DirtyDick Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 This is outrageous - I am still in third place. There is no way I will become the Lib Dems of this contest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 Ah-ha! I see Soren has had a slight resurgence in the over night hours. In light of these developments I would ask all my peeps to vote again! (Voting early and often is the key to a good election!) Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 Why don't we insititute proportional represenation on this thread, and make up a picture with the percentage of votes gained - like a collage. At present it would be 41.38% plain black, surrounding a third of Soren's, plus a figure from DD's bus queue etc etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doogal Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 when does the poll close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andigger Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 Or we could institute the electoral college system, where by votes are weighed by the total population of the country where the voting Pals live. In this example (1) US vote would be equivilent to (4.861) UK votes. Or we could simplfy things and make the ratio 1:5 (US:UK). Other nations can be added to the equation when this highly equitable and reasonable solution is adopted. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDick Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 Excellent idea. Not that such a thing should affect the value of each of my current votes vis-a-vis the others, but did I mention that I am a wheelchair-bound black lesbian pensioner who resides in Iceland?

andigger Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 997:1 Iceland:US... best start rounding up other wheellchair bound lesbian pensioners who have an interest in WWI art who care enough to register and vote. GOOD LUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyDick Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 So, by using the "Florida Chad Dubious Recount Method" of calculation, I already have 3,988 votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul guthrie Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 I voted for my fellow countryman Andy purely on artistic merit!

jdajd Posted 3 August , 2005 Share Posted 3 August , 2005 May I ask what MGWAT stands for? So far I have come up with some interesting ideas: May Get Wet At Times My Girl Was a Trick (or treat depending on the night) Maybe Gods Watching All the Time My God What A Treasure ad infinitum ad nauseum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest PROCONSUL Posted 4 August , 2005 Share Posted 4 August , 2005 Having been attacked by the religious right and other friends of "Catwoman" on another thread (entirely off topic - Damn Cats) I have now conducted a tactical withdrawal in contact and while I regroup and reorg for the next Big Push I am hopefully taking cover in the realm of the benificent and enlightened community of artists on this thread. I have voted for that inestimable work so noted and remarkable for its deep perspective and use of shadow. This, of course, has absolutely nothing to do with the term Digger and me being from Sydney an' all! Tim Sydney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

historydavid Posted 4 August , 2005 Share Posted 4 August , 2005 Not being into high class art and such, I decided to vote for the black thing because I had to admire the artist's inititive in sending me a PM requesting me to vote for him. The other entrants seem to have missed a trick! Best wishes David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 4 August , 2005 Share Posted 4 August , 2005 I decided to vote for the black thing because I had to admire the artist's inititive in sending me a PM requesting me to vote for him. Best wishes David I hope I am not jumping the gun, so to speak, but to my mind this was an integral part of the artist's compositional method. The PMs represent the comradeship, and inner need to communicate with those at home. They are the unspoken cries wafting through the air from the man at the workface; the spiritual liason with family and friends. Perhaps Andigger could give us a formal introduction to this masterpiece, for my words fall short, and I may be misintrepreting his intentions. If so, I apologise.

You'll know that David was the only person I PM'ed since I noticed him on Forum. All the other votes are legitimate! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
