< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 453 OF 750 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jan-13-12    technical draw: Yes, Sir, <Colonel> no more debate. But I will vote for myself as handsomest kibitzer. Jan-13-12    Colonel Mortimer: Well there's no category for best tanned kibitzer - the self vote could be tempting there.

Jan-13-12    Blunderdome: It is possible to change my vote? I'd like to vote for <cro777> for most informed. Jan-13-12    WannaBe: <Blunderdome> Chessgames.com (-1), Cro777 +1, vote changed. Jan-13-12    WannaBe: <frogbert> one vote, counts a lot, look at Bush vs. Gore, especially when the winner gets to put their finger on 'the button'. Argument dismissed. <Colonel Mortimer> Yes, we are much more light-hearted here. Argument flawed. Jan-13-12    WannaBe: Hour left, One Hour left in today's voting! Jan-13-12    Colonel Mortimer: Seeing as this is your warren, I won't hold you to the more rigorous standards of the Rogoff page. Argument dismissed. Jan-13-12    frogbert: <Argument dismissed> in case you missed it, my point was the relative worth of one vote. anyway. let me try one more, wannabe: in the political elections it's expected and considered good form that every candidate votes for himself/herself or his/her party. in our context it makes very little sense and nearly nobody does it. except the funny guy, of course. Jan-13-12    WannaBe: <Colonel Mortimer> Perhaps the good sire would like to submit himself as Caissar host for next year. Show me some rigorous stands? We would be highly honoured for such opportunity. Jan-13-12    WannaBe: Quick update, with about 50 minutes left... <Best Informed> 9.3333 <tpstar>, 8.8333 <cro777>.

Jan-13-12    frogbert: for the record: td won "funniest kibitzer" by a huge margin, relatively speaking, so it should be assumed that any nitpicking about "self-voting" is mostly for fun and regardless entirely academical. :o) Jan-14-12    tpstar: <Best Informed> Thank you very much.
