I say there should be no winner this year. Too many shenanigans by the top three vote getters.

Ah. Yup, I agree with that. Either that or we subtract 35 votes from Dalriada. Or give it to Striker.
Full disclosure, I voted for Dalriada, so I don't feel comfortable strongly saying "yeah let's give it to Dalriada because they're trying to be honest and have the most votes otherwise".

I voted for Striker (I couldn't even watch a single set from Dalriada, shame on me), but it would not make any sense to remove 35 votes from Dalriada and leave Witchtrap untouched. I mean, that would be even more unfair.

is that a lovely way to name a band?? if so, maybe I live in a different world than you.

One cannot say the same about Total Death and Witchtrap, who have been begging their fans to register on this forum and vote.
Witch wrote:We think is this case the band who really deserves the Cripper Award is TRAUMA. (0 votes)
after seeing all this jealousy attitude from followers of Dalriada specially and some few from Total Death and even Witchtrap's, this in unbelievable and awful situation, where the Metalheads are spreading envy, rage and fury against other metaheads, ohh satan lord what the hell is going on here?
ExtraneouS wrote:I had an idea from preventing this from happening again. What if, someone was to make a Google Form to vote in, instead of voting in the forum, and one of the fields to fill out would be to put in your forum username. This way, we could disallow any votes from accounts that were created after the poll was open.

Then and only then will the votes count. And I agree that disqualifying Total Death and Witchtrap but not Dalriada doesn't seem fair.

Let's keep Facebook out of it.

SavaRon wrote:Why doesn't everybody post in this thread who they voted for specifically. Should be pretty easy to figure out who is the winner. Maybe only count members registered before this cruise. Might leave some real votes out, but should give a real good good idea who the leader actually is. Just a thought.

How should we proceed? I read all the posts and there were a few different suggestions. Should we invalidate this poll, and conduct voting as it had been done in past years? It was also mentioned to drop the Cripper Award for 2017 - I will totally leave this up to all you guys and gals, but I would also like to express my opinion here: I think we should not allow this poll-gone-wrong ruin something for us, that has worked so well in past years and that we all had a lot of fun being a part of.
I would like to ask the committee to weigh in on this - DragonLordJones, Stained Class, abodrocc, bodomdragon.
I will leave any decisions on how to proceed in your able hands!
Nope the poll is fine now ,it appears that the " maintenance " done by UMC was to remove a bunch of people who created usernames in order solely to vote.They must have removed duplicate IP addresses,don't know how many votes bands lost but totals are down.The decision is final,abodrocc wrote:Britta wrote:Wow, super sad and sorry to see that the voting for this Survivor-created award has taken such a turn this year.

My vote is to invalidate this poll, if UMC have resources to make a votation, where this year's registred sailors vote once, will be a new one.
Just like the votes for songs in the Jeff Waters Jam few years ago, or the survivor feedback survey.
