After four days of voting, the rate of new votes being cast has slowed significantly. In the main event, Will Beback has succeeded in narrowing the gap somewhat, with 50 points to Fæ's 60 -- but can he close it before all the votes are cast? Can his thrust to become the supreme WP:DICK spurt at the last minute, or will he lose his election?
In other events, it looks like Will's Retinue has the edge in the Tag-Team match, with the Article Rescue Squadron, the FAC Cabal, and the Ultra-Zionists all tied for second place. For Miss Incongeniality, it is still WebHamster by a nose. For Vexatious Litigant, Ottava is straining to catch Will Beback but Will still looks safe to win that one. Alison has a comfortable lead for Straight Shooter, as does Peter Damian in the Cojones contest.
The real cliff-hanger race ought to be the TL;DR event, which has been a neck-and-neck battle between Ottava and Newyorkbrad, where NYB has just pulled into the lead with 24 votes. Somehow, because of the nature of the competition, it doesn't seem all that exciting.
My guess is that voting will close early next week, depending on the volume of votes cast this weekend. To paraphrase General Douglas MacArthur in his message to the Philippines, rise and vote!

There hasn't been a dramatic change in the standings of our contestants over the past 24 hours, so rather than deliver a blow-by-blow account, I'd like to say a few words about sportsmanship. I think it tells you something important about Life when you see Fæ and Will Beback, while locked in a competition for this pageant's most prestigious award, nonetheless acting as comrades-in-arms out there on the great battlefield of Wikipedia. I refer, of course, to Will's attempt to delete the RfC on Fæ. After all, what is really more important: personal recognition at an awards pageant, or keeping Wikipedia forever free as a platform for the dissemination of defamation and porn? |

Not just porn, don't forget the gay porn. Very important.
I wonder if this book should have a "Mafias" chapter. Gay mafia, anti-LaRouche mafia, anti-Scientology mafia, Jewish mafia (and Palestinian mafia now), objectivism mafia, etc. etc.

In the final days of voting, there are some contests which are still up for grabs. Our own Ottava is now making a bid for supremacy in two categories: the always exciting TL;DR event, where he has pulled into the lead with 27 votes to Newyorkbrad's 26; and Vexatious Litigant match, where he is breathing down Will Beback's neck with 23 votes to Will's 24. There's nothing like a home court advantage! And a recent acquisition to the WR stable, WebHamster, still leads the Miss Incongeniality race, although no one should count out Baseball Bugs or last year's winner, Ottava. Those last straggling members of the Academy who have not yet voted will make all the difference in these three contests.
