After a 5-way tie, we have a 5-way runoff!
Pick one, this time around.

Might I suggest one vote per person and it will probably be broken?

Well, I won't pretend that I know that something fishy is going on, but it appears a little odd to me that this has happened.
I won't go any further than that, but I'm withdrawing my votes to break the tie.
If I may make a suggestion for future MOM selections?
I see no reason why we should be voting for 3 entrants in a field of 5.
Why not vote for your favorite and leave it at that?
If we are trying to be democratic about it, this is not the way to do it.
As it's structured now, if everyone voted for the same entrant as their third pick, that entrant would win the month, even though it was viewed as the third favorite by every voter.
Seems a little goofy to me.
But anyway.
At least for this month, barring anymore strange votes, you now should only need to deal with a 2 way tie.
EDIT. I guess I was too late, but If you would at least remove my build from the running Bucky, that will be good enough for me.

Hate to say it, but it feels like the model of the month is getting to be more of an administrative chore than fun.
Once you cast your votes, you can see the results on the web version of the forum. And I think you can even change your votes afterward. So I can understand Steve’s feeling above.

I don't want to cast any aspersions on anybody, but just as an example of this, the final person to vote knew that voting the way that he did was going to create a 5 way tie.
Just sayin'.

I don’t pay that close attention to it, but having immediate visibility to the results, and the ability to change your votes accordingly, seems like something to address.

I don't really pay that close of attention to it either, but I agree, it should be a hidden vote, and in my opinion, one vote for your favorite should be good enough.
At the very least, that would very likely eliminate most of these 5 way ties.
Either way, I'm probably done with it.
Maybe the best thing to do would be to have a moderator or site administrator just pick something to put on the front page every month like some other sites do.

The poll has been reset for a runoff vote. We had five fantastic entries this month, and all five deserved the votes they got, therefor none of the entries were removed. More members voting would help the situation with ties, but they do happen from time to time. MOPARS In Scale isn't the only forum to have tie votes on the MOM! LOL
Please don't let the way things worked out this month deter you from entering the beautiful models you guys are building.

I guess that I should apologize.
I didn't mean to insinuate that anything sinister was going on, but it sure seemed strange how things were moving along as one of these polls normally does, and then all of the sudden, a 5 way tie?
It just didn't seem like something that would happen during the normal course of things.
I do still believe that a hidden vote and only one vote per person makes a lot more sense.
It would absolutely eliminate the possibility of anything nefarious that "could" happen.
I think that all of the guys on this forum have more integrity than to doctor a vote for a friend or something of the like, but I would "EXPECT" it to happen on some of the other boards with greater traffic and a fairly substantial "clique" mentality.

I think we should go to just one vote and have it a hidden vote so no one sees the total until the voting is completed if that’s possible.
I will talk to Al about it tomorrow.
