U.S. Presidential Elections Survivor - 1860 IS THE SURVIVOR !

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

BTW, what's so bad with 1916 ? It was a close, hardly fought election which had dramatic consequences for the world.

Nothing's particularly bad about any of the remaining elections. The decision is becoming quite difficult.

1796 and 1884 were not that great.

Well, 1796 was the first "real" contested election, while 1884 was the meanest election ever and the first Democratic victory post Civil War.

As I said, the decisions are getting pretty difficult. I'll probably vote 1884 next.

I'm still trying to decide between 1980, 1884, 2008 and 1800

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Eliminate 1992 (This or 1968 is the least important remaining.)

Save 1912

I agree with Vazdul, now it's difficult.

But 1976 is a good candidate to go

[Antonio the Sixth]

1916 : -5
1796 : -1
1980 : 1
1992 : 1
1912 : 1
1948 : 3

1916 is out

Round 43 begins. Now you have 10 votes, that you can split as you want (but you can't cumulate more than 6 votes on a single election).

[big bad fab]

6 for 1976
3 for 1992
1 for 1980

[Dancing with Myself]

6-2008
3-1800
1-1912

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

6 for 1860
3 for 1912
1 for 1824

[Antonio the Sixth]

Again... Someone adoopt a 6-3-1 scheme and everybody follows him ?

4 to 1796
3 to 1884
3 to 1800

[Edu]

6 for 1980
2 for 2008
2 for 1800

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

[Hans-im-Glück]

6 for 1796
4 for 1800

[Antonio the Sixth]

Wow, this round is being closer than expected... Very good.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

The one with the least votes is out, right?

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

The one with the least votes is out, right?

No, the one with the most votes is out. It's like the TV show "Survivor" (hence the name), where we vote to eliminate one person/year/party/whatever each round.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Can I change my vote then?

6 for 1976
2 for 1796
1 for 1884

[big bad fab]

6 for 1976
2 for 1796

You should allow him, Antonio
He is not accustomed to our strange games !

[RIP Robert H Bork]

6 for 1992
4 for 1948

[Magic 8-Ball]

6 for 1800
4 for 1980

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, I count Obamanation's second vote (who, weirdly enough, cast only 9...).

1800 : 24
1980 : 15
1976 : 12
1796 : 12
1992 : 9
2008 : 8
1884 : 4
1948 : 4
1912 : 1

1800 is out

1796 should have gone before, but I can't complain...

[Antonio the Sixth]

Here are the results from round 38 to 43 :

Round 38 : 1848
Round 39 : 1880
Round 40 : 1844
Round 41 : 2004
Round 42 : 1916
Round 43 : 1800

Immune from round 39 to round 43 : 1932

[Antonio the Sixth]

Well, now we are enterirng in a radically new cycle, and we'll have funny and original votes in order to determinate how the final top 5 will be composed !

First of all, two elections will be qualified using a special system.
- One is qulified right now, as the only election which has neve received any vote : it's the 1860 election (I initially planned to organize a round for qualification between the election which didn't receive any vote previously I figured there was only one ).
- The second will be determined right now, with a special round ! For this round, you have to rank five elections, the five you most want to be qualified among the remaining 13, beginning with the one you most want to be qualified. The system used will be approval voting (that means counting one vote for each election), but in case of tie I will use IRV (your vote is cast only to the highest ranking election, and if this election is eliminated it will go to your second ranking, then to your third etc...) instead.

Then you'll see what happens for remaining 12...
Let's go !

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

So we're voting for the 5 that we most want to keep?

[Antonio the Sixth]

So we're voting for the 5 that we most want to keep?

Exact. Give us your top 5.

[RIP Robert H Bork]

Exact. Give us your top 5.

1860 is already included in the top 5. Are we to list the other 4 elections that we want in the top 5, or the top 5 excluding 1860?
