[StreetCowboy]

^^ SC, did you notice that you are post # 666, is that ominous?

I trust no cows were hurt, or even mildly offended in the taking of that photo!

I think its a lot of bullocks

[BookMan]

The entire vote is going on so long I am concerned no one will make it... Candidates or voters

Steady on. I know some members here are pretty old, but hopefully they'll live to see in the new year.

I was thinking some might ask for a mercy killing

I can't tell if the storm on this thread is coming or going.

Nothing to see here. Just some voting and some polite discussions about the weather.

[villagefarang]

Here are a few of the fallen who didn't make it to the end.

oh crikey! It's an old fashioned slide show at Aunty Beryls house, circa 1975

Good to see you are NOT campaigning and NOT pandering VF. Good job!

You haven’t been paying attention or reading my blog. A thousand words is nothing, that is just the intro.

[villagefarang]

It has been a bit of a rough ride to this point but I think we will make it if we don't veer off course.

[villagefarang]

For now the road ahead looks good.

[Johnniey]

Afraid of losing to a woman? Up to you.

Trans don't give a feeeeeeeeeeerk about anything IF, again IF, poty admin is posting stuff against a contender...

Trans don't care, well , I tell a lie....I don't like back stabbing with a fun or any other topic....Admin..YOU......who doesn't like a poster should stay quiet...sit in the background...But you cannot...

If Trans came anywhere near the top it makes me happy, makes me think what l post helps folk on the forum...

Trans don't need and will feeerk off from a dodgy admin. Done it before and will do it again....

Please stop speaking in the third person, it make you look like an idiot.

Who chose these posters?

It was done very openly via nominations and then a runoff vote.

Where? It seems to me to be a little clique of posters on this sub-forum.

I was in Chiang Rai a couple of months back. Happened upon a cyclist and he insisted i stop and take his photograph.

Not sure of his name.

i thought it might be you Villagefarang? I know it's a long shot

To add to the suspense, I suggest that we put the candidate numbers up as soon as the finalists are decided, but only reveal their names half-way through voting. Perhaps we could reveal the names slowly, with cryptic clues based on quotes from their posts, and then narrow the numbers down to ... well, the opportunities are endless.

But I think what we've learnt from this phase of the voting is that you can easily go too long without changing the rules, and everyone appreciates a bit of unexpected drama and the occasional surprise.

The only change I have been thinking about is the TOP 5 structure for the Grand Finale. I think a case can be made for a smaller number but I don't intend to do that. Something for people to think about for next year. I think it would be unfair to change it for this year. Those who can see they are good or possibly good for the TOP 5 might feel "robbed" so I ain't gonna do it !

Prune them out, one by one;

first, the person with the lowest votes after two days

then, the person with the highest number of votes

and so on, in an entirely arbitrary and unpredictable fashion. THe public will love it - it will be like the wheel of fortune, but without the prizes.

Prune the person out with the highest votes?
Hmm.

Hmm.

You know you want to....
