A Poll to Ask Should We Run A Poll to find the Most Popular Posters by Country of All Time Poll

edited November 2017 in The Basics

Comments

  • A bit skewed on here with our 85% Australian base...
  • Um, I dunno about the other people here, but I have posters from the US, UK, Argentina, Belgium, Spain, Italy....am I misreading the poll?
  • Let's not have Country playoff at the end, that's where it'll get skewed.
  • Listen as you've all opted to ask me, my original thought was post your top 3 owned posters from the particular country in question.

    No competition, no play offs...just what you got that you really love from wherever...


    It's all getting too hard...and I still can't breathe!

  • Sorry to hear your still under the weather, Ves. I typically get a sinus infection about every  12-18 months and its just a miserable 7-14 days for me. Oh! the poll. Will vote when i have the time to figure out what it is i'm voting for!.... =)
  • Oh I thought is was what you liked not owned?
  • Well I am thinking you buy what you like no?
  • I'd like to buy a lot of posters but the wallet doesn't let me.
  • Ok so is it the best country or best poster in country categories?
  • Best poster in country category.

    I never thought of it as best poster but best poster by country eg Best Daybills, Best QUAD, Best US1SH and perhaps Best None English Poster (In case we can't get enough) etc, no playoff just as voted.

    It was an extension of what Ves has suggested, members can submit 1-2-3(?) posters they own and everyone/anyone can vote (we can call them in to vote from the FB groups). As it is a public poll one cannot vote for one's own poster (it is automatically assumed you would so technically the count is negated), so you get one vote for one other poster.

    It's all getting too hard...and I still can't breathe!


    Harden up...
  • I think this should be a poll about what we think is the best...not what we own.
  • Didn't we do this three years ago?  I still have Chris' trophy...  
  • I'm confused. David's original poll question doesn't say it has to be a poster we own.

    IMO, if we have a poll/contest in which we submit our own posters we should set limits as $ amounts. That way see really  who finds the best bargains  just a thought...,
  • Wow! I had a lot of energy back then... Went back and looked at the World Poster Tournament threads...  Ves with you being the head coordinator of the 2017 World Poster Tournament, I, as past coordinator of the 2015 World Poster Tournament, suggest that you make it simple.  We already have the country categories broken out and all you would need to do is create a new thread in each Country category.  Let's do this!  Ignore my previous vote.
  • Geez guys listen to Ves - you've made this way too complicated!   Just post your 3 fav that you own from specific countries and that's that. No voting/tournamenting needed...
  • That is the gist of my previous post...
  • This is why we ask Ves, and Chris as back up... =)

    Chris, you have a way of cutting through the baloney.... ;)
  • All y'all are weird....


  • All y'all are weird....



    spoken by the guy who collected several $100k of posters, and then sold them all, just so he could go collect the same ones all over again :)
  • Geez guys listen to Ves - you've made this way too complicated!   
    Isn't that the point of being in specialist forum, to over-complicate things

    Good grief!  Who'd of thought from a simple suggestion would come all this!

    My point was not whose was/is better.  It's which 3 are your favourite you have.  They could be butt ugly posters for all I care, or something that holds sentimentality.  For example, my Woman of Paris long daybill would be in my top 3 but it wouldn't win any beauty contests!

    I vaguely recall something about a tournament...let me go back and see what is what.  If you guys have done this already, we can skip it!

  • I say we just do it... I'll start a thread.
