Actually, I believe it is the same as all the other contests (FWTO & FWPT). If you don't vote, you are deducted 3 points.

Actually, it is a rule. In one of the first contests, the top vote-getter was disqualified (not by me) for not voting in time. So, actually, Whipper's in 2nd and someone else is in 3rd.

In this case it's been weeks. I messaged Basselope days ago, still haven't heard back, and also Basselope hasn't been doing FYC the past few times, so to avoid a Beagle-fishing expedition I'd say please do go ahead with it.



Okay. Let me think. (SMELL OF WOOD BURNING).

EM :)

Basselope





And, 1st place with 12 votes (3,3,3,2,1)

Congratulations to all. Select another, EM, if you dare. Votes go to whomever wins from now on (or until you guys change it).



Looks like Basselope actually won. I don't think he/she should lose points for not voting. Is that a rule?

EM :)

What's the hold up, voters? Are you too busy burying severed heads in the flower garden?

EM :)
Paddy C Posted - 18/01/2007 : 20:21:30
Have rectified my
lack of votes just recently.
Sorry for slowness!

Sludge Posted - 18/01/2007 : 00:38:53
Current Update 1/18 4:30 pm Hollywood time

Heard from:
Bafta
Whipper
Monty
Sludge
Ali
Bean
Paddy C

I have not heard from:
Basselope

Got clarifications from Whipper and Bafta in short order. Please vote like so:

Benj - 3 points
MguyX - 2 points
Alan Smithee - 1 point

I've messaged Basselope. I sent the current tally sheet to StaLean, but I think I'll be able to handle this if I'm messaged by morning.

We started this particular round of Haiku-ing 11/11/06!

Come on, let's pull the curtains closed and cast your votes.

EM :)
Stalean Posted - 12/01/2007 : 03:24:17
So far, I have Montgomery's, BaftaBabe's and Beanmimo's votes... I have, also, sent this information and well wishes to Sludge by email.

Again, we have for your perusal:

BaftaBabe votes received
Jimmy plays I spy.
Sleepless in the New York heat.
Is it murder, or

Whippersnapper
If Raymond Burr had
had the sense to draw his drapes
there would be no film.

PaddyC
James watches neighbours
To pass time (but not the soap!)
Perry Mason's evil.

Sludge emailed me
Jimmy's got an itch
a pair of binoculars
and active neighbors

Ali Votes received
Of all things he could
Watch, like knockers, ass or minge
James spies a murder.

Basselope
What kind of a man
ignores Grace Kelly so he
can watch Raymond Burr?

Montgomery votes received
Burr's wife's on a trip?
She left her handbag, her ring,
and her head behind.

Beanmimo votes received
Dogs dodgy diggings
Flower bed levels dropping
Dead wife, second break

I am awaiting the rest of your votes so we may let dead wives (and dogs) lie, as it were.
Montgomery Posted - 11/01/2007 : 19:22:23
deja vote.


EM :)

Stalean Posted - 11/01/2007 : 17:35:21
I believe Sludge wanted some help with the chores and suggested that whomever won the last Haiku and started the new one should receive the next round votes.

As I hadn't entered this round but did choose the film, I suppose everyone could send their votes to me and I will do the count. If this is agreeable to everyone, I still have the counting program that (I believe) Sludge and I created. I'm sure it still works.

The only problem that I can forsee is, if Sludge is not around, he won't know to send his votes to me. Just let me know by sending me your votes or posting your agreement in this thread, and, then, send me your votes.

Whomever wins this round counts the votes for the next round.
