it's unclear to me what you mean by "in a league totally irrelevant to", but if you mean the models from each hemishpere would be better served having their own poll (a poll for latin-american models and a poll for USUKEU models), then that makes sense to me, though i think it would be impractical now this poll has been set up in such detail
that said, as the scenes i have bought this year have been almost exclusively those by lat-am models, and almost none of them are represented on the shortlist (eg lenis diamond and daniela garcia) i don't have anyone to vote for. the only model on the list i have seen any scenes by this year is vivian lola, a fine model indeed but not among my 'favourites' for the year, so a voting there would not be representative of my view
ultimately i think the 'best performer of 2024' in this instance can only apply with the huge caveat 'from this very short shortlist'.
beyond that strictly limited definition, it can't be considered representative of performers and performances on the site this year as a whole.
i think reinventing it or updating it with new models at this late stage would be impossible techincally (polls only allow so many options) and would only complicate results, as many members have already voted, so the pool of potential votes for new additions would be unfairly limited
but by way of a workaround to address this limitation, i proposed this 'oscars' idea a few weeks ago which seemed to be appreciated in principle, which would give members a way to 'vote' (informally, in a non-poll way) for models not represented on this list. and it will also expand the 'best' category beyond models to cover categories like 'best' (or 'favourite') scene of the year, studio of the year, so on
the format will not be a poll but a simple suggestion of categories (best this, best that) from which members can include or leave out categories that don't apply to their personal case or tastes.
and rather than be competative, the broader purpose would be for members to share their 2024 favourites lists with images to illustrate their choices, to show support for those models/studios and to (hopefully) introduce members to models and scenes from the year they may have missed (and so might want to catch up with)
so a different agenda and a different format from this poll (whose aims i appreciate), and one that should serve to fill in gaps left unaddressed by this poll (so everyone can vote for something they like in either one place or the other)
my intention is for it to run from the week before christmas (dec 15th ish) until new year, as that is when (most) people will be at home and when the forum is likely to be most active. and this also keeps the door open to include christmas/new year scenes released by studios that members may want to include in their oscar choices
anyone here up for the idea of an AVLP end of year Oscars?
