If either of you have certain people blocked, the discrepancy could come from that.
Oh fuck I completely forgot about this. This is why I don't run contests! Disregard my results (I deleted them), I did not un-ignore people before counting.
Wait, I went through and manually checked and I'm only missing one post from my Psychic Terrain count (#51) so let me figure out who that is and I'll have a for-real second opinion count.
"-I'm not unblocking people just so I can count their votes."

Oh nevermind it's in the rules. As you were, then (I don't disagree with this rule) but it means it's impossible for me to double-check your work
Aria isn't un-ignoring people either, which means no one else will be able to replicate her tallies.

edit snipe
Change is weird.
Scoree should still be 0 in total though lol.
Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc , the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest.
Either way Lapras definitely did not and could never have gotten 84 points so I'm not quite sure what happened in that original tally lol
I was counting them manually during lulls at work, so probably a combo of distraction and input error. ....several times, maybe? I could also see myself screwing up positive and negative, but that shouldn't affect Lapras.

I did get 1 Laura's, there were two in the sheet but I think one was a quote

which I'm gonna have to make a rule about btw

I think it's simplest to just use text-to-columns to separate the numbers from the names into their own column, then put all of the votes for one pokemon into one column and sum them. It didn't take me too long using this method - I don't have a way to automate gathering the data so i copy and pasted every ballot myself but then text to columns and summing the column was quick.

I'd switch to another account and do it myself but there'll still be discrepancies because of ignore lists which you're in your right to not bother subverting, so I can't really do it for you.
If Aria has them blocked they can't see the topic anyway
MZero , to the extreme

They can if they are only ignored though.

This is not a function I was aware existed, I will poke at it, thanks!

I've been informed my votals are STILL pretty wrong, so I gotta figure something out before I just get frustrated and bin the whole thing.

I already pm'ed you with more specific questions about it but I am volunteering to do vote counts so we won't be binning anything

I didn't even want to make you feel bad, but I had to call the D7 counts into question because they're further off than even a normal miscount for some reason and I'm not even sure why (it's not the ignore list)
also btw if anybody else took over votals, I'd be okay with their block list applying instead of mine. (as long as they didn't, like, obviously weaponize that lol) My blocklist is not intended as some sort of maplejetian punishment. >_>

Consider it done then, I assume it's not a duty that you are sad to pass off, I'm happy to handle the vote count and not have to do any of the rest of the organization
I will have the latest votals up tomorrow, and I can go back and clean up previous days if you don't mind. (I don't think any results will change, except possibly for D7)
THANK YOU

I've been secretly hoping somebody would volunteer this whole time, the rest of the organization is the part I enjoy lol

I'm up for checking votals now and then if necessary, I like doing that stuff.

Also eddv often typos pokemon names, if you're using some automatic system
Thank you too!!!

Well my tally of Psychic Terrain gives a different result to both other counts >_>

Lapras 54
Fuecoco 42
Zekrom 13
Ogerpon 12
Hariyama -5
Clefairy -7
Scraggy -19
Rhyperior -20
Duraludon -30
Makuhita -40

Which would swap Rhyperior and Scraggy's positions, obviously. I don't know lmao I'll leave it to Para
Can I get a preemptive DELIDELIDELIDELIWHOOOOOOOP in the thread for Kricketunes assured victory

Huh, I'll look at it in a bit. I don't suppose you have anyone on ignore
Oh, whoops, I did miss one vote set due to that. I didn't realise as it was at the top of a page.

Yeah I know what happened lol.

I'm strongly inclined to simply count all votes, no matter who they're from. It's just easiest that way.
Bored at work. This is what I got counting all of the votes by hand, no one ignored:

Psychic Terrain Division
Lapras +55
Fuecoco +42
Ogerpon +12
Zekrom +10
Clefairy -5
Hariyama -5
Rhyperior -17
Scraggy -21
Duraludon -31
Makuhita -40

Which adds up to 0
**R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile)
Okay we're all still getting different numbers here, at this point let me go back and double check my numbers to make sure they're correct. I'm not counting by hand.
Mine match andy's if you include Ulti's vote, which I did

Okay, I can triple-confirm these are the correct numbers. I am not sure why I had slightly different numbers yesterday - must be a copy and paste error, which I will have to be very careful about in the future. (Or someone deleted their vote or something. Don't do that. I'll kill you.)
All previous days should also be recounted, even day 1 does not add up to 0

I am already working on it, don't worry.
I'd be happy to help recheck a few previous days too if you want to split the workload, but first we need a consensus on which votes to include

I'd also offer to recount or set up some semi-automatic spreadsheet stuff but I have no one ignored and I am uncomfortable going don't into detail about who has who blocked so I would only provide the full thing.

I'm doing this from an alt account with no ignore list. It's the only way to ensure consistently accurate counts amongst multiple people. (This isn't a moral judgment against using an ignore list one way or the other, it's just logistic realities)

I already have recounts of days 1, 2, and 6 done (and I have strong reason to believe they are accurate), so it would be convenient if you wanted to help do days 3 4 and 5
Currently my method is copy and pasting ballots by hand (I have to be careful to make sure I copy each ballot correctly, I may have made a mistake when doing D7 yesterday) into a spreadsheet, then text to columns and just summing the columns. So I have to copy the ballots by hand but everything else is automated. If someone figures out how to do it faster than this I'm all ears
I'll do day 5 for now, but I'm doing this on paper like a chump so it's pretty slow. I'll leave 3 and 4 for anyone else who wants to help, but I could do them later too if no one does
**R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D** (On mobile)
I don't mind getting them all, mind you, I just won't have them done until later tonight.
Well it can't hurt to have some double-checking in any case, so I'll do at least day 5 (plus I'm super bored at work).

Also, don't know how strict Aria wants to go about the 24 hours deadline but there are a couple of votes going over it
I had a go at Agility with all votes, if I'm right it looks like:

Dragapult 70
Quagsire 54
Omastar 35
Phantump 20
Croconaw 3
Mandibuzz -10
Iron Jugulis -36
Iron Thorns -43
Snubbull -46
Iron Leaves -47

And fun stats: Dragapult appeared in the most number of ballots (34/48), and Croconaw the least (23/48). The Psychic Terrain division had Duraludon in the most ballots, also at 34/48, and Clefairy with in the fewest, just 22/48.

These are my numbers as well. (Sorry, I already had them, just didn't post them yet. I have other numbers ready to go that I have not posted yet)
Post #191 was unavailable or deleted.
Ah whoops, well at least we can confirm each other's scoring. I might do Day 3 tomorrow if nobody's doing that one.
Yeah, since I apparently made a copy and paste error on Psychic Terrain (I know how to not do this in the future, I just wasn't being careful) it really doesn't hurt
OK I've done a recount of Day 1 and Cutiefly was actually first with +100! No need to check my numbers, everyone.

Iron Head Division
Heracross 70
Absol 40
Maractus 9
Ledian 5
Wigglytuff 3
Litleo -4

Pidgeot 46
Appletun 23
Mantine 21
Hoothoot 17
Armarogue 14
