Lets be honest here, if we were asked to design a new diver it would have different hands, date elsewhere, 120 click bezel, new bezel, 3 straps and an automatic helium release valve. But we are not, its just a colour variation so lets get on with a simpler voting system and pick 3 before we run out of time.

could'nt of put it better my self.

Its got to be different to the all the other Tridents on sale.

It might!

This thread was set up to discuss the voting system. It has shifted into an anxious conversation on when it will happen.

There have been some suggestions, but no response so far to my last suggestion.....
Kip wrote:Mass email is not likely....I can't do it and Hans doesn't like them....too many complaints from those that consider it spamming. Perhaps when the project is ready to reserve.

As far as the grouping the polls by dial colors...I think that would work....but.......If there are more than 10 in a category such as black dials for instance, this creates a problem. Also many good ones could be eliminated and some not so good could slip through.

You may have given me a solution though...... I can post many polls with a group size of up to 10 by dial color. If a dial color has more than 10, I would put it randomly into another group.

The problem is I cannot limit the overall total votes per member at 10. I can only restrict the individual polls.

If we vote on the honor system, with a limit of 10 votes overall, this would work.
What do you think of this method? Can we all be trusted to vote for only 10? Or should we take our chances with the 2 from each group?

Even with voting for only 10 we may need another round if the votes are spread to thin, which is a likely occurance.

Kip,

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that I don't think that an 'honour' system is going to work this time, especially with the comments re the FLE 2011 Committee that were made by some of the newer members.

PS This is my 2c, yours might buy more, it might not.

I reckon the honour system might work. We are given ten votes and cast one vote for each of the variants? Can we cast all our ten votes for one variant? Can I trade my votes? No scrub that. 8)

So honour system it is then. How will you stop the spammers sneaking in and causing chaos?

I undertake to vote strictly in accordance with the rules.

I think Kip's suggestion will work.

As a incentive perhaps we should say that in the event of voting irregularities no LE will be made! :lol:

As I've posted on the other discussion, let's allow Kip the time to close the post, collate and prepare the suggestions and organise a vote properly.

You're all aware of the expression 'fail to prepare and prepare to fail' , well, that's what will happen if we charge at this yelling 'Vote Now"

A couple more days won't kill and could be much better spent by some if they put the same energy into making the 'ultimate' colour scheme, the one scheme to rule them all :D
