Wizmaster presents.. EvC Poster of the year

His postings may well come off a being sterile, but I look at that as being because they are clear and concise.Bill doesn't post many messages, but most all are POTM contenders.Go here, and enter "Bill Birkeland" (minus the " ") into the "Search by User Name" field, to get a listing of his most recent messages. This list includes multiple messages in the same topic.Moose{Added by edit - commenting on tabulation later in this thread:

​

I pretty much can't disagree with any of the selections on that list. Of those on the list, I actually look forward to seeing anything posted by Bill Birkeland, NosyNed, Percy, Truthlover, Mark24, and Sylas. Both Percy's and NosyNed's output tends to get diluted some, as they both tend to sometimes operate somewhat in the "admin mode", even when posting under the cited names. But Truthlover, Mark24, and Sylas all could have been my pick (I hope this isn't a violation of what I said in the following message. Also, this addendum subject to further change). }This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 09-22-2004 08:29 PM

Actually, this might be a good place for the Borda system, which was discussed in Activist Courts vs Oppressive Gov't topic. I think the (off-topic) voting system discussion got started at about message 19.Anyhow, we could give our (say) top 5 selections in order of preference. The #1 pick would get 5 points, #2-4, #3-3, #4-2, and the #5 would get 1 point. Total up the points to get the winner, and a ranking form #1 on down.I'll leave it up the the Wiz, if he wants to start a second variation topic.I also started the Instant Runoff Voting topic.Moose

I think Syamsu had done some valuable contributions here, albeit (IMO) in a highly redundant fashion. I say that, not having closely followed much of what he has posted.Now Buz, Schraf - Please drop the matter.Moose

Maybe later this year we could start a new topic, but instead of just picking one member, pick and rank the top 5 (or 10 or whatever).We wouldn't have to bother assigning points and tabulating them up, although that would be an option.MooseThis message has been edited by minnemooseus, 09-29-2004 02:01 PM
