< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 71 OF 89 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-18-16    offramp: I vote for <WannaBe> as FUNNIEST POSTER. I vote for <Penguincw> as MOST CONSTRUCTIVE. Jan-18-16    juan31: I vote for <Technical Draw> Funniest Poster I vote for < Golden Executive> Most Constructive Jan-18-16    Karposian: I vote for <TheFocus> as FUNNIEST POSTER. I vote for <WinKing> as MOST CONSTRUCTIVE. Jan-18-16    TheFocus: <The Caissars> <TheFocus: <The Caissars> How about telling us how <Party Animal> won Best Avatar? Seems like you should explain that.> <I'm sorry, are you saying that we need a recount? By my count Party Animal won by a single vote, beating YouRang 5 to 4.> You counted wrong as has been shown already. Admit you made a mistake and announce <YouRang> as the rightful winner. Do what is fair and right. Jan-18-16    The Caissars: You are correct, we did a recount and now realize that we actually made two counting errors. YouRang is certainly the winner, 4-3. Apologies for the errors. Jan-18-16    TheFocus: Thank you <The Caissars>. That was much appreciated. Jan-18-16    Annie K.: I vote for <WannaBe> for Funniest Poster. I vote for <YouRang> for Most Constructive, in recognition of all the years he ran the prediction contest. :) Jan-18-16    YouRang: Thanks to the voters and to <The Caissars> for the <best avatar> award. It shall adorn the "glorious achievements" section of my profile, along with the other two (in 2005 an 2015). If avatars could blush, mine would be blushing now. Since the voters here obviously have a fine sense of art appreciation, I thought they might also appreciate the following piece of musical art, featuring the great Lurch himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKO... Jan-18-16    YouRang: Votes: I vote <WannaBe> for funniest. I vote <Golden Executive> for most constructive (in view of his keeping the prediction contest going). (But thank you <Annie K.> :-) Jan-18-16    Aurora: I vote for <WannaBe> as FUNNIEST POSTER. I vote for <Annie K.> as MOST CONSTRUCTIVE. Jan-18-16    tpstar: I vote for <WannaBe> as Funniest Poster. I vote for <Annie K.> as Most Constructive. Jan-18-16    MissScarlett: <I vote for <TheFocus> as FUNNIEST POSTER.> Huh? On MLK Day, the only award he deserves is Most Plagiaristic. I'm intending to vote for <diceman> as Funniest Poster, but I'll wait until tomorrow to do so. Jan-18-16    TheFocus: <MissScarlett> <I vote for <TheFocus> as FUNNIEST POSTER.> <Huh? On MLK Day, the only award he deserves is Most Plagiaristic.> What have I plagiarized? Do you know the meaning of the word? Jan-18-16    Party Animal: I vote for <TheFocus> as Funniest Kibitzer. I vote for <Annie K.> for Most Constructive. Jan-18-16    Party Animal: How can somebody win three times for the same bastard award??? That's just cronyism. Jan-18-16    hms123: I vote for <WannaBe> as Funniest Poster. I vote for <Annie K.> as Most Constructive. Jan-18-16    chancho: My vote goes to <Golden Executive> for Most Constructive. I vote for <WannaBe> in the Funniest Poster category. Jan-18-16    WinKing: My votes for Funniest & Constructive: I vote for <WannaBe> as Funniest Poster. I vote for <Golden Executive> as Most Constructive. Jan-18-16    valiant: I vote for <YouRang> for most constructive. Jan-18-16    Deus Ex Alekhina: I vote for <The Focus> as FUNNIEST POSTER. I vote for <You Rang> as Most CONSTRUCTIVE. BTW, JFQ's vote was disqualified because of time stamp, but, if she is still in Korea, that is across the International Date Line! Let's get some legal advice. Jan-18-16    zanzibar: Votes: <diceman> as funniest. <AnnieK> as most constructive. Maybe Annie should get her cat a hardhat? Jan-19-16    jessicafischerqueen: <Deus Ex Alekhina> That's most kind of you to point out, but my error occurred simply because I've been busy at work, and hadn't actually looked at what day the actual voting started. We are indeed on a different day! Part of the day, anyways. But for the life of me I can never remember if I'm a day behind or a day ahead. I'd google it, but I only have time for a finite number of "clicks" per day, and I've been doing important research on hamster recipes. Hard to keep up with these Korean trends sometimes. Good luck to all the remaining candidates! Jan-19-16    The Caissars: OK, we triple counted this just to make sure — <Annie K.> tied <Golden Executive> (6 to 6) to share the prestigious 2015 MOST CONSTRUCTIVE MEMBER award. Not the first time to this rodeo, that wascally wabbit <WannaBe> takes the 2015 FUNNIEST POSTER award. Congratulations! Today is a *rest day* and votes do not count! Tomorrow voting will continue. Jan-19-16    The Caissars: A procedural note: this post <MissScarlett: <I vote for <TheFocus> as FUNNIEST POSTER.> Huh? On MLK Day, the only award he deserves is Most Plagiaristic.> This post really should be counted as a vote for TheFocus, lest we bend the rules again. Inadvertently she posted exactly what the rules say constitute a vote, in spite that being the opposite of her intention. I'm glad it didn't matter in the outcome, lest we'd be caught again between following rules to the letter or doing what seems right. Just thought I'd mention this. Jan-19-16    TheFocus: <The Caissars> Then <MissScarlett> would have had egg on her face. Congratulations to <WannaBe> for Funniest Poster. And also to <Annie K.> and <Golden Executive>!!
