I Knew it

Come on then. Come up with a 100% foolproof system. The only one that gives everyone a single vote would be to stop people who've registered after the cut off date for the contest from voting. Whether people vote tactically or not is then upto them, and that is something you cannot stop.

I merely suggest a more transparent system. One option is the same system used at the TA Top 250 DJs poll. But this option leaves no space for discussion.
The best option I can think of, is a ONE single thread where you nominate 10 tunes in your preferred order, and just like Nautilus' system, every tune is given a value which is compiled/updated into a final results table. Simple and transparent.

it would depend on the number of people nominating opposed to the number who vote. it'd be interesting to find out how many people didn't nominate but voted, or vice-versa.

That wouldn't be a problem anymore. The compiled results would be updated often, so your nominations are your votes. No polls/rounds.

Personally, I like the round system because it generates discussion about the tracks & we have time to check out nominees we're less familiar with.

I don't think Antikythera Mechanism would not have won without the lobbying that went on for it. Which suited me just fine...I loved that track.

That wouldn't be a problem either, as a top 100 list would be compiled and made available to everyone in the main thread around june, updated monthly (also in random order to avoid bias), and generating space for discussion. Note the 10 choices you make around june, could be updated the times you want and the final results would be modified with the monthly update.

pretty mediocre list but not blaming you for it b/c it was based on what was generated by the voters.

Why the fuck do you care so much? Whatever system gets used, the winner will probably be shit. The very concept is as flawed as the DJ Mag poll.

No method will satisfy everyone, but I am suggesting a more transparent and fair system, and obviously better that DJ Mag's "obscure" method. Please relax and take the time to read what the method consists of, you will see it is somehow reasonable.

...agreed that the list is quite...let's say poor in choices, there were lots of other ch00ns which deserved to be there... see The Blizzard - Kalopsia, Leon Bolier - Summernight Confessions, Super8&Tab - Suru, First State - Sierra Nevada, Gareth Emery - More than anything etc. etc. the list would be too big...

I went with Dash Berlin - Till the sky falls down, wanted to vote for Formentera What, but I discovered that kinda late in January 08, so... Dash Berlin be it!
