While we have little data from this year, the room ballot provides a breadth of historical comparison. Some rooms time has proven worthwhile, others not. But will the votes, follow the facts? 2017 First Ten Picks2018 First Ten Picks

Beldam 51? Really? All of college, Benet, Botolph heck even Newnham and you pick the hole that is Beldam? Is it the long lease? The ensuite? Or do you want a cold, dark bleak room to keep true to the cold, dark, bleak cambridge experience?
On the bright side it leaves better rooms for people with taste later in the ballot. Oh no wait, Alex Franklin is next. Never mind. Pelican't Exclusive: Slow News Day to End All Slow News Days "Could be cause of VP breakdown"7/3/2018 The recent psychological demise of "formerly affable VP" Jacob Bradley has been put down by some to "The slowest start to a room ballot ever recorded". As yet another thesp drags the pace of selection down to the drawling meander of a HSPSer stumbling through to their first pre-noon picket, one question is on the (frothing) lips of all:
To whom it may concern, with specific reference to the current editors of this page,
I made you. I gave you life. This page came from me, and from my own did I give you. You are nothing without me. Respect the laws I set out for you. Keep the room ballot holy. Yours, as you are mine, The One True VP. It seems that the power of the room ballot has gone to the head of our otherwise affable VP. Slow users, beware. He knows where you live.It is tricky being an engling. A lecture a week and the occasional supo can really knock the socks off a person. Now is not the time to sleep in, however, Zoe. As the esteemed Fetty Wap notes in his seminal 'Wake up':
When you wake up in the mornin', ayy Mom's yellin' in your room Like can I get 5 more minutes? Shit, I ain't really trippin' over school Let's get Wiz Khalifa high and Get meditated over medicated Hong Vu. Why are you taking so long to pick a room? My gran is 86 and she can operate a computer faster than this (bless her soul).It seems that order has been restored following the excitement of Damien's questionable and potentially drug-induced move to Botolph 18. N1 has gone to Sam Brown, who we had on good authority to be looking at Y staircase; I can hear Lottie Paterson hissing from Newnham. The slow and painful disembowelling of Y staircase has begun, but I reiterate that it is slow and painful, because it is now 9.39 and we are still on the 5th ballot. For those who did not read the Pelicant's room ballot guide, don't make Corpus wait.
In a curious turn of events, it appears Damien has chosen ballot night (of all nights!) to get seriously turnt on Bob Marley's good stuff. Nothing else but a near-fatal stroke could have caused a top-of-the-ballot student to pick Botolph 18.
Undoubtedly not a first for Damien...
