[no country for old wainds]

[CiG]

Spending so much time and still not ranking the whole list, classic Phylibuster move.

 

[The Ozzman]

Turns out da mafs weren't so quick after all.

... but i could have sworn he was some kind of mafematical genius.

I finish for a week on Friday so I will get them done then.

We also need to stop confusing basic numeracy with actual maths . While I love maths, there’s absolutely nothing fun about adding up some numbers.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Sounds like we need to make the rules more convoluted.

If everyone would agree to use the same formatting and spelling, it’d be relatively easy to write a program to tally these shits up for us

It’s having the machine understand that MoP = Puppets = Master of Puppets that is a pain in the ass

Although, just going by band could work for many years

if I was doing it, would just throw all the lists in a text file and write an R program to create a data frame of the distinct albums and tally their scores. But there's too many ways to accomplish the same thing, and I have work to do

Another way would be for us to just take turns (not volunteering here lol)
