< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 17 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-12-13    jepflast: Hm... vote for myself to get sole possession of 2nd place? I don't like doing it, but this was my year. Widespread acceptance of the Tree and its first win, and the commentary on the Team Game that alone took a couple of weeks, not to mention analysis for both Challenges.. if I don't win anything this year, it just wasn't meant to be. No apologies.. Most Constructive: vote <jepflast> and <hms123>, my friend who is very constructive and who didn't vote for himself. Jan-12-13    WannaBe: Remember, tomorrow is rest day. Jan-13-13    Phony Benoni: Don't you mean West Day? Jan-13-13    The Caissars: The automated software shows numbers that are just a wee bit too close to call right now! We will do a hand-count to confirm the software count and then report the winners. Thanks for your patience. Jan-13-13    The Caissars: OK, the envelope please.... <Rrrrrrrrrrrrip> The 2012 Caissar for Funniest Poster goes to <technical draw> (edging out WannaBe who deserves an honorable mention to say the least.) The 2012 Caissar for Most Constructive goes by a landslide to "All Bistro Biographers Collectively", dwarfing second place yet quite deserving jepflast. Congratulations to the winners, and everybody really. Today is a break day. We'll begin voting again tomorrow on the 14th. See you then! Jan-13-13    WannaBe: Congratulations to <technical draw> (yet again)! I know I nominated the group doing the work in the Biographers Bistro, but at the last minute, I changed my mind to <tpstar>, because I thought Best Historian would be a better vote/choice. Jan-13-13    Phony Benoni: OK, somebody has to come to the podium and accept on behalf of <All Bistro Biographers Collectively>. I should emphasize that I don't speak for the group. However, since I seem to be the only one logged in at the moment, you're stuck with me. We're taking a lot of pleasure from this work, and receiving public recognition and praise makes it even more worthwhile. More than 325 historical tournament pages have been created so far, and more will come as we continue to collect information. First of all, thanks to <Daniel Freeman> and the rest of the <chessgames.com> staff for giving us this opportunity. A special note for the <CG Librarian>, who must be seeing our correction slips in her sleep but keeps plugging away. Also, thanks are due to our many friends around the world who chime in with tidbits that help make the historical tournament pages complete. If you'd like to chip in, you can take this wish list as a starting point: Game Collection: Historical Tournaments 3: To be Updated If you can supply missing information, we will update the games and push another tournament through. Hmmph. Some acceptance speech. It's turned into a plug and a plea. But don't they all? Jan-13-13    Check It Out: I counted 8 votes for <technical draw> and 7 votes for <WannaBe> for funniest poster. <WannaBe>, you're going to have to step up your game this year. Jan-13-13    Golden Executive: <The 2012 Caissar for Most Constructive goes by a landslide to "All Bistro Biographers Collectively", dwarfing second place yet quite deserving jepflast.> I counted 5.5 votes for "All Bistro Biographers Collectively" and 4.5 for <jepflast>. Certainly not a landslide IMHO. Jan-13-13    HeMateMe: <Phony Benoni:> well done, historians! 325 pages is a lot of work. P.S. Thank you for not thanking your agent or Mom. Those crass hollywood types are beneath chessplayers. Jan-13-13    TheFocus: 325 for 2012. Let's get to 1,000 in 2013!! But don't anyone nominate the Podunk Chess Club Winter Classic. Jan-13-13    Golden Executive: <Phony Benoni:...We're taking a lot of pleasure from this work, and receiving public recognition and praise makes it even more worthwhile. More than 325 historical tournament pages have been created so far> And certainly this is a great accomplishment, congratulations to <All Bistro Biographers Collectively>. Jan-13-13    morfishine: Pardon my ignorance, what or who are the 'Bistro Biographers' ? Jan-13-13    OhioChessFan: <January 14: Voting for 7 & 8 Best Profile / Best Analysis on January 14th only. > I have to protest. It's unfair to only consider analysis done one day of the year. Jan-13-13    SwitchingQuylthulg: <morfishine> The members responsible for all the player biographies and the new Historical Tournaments feature, besides helping the Librarian with minor game fixes. You can find their headquarters at the Biographer Bistro :) Jan-13-13    WannaBe: <morfishine> you can also edit/configure your personalized links on CG. I have the Bistro on my links to ease of access Read more about it: ChessGames.com Premium Membership article #10. Jan-13-13    morfishine: Thanks <SwitchingQuylthulg> & <WannaBe> I was searching for 'Bistro Biographer' when I needed to search for 'Biographer Bistro' Jan-13-13    Thanh Phan: Extended thanks and congrats to the <All Bistro Biographers Collectively> community, have attempted to find some info before about what you people search for, your resources exceed mine by far. For Best Profile I vote for <jessicafischerqueen> and for Best Analysis I vote for <Eyal> Jan-13-13    Check It Out: <Thanh Phan> Too early. Repost tomorrow to have your vote counted. Jan-13-13    Blunderdome: I nominated <Thanh Phan> for Best Profile on 1/8. It's right above Annie K.'s last update. Jan-14-13    WinKing: I vote for <Domdaniel> Best Profile. I split my vote <Ceri> .5 & <DcGentle> .5 for Best Analysis Jan-14-13    jepflast: Best Profile: vote <Benzol> Jan-14-13    jepflast: Best analysis: vote <lost in space> Jan-14-13    Check It Out: I vote <Benzol> best profile.
