Go diaglo!

For someone whose hat of d02 know no limit, it's amazing the number of votes he's getting to judge d20 awards.

They aren't d20 awards

Shhh! You're spoiling my irony!

The candidates I voted for are doing very poorly... I don't think any of them will win. Pity; so much for the fresh blood.

Fresh blood combined with some experience is the idea panel IMO...

oh wait... what's that??? line 1 EnWorld... something about a popularity contest

well, top five at this point would be someone doing it for the 6th time, one for the 4th time, one for the third time, one for the second time, and one for the first time. Sounds like that is people with experince as well as people learning the ropes.

Its only a popularity contest if people are not basing the voting on who they think will be the best judges. I don't think anyone can say what the voters intentions are.

Yep, its looking to be a very diverse group experience wise...which is a good thing.

And man, Diaglo's got the staying power. He just keeps slowly creeping farther ahead bit by bit.

Voted and bumped - I'd like to see my man Ankh Morpok Guard give this a whirl.

Actually if you compare the "%'s" Rasyr posted this morning, you'll see he has lost a little ground. The "%'s" have kept fairly steady (within 1 or 2 %) since I checked it last night.

I don't think one can realistically deny the correlation between popularity and performance in the polls. All one can argue is about causation - do people win because they are popular, are they popular because they have the qualities we like in judges, or something else?

I don't consider 80% repeat judges a diverse group w.r.t. experience. I'd be happier with 2-4 new judges and 1-3 repeat judges, myself. On average this group will have judged more than twice each before.
