Can you provide a link for that? I haven't seen a single post by somebody, and I never vote for somebody who's a nobody I've heard of.

Fist and Faith.

Not an alt. Moved.

All threads have been updated with current seconded nominees.

Vraith, you're going well about getting votes as a funniest Watcher nominee)

Why? Fist/Han-shan/etc. is a person of many names and many alts... Is Han-shan an alt of Fist or Fist an alt of Han-shan? Judging by the mere number of posts? 542 is more than many, many non-alts have.

[Syl Embattled] wrote:All threads have been updated with current seconded nominees.

Thanks, convenient.

Well, for one thing, Fist and Faith is a mod, and mods aren't alts (and while some mods are alt-rockers, that's something entirely different).

Fist? One of these? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Old_Mods_photo.jpg

And I thought one of the mods was an alt for sure, he suggested that himself)

A more practical question - I thought there were going to be warnings to make people hurry up a day before closing the nominations, like earlier, but decided better to ask just in case - are there going to be any?

It explains something alright I do believe that I have picked up the books a couple of times but was never able to get into them.

From Wiki:

In 1986 the trilogy won the Prometheus Hall of Fame Award, designed to honor classic libertarian fiction.

This might have something to do with it. They are also satire which is generally not to my taste (I know he's comedy, but I can't read Prachett either ).

What's your excuse

u.

people need to be seconding noms, especially in the poetry thread. or i'm going to have and choose betwixt two of my own poems...

I am still in awe of The First. Can I 3rd it?

[mod edit]moved from Best User Created Image thread, as it is neither a nomination nor a second ~m.[/mod edit]

All nominations can be thirded or discussed further than a second here in the discussion thread. Just be certain to reference which category and nominee you are referring to.

Nomination threads are for nominations, seconds, and potential disqualifications only.

Meh. Exception that proves the rule.

Menolly's informational posts to newbs were and are like reading a tourist's guidebook to another country: they were chock-full of hyperlinks and road signs of where to go and what to do with your new-found newbdom.

Thanks, your wriggleness, sir. I truly appreciate that, even more than the nomination.
I was never sure you noticed while we were co-mods...
Although thank you to Effy for the nomination, as well!

You're very welcome)

Really could hardly be said better Worm of Despite), thanks for the support of my nomination and such a wonderful explanation - though one I don't exactly agree with on one point - I agree with the part about Menolly's work - maybe it just seemed to you that you didn't do much yourself)

And... exception? What about AllMother then? Oh, and not like I expect much from this argumentation, kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=901598#901598

Effaeldm wrote:And... exception? What about AllMother then?

Good point.


Although I'll admit while I believe AllMother to be the only GM mod to create an alt account for the purpose, I do think of GT alts as separate from other Watch alts. Onos T'oolan is a mod of a regular Watch sub-forum, hence me pointing him out to the sheriff...
