Subject: Voting Thread For ABC3 (M) - ***** results posted *****

Written By: Stuart McArthur on 12/06/06 at 11:35 pm

Welcome to the
ABC3 (M)
Voting Thread



Voting deadline for ABC3(M) is midnight (amiright time)     Wednesday December 20th
No votes date-stamped after the voting deadline will be accepted - no exceptions



Vote by replying to this thread with your five favorites in order:

1st choice........5 points
2nd place.........4 points
3rd place..........3 points
4th place..........2 points
5th place..........1 point

or in algebraic terms, p = 6 - r     (p=points, r=rank)



RULES
- Any parody beginning with the current letter is eligible, except parodies that have been entered into ABC1 or ABC2
- You're not allowed to vote for your own parody
- Once you've posted a vote, you're not allowed to change it
- Anyone who's participated in any previous ABC contest may vote
- Any entrant who hasn't left a comment on all entries is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter
- Any entrant who doesn't vote by the voting deadline (above) is disqualified and may not participate in the next letter



ALSO
Under no circumstances will a vote that missed the voting deadline be accepted (even by 1 second)
However the resulting disqualification from entry to the next ABC3 comp may be over-ruled, if you do the following...

   1.  Post an "appeal" on this thread giving your excuse for missing the deadline, and plead for mercy
   2.  If your plea wins the sympathy of 3 other entrants your disqualification from the next round will be overturned
        Your late votes will still not count though 
        (if less than 4 entrants in the comp, only 2 sympathetic "Thumbs Ups" are required)



And the entries are.........

My OS link doesn't work  ....



crikey! - quick on the upshot, JD!

No, I realised that as soon as I posted.  (Normally I preview first, but I clicked Post by mistake)

I've made that and other adjustments, so hopefully everything's true and in order.

Charnstar - post an appeal within 24 hours if you like - after that I'll just delete the entry - sorry mate :(

Congratulations Stu & Red, and my thanks to everybody who voted for my FAR-TOO-SILLY parody!  ;D


McArthur's smart -- he's smelting winsome art

All his genius-writing's glowing now

Song-fun deftly breaks out in his brain

I don't think that I can break him

'Cause he cooks such awesome bacon

And I'll never catch that parody freight-train

Oh, no!

ha, only just saw this, thanks to the comments page - thanks JD - scoring 6 "5-votes" and not winning was very unlucky for you, especially given the quality of YOUR bacon, and the sheer rampaging force of YOUR parody freight-train ;)
