December 2011 challenge VOTE!

[Cobalt Frost]

Looks like we've got three excellent entries this month. For your voting consideration:

• "One Night On Terok Nor" (http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=154882) by Rush Limborg
• "Strong Enough Not To Regret" (http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=152881) by Gul Re'jal
• "(Not Quite) Home For The Holidays" (http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=155188) by Enterprise1981

Voting runs to 11pm US Eastern Standard Time on 2 January 2012. One vote each, no self voting please. In the event of a two-way tie, there will be a run-off vote; in case of a three-way tie, I will determine a winner by a suitably random method (I actually have three-sided dice). Any questions can be posted here or directed to me via PM.

Allons-y!

Please note, this is the REAL poll, as I accidentally set the wrong ending time in the other thread.

Voted!

 

[USS Fardell]

[jespah]

This was a difficult choice.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Voted. Both my competitors had great stories. Well done, to both.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Woah. Two votes apiece. Talk about stiff competition.

This...could prove interesting....

 

[Gul Re'jal]

There's always that three-sides dice

But I think I'm going to break the tie now

 

[jespah]

It remains a horse race ....

 

[Rush Limborg]

Hoo...boy....

 

[jespah]

Is there a provision for what happens if there's a tie or a three-way tie? You share the crown on alternate Thursdays, or something?

^Usually, if there's a two-way tie, there's a run-off poll.

The challenge runner presented the solutions in case of two-way or three-way tie in the first post

 

[jespah]

Ah, thanks - three-sided dice then.

 

[Sandoval]

All ties will be resolved via Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Oh...my...goodness.

Guess I'd better get cooking, then....

Thanks, everyone, for your votes!

 

[Gul Re'jal]

Congratulations, Rush! I knew a Garak story is a sure win!

 

[Cobalt Frost]

Congrats to Rush for his victory in the December challenge! Congrats also to Gul Re'jal and Enterprise 1981 for your superb entries! We had some really good reads this month.

 

[Rush Limborg]

Thank you both! And I agree--the competition was tough! Gul Re'jal and Enterprise1981 are both excellent writers--and were, as Worf would say, most worthy opponents.

Hey, congratulations!
