Isn't that a factor that's almost, essentially, evenly distributed and would probably place each song at the same relative point on each? Like, if I nominated a song that was in your 50th percentile on both lists, that would end up being treated the same as a song that was in your 90th percentile on both or a song in your 10th percentile on both. Like, I guess it can deviate a little if you really liked one decade over another, but not only have you been very even-minded about that so far, but it also has nothing to do with the nominator themselves. I can kind of see why he did it in part because the 70s songs have been heavily weighted towards the bottom of the list so, like #704's "Jessica" is in 81st place among 70s songs, but 705. is #179 for 2000s and 703. is #175 for 90s. Since we all nominated three for each decade, it also presents how well we scored amongst those as well. It's weird, but I'm okay with the complexity. Even though it means I'm last place instead of first XD --- "In my headcanon, some staffer saw Trump pull out his phone and start typing so they just Terry Tate Office Linebacker'd him out of his shoes." - FFD <cite>Mega Mana posted [p:925587980] in Se7en Rank...
