A quick note that has been mentioned here and elsewhere, if you did not make it past take heart and watch for the Critique my Item Thread that will give you a chance to hear from the judges and fellow Pathfinder gurus.
Do the Judges provide feedback on the top 32 or are they likely to respond to those that request it?
I know in the past they gave their opinions on lots (if not all) of items but with the change to a vote I am interested to know their take on it.

I heard someone clam that there was another cull. (I had to get 1 last pun in.) If so, it doesn't appear very deep (not intended to be a pun). Around 75 items. I wonder if that means the voting is all over the place, and there were no clear lines in the sand (also unintended as a pun) for elimination. I expected 100+ items, based on the previous culls.

That's because Marathon Voter has a CL 9 minimum.

In an effort to avoid being too specific in the praise thread all I can say is 'armor' or 'weapon.' With wondrous items I can name a slot thanks to someone's wonderful work. I am wondering if anyone thought about breaking arms and armor into types. Would it be too difficult to add that information now? Is that information too specific to collect (since there are smaller numbers of arms & armor)?
Also would anyone other than me find it easier if the current column were a different color than the rest, or maybe hide the older columns?

Ah... so there has not been another cull? First year confusion here. :-D

Well...a suspicious lack of 72, at this moment.

I concur. Not to disparage any of the items that seem to have been hit by this stealth cull, but I tested this assumption by trying to think of a few items that I know had issues, in things like CL and aura, and the four I could come up with off the top of my head where notable in not being seen today. It's anecdotal, but after testing it and then going over the list in detail, I would bet good money we have been hit by a stealth cull late yesterday evening.

It's worth saying...if you believe in the stealth cull, and your item has not yet been seen don't give up hope yet.
If that purported cull were exactly the exact same percentage as Cull 3 there are still 9 items that are alive but unseen.
EDIT: Having said that, escalating percentages have been the rule. But there is a good chance there is at least one more item out there.

No new sightings in the past hour or so and we are sitting right at 80% of items seen today.
BTW, there's been one more item seen since then.
I wouldn't be stunned to see another 2 or 3 show up...but this is probably about it.

We've got stats for item types, and percentages culled and such. I'd love to see some similar stats on item cost vs items culled.
What's the sweet spot on the price scale is my question.
I was thinking something similar. Specifically, the cost of the items that made it into the top 32. Has it changed from year to year?

Nazard Marathon Voter Season 6, Dedicated Voter Season 7, Marathon Voter Season 8, Dedicated Voter Season 9 |

I have just seen an item currently marked as August 26, but I can't seem to update the spreadsheet!
Can somebody who has editing rights to the spreadsheet PM me?
Edit: Never mind, I reloaded it a couple times and now it works. Somebody gets a reprieve (but you probably shouldn't mention it right now).

So what's the group wisdom think here--if my item was confirmed as seen by a real life friend last night at 11:05 pm EST, but no sighting reported on the spreadsheet for today, am I probably culled, probably not culled, or "no way to know"?
I...honestly don't know. I think it is more likely than not that a cull would have happened sooner than that, but it's certainly conceivable it was done later.
If I were you I would be prepared to have been culled, but distract myself by working on a map for round 2.

The last word from Paizo was that a cull would probably happen around 2:00 pm PST (5:00 pm EST) yesterday. We don't know for sure, but there's a reasonable chance that an item seem late yesterday is still lurking somewhere, unseen by spreadsheet contributors.
