Only 10 days left! If you want to make a difference (or just up your voter title), time is running out!
Falalalal La la la!
Fingers in ears, closed eyes, sings along.
Maybe we should break out the Robbie Burns as the clock runs down...
But please, God, not time stop, and especially not mythic time stop. :)

What about greater mythic time stop? ;P

Great, now I'm going to sit in a corner and cast modify memory to get rid of that thought.
Sit in the corner AND VOTE, I mean.
Oh dear, my infinity has died, I am now reduced to voting via mythically awful 3G >.<
Oh, right.
6!
I wonder how much the voting in the last few days actually matters.

I doubt it matters very much, although somewhere Vic mentioned in the last day or two that there were still pairings that had not actually been voted on. I don't think it is necessary for us to open every last achievements, but we do seem to be completionists here.
Yeah, for simplicity, lets say there are exactly 1000 items.
You have 1000 ways of picking the left item leaving 999 possible picks for the right.
Hell, let's just say 1,000,000 pairings to keep the maths simple...
Now I think it was said about 17% of possible pairs haven't been seen yet, that's 170,000, meaning we have, as a collective seen, 830,000 pairings.
Now I think we should divide this by 2, as we don't want to double count when the pairs appear as A B and then B A, so that's around 415,000 unique pairs.
Which means that we, as a voting collective, allowing for some small percentage of duplicated pairings between us have voted in all likelihood for well over half a million total votes.
Which could mean, if we say that the average vote per person is (for simplicity again) 500 votes, we have a 1,000+ voting public.
Wow!

I had a similar question -- how much shuffling of the order is done in the last few days of voting?

We will never know, since they will never release any sort of item ranking (a philosophy I fully support). However, if I had access to the raw data, I know I'd have a graph with (with just under a thousand lines ;) indicating the relative position of each item, either by time or by number of votes. I bet they have something pretty darn similar.
I'll point out that if they do have any such thing, they could publish the unlabeled graph (which would be fascinating itself) as a JPEG without really compromising the anonymity of items :)
Come to think of it, I could probably generate something like that for my votes - if I'd kept track of which item I'd voted for each of the 1045 times I've voted so far.
But I didn't :)

Ooooh, what about trendlines that showed the relative ranking of an object as graphed vs time, so we could see exactly at what point an item being mentioned in the "Bonkers" thread led to a certain item theme dropping in the ranks! Then we could do some Causation vs Correlation analyses... I LOVE IT.
I'd also like to see the end results of my rankings to determine if I allowed any loops in voting patterns that nullified my overall votes.
Sorry, I made myself stop voting the other day, which has left me too much time to wonder about how public voting has affected our public voting.
3!
days until the Top 32 are announced & for which I am much more excited! :)
Nicely played!
And days until the Top 32 are announced (keeping up the countdown to the really important part).
days until the Top 32 are announced.
Why does that remind me of the Conan soundtrack?
(Yes, I know it is Also Sprach Zarathustra, but still, Conan imagery pops to mind.)
CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES!!
Half a day remains for voting!
Only 3 hours and 40 minutes remain!
days until the Top 32 are announced!
I had a nightmare last night where we had to start all over again because there was a glitch in the system. NOOOOO!!! Then I woke up. Thank Cayden Cailean.
You mean like the best 20 or so were somehow mixed into the bottom 25% in the Cull? Yeah, had that dream myself.
You might be a champion voter if ....

Yeah, and here I thought Desna was my friend too. It was horrible.
Just more hours!
... and I'm still just a star voter. Desna knows, I've logged my hours in here voting.

Here's the thing—I saw only a couple of items that made me go WOW! out of 5000+ votes. It made me a) more confident in my own entry even with its now (to me at least) glaring errors and b) seriously wonder where all the Superstar items were. I only found about 40 items (my own included) that I really considered good. Of them, there were maybe four I considered Superstar. It really made me wonder if something had gone wrong with the Cull.
Oh, and I'm still voting. Not stopping until the (very) bitter end.
Are we able to start discussing items once voting ends?

You're going to want to wait a week. Anonymity should be kept until the judges have decided on the Top 32.

I'm going to be pretty angry if I am still "Dedicated" when this is over and still have not seen Andrew's item. I figure I must be near Marathon by just...3 more hours sigh

@Feros
I was just thinking about that this morning on my way to work. I have seen probably 35-40 items I really liked and probably 8-10 that wowed me. I would like to think my own item is in the 35-40 group and HOPE that it's in the top 32.
Of course, maybe I have no idea at all what is Superstar.
