For the films being voted off, I think go ahead and send them to me, that way it's more of a closed ballot, I've already finalized my first two lists and won't be changing them.
For the films being voted on, send your list to me, but what does everyone think about posting these lists or posting suggested movies the AFI may have overlooked or not considered? It's possible we could end up with two hundred and fifty different movies in this category if there is no consensus or discussion. But I imagine there will be enough overlap to give us a clear top twenty-five, regardless. Discussion is definitely open on this topic (as well on what films on the AFI list you think shouldn't be on ours).
For now I'm assuming we'll do all the stages with an inversely weighted system, for instance a film voted number 1 gets 100 points and a film voted 100 gets 1 point.
in stages one and two, a film ranked number 1 gets 25 points and a film ranked number 25 gets 1 point. In stage one, these are points against the film and the twenty five films with the highest totals will be voted off the list and into the stage three/four pool. In stage two these are points for a film and the twenty five films with the highest totals will be selected for the stage three/four pool.
In the twenty five voted off the list, order them so that number 1 as the least deserving, number twenty five being your highest ranked of the least deserving.
For me this means Birth of a Nation is #1 (so it gets twenty five points against it) and The Graduate is #25 (one point against it). The Graduate happened to be at number 76 in my ordering of the overall 100 and I took the bottom twenty-five to vote off.
