SPEECH! SPEECH!

Called in favor of Chip #12. Congrats boondocker! Stank1000 called it and FL70 verified the vote, so that's good enough for me. It won according to the stated rulse, so we can't change in mid-course here. However, maybe we should reaccess the "call criteria" going forward as voting has increased quite a bit.

Chip #20 time of death 10:30am PST June 2, 2006.

70/30 or 60/40 are already considerable margins. I think it does make sense to increase the size of the population to those percentages according to the total number of votes that are being received during a complete polling session. Good idea, Stank.

Gotta be careful about ballot box stuffing, though. The early voters are usually (not always) the ones who are most interested in this process and probably the ones who are going to buy these chips. I know logistically people will have conflicts that don't allow for an early vote, but I think that is the exception rather than the rule.

A loss is a loss.
I'd rather lose by 1 or 2 votes and congrats to the victor. Congrats to you, btw.

As soon as you are all done and we get to the finals, I'm going to submit a write in candidate

My new ASM chips should be here any day now hopefully before the finals of this contest or I'm screwed. I figured that no one was looking at all my nice chip designs previously in this competition, so I just went and designed my own through the ASM group buy and will submit actual finished chips this time instead of the mockups.

Now all I need is for them to arrive in time for the final voting...

Oh, and good job boon...

[boondocker96]

Alright, well as if you couldnt tell already, Im super-psyched to be in finals!

I REALLY appreciate all of your support.

Cant wait to see how this all turns out.
