Bump, because apparently voting by itself doesn't send the thread to the top.

I'll sticky it for the duration of the vote, and for 48 hours afterward.
Muchas gracias.

but I could only vote once, or does that count as 10?
You could select up to 10 entries, and hit the "Vote" button once. Hence 10 votes, or 6 votes, if you only selected six entries, etc.
I could modify the poll to "allow users to change their vote", if they made a mistake? I mean, it's not like people are gonna abuse it by continuously changing it back and forth (and even then, why bother)

yes, I drunkenly saw poll and not the fact i had 10 votes...
I'll do it if LMNO says it's okay, cause it's his post.
My first and best piece was left out. :sad:
ETA: Also, I just figured out that the best way to do well in these things is to produce the least amount of contributions, possible, so never mind.
Wait, did I forget to include the Old Man pic?

Yep.
:sad:
Too late now.
I, too, also only voted once instead of tence. Your "Afghan" style election process confused me. Doesn't really matter though, it was a well thought out vote.
Also, how the fuck is my "confessions" in 2nd? It's not even properly horrormirth (unless I've been doing horromirth wrong all along).

Because it was funny, but also horrific because many people actually go through vast portions of their lives thinking that way?
Only now I realize I should have included my "Nightmare Fuel" thread
We might be able to clear the way for some "honorable mentions."
Shit yeah, the Nightmare Fuel thread is good stuff.
Also this... its not a late entry, and most of you have probably seen it, but its pure horrormirth to me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRc4LkBRjIc (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRc4LkBRjIc)
Right you fuckers. I demand my wenches, hats full of gold,ancient mhadgiqualque talking sword and other prizes now!
(http://static.seekingalpha.com/wp-content/seekingalpha/images/angrycustomer.jpg)
Oh, and give Enrico something too I suppose. Flowers on his grave or some shit (he IS still dead, right?)
I have to remember to only put one entry in next time.
Yes. It's almost (but not quite) like you Nadered yourself.
I can give you one of the wenches and a hat full of gold if you want, but the sword is mine.

It's precisely what I did. I wasn't aware that there would be multiple ballots, or I would have restricted myself to one entry. Not pissed or anything. I'm only mildly upset, and only because the evil old man pic didn't make it in, and that was my favorite (I would have liked to see how it stacked up against my other stuff).
And I'll get my own wenches. Those East Coast women are a frail bunch, and would not survive the High Desert Yeti mating rituals.
Oh, and congrats to you and Hoops. Nicely played, sir.
Hold on, you guys. Payne might have gotten 11 votes, but TGRR got 41 total votes.
I'm going to have to speak with the judges about this.

Yes, LMNO, but the votes were on pieces, not on the authors.
Well, we'll just let Mr Merv Griffin make the final call.

Well, I will restate that I don't particularly think that the original post in Confessions is Horrormirth (though it is possible that the ensuing conversation, which ended up over like three threads may have been).
And, secret ballot or not, I used the one vote I thought I had to vote for the Napalm Canister pic, because that was perfect.
You know, you could always do what Hitler did: take advantage of momentarily high public opinion to get yourself into position as Chancellor of Horrormirth and seize total control. I could be your von Papen.

I wouldn't. I think the best way to do this in the future is to count the person's total votes (encourages more work), but that isn't how we set it up this time.
I played by the rules, and none of my pieces gained the most votes. By the rules, I lost, and I'm fine with that. Really.
What I want is for these things to be FUN, and to get people involved. That means a bunch more to me than winning any particular contest.
We all win, for all of the great content. So start sending us prizes alphapants!
Unstickied.
AWARDS TIME!
Thank you all for participating... In the near future, your writings may be compiled and used in a pamphlet for free distribution. If so, specific permission for use will be asked.
Without further ado...
