November 3
Okay, election event wrapup. First of all, we all now know who won the real election. Does this result agree with our various series' preferences? Let's see.... Voting Totals From Lists #49 - 61 Bush: 51 Kerry: 45 Nader: 10 Green Party: 2 Others: 30 Aragorn: Still not King So it seems Bush would have won here too, which is interesting because most of the list-writers were for Kerry. On the other hand, an informal poll going on at the forums currently stands at Bush 12, Kerry 20, others 5. (For a total of 37 votes... geez, polls at way lamer forums get thousands of votes. Maybe I should start advertising or something.) Oh, speaking of traffic, it's been awesome this week: we had over 600 hits on Monday and nearly as many yesterday. Keep it up! Back to the election event. So far several people have found the Easter egg... if you want to know a couple of cheap ways to find it, visit yesterday's comment thread. For those who are man enough to search the traditional way, I'll narrow it down a bit for you: the egg isn't in any of the Trek lists. And the egg isn't the only part of yesterday's update you may not have seen. For those who haven't noticed, a while ago I started doing unique disclaimers for the Top 10 lists, like I do for TJI -- so check those out if you didn't before. Finally, as promised, here are a few election-related links.
Acknowledgements time. First off, thanks to all the list writers -- you guys rocked the house, from experienced staffers to untrained greenhorns. Thanks also to Xeroc for showing me the CSS code for hiding the Easter egg, saving me the trouble of looking it up. Thank you to whatever floating muse, or maybe vampiric alien, gave me the idea for this event just in time. Thank you to America for having a way more interesting election than the ones we have up North. And not so much a thank you as a thumbs-up to all our American readers who voted yesterday. You did your duty -- and earned the right to complain about the government as much as you want for the next four years. Till next event, I'm Zeke, and I approve this message.

[ADMIN EDIT: No you won't. Do that in one of the political threads in Misc -- this thread's for talking about the update. I've PMed you the contents of this post. - Z]

Woot, great event Z, and great serenity and compassion for us crunchy granola loser types (as opposed to Andrew Card basically going "Ha! In yo face!" while things were still up in the air, for chrissakes).
At least we still have Martin Sheen. :? But lo! Term limits foist Bartlet out of office soon, and the producers of West Wing say they may replace him with a Republican! After that I guess I'll have to get my TV politics from Jessica Simpson or something... Anyway the multiple top-ten-list thing is mondo cool (and easier to corral than a multiple fiver thing, I'll bet). There's already the Executive Producer thing as a multiple TJI event. So nominations for the next big multiple event, people? Maybe a multiple Topic Title event (kidding, just kidding)...
