Don't complain and whine, Brother O. Stand on the platform of my shoulders and correct it. Thanks.

I'm not going to interfere with this (already much interfered with) thread of Silverstrikers by trying to be the vote counter for him - but if you're going to do that however, at least count up properly.
Silverstriker has done a stirling job of getting this comp going and should take all the credit for this fine thing he's done.

Originally posted by orangutanWrong again, Emily. So far, there have been nine (9) voters who've each cast their weighted votes for the twelve (12) entries involved. Doing the math results in a grand total of one hundred and eight (108) '5-3-1 point spreads' distributed (9 voters x 12 entries = 108). Simple inspection suggests the points garnered are 19, 17, 12, 12... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 3, 1. Well within the realm of possibility that my failing eyesight and marginally legible scrawl may have played a trick or two with my clot infested brain. Please put the record straight with your own incisive analysis of the 2012 RHP Prose Competition scene. Thank you.
Twelve entries and twelve votes (so far).
Surely there are more votes to be made ....
Read.
Digest.
Vote.
Enjoy.

I do note that you're rather reticent when it comes to this sort of thing though. i.e. Apologising.
I was simply pointing out your error - I don't want an argument.
I'm not posting my own workings out as it's not my place to do so. Please try to work out your own "place".
Silverstriker - apologies for this.

Read the thread again and supply me with a proper apology.
If you're going to get on a high horse like this then make sure of your facts.
12 people have voted and the scores are not as you supplied.
I'm not adding to this argument in this thread - apologies to Silverstriker for taking it thus far.
Originally posted by KewpieStriker launched the thread for the benefit of all RHP General Forum Posters. Major purpose is to provide a timely vehicle for the capture of member votes (with several prods already to get procrastinators off their duffs and get their votes in) as well as to engage posters in lively conversation regarding the event in progress. My initiative in try ton figure out the evolving score was both innocent of ulterior motive and and practical to the extent that it might provide constructive grist for the thread's 24/7 mill. Sad that you, veteran that you are, would attempt to squat on another member's team spirit and enthusiasm.
This is Silverstriker's thread. He's done all the work, all this is just an attempt to freeload on somebody else's effort, and it's pathetic behaviour, GB. The rest of you, DON'T FEED THE TROLL!!!!
Now, back to the voting ...

"So far, there have been 12 voters with 9 points to distribute each casting their weighted votes for the twelve (12) entries involved. Doing the math results in a grand total of one hundred and eight (108) '5-3-1 point spreads' distributed between twelve entries. Simple inspection suggests the points garnered registered 19, 17, 12, 12... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 3, 1...."
P.S. Still off by two. Should be 108 rather the 109 total of the twelve entries. Somebody please come to the rescue. I'm too fatigued to carry the ball the remaing yard to the end zone.

Stand corrected on my transposition of two otherwise accurate numbers. Thanks for drawing my attention to the gaff. Since our enjoyable personal messages, you've turned out to be quite a friend... not in the sloppy sentimental butt buddy sense but in the Lockian Sense that "We arrive at the truth through the honest disagreement among friends".
