Because large populaces are always known for forward thinking and intelligent choices when casting their ballots? Because folks are never known for sacrificing the future for the sake of the now?

Hey, now don't go putting words in my mouth

Firstly, I'll quote Chruchill (and I'm sure you know what's coming here)

"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried...

And I tend to agree. Not just becasue I am doing well (thanks all!) but because, honestly, what do you think would produce results better reflecting the Zeitgeist than the calssic "One Person/One Vote" model?

Anything more complex than that is an effort to skew voting, which is fine if you are looking for a specific result...but I would hope that the specific result that we're looking for here isn't that complex.

Secondly...I don't think it's fair to categorize any of the previous judges as being a "Sacrifce of the future for the sake of the now". I've worked with all of them, and am perfectly confident in their ability to do the work required.

*shrug*. Neither here nor there, I suppose.

I don't know about that. It seems to come up every year in one form or another. I'm just not sure that any "fix" I can imagine does anything but punish incumbents for successfully doing their jobs. :\

Is it "fair" to do that for the sake of...I don't know what?

 

[Xath]

I was excited to see so many women running this year. I was hoping that we'd get at least some estrogen on the judging panel, even if it's not me. But it looks as though testosterone will win out again.

But there's still time left.

I voted for you

But you didn't get my vote because you are a girl. You got it becasue I was reading your posts and being imporessed for months without my realizing you were a girl.

Which is to say: you know your stuff and you can make it interesting.

That, and I think your boyfriend is cool

(I kid! I kid because I love!)

You keep your hands off of my boyfriend!

I loan him to you during Gencon, but during the rest of the year he's mine.

 

[Umbran]

As far as the older judges returning, people need to start asking for more options en mass. 2 years on, one year off, etc... One lone voice in the wilderness is not going to effect change.

It is unlikely you'll get any discussion of the matter "en masse". We barely get voting en masse .

I have the sneaking suspicion, though, that the matters are linked. I am not convinced we'll see really hearty and enthusiastic voting unless the election becomes a bit more competetive. , by whatever means.

Is that soemthing you'd like to see?

Becasue honestly, the competition is there if people vote that way isn't it?

Would artificially skewing the results, in an effort to increase voting serve any non-recursie purpose (I mean, it sounds like you are talking about warping the results of the vote to try and increase the voter tunrout...would the plan then to warp those results for some purpose)?

 

[Eridanis]

Eridanis (6 votes) is clearly very distinguished.

Well, you know, you have to have someone trustworthy at the back of the party, so you don't get jumped by a group of sneaky ninjas.

Looks like it's shaping up to be another excellent judges' pool this year. I'm honored that I've gotten more than two votes (mine and the missus') with this kind of company!
