They say you have to have an e-mail to vote. Seems like the confirmation links are a bit slow. Between all the good info and fun the site provides, the least I can do is go and shill for the Wizard when I get the chance.
Also how could you not pull for a person that likes Guinea Pigs.

What do you mean by shill? If you're implying we make fake emails to add extra votes, I find that opposite to the spirit of this forum. I don't have any morality issue with it. I just dont think he would want to win that way.Quote: PerditionThey say you have to have an e-mail to vote. Seems like the confirmation links are a bit slow.

Yeah not shill in the literal sense. I meant to feverently support him. Guess me overuse of the word comes from hanging out with pro wrestlers too much lol.

Guinea pigs are the devil, as with any small rodent. I think I'm tasty or something, I always get bitten.

Thanks for the votes. However, I'm still not sure what I'm nominated for. Can anybody give me a more specific link to this?

You have to go to this website and give them an email address. They promise not to spam or sell it. Then you confirm through a link sent to your email, and you can see and vote with the ballot.

And your point is? People were checking on to say they'd voted. I checked on to say I'd voted. What's your issue?

I think I voted for the Wizard. I mean I selected his name and submitted it, but the website said something about needing to vote in 2/3rds of the categories. I initially was going to satisfy that, but then gave up after half-heartedly voting for a bunch of stuff I didn't care about. So I just skipped to the bottom and clicked the submit voting, fully expecting it to return an error message. But, it didn't say anything and said I successfully voted. So either they enforce the 2/3rds thing manually while collecting the ballots (which would be dumb), or it's not an actual requirement.
If it were something more prestigious, or involved a potential financial reward for the Wiz, I would have put more time into it. I think it was when I got to "Best Pool" that I gave up. I've literally never visited a pool in Las Vegas, so it would be disingenuous of me to vote.
