My voting was done when I read this... & I actually had 5 out of my 8 votes go to A thread.
So I felt to dispute it... but since I was in A group... I didn't want to indicate as if I was backing my own group... so I stayed quiet.
So for the sake of science... lets use
@ib313's handy chart here to see how the voting shook out.
- In the top 10, we have 5 from each group spread evenly through the top 10.
- There's 330 votes for thread A & 315 votes for Thread B in the top 10
- 10 - 20 we have 4 from B & 6 from A (7 if you count the tie for 20th place) & again are spread pretty evenly
- excluding the tie for 20th, There's 209 votes for thread A & 159 votes for thread B
- then A's & B's spread pretty even through the end.
So they're pretty even... but A actually nudges out B
Of course B did nab the top spot... & there's a pair of A's in 9th & 10th... so MAYBE... thread B could say to be of equal competition.
Due to the evidence presented here-in... I present the motion that neither group had far more competition than the other.
