As long as you don't put the X's on the blank votes, you should be fine, the vote tallying software should view it the same as normal text (aka ignore it).

That or it may somehow count them as a different vote. We'll see how well it works when Ack next totals things up.

Spotted another problem, though: you haven't put any points in Meet the Heberts. :p
 
I'd like to remind everyone voting for Alea Iacta Est that they are essentially wasting their votes, as it's a shoe in to win this round and be reset already. :p

No, no, that's not how you spell Meet the Heberts at all! You seriously need to get your autocorrect checked. :p

It's not completely a waste. I, Panacea is a little ahead in terms of current votes, and only a little behind in terms of average votes per round. AIE is only projected to win by a 24-vote margin -- enough that a few people moving it to the bottom of their voting ranks could potentially let I, Panacea beat it this round.

Mind you, AIE would almost certainly win the next round after that -- the only other close competitor is War Games, and it's well behind -- but it would still be getting pushed back.
 
All Alone or Meet the Heberts? I'm going to go with All Alone.

That's why I kept it up top.

Which is, of course, the entire idea. You made a prediction, and I'm trying to be contrary and prove you wrong. :p

...

Now everyone just ignore this little byplay. Nothing going on behind the curtain, no sir, and certainly no need to waste your vote on Alea Iacta Est this round.

    • Thanks, as always, for voting.

    User Errors
    Meet the Hebert - 1: Snake/Eater - needs an 's', thanks.

    Please correct these in future.

    Thank you.

    I notice that there's a downtick in the number of votes and voting points that are coming in. I'm thinking that this is because I'm only taking two days for a turnaround. I'll see how the next chapter I write goes.

    On to the main event.


    Note that any BBcode at all around the vote will invalidate it. This includes quoting a previous vote, and applying font changes.

    But coming up fast is Alea Iacta Est, making 126 votes a round and a shoe-in to win Vote 63. Then we've got I, Panacea chugging along at 84 votes a round to win Vote 64, and newcomer War Games making a respectable 37 votes a round to finally score its first win in Vote 65.

    Well, I, Panacea beat out Alea Iacta Est for Vote 63 (by three points), but AIE looks like a favourite for Vote 64.


    After that ... well, we shall see what we shall see.

    Anyway, thanks again for voting, and I hope you enjoy reading the stories as much as I enjoy writing them.


    For anyone who hasn't voted on this thread before, the voting rules go as follows:

    1) UP TO six votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
    2) First vote is worth six points, second is worth five, and so on.
    3) You can't vote twice on the same story. First vote is the only one that counts. QQbot will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
    4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
    5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.

    Vote format looks like this:

    [X] Alea Iacta Est - 6
    [X] I, Panacea - 5
    [X] Security! - 4
    [X] Recoil - 3
    [X] Trump Card - 2
    [X] NSW - 1

    Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.
