DO NOT VOTE until you read the following blurbs.Welcome, members of the Academy! For those newcomers who have registered during the past year, we invite you to read this history of the pageant and its hallowed traditions. The categories in which Wikipedia admins and peons will compete are the following: WP:DICK of Distinction, for the most appallingly corrupt performance as an Admin The Tag-Team eventMiss Incongeniality, for the most colorful and persistent violations of WP:CIVILThe Straight Shooter award, for honest admins Cojones de latón, for non-admins who have displayed wit and valor in combat with the Cabal The winner of the grand sweepstakes WP:DICK of Distinction honors will take home this magnificent memento, which we like to call "The Jimbo®": Now, please bear with us as we explain the unnecessarily complex voting procedures:For the WP:DICK contestants, each member of the academy may cast votes for both DICK and Runner-Up (a condition which is said to respond well to traditional antibiotics.) The DICK vote counts as 2 points, while the Runner-Up counts as one. Thus, each voter has 3 points total to distribute among the contestants. Academy members may award all three points to one contestant by voting for him or her in both categories, or split the points between two contestants. Points will be tallied from the two categories, and the contestant with the most points wins, with the 2nd Place going to the contestant with the next highest point total. Got it? The same formula used to apply to the Straight Shooter and Cojones de latón categories, but this year the Program and Catering Committee was demanding overtime pay, so we scrapped that and all categories other than DICK will be simply one vote per category. Ready... set... VOTE! Electioneering within 100 feet of the polling place is encouraged, so feel free to post a paean to your candidate of choice, extolling his or her exquisite qualifications and achievements

QUOTE(Herschelkrustofsky @ Sun 10th January 2010, 2:16pm) The winner of the grand sweepstakes WP:DICK of Distinction honors will take home this magnificent memento, which we like to call "The Jimbo®": The winners also are encouraged to accept their awards while walking the red carpet to the strip-tease beat of [Hey,] Big Spender, preferably as covered by somebody singing like Shirley Bassey. And WR lyrics which are inevitable: Hey, Big WankerThe moment you post on the board, We can see you are a Dick of Distinctionâ„¢ (A real big wanker) A tag-team hits “undoâ€. O, if you could only know What happ’nin’ on The Review!
So wait while we get your Award, We don’t hand this out to all admins we see! Hey, Reverter! Tag this edit diff "RV... V..V..V…"

In the first day of voting, David Gerard has taken a commanding lead in the coveted DICK position (which may be for the best, because Somey has been on the case of the Program and Catering Committee about cost overruns for the pageant, and this way we may be able to re-use last year's cyber-engraved Jimbo® trophy.) In fact, based on early returns, it looks pretty much like a re-run of last year's voting: Gerard also leads the Miss Incongeniality event (although Cirt and Chillum are giving him a run for his money,) Cla68 has a firm grip on the Cojones, and in the Straight Shooter competition Thatcher has a narrow advantage over 2008 victor Alison. Due to the ever-shifting alliances of convenience at Wikipedia, the Tag-Team Event often holds the most surprises, but this year, the comeback team of SlimVirgin and Will Beback looks like the favorite. All that being said, there are still many members of the Academy who have not yet dipped their avatars in the purple, so dark horses may emerge in any of these competitions. Stay tuned.

QUOTE(Herschelkrustofsky @ Sun 10th January 2010, 11:48pm) I would like to announce my decision to vote for Alison for Straight Shooter.
Hey, arent you the returning officer? Shouldnt you make an effort to try to appear to be impartial? QUOTE(Herschelkrustofsky @ Mon 11th January 2010, 3:03pm) dark horses may emerge in any of these competitions.

QUOTE(thekohser @ Tue 12th January 2010, 4:30pm) Only because I'm stuck alphabetically at the bottom of the list, and Charles gets his big, fat "C" name up there near the top.
It's RIGGED!
I gotta say the definite article seems a bit presumptuous—you know, calling yourself the kohser as if there could not be more than one. You could change it to a kohser and achieve a position slightly above that of a nobody. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif) And yeah I know, you'd have to add a space or make sure Hersch uses some kind of "smart" lexi-sorting.

As a matter of interest are candidates allowed to vote? And if so should we insist that they vote for themselves in the Dick category? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(Peter%20Damian @ Thu 14th January 2010, 10:44am) I haven't voted yet.
Hurry up please!

All persons holding accounts at the Review are entitled to vote. 2. That's a matter of personal conscience. --the Program and Catering CommitteeHoly crap! FT2 has once again squeaked ahead of Wild Bill in the DICK Runner-Up position. And Chillum et al takes the lead for Miss Incongeniality. Cla68 is hangin' in there with the Cojones.
