cross-posting a voting update from the discussion thread:

[quote]Well, we were kicking around an idea to let people vote for first-place, second-place, and third-place -- which would've made tiebreakers much easier to handle. But the poll button isn't cooperating at the moment. If [@Mahz] can get it up this weekend there's still time to implement it, but for now the tie is essentially broken.....

TELL YOU WHAT!

To do this manually is a bit harder and a bit more confusing [i]but[/i], if anybody cares to throw in [b]ONE[/b] runner-up piece per voter (as in, you pick your favorite, and then pick one more if you want to), I think we can use those as tiebreakers, in the event the voting becomes deadlocked again. We'll have to see how many total votes are handed in, but I think we might do at least first-place and second-place trophies.

Also -- if you submitted an entry, and you don't want to vote because that might hurt your chances of winning, that's totally fine -- you can cast just a tiebreaker if you like, and I won't count it unless there's a tie to break. Just specify that in your voting post so I don't mess it up. [/quote]
