I have about 5-6, is that enough?

I think we're going to run into repetitiveness here in Round 1, which would take away from the game a bit.
phanan said:It's intriguing, but then two people in Group 1 would be in an extra round, which would skew the number of votes they receive.
That's the other thing I'm struggling with here. In the other groups, each person is in four rounds. In our group, as it currently is setup, we'd be in all five rounds. This means that the cumulative number of votes we receive will be higher. If there are tiebreakers at some point, where it comes down to vote difference, we'll be at an unfair advantage because we would have received more votes.
I should have thought of these complications sooner.
phanan said:Actually, the tiebreakers are in play throughout.
Let's say Players A and B meet in a semifinal and end in a tie. If each player's won-loss record and points were the same, it would come down to vote differential at that moment. If Player A had been in one extra round and gotten to the semifinals, it's a good bet they'd have a better differential because they'd have more votes.
Most likely, this wouldn't happen, but you never know.
If we didn't do a Supertracklist, I'd go with your previous suggestion over this one.

(Thinking of Friday night's heated discussion.)

I called Axver's list safe and predictable, and he wasn't too keen on that. A few of the new people weren't too happy when he called their lists "crap" compared to the vets'. And then we started talking about space moons in space or something...I was pretty out of it.![]()
Axver said:I'm confused with all this talk regarding Group 1's lack of five contestants.
Why not just run it as a pure 4 person round, with each person in three heats?
I'm really not seeing the problem. It'll end sooner, but we want things to move quickly anyway.

Last night was a complete blur. I know for a fact that the newcomer lists aren't terrible as everyone has been nominated in at least one Critic's Choice category after just two ballots. Crap is sort of like hate in the sense that they are both words that have different degrees of negativity based on each person. It turned out to end well.
phanan said:
You know what, you're right.
Screwtape, let's just do it as a 4 person round and the top 2 will advance. Plain and simple.
Axver said:
Yes, you're quite right. I'm just a wanker sometimes, that's all.
For the good of the game, perhaps Desert Island IV should just be run by Screwtape and phanan. Ever since my premium membership expired, my role has been increasingly diminishing anyway.

I guess my playlist consisting of nothing but 60's Lennon/Yoko collaborations, random sound effects I found on the internet, and Metal Machine Music won't be very well-accepted then.
