    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.

        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 —Bas Brederode
      Can anyone tell me why these 5 people havn't posted their ballots? If they're not intrested in the outcome of the contest, why bother!?! Should lazyness be rewarded?

          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.

        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). It wouldn't go -3 per se, but -1 as many times and in as many places as (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.contests)
