Default Who wants to talk countif() tags?

So, Horn had the great idea of actually automating a bunch of tags around his countif(), mostly to show off his mad excel skillzors.
This of course sounded a lot more fun than my real job so I updated my (almost completely unused) countif() spreadsheet to have some of these additional tags. However, there are certainly a few different ways to mark it up. Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be most readable?

[ 1 ] amplify voted for Our House
[ 2 ] BobOjedaFan voted for KyrosMother
[ 0 ] Chuckleslovakian voted for BobOjedaFan
<font color="red"> [ 4 ] durron597 voted for sighing </font>
[ 2 ] fnord_too voted for Tokyo!!
[ 0 ] GetThere1Time voted for fnord_too
[ 0 ] Jonsan voted for fnord_too
[ 0 ] kyro voted for durron597
[ 1 ] KyrosMother voted for Shortline99
[ 0 ] Nicholasp27 voted for sighing
[ 1 ] Our House voted for durron597
[ 0 ] pudley4 voted for durron597
<font color="red"> [ 4 ] Shortline99 voted for durron597 </font>
[ 3 ] sighing voted for BobOjedaFan
[ 0 ] Thebram voted for Shortline99
[ 1 ] Tokyo!! voted for amplify
[ 0 ] traz voted for
[ 0 ] VoraciousReader voted for Shortline99
[ 0 ] wdcbooks voted for Shortline99
[ 0 ] WillMagic voted for sighing
[ 0 ] xorbie voted for

vs

[ 1 ] amplify voted for durron597
[ 2 ] BobOjedaFan voted for KyrosMother
[ 0 ] Chuckleslovakian voted for BobOjedaFan
<font color="red"> [ 5 ] durron597 </font> voted for sighing
[ 2 ] fnord_too voted for Tokyo!!
[ 0 ] GetThere1Time voted for fnord_too
[ 0 ] Jonsan voted for fnord_too
[ 0 ] kyro voted for durron597
[ 1 ] KyrosMother voted for durron597
[ 0 ] Nicholasp27 voted for sighing
[ 0 ] Our House voted for durron597
[ 0 ] pudley4 voted for durron597
<font color="brown"> [ 4 ] Shortline99 </font> voted for durron597
[ 3 ] sighing voted for BobOjedaFan
[ 0 ] Thebram voted for durron597
[ 1 ] Tokyo!! voted for amplify
[ 0 ] traz voted for
[ 0 ] VoraciousReader voted for Shortline99
[ 0 ] wdcbooks voted for durron597
[ 0 ] WillMagic voted for sighing
[ 0 ] xorbie voted for

Or even:

[ 1 ] amplify voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 2 ] BobOjedaFan voted for KyrosMother
[ 0 ] Chuckleslovakian voted for BobOjedaFan
[ 6 ] <font color="red"> durron597 </font> voted for sighing
[ 4 ] <font color="brown"> fnord_too </font> voted for Tokyo!!
[ 0 ] GetThere1Time voted for <font color="brown"> fnord_too </font>
[ 0 ] Jonsan voted for <font color="brown"> fnord_too </font>
[ 0 ] kyro voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 1 ] KyrosMother voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 0 ] Nicholasp27 voted for sighing
[ 0 ] Our House voted for <font color="brown"> fnord_too </font>
[ 0 ] pudley4 voted for <font color="brown"> fnord_too </font>
[ 1 ] Shortline99 voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 3 ] sighing voted for BobOjedaFan
[ 0 ] Thebram voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 1 ] Tokyo!! voted for amplify
[ 0 ] traz voted for
[ 0 ] VoraciousReader voted for Shortline99
[ 0 ] wdcbooks voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 0 ] WillMagic voted for sighing
[ 0 ] xorbie voted for

Or mix and match tags as you like.
Who knows, if I end up liking my countif() spreadsheet enough maybe I'll mod more.
Ideas? Comments? Snide remarks on how uninteresting this topic is to you?

I hate the italics. the last is best by far. also the brown/purple/whatever you're using for second place is barely distinguishable from black.

Default Re: Who wants to talk countif() tags?

Should the vote count number be colored as well? Any thoughts on what the #1 and #2 colors should be? I stole them straight up from Horn's posts.
On a side note, this has given me a chance to play around with the board's tags as well. I might actually learn how this stuff works at some point.

Default Re: Who wants to talk countif() tags?

And soah with the win. It's not a game, but you win.
Last tweak for now: colorize the vote total or no? For comparison (and how this all looks on 9 players):

[ 1 ] amplify voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 1 ] BobOjedaFan voted for fnord_too
[ 0 ] Chuckleslovakian voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 3 ] <font color="red"> durron597 </font> voted for <font color="blue"> GetThere1Time </font>
[ 1 ] fnord_too voted for kyro
[ 2 ] <font color="blue"> GetThere1Time </font> voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 0 ] Jonsan voted for <font color="blue"> GetThere1Time </font>
[ 1 ] kyro voted for amplify
[ 0 ] KyrosMother voted for BobOjedaFan

or

[ 1 ] amplify voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 1 ] BobOjedaFan voted for fnord_too
[ 0 ] Chuckleslovakian voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
<font color="red">[ 3 ] durron597 </font> voted for <font color="blue"> GetThere1Time </font>
[ 1 ] fnord_too voted for kyro
<font color="blue">[ 2 ] GetThere1Time </font> voted for <font color="red"> durron597 </font>
[ 0 ] Jonsan voted for <font color="blue"> GetThere1Time </font>
[ 1 ] kyro voted for amplify
[ 0 ] KyrosMother voted for BobOjedaFan

I'll worry about how ties should look later.
