It appeared to just be a list of posters. I didn't really understand it.

Omg are we all DEAD

 

[Jark]

It appeared to just be a list of posters. I didn't really understand it.

It was nothing to do with the tagged list of posters as explained in the rules, you can use your Resurrection vote once per round to give a song you didn't send through a shot at a second chance. It will need 3 votes in total to appear again in a future round.

 

[dUb]

I think Jark left that blank for us to all pick one song that lost? And then tagged everyone underneath so it looks like the two are related?

I can't cope with this, I'm not in MENSA

Resurrection - Fight For This Love

 

[Jark]

@Superstylin' you can't resurrect a song which already got your actual vote

 

[ZenGiraffe]

@Jark

...@Jark liked the post but didn't answer the question...

I'll go rogue and vote anyway soon.

 

[Pingu]

I think it’s quite clear that NOBODY has a clue how this resurrection thing works.

 

[SDF]

don't worry beb, EXPUNGED due to her recent homophobic shame! a relief to the other girls NO DOUBT, as Bad Boys would've stormed the ENTIRE SHEBANG

thank you hun, until the Jancellation it is x

 

[Tisch]

It took me ten minutes to work out why/where I’d been tagged.

SAME

 

[Tisch]

When's this running to? Can I do it tomorrow. I'm in bed watching Friends

 

[Jark]

yes you can hun! 7pm deadline

 

[Superstylin']

@Superstylin' you can't resurrect a song which already got your actual vote

Haha Well that wasn’t made explicitly clear in your rules on page one, and I’m not the only one who’s done that since @VoR has voted pocket full of sunshine.

The way I took it is was that we are nominating one of our choices to have a second chance if they lose the head to head. Why would I want to resurrect a song i didn’t want to send to round 2 in the first place ‍

 

[Jark]

no, you're nominating the one song you weren't able to choose due to it being an impossible head to head in which you wanted both through

Resurrection: Fight For This Love

 

[D5K]

- At the end of each round, you have one RESURRECTION vote - if any song receives 3 or more resurrection votes, it will be added back into the mix for a future voting round (within stage 1 - not qualifying automatically for stage 2).

This wording makes it sound like you can give your resurrection vote to any song - so surely we can then give it to songs we've already chosen, just to give them another chance in case they're eliminated?

Edit: sorry I missed that this exact discussion was happening as I was voting.

We have 25 sets of votes so far I'll bring the deadline forward to 6pm.

So far there's one true SHOCK RESULT (in my opinion), one TIE (where @Ag refused to vote), two more instances of just one vote separating winner from loser, one more race which is still tight enough to go either way, and two instances of the losing song having just 16% of the vote.

One song has qualified for a resurrection, but it currently doesn't need it. However this is an extremely tight race so it may well cash in that card eventually.

more votes please!
