[RACCies] 2005 Official RACCies ballot

Nominations for the 2005 RACCies have now closed, with five people
participating. Now for the oft-repeated voting procedure:


The (r)ACCIES are a two-step process:
1. Nominations. Open. The only restriction is that you may not
nominate yourself or any stories you worked on. (I will except
crossovers under the assumption it is the others' contributions you
wish to recognize ;] ). The objective is to overlook _no_ quality
stories, yet still keep the ballot a reasonable length, so nominate
as many as you wish but make sure _someone'd_ vote for them.
In addition to the below listed categories, participants are
encouraged to create 'special' (read -- comedic) awards to include
in the balloting. Include a winner with your award. I will exert
editorial fiat over these nominations, choosing the funniest among
duplicates and dismissing ones in bad taste or ones with vicious
intent. Nominations are RACC-wide: all posted imprints, stories
and authors are eligible as long as the story(ies) in question were
posted after 23 DEC 2004 and before 24 DEC 2005.

Nomination Period ends: JAN 31 2006

2. Elections. Crunch time. Pick three and rank them 1,2,3
(no self-voting). Track and field scoring in effect -- ie 1st is 5pts,
2nd is 3pts and 3rd is 1pt. Most points wins. Democracy inaction!

Election Period ends: FEB 28 2006

NOTE: Please return all nominations and ballots to

Halfway through the voting period, and five people have
responded. Woot! However, I need more responses, as there
are a number of ties which could probably be resolved by the
application of more crunched numbers.

The (r)ACCIES are a two-step process:
1. Nominations. Open. The only restriction is that you may not
nominate yourself or any stories you worked on. (I will except
crossovers under the assumption it is the others' contributions you

as many as you wish but make sure _someone'd_ vote for them.

intent. Nominations are RACC-wide: all posted imprints, stories
and authors are eligible as long as the story(ies) in question were
posted after 23 DEC 2004 and before 24 DEC 2005.

Nomination Period ends: JAN 31 2006

2. Elections. Crunch time. Pick three and rank them 1,2,3
(no self-voting). Track and field scoring in effect -- ie 1st is 5pts,
2nd is 3pts and 3rd is 1pt. Most points wins. Democracy inaction!

One week to go before nominations close. Six people have responded...
I think.

Here's the dope. When I logged into my hotmail account yesterday I
checked the junk email file, and in addition to the usual spam I was
horrified to find that one of Tom's email's had gotten in there. Dunno
how that happened. Now I'm in a state of paranoia that someone may have
emailed me their vote during the one-and-a-half week at the start of Feb
when I was on hols at the beach and it got lost.

I am therefore going to send a confirmation email to the six people who's
RACCies votes I have received so far over the next few hours. If you've
voted and don't receive a ping, could you please resend your vote.
