ENTMOOT POSTERS OF THE YEAR AWARDS

Tommorrow is the last day of voting and to give everyone who hasn't voted yet an extended chance the last votes have to be cast by 23.58, or 11.58 pm, Pacific Standard Time, i.e. when the it's 11.58 pm in San Fransisco.

So last time of voting for the 'western-most' Mooters,

11.58 pm Pacific Standard Time, Saturday 28th

For the rest of the world, that means the time will be pushed into Sunday the 1st of March, and the voting must be finished by:

02.58 am Eastern Standard Time, Sunday, 1st of March
07.58 am Greenwich Mean Time, Sunday, 1st of March
08.58 am Central European Time, Sundary, 1st of March
4.58 pm Japan Standard Time, Sunday, 1st of March


VOTE people!! 10 awards, 10 votes, give your voice

On Sunday night sometime (European) the Awards will be announced! There may even be run-offs if two or more peope are tied

The Award Ceremony() will be pushed to a later date, perhaps as far back as the 31st of March since close to half of the Awards have ties between two or more Mooters.

In the meantime the voting will be open

This is the list of voters so far accounted for. Can't find your name on the list? Well then that means one thing.. that you haven't voted and so go ahead and VOTE!

Name of Mooters whom have Voted (alphabetical):
Acalewia
Coffeehouse
Count Comfect
EĂ€rniel
Faramir Captain of Gondor
Grey_Wolf
Hectorberlioz
Jonathan
Klatukatt
Lief Erikson
Nautipus
The_Last_Sane_Person

My great wish is that this list will have to be updated with new Entmoot Voters! Make it come true!

So what? We ended up with not one, but two Entmoot presidents when there was a tie between the top candidates

Why not just post the results and let people share some awards?

Hehe well at least you could complete the Awards-list you already made Hector! I see there are a few empty spaces (and some of the one's you've left out need a tie-breaker you know)

The thought crossed my mind, but with an extended window of voting there's also the chance that there are more who participate and so the vote's gets better representation

If by the 31st of March there are still tie-breakers those who tie for first place can share the Award in all its glory

Until then the suspense is everywhere! Who will win!?

I am deeply, deeply honoured. My thanks to all who voted for me. I'd be happy to share my honour with Coffeehouse if we could just see the DATA and know that there wasn't any rounding effect. I also note that there is no confidence interval for the awarded percentages. Who exactly were the UN observers to certify that this election was properly done? What statistical methods were employed? Why or why not were there weights assigned to various responses?

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE WINNERS, Ya'll !!!!

Quite right, quite right! *Toasts*

Uh.. UN observers.. what UN observers..... *blink blink*...... We in the Posters of the Year Award 2008-2009 Committee of Voting Coordination, Organization and Oversight, or PYACVCOO, were told that the UN observers were.. uh... shot.. I mean stalled

Thus to ensure an impartial result I.. I mean uh... we, invited the honoroable Py-ong Yang-Hu-Hei-Ho from democratic North Korea, Sheik Osama Bon Garden from fair and free Saudi Arabia, and Amhad Din Jihad of the great nation of Iran to enforce...... I mean.. observe the election results

Questions?

Well, Coffeehouse, with such an elite team of enforc....observers, we'll just have to let the data say whatever it is the...you said they said!

Couldn't get Fidel or Raoul, huh?

I.. uh.. we tried but the written response from Honorable Fidel and Raul Castro was, quote:
"Salutations anti-comrade,

Your organisation has asked us to enforce a competition that is nothing but a bourgeoise-infested, perverted anti-socialist and greedy capitalist manifestation! Comrade Stalin would have turned in his grave in disgust!!

...


We have no fuel for our little Castro airplane.. Sorry can't come!

Regards,
Fidel and Raul
"
