I think I voted 'movies' in the trial vote last month as I don't particularly like the subject but I do generally do Ok so swiched to voting History this time.

It is possible that 'marmite' subjects like movies could yo-yo (boing-boing?) between being in and out as they will win both polls when up for them!

You might gain some votes tomorrow.

Today I am p:ssed off at the music questions (think I only knew one). Opera, musicals and god bothering are not my favourite genres.

New vote-off poll just started!

New/old boy 'Literature' is (re-)added to the poll.

I'm starting this early as I may not be around much in the next week or two.

I will declare a deadline of Midnight at the end of Friday June 28th if someone can announce the results for me - but if saintmark wants/needs anything different then he can take the result whenever he wants.

Voted for History. I thought I liked history as a subject but these questions are never anything about what I relate to being history - Mainly the Arts, Literature, Musicals and more bloody Musicals, thrown in with other random questions that have nothing to do with the Topic :evil:

10 questions on the hokey cokey......


I may tweak the rules to say if you get voted out (or in) in Month 1 then you don't feature in the vote for Month 2 so you get at least 2 months in or out. Should give a bit more variety as Music is winning 50% of all votes and Literature is getting many others (not this month though??)

JULY RESULT

Which category do you want to be removed for August?

Science & Technology 11% 11% [ 2 ]
World Trivia 6% 6% [ 1 ]
Music 44% 44% [ 8 ]
History 28% 28% [ 5 ]
General Knowledge 0% 0% [ 0 ]
Geography 0% 0% [ 0 ]
Saturday Guest Round 11% 11% [ 2 ]

So music continues its yo-yoing. From next month, any topic voted in or out will not be eligible for the following month's poll so any new subject gets two months grace before being voted off and any binned subject can't return for 2 months.

The problem at the moment isn't that topics are yo-yoing, if that's what people are voting for, that's what we should do. The problem is the complete lottery of the "random guess round" (aka guest round). :evil:

Note - the winners of the 2 polls this month will not be put up for a vote next month so you are condemning a subject to at least 2 months away.

I will declare a deadline of Midnight at the end of Friday August 30th but if saintmark wants/needs anything different then he can take the result whenever he wants.....
