    Deadline for Voting??? —Kyle D. Jackson
   G'day, What's the deadline for submitting the votes? There's no mention of one in the email ballot, and I can't find anything in this group or at the central site. Thanks to massive overtime, my car being in the garage, and then getting a flat (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests)
   
        Re: Deadline for Voting??? —Todd Lehman
   (...) Send 'em soon -- I'm swamped too with the holidays but the good side of that for you is that the votes haven't been tallied yet (I don't think they're all in yet either). I'll send out one final round of e-mail to the participants if there are (...) (24 years ago, 20-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests)

        Still missing ballots from 5 people —Todd Lehman
   Almost all the votes are in, but I still haven't received ballots from the following people: Jay Jacinto <manjingo@yahoo.com> (entry B2) Ashley Glennon <ashley.glennon@mindspring.com> (entries A3 & B7) Christopher Callahan <chriscal@microsoft.com> (...)

        Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I sent an email to Todd but on reflection I think that the questions I asked ought to be publicly asked. 1.

         Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Tony Hafner
      (...) I don't think this was covered in the rules either. I say that if there are disqualifications, we simply sack those entries and call winners from the remaining pool. It's taken what-- 3 weeks from the end of the contest already. I'm not (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)

          Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Ed T. Toton III
       Hahaha LOL... This thread is reminding me of certain other votes recently... I can see it now... "I want a recount!" "No! You can't change the rules after the election..."

        Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Todd Lehman
     (...) Y'know...this may be too drastic. The reason for the above rule was simply to make sure that someone couldn't indirectly vote for their own entries by not voting for someone others' entries. That is to say, because votes cannot be cast for (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.space)
    
         Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Kyle D. Jackson
     (...) I suppose it depends on which "election" your considering. For each category, if someone is trying to improve their own chances, but still votes, then they'll only cast the 1 mandatory vote in that category (because you can't vote for your own (...)

         Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Tony Hafner
      (...) No, the wily competitor would mail a small pile of landing plates to me. Then I'd favor his design with 20+ votes!

          Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Larry Pieniazek
      (...) This is an admirably baroque solution but I think the better one is just to pitch the entries of non voters and go next best vote count entry wins.

           Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Todd Lehman
       (...) Two came in since then. A third wrote back and said he was stuck on vacation far away in an icestorm with limited slow Internet access and wasn't going to be able to complete the ballot. Two people left and I'm not waiting much longer. --Todd (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests)

         Re: Still missing ballots from 5 people —Todd Lehman
     (...) Ya, you snipped the part about for each vote point you have learned, you either add 1 point to someone else's or subtract 1 point from your own (i.e., by not voting).
