Jan-10-13    YouRang: My voting: Best Avatar: <frogbert> Best Username: <Phony Benoni> (Despite appearances, I'm really not a shill for the Muppets) Jan-10-13    bubuli55: I vote for < SwitchingQuylthulg > for best username and < wordfunph > for best avatar :) Jan-10-13    chancho: I cast my vote for <Phony Benoni> for best user name. Jan-10-13    Sneaky: I vote for <TheFocus> for best avatar. (It's *exactly* how I feel when somebody plays an unexpected move against me.) I vote for <checkmateyourmove> as the best username. Jan-10-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: I vote <technical draw> for best avatar and <Phony Benoni> for best username. Can't help wondering what <BishopofBlunder> thinks about all the support for <Blunderdome> in the username category, having used it as his forum name since well before User: Blunderdome joined this site :) Jan-10-13    technical draw: I vote for best username: <SwitchingQuylthulg> I vote for best avatar: <Annie K.> Jan-10-13    Diademas: My voting: Best Username: <Phony Benoni> Best Avatar: <Phony Benoni> (.5) and <Sneaky> (.5) Jan-10-13    The Caissars: We put up our list of nominations for tomorrow's voting (Most Helpful and Best Post). As you should know, these are not open for voting yet, but we wanted them online to double-check before the procedure begins at midnight server time. Please let us know if you find that we overlooked a nomination or included one accidentally. NOTES: We did not take the "?" nomination seriously for Most Helpful. We did permit "Softpaw" to be nominated for Best Post even though no specific post was cited. We included the "Parbrahman" for Best Post even though the nomination was oddly worded. If anybody disagrees with these decisions please state your case now or forever hold your peace. Thanks! Jan-10-13    Annie K.: <cg>, oops, pardon me, I mean <The Caissars> ;) - well, I didn't count the <AylerKupp> post, not because it wasn't a serious nomination, although it probably wasn't, but because it's from 2011. Agree on '?' being beside the point and missing the mark, too. ;s Jan-10-13    tpstar: I vote for <LoveThatJoker> for Best Username. I vote for <Annie K.> for Best Avatar. ***** I disagree with the <Parbrahman> nomination as that post is from 2013. Jan-10-13    Annie K.: Ah - missed that one. Doc is right. :) Jan-10-13    Annie K.: <The Caissars> going over my file, it seems <frogbert>, <Meloncio> and <Travis Bickle> were also nominated for the Most Helpful category. And <al wazir> was nominated for Best Post for Kenneth Rogoff. PS - nobody here is capable of forever holding their peace, regardless. Just sayin'. ;p Jan-10-13    chesstoplay: TY for all the work being done for the awards!! I vote for < Alien Math > for best username. I vote for < parmetd > for best avatar. :) Jan-10-13    magnifico: <Our official list of nominees for categories 1 & 2 are above. If we have forgotten anybody please let us know before midnight.> they're <annie k>'s summary and not official plus biased and prejudicial. You said you're gonna monitor this contest personally...it seems you've reneged on your commitment and rode on a balloon full of hot air. A hoax this is what your show is all about...like the 2011 world blitz championship...it's a pampering spree where the best candidates are relegated to the background and the the elo feeding frenzy left at the hands of discriminating organizers (i.e. annie k in this case) Jan-10-13    WannaBe: Feel free to not participate, you can stage a boycott in protest. Jan-10-13    frogbert: <going over my file, it seems <frogbert>, <Meloncio> and <Travis Bickle> were also nominated for the Most Helpful category.> thanks, annie k - i was just about to point that out myself, when i noticed you were already on the ball. :o) Jan-10-13    magnifico: < If anybody disagrees with these decisions please state your case now or forever hold your peace. Thanks!> You've required all nominations be enclosed in <> and accompanied by "nominate" or "nomination" ... to enable a complete search yet this was not done at the expense of excluding those who casted their ballots but was discriminated upon by <annie k>. You should have not promised something which you can not deliver. Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 89) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 11 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing>
