<p>No problem! But you can’t just fix one vote. You have to carry the whole thing forward. Andover is out based on voting. I’ll fix it.</p>

<p>Starting with PrepDD’s vote (last valid count) I added or subtracted all the votes that came after:</p>

<p>Resetting the list because Tonextyear used the wrong stats:</p>

<p>Choate-28
Exeter-16
Deerfield-14
Hotchkiss-13
Groton -12
SPS-10
St. Marks-9
Lville-7</p>

<p>Andover out with last vote.</p>

<p>(the above includes the numbers from the last two posts (Tonextyear and yellow22)</p>

<p>Andover out. Choate has double the point of its closest contender ? This game has zero credibility anymore. I know it is just a game, I am just putting that out there for prospective students. I think we should have given everyone only one vote period, this just skews the rankings to show who shouts the loudest. </p>

<p>ExieMIT, what are you talking about invalid votes? What makes you say they are invalid ?</p>

<p>Please post on each thread: EACH PERSON CAN ONLY VOTE ONCE A DAY.</p>

<p>Choate-28
Exeter-16
Deerfield-14
Hotchkiss-13
Groton -10
St. Marks-10
SPS-10
Lville-7</p>

<p>St. Mark’s + 1
Groton -2</p>

<p>I didn’t say “invalid” I meant the last “accurate” count was by “X” and then someone accidentally cloned a list from an older page and those “totals” were the wrong ones. (Like Taft being out - sniff, sniff - then being back on). Or Andover was out, then was back up to +6.</p>

<p>So I went back to the mistakes, got the right vote counts and then made sure that every person’s vote afterwards was included in the vote total. It’s a nerd thing. </p>

<p>But you’re right - it’s become a game of volume, not one of accuracy. If a lot of Taft weren’t in Europe right now we’d have had Hotchkiss out in the first round - lol!</p>

<p>It’s all good. I’m procrastinating. This is really a student game. Just couldn’t stop my nerdy math ways from coming in to correct mistakes.</p>

<p>I vote that we eliminate every school that accepted financially struggling students then told their parents they would get no FA. I consider that cruel and unusual punishment.</p>

<p>Everyone,</p>

<p>I have a better idea. Instead of playing this game, let’s answer the following question:</p>

<p>This ranking game is</p>

<p>A. ludicrous,
B. unreliable,
C. a waste of time, or
D. all of the above.</p>

<p>My selection is D. And I promise to vote only once.</p>

<p>the correct choice would be:
E. A distraction</p>

<p>I created this game a bit before March tenth for all those students who needed a distraction from freaking out about March tenth. Maybe you don’t want to play, but you don’t need to be rude. That post was meant to make others angry, and that is unconsiderate.</p>
