Design Vote 1: The Overall Concept

THIS VOTE IS NOW CLOSED!

Please use the design thread to discuss the results of the first vote.

Circle Automotive wheel system Diagram Wheel


111 of 116 eligible participants in Project THOR voted. Thank You! The following participants did NOT vote: DudeStar; cbgrey; lycjoe; Armmaham; and thong07. Voting IS mandatory, and since the project has a three strikes and you're out policy, each of these participants has been assessed a strike. If you are on the participant's list and have no intention of remaining involved in the project, please let us know so that we can assign your spot to the next person on the waiting list.

The original post for this thread was as follows:

It's time for our first vote!

Hopefully by now you will have had enough time to consider the options that were discussed in the first design thread, and that you have already decided on which of the two overall design concepts for the Project THOR watch you like best. For this vote there will only be two choices: Should the design of the project watch be a HOMAGE or an ORIGINAL design?

This vote will run for a full week to allow everyone an opportunity to participate. At the end of the week the results will be tabulated and posted in this thread and in the project summary post of the FAQ thread.

The Usual Preamble Concerning Voting (please read - at least once):Over the next 24 hours a vote form will be sent to the email address you used to register for the project. Please look for this email, fill out the form completely - and accurately - and then submit it. You will need to use the Unique Identifier (UI) number you were provided with by WUS PM when you registered for the project to use the form. Please contact CzechMate if you do not receive your vote form - and you've checked your spam/junk folders - by Dec. 19 at 19:00 GMT.

REMEMBER: Voting in this project is mandatory! You must submit a vote to remain a registered participant. Failing to participate in three votes throughout the duration of this project will result in a person's removal from the registration list. This is a project for active participants, not those speculating on a limited edition watch for its potential resale value.

A design element that receives the majority of the votes (>51%) will be considered the winner.

All voting for Project THOR will use the STV system, which allows a person to rank all options in order of their preference. In other words, if your first choice doesn't get enough votes to win, your vote will automatically roll over to your second choice, and if necessary (and applicable), your third choice and so on. This is an excellent system, one that we used to great success for our last Steinhart project watch. We suggest that you search Wikipedia for "single transferable vote" if you would like more detailed information on how the STV works.

Once the vote has concluded, and the results have been posted, those who are unsatisfied by its outcome have two options: They can either notify us that they wish to leave the project, or they can accept the result and continue on. There will no option to debate a vote result or to repeat it. If you decide to leave the project we would appreciate that you immediately notify us so that your position on the registration list can be given to the next person on the waiting list.

Re: Vote Thread 1: The Overall Concept

BTW, after too many request for resending the UI (which most of you then found in the first PM), we will need to specifically ask you to keep it at hand, as we will use it throughout the project. It is just a safety measure, imagine, that someone would try to cast a vote in your name... I hope you all guys understand why there is a need for this UI and please, keep it somewhere safe, don't disclose it to anyone... Cast with valid UI will be considered valid, despite any objections... On the contrary, cast WITHOUT valid UI will be considered invalid.

Thank you!

Makes sense to me. I didn't want to bug you with it so I just posted in this thread and bugged everyone else.

Re: Vote Thread 1: The Overall Concept

OK guys, I'm trying to look up those, who did not vote yet, but have to say you make my life a little but more difficult, than I would like. For you to understand, we are using state of the art algorithms and very expensive software (Google spreadsheet:) ) to evaluate our data, but, we have a problem, when this software works with wrong data. Here is the problem:

When you registered, you were asked to enter your nickname exactly as it appears on WUS. I assume you all did so. Now, when you vote, you again have to type in your WUS nickname, I assume, you would use the same exact nickname you used when you registered.... And now comes the problem.... wait for it... ... ... ... I was wrong! Some of you submitted different nicknames!

For example:

completely different nickname
a nickname followed by space symbol (you simply pressed Space bar at the end of your nickname)
number instead of a dot
lower case instead of upper case
etc...

It took my an hour to find out why my formula doesn't work! (and I admit it took an hour also because I first had to check my spreadsheet formulas knowledge, to see if I do it correctly)

Please folks, pay attention to it. We decided to use Google spreadsheet in order to automate most of the things we do in order to save our time. Still the amount of time we need to put into this project is above what you would think (several hours a day - managing the process, replying to emails, PMs, replying on the forum etc...). So please save us from work that is not necessary...

I hope I am not too harsh on you... I don't want to mentor you all the time, but we need to sort this out before we continue...

And those who know they made a mistake, please don't apologize, don't come out saying that it was you, because next time, it can be somebody else... I'm not writing this to yank your chain... No need to do so... Just please all pay attention...

Thank you! :-!

Re: Vote Thread 1: The Overall Concept

Those on the waiting list definitely have voting rights! Most, if not all, of those on the waiting list will end up on the reservation list, so it's important that they be involved as well.

HOWEVER, if you were added to the waiting list after we had already started the voting process you'll have to wait until the next vote to participate. The reason for this has something to do with how the database works.

Re: Vote Thread 1: The Overall Concept

OK gentlemen, we are having some slight bumps on the road, but we can handle them with ease... :)

Last thirty or so hours to cast your vote so please do not hesitate and vote! We don't bite! :)

BTW, if I reply to your PM in a hurry, I may sound harsh, do not take it personally, it's just that there is too much of work sometimes. No offense meant on both sides, I hope:).

I believe our next vote will be as smooth as salesman's spiel, so get ready, pay attention to what you submit and most of all, have fun!

And to all of you who celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas, enjoy this special time with your beloved ones and be nice to each other! :)
