2014 Poster Awards

[Rocopurr]

You have less than a day left to vote, so start wrapping it up.

[Rocopurr]

I forgot about this, sorry! I'll begin counting up the votes sometime today and the winners will either be announced today or tomorrow. Thank you all for your patience.

[Furry Alairia and Algeria]

Quite late.

[Dyakovo]

Quite late.

And why is someone I've never seen before nominating me?
Quite suspicious, if you ask me...

Maybe you've been talked bout too much.
Either that or he ruvs you.

Someone's got a secret admirer.

Someone's got a secret admirer.

And thus begins my jealousy for Dyakovo and their secret admirer.

I feel so special now...

Crap. Sorry.

Maybe someday they'll hold a telethon to help.

Who would host it though?

Could We get Hugh Laurie?

you're not going to show the tallies like last year?

[Yumyumsuppertime]

Well, this was both unexpected and gratifying. Thank you to all who voted. I'm not sure of the protocol, here. Do I thank my mother? My agent? Do I pay the ballot box stuffers upfront, or in installments?

You thank your mother's agent, and it's customary to pay the ballot box staffers in a lump sum.

They did that? Oh. No, I'm too damn lazy and busy for that.

Does stares decisis apply on NSG?

I think there's a few common law examples of previous contests where the tallies were disclosed. I think that to ensure a standard for procedural fairness the tallies should be revealed and disclosed. Otherwise, there is no way we could double-check the counting or ensure that the vote counting was truly accurate, fair, and unbiased. As a decision-maker and SOLE representative of this administrative tribunal for the 2014 Poster Awards, I think you have undertaken a few responsibilities that go with it no?

The public on NSG needs to have confidence in the democratic system no?

I mean, you ARE counting up the votes right? If not, then no wonder it is very difficult to disclose the tallies for everyone nominated. If you ARE counting, then why is it difficult? Surely you already have notes?

How do you know they didn't lie about the tallies?

I'll see what others say, but I'm not going to cater to a single person's desires. If you are the only one who thinks I'm being unfair, biased, or whatever then so be it.

The reason I haven't disclosed tallies so far is that I didn't count up the people who only got like one or two votes. After scanning what I wrote down I crossed their names off and tallied the people who got a noteworthy amount of votes. And, as I've said numerous times, I'm lazy :P

if the tallies are disclosed, then there is a basis for some people to challenge the decision more readily if they feel that standards of procedural fairness were not met

it also provides a more colourful and complete picture

It's the difference between ONLY knowing Germany won against Argentina vs knowing the score of the winning game.

Tally it yourself if you want to. I'm not going to disclose tallies unless I get more requests to do so. I'd be happy to snap pictures of my notes for it if you want proof.

The awards are meaningless, so what would be the point of challenging?
I'll clue you in on something: you didn't win because no-one likes you.
