Well, this tiebreaker has closed tied. What do we do? Shall I rescind my vote (for American Beauty)? Can someone that didn't vote here state which one they would have voted for?

Crimson Tide is by far the better film here.

Maybe get someone that didn't vote to cast their vote. And maybe in future tiebreaker polls have members state their vote like we've previously done in the past?

This particular poll doesn't actually show who has voted though. I don't think I voted in time, but I cannot say for sure - I know that there's still a load I need to vote on, as I have been away for over a week....

Sadly I don't know who voted, maybe only RF knows.

Let's get a neutral party in here to vote maybe?

There have been more than 22 votes cast in other polls, we just need to find at least one who didn't and state which way they would have voted, if they had to.

If not, flip a coin.

Flip a coin dude, we trust you. Whichever one of these advances, its all the same to me tbh.

Well of the people involved in this discussion now, we have a 4-2 edge for American Beauty. Does that work?

I prefer Crimson Tide, but that would still leave the vote 4-3 for AB. So go with AB.

The boss has spoken. American Beauty moves on and Crimson Tide is eliminated. In the future, let's avoid double ties, please :)

A suggestion for tie-breaking: assuming you can see when the votes came in, remove the most recent vote cast. This would be a bit like a retroactive "sudden death" approach. Just a thought.
