TFF Calendar Competition.

...

Option,
open it up to a wider voting audience by putting in Agricultural Matters and a week to vote so that top vote is front page, next 11 are main pic of the month (november being poppy) and next 24 are the insets.

,

Sounds like a good plan

 

[llamedos]

Yes,no pressure @llamedos

Have a little bit of sympathy, I have got man-flu

 

[mtx.jag]

Have a little bit of sympathy, I have got man-flu

You have my greatest sympathy

 

[Mursal]

How did that happen .............

Yes,no pressure @llamedos

Who are you kidding!!!!!!!

 

[glow worm]

You have my greatest sympathy

Really?! I saw a man flu kit once. Book to keep the poor invalid amused. Eye pads for the aching eyes. Umpteen lotions, rubs and pills.... and a whistle to summon the wife!!!

 

[YorkshireAndrew]

Get well soon .

Ok all. Pace Ward prefer that you all decide on the pictures you want to see.

We need 12 main pictures.
24 inserts + one front page. So 37 out of the 50 is what is required.

It has been requested and agreed that November main picture is to be @Philip Watkins poppy. So 11 further main ones.

so how do you want to do this.

Should top vote be front page though, nobody really gets to see that for long, if it's a conventional calendar that you turn over the front page to see January etc

Well I have not got a full blown cold, just sore throat and headache, so can only assume it to be the ManFlu, which has crossed the gender gap finally.

That is the point of this, it is up to you all.

I though we already had a vote that was open for about six weeks?

Do we not just go for the top 12 / 37 photos after the removal of duplicate entries from members and use the second vote that has already taken place to decide on posts where more than one photo was in a post.

Sheesh, this will be as bad as re-running a European referendum until the powers that be get the result they wanted in the first place.

Whatever the majority want, that is why I am asking.
Had we just taken the top votes from the first round then around 1/2 doz of you would have had all the entries, and no one else got a look in.

Quite happy to send the file via drop box to anyone who would like to sort it out from here.

 

[Mursal]

But if you let the top 1/2 doz pick their own fav entry, then work on the number of votes for the rest?
Or better still most voted for, but only one entry per lad/ladette?
Just a suggestion ............

Or just put the top entries in a hat and keep pulling names out until you have enough, again one per entrant. They'll be no scrapping here, all well mannered folk ..........

 

[Gator]

Yep, good plan so get on wi it, what ever you choose I think will be fair.

Very well done Carole for your patience and time going through them all.

 

[Spartacus]

You are going to have vote after vote at this rate, one to pick 12 then one to pick the month they go on! Is it possible to have a vote on each photo (so you could give more options) or would that mean a thread per picture? Ignore me if it over complicates things and just pick the ones that go best!

 

[Philip Watkins]

Is this calendar for 2017 or 2018? If the voting is made any more complex or the way of choosing which ones is debated by a committee of 20000 members it won't even be ready till 2019. Just do it the way Carole suggested and get it going.

 

[Gong Farmer]

Or just take 12 random pics from the Oooooh thread and be done with it.

Edit: I'm assuming there might be pictures in the Oooooh thread, not sure as of course I've never looked at it

 

[RushesToo]

We need one to separate into seasons, so winter spring summer autumn,
4 threads on the photo thread one for each season.
As many likes as you want in each season.
Highest gets month, next highest gets inserts.

We will just have to hope that the seasons work.
Sorry Llamedos - more work for you, but keeps it simple and everyone will only have to look at each thread once. You will be able to start with a clean slate and ignore comments.
All those in favour say Aye.

 

[Boysground]

I think we need a vote to decide which voting system to use. failing that I will go with whatever system @llamedos is happy with. she has to do all the work.

Bg
