To BB, please change your votes to a total of three people. Or not if you've moved on from this thread.... Half votes won't be counted, so with your current choices, neither Guin nor RB will get credit for a vote.

I agree with your 'team vote' btw, but both RB and Guin could easily get a lot of whole votes for reasons other than refugee assistance.

I pass my votes to RB, who did all the real work.

Could you please substitute my name for hers?

What does that mean? Are you trying to drive me nuts? Is this a conspiracy? And you seem to be saying that any vote for RB should have your name substituted?

You get three votes. You can't vote for anyone more than once (unless you cheat). That also means that you can't 'pass your votes' to anyone. That would be dishonest, disgusting and is like telling people that their votes didn't count and would allow you to vote even more than 3 or 6 (cheating) times.

If these illogical requests keep coming, I might have to start handing out penalties....

Have a(nother) glass of Dom Perignon and rethink your voting strategy.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

S'OK Bill. Two worthy votes there and I'm ignoring the third. This is not the end. It is only the beginning of the end and we have only just begun to tantrum.

Thanks to whomever voted for me; having at least one vote that wasn't cast by me is better than winning the Powerball! :mrgreen:

(Okay, I'd rather have won the Powerball - and I would have shared with all of you, even if I hadn't been elected Plan B Person of the Year - honestly! 8-) )

I vote for RB for speeding the transition of the le Chat folks, and for keeping Plan B running. And for Daisy and Gob for similar reasons -- for creating and running Plan B. Losing Dennis and Tess has just underscored how and why we value having this place around.

Just to be clear to everyone that needs things to be clearer to them, the above random quote that I took randomly would result in the following result:

One vote for Reality Bytes
One vote for wesw
One hope that he voted for Guinevere in the poll at the top of the page or she gets no vote from him.

Now pardon me while I go back to 24 hour monitoring of this thread....

I was wondering about that — and I'm sure I wasn't the only one wondering.  Thanks for clearing that up.  I believe that it has been completely clarified and we need wonder no longer.
Now, please excuse me while I return to the poll at the top of the page and cast (Scout's honor!) one single solitary vote for Guinevere.

Honestly, my role in this is absolutely minimal.

Maybe we should vote Gwenvita the Plan B Person Of The Year, since she was the one who served as the catalyst for this board's creation... 8-)

while I appreciate the mentions (and I really loved the hitler crack..., no vote for joe!!! :) ), my impact may have been more negative than positive so I can t , in good conscience, vote for myself.

first vote- jim..., because when trump wins jim will need a pick me up.....

2nd vote- oldr..., just cause I like him...


3rd vote- trump!

count them or don t...., whatever.....
