Firstly, the rules.

To place your vote, write "I vote" and the name of the person you're voting for. Try to keep chat to a minimum in this thread.

Only Regulars and existing Notables can vote, no newbies I'm afraid. Likewise, only Regulars can be voted for. You can't vote for yourself.

Votes will be accepted up to 11:59 pm tonight by the forum clock. Any votes after this time won't count.

Only one vote each. Anyone found to be voting under more than one account will have all their votes voided.

Edited posts won't count either. If you need to add/change something, make a new post.

Good luck. Voting starts... now!

I wouldn't trust the staffies not to fix it.

It's still just down to groups who talk to eachother voting people in, it's never going to be totally fair.

although what yesterdays result proved was last minute campaigning works a treat.

MM wouldn't have won if all the people who said they didn't vote for EB cause they thought he was going to win it easily had infact voted.

Mmm... The elections should be a hidden poll.

As in not viewable by public - viewable by staff though, obviously.

Or they could just edit all the votes and vote whoever they want notable.

(First time in a while I haven't even got one vote. I guess I'm doing something wrong...)
