Yup, I sure did. I'm so used to using a 24 hour clock instead of Ante Meridian or Post Meridian that I automatically look at 08:00 at 08:00 in the morning rather than the evening. vOv Mea Culpa.

I think it's more to the point that the voters are split into two camps, each rooting for one major character. Using your down-vote on (e.g.) Shelly at this point, rather than on your favored character's opponent, works out to be almost the same as a vote against your favorite.

I held off voting against M as long as I could :( but MerchManDan threw down the gauntlet and I sorta felt I had to counter in kind.

ME?! :o What'd I do? I certainly don't feel good about voting down Kath yesterday. (well, Saturday, now. Shoot.)

Anyhow, looks like I missed Sunday, so here's my vote for Monday:

I understand. I am not thrilled about down-voting Katherine either. I suspect that both ladies would be horrified at either being preferred to the other and would probably try to give the crown away to their friend.

Personally, I'd rather have a choice of two votes: two up-votes, one up-vote and one down-vote, or two down-votes. Another alternative is to have one vote (up or down) and proceed from there. Isn't democracy grand in Wapsi land? :lol:

If we change the voting rules again, at this late stage of the game, it'll feel like playing 52 Pick-Up at midnight in a tornado :lol: And, of course, the sphinxes could show up, and override the results anyway. 8-)

No rule changes. End of this week, whomever is in the lead is the Queen of IC296.
