That's a fair concern, no matter where we're at now we started off with a certain plan, and to change that plan now isn't something to be taken lightly.
Vote Cocktail! Un-vote upright-cab...
GameOver:
I'd just like to point out I have last place LOCKED baby! Do I win anything for that? Maybe a free set of tokens? ;D

Because the second place may not be the groups first choice to complete the token. Let first place have side 1 and then vote for side two. There are enough votes to see where this is goings so the second poll would really just be a question as to whether the group wants a pixel/pixel or a pixel/troz. I don't think this poll can answer that question.
If something crazy were to happen with the voting and one of the lower vote styles flew to the top. I would want to vote again so that I could match the second side to the first. I acctually changed my vote for this very reason.

Not so fast! The guy with the steering wheel design has the same number of votes as you do ... oh wait... :-X

I am just bothered about changing the rules in the middle of the poll. If there are 2 winners , even if by a narrow margin, why would we not just use the winners? This sort of smacks of the Al Gore recount debacle. 'Mine lost by a narrow margin, so I want to count another way.'

See your point. I'm not trying to subvert the process, I'm just concerned that the 3 vote system we used may not provide the true "will of the people". In the Presidential race, we've got the primaries and then a real election. The reason for the primaries is to determine the real candidates, so that in the final election, folks get to choose between the guys that have the best chance of winning, instead of throwing the votes away on candidates that don't have a chance. Same thing applies here. We've currently got 49 votes spread over the obvious non-candidates, out of a total of 357 total votes. (119 voters x 3 votes = 357)
And then there's the possibillity of ending up with the wrong side1 / side2 combo. Some folks willy think that an all Pixel token looks consistent and see that as a good thing, while others will think that the two sides ought to come from different artists. If the current poll is the end of the process, you can't take into account which designs folks think go best with each other. A two-part run-off takes care of that.

Maybe. But then again, how many of the votes that are currently on non-contenders might go to Pixel's upright if given the chance? I dunno.

Anyway, that's my position. But I'm not blind to the fact that it's extra work, and may step on some toes. I won't be a crybaby if you decide not to do it. Whichever way it goes- Thanks, Dave, for all the hard work you put in on these, and sorry if I've just added to the headache. And I look forward to ordering, no matter how it comes out.
