ATTENTION: Vote for season 10 car!

[Nicolai Nicholson]

I find it dubious, if we first vote publicly and after all or most of the votes are given, arbitrarily decide, whose vote counts. I guess we should have announced before voting which criteria defines, who is eligible to vote. As we didn't do like this, it would be fair to decide that all the votes count?

What is doubious? That I am the only one who cry out when we receive votes outside the parameters we agreed before voting?

We said votes from those who plan to race season 10 would be eligeble, thus Henrik's is not as he has not confirmed his participation.

Helder came in from the side-line (we had not agreed what to do in such an event), I asked if his vote should be counted or not before I knew what it was. 100% of those who replied said yes, thus, Helder's vote counts.

So that is it, we count all votes except Henrik's, that is the most fair thing to do, that is what we agreed before voting and if anyone think this vote is unfair they should say so now before the results are revield.

 

[Reik Major]

Agree with Nico. If Henrik says he's in for season 10, then his vote could count too. Helder says he is in, so his vote should count.

If no one else's vote is missing, I think we should finish the vote right now and release the result, shouldn't we?
(maybe it turns out that Henriks vote wouldn't change anything no matter if considered or not, so we don't need to look for a fair solution in this case)

 

[Marko Vuori]

Agree with Nico and Reik in that Henrik's vote should count, if he confirms participation (from all of his posts in forum, I always had the belief that he is going to participate). I think that if his vote does not make a difference, the results could be revealed right away. Otherwise we should wait for his confirmation.

Ok, this was a bit of a sticky situation

To be 100% fair in terms of the vote we have to ignore Henrik's vote I think. He only participated in the first 5 races last season, and is not doing a super job in this thread either (nothing personal).

The problem is that ignoring Henrik's vote will make it a tie between f3000 and FRR, Counting Henrik's vote will make f3000 the sole winner.

It was redicolusly tight, with Henriks vote (22 votes) the score was:
MMG=49 FRR=49 F3000=50

Without (21 votes) it is:
MMG=46 FRR=48 F3000=48

I'm so glad we agreed on what to do in the case of a tie (irony)

EDIT: I will re-count the votes to be sure.

oh goody, more debate (sarcasm)

just toss a coin nico and be done with this.

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

http://www.magic8.co.uk/ask I asked here but even the magic 8 ball isnt sure

 

[Valter Ostman]

This is an easy thing to decide. Like we always have done to nominate a winner. The fastest car wins.

 

[Steeve Fournier]

I'm impressed that results are so tight!

 

[Valerio Vinassa]

oh goody, more debate (sarcasm)

just toss a coin nico and be done with this.

may be the right solution I vote for this

 

[Bob Laube]

may be the right solution I vote for this

I hope very much,
it is a special coin with F3000 on one side and on the other F3000

 

[David Turnbull]

lol bob if it was f3000 on both sides it could turn out to be the longest coin toss in history

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

Id say 1 either side and mmg if it lands balanced on the edge its happening live.

I am in either way, have not tried out the F3000 yet, but will get down to it sometime next week.
If F3000 means closer racing I gotta admit it sounds more appealing - but like I said, there is no decision that will make me leave.

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

I dunno what to say Someone solve this. If you ask me we pick f3000 due to the sum of facts, but I am biased as I am worried about Marko, Bob Laube and Peter if FRR is picked (Sean and David seems to be motivated either way) .

 

[Sean Greenlaw]

 

[Helder Filipe]

for me it does not matter, but, in the past we (PrestoGP) run with F3000 after some seasons change to MMG...so now to be different pass to the next -> FRR??

I dont know... nor the votes help us

 

[Bob Miley]

As it's a tie, odd numbered races is F3000 even numbers is FRR, or should that be the other way round

I vote for coin toss, best out of 1000, but if it's closer than 300 between then it should be done again out of 2000 just to be sure

Reik as champion make your choice.

 

[Jim Hawley]

I was just trying to point out that I think Henrik believes he has made a firm commitment to participate and submited his vote

I'm not sure why we think we should exclude it?
