The Final Vote
Adven | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:10 am     I was going to frame things by presenting an argument for why both Lori and Mak deserve your vote. I think, though, the fact Lori said she intended to keep posting "Adven Rules" indefinitely if need be in the last challenge and Mak planned to take her alarm clock to bed so she could continue posting on the hour, says all that needs to be said about how deserving both are. I am not going to drag this out any longer, so there will be no opportunity for the evictees to grill the finalists with bitter, pointed, vengeful questions. Mak has set up a "Reunion" thread for questions, post-game observations and the like, so, Reader, if you want to do your Susan Hawk thing, that's the place to go. Just remember to use the phrase "youze guys" a lot if you do. Nor will Lori and Mak be required to come and plead their case to the evicted judges. I think they've already done that by the outstanding effort each has put into the game. Finally, in addition to the 14 evicted players, I am extending an invitation to vote to both Ddr and Miss_Wings, two of my partners in crime. Also to Halfunit. She got four votes as an accomplice and was accused of being the person posting as "Mole" ( she was neither), so I figure she's perfect judge material. A few former players are MIA or don't post in the game threads regularly anymore and may not find out about the vote in time. I'd like to get as many votes in as possible, though, so if you are in contact with people like Tish, Rabbit, Bonny, Patichou, etc..., could you let them know their vote would be appreciated. Thanks. You have 24 hours to get in your vote. Choose wisely. As always, adven41@yahoo.ca |
Squaredsc | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:28 am     well this is it then. you shall have my vote by the deadline. |
Ddr1135 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:30 am     Oh Boy! Thanks Adven! |
Jan | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:40 am     Great job Adven. I've sent you my vote but it was a tough one. |
Bonnyswan | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:49 am     no need for anyone to contact me...after most of my posts werent acknowledged I just gave up posting about the game and quietly followed the game. Ill send my vote later. |
Jan | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:54 am     ((((((Bonny)))))) every one of us has felt that way at one time or another on this board. It's just the way and speed of posts sometimes. I learned a couple of years ago (after 2 years of feeling slighted) NEVER to take it personally because it is never personal! |
Adven | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:57 am     Thanks, Bonny. Sorry to hear your posts weren't acknowledged. That shirt-ripping one in my folder certainly got my attention, though. Had you pulled that earler, I'm sure Rabbit and Lance would have given you their undivided attention. |
Bonnyswan | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 09:07 am     My intention wasnt to start a conversation about this. I in no way want to bring any negativity to the game that has been so much fun for so many. Im sorry I brought it up, it was just me checking in so you knew I wasn't "MIA" |
Lancecrossfire | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 09:40 am     Adven--do you want only the name of the person we are voting for, or do you also want our reasoning? |
Adven | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 09:48 am     Some are just sending the vote and others are including an explanation, Lance. Either is fine. If enough people explain their vote, I may include a general summary of the voters reasoning - without mentioning names - when I post the results. |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 01:20 pm     Bonny, I probably saw your post but didn't think you wanted any response. Sorry. It wasn't intentional. |
Adven | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 03:20 pm     I have heard from roughly half of the eligible voters and it's close. Very close. How close you ask? Very. |
Zachsmom | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:13 pm     I will be home after 6pm board time. I will cast my vote then! |
Pamy | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:19 pm     .i am taking a risk posting this....i cant email ya til 730pm CA time, pls wait xxoxxooxoxo |
Zachsmom | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:21 pm     Hey Pamy!!!! Nothing more to add, just wanted to say "HI"  |
Rabbit | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 04:35 pm     Just out of curiosity, if this is a close vote, how many weeks will it take to determine who Twiggyish actually voted for and will Goddessatlaw be filing her briefs (cause I gotta load more film in my camera just in case)? |
Twiggyish | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 05:40 pm     ROFL!! I'll never tell. |
Pamy | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:38 pm     I voted, thanks for waiting!!!! |
Miss_Wings | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:50 pm     I voted, too! I think I am within the 24 hours. Just popped in, and I am very, very unhappy to see the game wrapping up. Will it be renewed? When is AGRA2? |
Mak1 | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 07:55 pm     It depends on the ratings, Miss_Wings, it's always about the ratings. |
Miss_Wings | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:28 pm     Well, with all of the panties with missing parts and bob, I did hear that certain groups were picketing. But I think that just served to drive the ratings up. |
Pamy | Friday, November 07, 2003 - 08:47 pm     LOL |
Adven | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 08:37 am     I've received 13 of the possible 17 votes, which is pretty amazing considering a few have only been marginally involved in the game. There are one or two others that I'd like to wait on. I'm out the door for a few hours now anyway, so I'm going to give them a little more time to find us and respond. I'll reveal the results when I return. |
Reader234 | Saturday, November 08, 2003 - 09:03 am     LOL Thank you adven for advising us on your every move. This does give us the opportunity to make the posts up to 3,000 tho... you did see Pardise Hotel, that reality show right? The winner said he was giving everyone a trip to Las Vegas... |
