NEW AND IMPROVED!
Please read this entire post before casting your vote.ADVISORY: Vote threads are open to all who wish to participate and cast their votes, spoilers and non-spoilers alike. The posts initiating these threads contain no spoiler information other than perhaps referencing what has been revealed in TV promos for the upcoming episode. Non-spoilers, be advised that spoilers may include information in their posts here which you may not wish to read. Spoilers, please do not include spoiler information for future episodes, stick to the episode in question.
The Rules
1. Put the name of your choice for this week's boot in the subject heading.
This is easy, just erase the bit where it says "Re: SurvivorBlowsTribe, Time to Vote..." and replace with your vote, e.g., "Dan." Or, if you think this will be a two-boot week: "Dan and Jud." It doesn't matter which order you put them in unless it matters to you.
This makes it easier to tally votes quickly and accurately. Nicknames are tougher to tally unless they are really obvious without actually reading your post. Other things you want to vote on (who wins what challenge, who gets first confessional, what the monkeys say), these should go in your post not in your subject line.
2. Reply only to this post.
We like a nice straight vote thread around here.
EXCEPTION TO RULE 2! VOTE CHANGES!2b. But to change your vote reply to your own post.
Your new post heading should read, for example, "VOTE CHANGE: Marty." Or perhaps "VOTE CHANGE: Marty and Benry" if you think it will be a two-boot week.
3. This is not a discussion thread, do not treat it as such.
There are plenty of places on the forum to debate the merits of people's arguments, have discussions, have civil and polite disagreements, don't do it here.
But please feel free to discuss your vote in your own post, cast all the extra votes you want, we're all interested in what you have to say.
4. No graphics, particularly no sig pics.
If you must have a graphic make it pertinent to something. Thank you.
5. Have fun!
That's why you're here, right!
6. Absentee Ballots.
Alright, friends, this is why I asked you up top to read this entire post. I'm going to be trying something new this week, letting people vote without actually posting on this thread. How it will work, and why this is happening, is something you will want to know. For one thing, I do want any comments you may have on this subject, please post them. Now, please keep reading, but if you were going to go ahead and vote the regular way go ahead and do that.
I will be posting in the Fanatics Forum instructions on how to vote absentee, I mean basically just send me your vote via PM and when I have time I will post it here. Pretty simple, but work for me, and maybe in future weeks some of you can volunteer to handle these chores, I'll be happy to let you go ahead and do that. Seriously, less work for me, not a problem.
Why am I doing this? These threads used to be a lot more fun, be a lot more interesting, and I'd like to see them get that way again. It isn't just voting that's fun, posting what you want to say, it's also reading what others have to say. We've been losing that as many of our friends, for whatever their reasons, are just avoiding these threads. This isn't the only way to try and get them back, another way would be to change how voting is done, no more voting in the subject line. Comment on that idea, your input is valuable. If you have any different ideas, please share. Thank you, now let's have fun!
