Aren't you not allowed to subtract votes?
I brought Side Show's "Come Look at the Freaks" up to 4 votes, but then Mark_E subtracted to 3. The Wild Party's opening number also decreased. Next to Normal's "Just Another Day" disappeared from the list altogether-- in the matter of one post-- and it previously had two votes. Did you subtract 2 votes?
I think it may have happned with a few opening numbers. I would post a fixed list, but first I just want to make sure that the rules say we're not allowed to subtract. Confirm?
#59re: The Greatest Opening Number of All Time - The Bracket
Posted: 5/10/09 at 10:54amI don't think you can subtract, but what I think is happening is that people are not copying and pasting the most recent list.

Posted: 5/10/09 at 12:57pmHey, my votes disappeared too! I wouldn't make a big deal out of it, but my earlier vote would make 4 for "Another Opening" from Kiss Me Kate already. I also added "Oh What a Beautiful Morning" from Oklahoma.

Posted: 5/10/09 at 1:03pm"There You Are" should also have four now. It has three at the top of the page, then it goes down to two, and then back up to three again. Assuming that somebody copied a less recent list, the most recent vote should have taken it from three to four.

You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott
