Did I hear someone say you were going to college???

[FTJoe]

So what are you going for?

[benjamin1990]

im going to become a mechanic and also my business degree and hopefully be able to open up a restoration shop.

[FTJoe]

Awesome - I've always told my son to get a degree and learn a trade. Make a killing!!

[Stirfry]

i came to tally up the current votes and i see the first post already has it, failure!

wasn't aware i got two votes, wo0t!

you have no idea how i am calculating votes.

[FTJoe]

Beauty is, with a degree and a trade, you'll smoke the Joes out there. Good times or bad, the trades rule. being educated is a leg up on the folks that aren't.

[Stirfry]

as i said in the first post of this Round 2 thread; there would be some kind of unnamed calculation formula, as well as something else based on voted BY nominees... i intentional left those a mystery to so they would not influence how people voted...

but, first things first.

A. everyone started with "points" based on how many nominations they received (in Round 1) .

JagSol - 3

LinksZelda21 - 2

Bigjim - 2

Uma - 2 (removed self, but her votes were calculated as a nominee)

Jolly - 2

Roober - 2

benjimin1990 - 2

TheHodgehound – 1

nana - 1

deathawates87 - 1

ddavelarsen - 1

actor92191 - 1

B. every vote from a non-nominee is scored by the order they placed them in. as follows:

Pick 1 - 3 points

Pick 2 - 2 points

pick 3- 1 point

C. THEN if a NOMINEE (was unselfish) and voted for ANOTHER NOMINEE, I ADDED ONE to each vote. As follows:

Pick 1 – 3 (+1) = 4

Pick 2 – 2 (+1 ) = 3

Pick 3 – 1 (+ 1) = 2

D. However, IF A NOMINEE VOTED for THEMSELVES it is MINUS ONE for each vote. As follows:

Pick 1 – 3 (- 1) = 2

Pick 2 – 2 (- 1) = 1

Pick 3 – 1 (- 1) = 0

So, here’s the breakdown. I placed all votes by non-nominees first. After that i placed all voted cast by nominees.

If you see a number in parentheses then the number proceeding it was the placement, and the following number is “+” if that vote was from another nominee, and “-“ if that vote was from themselves.

FOR EXAMPLE: Stirfry: 2 + 3 + 1 + 3 (+ 1) + 1 + 2 (- 1) = 12

The “+ 3 (+ 1)” means another nominee voted me as their first pick. Therefore “3 + 1”, however, the “+ 2 (- 1) “ means I voted for myself as my second choice, and lost a point for doing so.

Hope that is explanation enough.

[*See end of previous page for detailed breakdown of scoring procedure... either way though, it was a blow-out!]

JagSol : 3+3+3(+1)+3+3(+1)+2+3(+1)+3(-1)+2+3(+1)+3+3 = 37

LinksZelda21 : 2+1+3(+1)+2(+1)+1(+1)+3(-1)+2(-1)+3+3+2(+1)+2+3 = 29

Bigjim : 2+1+1(+1)+1 = 6

Uma : 2 +2 (removed self, but her votes were calculated as a nominee

Jolly : 2+3(+1) = 6

Now, none of this matters since JagSol totally ran away with it, but next time, people, remember that it is about GIVENG, not getting.

Congrats Jag! You won a VP PT package!

(LinksZelda21, i am sending you something too. i'll message you)

i was re-checking the math and i ran out of time to edit, here's the rest of the list. i was off a bit on the math but it did not chance the outcome. here's the updates math regardless (the first half of the list is undated above)

CONGRATS JAG!!!!!!

Fry....this was an awesome contest! Very well thought out!!!

[kitsune]

Finding a job/career you can do for the rest of your life is very much the challenge. Its even better when you find your path early in life. I have been fortunate and have spent the last 26 years doing a job I still love. Hate the politics and all the extraneous parts of working within a corporation, but I still like my job (most days).

College is good !!!

[Jolly]

like the math factor.

congrats jag!

[JagSol]

I want to thank everyone from Jeffb for nominating me to death who stuck with me. I'm very surprised that I won this, seeing it's a rarity that I won something. I'm glad we all had fun though and Link, congrats on being the runner up too! I wasn't worried that I could have lost to you, but seeing the votes...makes me think how much you all mean to me. It makes me happy that I finally fit in somewhere and can have fun without being told to shut up...or to go do something, lol. Anyways, the point is that I'm thankful for you all to come vote for everyone and I hope it's also a lesson we learned too about giving.

[ThaHodgehound]

I'll never vote for myself again!!! LOL This contest made me wanna give something away!!! Maybe some juice I don't care for......hmmmm
