How the heck do you use MySQL to collate votes?

By going through this thread and recording the votes that are cast. This forms a permanent and checkable record this an easy means of querying statistics.

MySQL might be infallible, but what method did you use to record the votes? Something that is immune to typos and missed posts?


EDIT: Given that by your records Aji ended up one point lower than she should have and Splat was one point higher, it seems likely that you missed a single -Aji +Splat post.

I went through the thread and typed each vote into a cheap and cheerful HTML form. If you can find all such votes in the last round I'll happily compare them to those in the table.

How coincidental... all but two of those posts were you. Also, you +voted yourself once and thus should be disqualified from MSI.


Never underestimate the power of my anal retentive drive to win an argument

Except we're not having an argument, I'm just getting you to do some work for me.

You know, it's the darnedest thing. I noticed I'd plus-voted myself while I was recording the votes, but even then for the life of me I couldn't remember doing it, especially since I'd been following a don't-vote-for-myself rule.

EDIT: Got it, it was this one, and it happenend because as I was going through the votes I forgot I wasn't merely correcting the scores to account for Hobo's vote. If you'd kept the scores properly it wouldn't have happened.

When all else went for BM, I was discouraged, but when i saw you go after the tyrannical Mug, I became once more determined to witness his downfall.

Before anyone asks, 'Gelus illuminato' doesn't mean anything, it's just magical Latin gibberish. I just translates as 'Light ice' or 'Cold light' or something.
