My prayers and blood sacrifices to the appropriate deities notwithstanding, voting for Round One has resulted in a small handful of tied scores, with which I'm not entirely certain how to proceed. What do you think?

Go into overtime. Additional poll for all ties; next stage can't start until there's a winner.

That's totally arbitrary and unfair. Let's do it.

I voted for sudden death, but would like to clarify what I was thinking: in sudden death, a first-round tie should be posted. Whoever votes first would break the tie.

(If you don't want the same person breaking all of the ties, you can space out the sudden-death polls... which, I realize, is more work for you...)

I actually really like this idea. It is absurdly arbitrary, but it still puts the hands of voters. Which is why I just changed my vote to "Option E" from "Sudden Death."

Option E: yendi decides.

What?

Yes!

That was a surprisingly tough choice. Sudden death makes it complicated; three-ways make it, um, complicated (must...keep...mind...from going...that way...); I'm not sure there'd be a truly independent third-party arbiter; and I've no suggestions either. Coin toss might be simplest and least painful.

Yes, I over-explicate. Please don't make me defenestrate.
