It’s time for us to nominate our /c/rage’s Lemmyvision 3 song!

Over the past few weeks, our community has submitted nominations, and we have until 3rd May to pick a winner. Our Lemmyvision representatives @Gorgritch_umie_killa and @zero_gravitas have again delegated our election to an independent agency, the Aussie.zone Eureka Commission (AEC).

Anyone who has recently commented a few times on aussie.zone before today is allowed to vote. (This includes, for example, various Australians on other instances)

This election uses preferential Instant-Runoff Voting[wiki] just like our federal elections. Put simply, this means that if your [1] choice has no chance of election, your vote then moves over to your [2] choice, and so on.

Here are the entries. Please listen to them all before voting:

Here is the ballot template for you to fill in. Copy and paste it as a new reply to this post, and number ALL boxes from 1 to 10 in order of your choice. [1] is your preferred choice, [10] is your least preferred.

    Other observations:

    https://www.condorcet.vote/Vote/CD6C3A2912/

    BLEACH was a natural Condorcet winner (would win in a one-on-one race against each other opponent). Miss Erotica was a natural Condorcet loser.

    Everyone preferred:

    • DEATH CULT ZOMBIE over Miss Erotica, Dracula and Work Out Fine
    • Keith over Miss Erotica and Dracula
    • BLEACH over Miss Erotica

      Use all caps when publishing a song! Thats such a random little note to come out of this. Its a bit like the truism to put a smiley face on the bill, because it garners more tips.

      Thanks so much eureka@aussie.zone, a fantastic job again this year.

      One question would you go all nine rounds every time? In other words if there were clearer favourites that would reduce the number of rounds? Or is the aim to eliminate one candidate at a time and redirect only those flows each round.

      I’ve never done electoral work, so I assumed multiple drop-outs were a thing.

    I will aim to calculate the results around 8pm AEST, so that we can publish them to the event runner well in time for the deadline (4th May in their timezone).

    I admittedly have never heard of any of them besides Gizzard and Tame Impala, but there’s some good stuff in there. I thought about nominating Terrestrials by Pond, but my username was already taken on aussie.zone and I couldn’t think of another one. Oh well.
