# All years tallies contain one vote from a Reddit voter, in addition to all the Big Soccer voter votes

 

Yeah, I think it will be best for me if I wait until we have collected all the 2022 votes, and have the full set of votes updated early next year, before I do the task of showing who voted on which year.

If I had done it as we went along it would have been quicker but because I didn't it will be a bit more laborious I think, so maybe it makes sense to get it done ready for the 'final' (although probably voting remains open for new votes at that point anyway) summary in early 2023.

Actually, on old voter (one who gave votes for the 1950-2009 period or maybe a bit later too - I have to remind myself later)!

During the weeks of the World Cup I will get to work comparing Kochees old posts that we used to make a vote for him with his new ones anyway, to take account of whatever differences there are (for sure though if he only gave 3 names before which I think could be the case, as it was for some guys, then already the votes are improved as well as updated), and also of course adding on votes from him for later years (and when I get around to tallying up pre-1950 votes in the New Year we have a new set of those too now!).

 

I salute everyone! I'm not constant in my activity but, PDG 1978 is right. I participated in some previous elections. Probably today the situation is quite different. I don't know how it is with you, but I often revise my choices. And I'm not the happiest about it.... The next time they might find themselves here: Littbarski in 1982, Giresse in 1984, Van Basten in 1987, Stojković in 1989, Waddle in 1991, or let's say Drogba in 2012....

 

Yes, that's right you made some entries on the thread of couper99 I think (I think maybe it was top 5 per year actually but I will check like I said), and IceBlood was keen for us to incorporate old 'votes' like that, so I included those in the existing totals, but it is no problem to adjust the points to reflect where you have adjusted your choices anyway (I have been doing it when Titanlux makes his final revisions for example too).

You are one of the voters with the most 'complete' set of votes now anyway, I'm sure! Maybe even number 1 in that respect (for number of years/seasons voted on).
