Yes, but does any of this work with Mac OS 8.6?

has the votes of KillerGM and PHJ. And each half has one-third of Standback's vote

has the vote of Pteryx. Note that the second half is the same as above.

Agent Smith: These aren't the codes...HEY!
Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1, Agent Smith 0!

Neo: NO! I will go in and save him.
Trinity: Silly, you are. Me, go too, yes I will.
Neo: Fine, but next time I get to be Yoda.
would apparently have the vote of NeoMatrix. And the first half is the same as the first half of the first proposal above





So, breaking it down (and with apologies for any inexcusable goofs I may make):


For the first half:
Quote:
Agent Smith: Give me the codes to Zion.
Morpheus: These aren't the codes you are looking for.
Agent Smith: These aren't the codes...HEY!
Morpheus: HA! Morpheus 1, Agent Smith 0!
currently has 3 1/3 votes.

Morpheus: Awww. There there, go ahead and cry. It'll do you a world of good.
Agent Smith: *sob*
has one vote plus mine for a current total of 2.


For the second half:

Neo: But we can rescue him! For you see, I have a cunning plan...
Trinity: Does this plan by any chance involve walking in the front door all guns blazing?

has 3 1/3 votes currently.

currently has 1 vote.

Any more votes out there? (Note--There are several other blocks which Standback liked, may as well go back and look at them too. Also a note to myself--I still have a vote to cast on the second half.)

My votes correspond with those of Pteryx, that is to say, #2 on #1 and #1 on #2.

I'd say we either need a 1-2 sequence or a 2-1 sequence, depending on the theme.

I like both of those pairs, so I don't know.

I think that's how it stands so far. Correct me if I counted wrong.

Nobody's corrected you, so I guess you counted right!



Voting for the first half of the block has remained about the same, with the first choice still leading by a slight margin. But the second choice for the second half is close to pulling off a shocking come-from-behind upset. Currently I would tend to consider them tied, since Standback would presumably cast a full vote for choice A if he were here ( ). So let's especially have a few more votes on the last half in particular, okay?

I'm not completely gone. I'm just... preoccupied. Finals period, I'm afraid, keeps me locked away in my room studying instead of hanging out in the computer lab. Calculus III exam tomorrow... ::shudder:: wish me luck...
I've also been frequenting the forums less because, well, FBC has been moving very very very slowly, and I usually don't have time to write longer posts in other threads.

In any case, my votes are indeed to #1A and #2A. YAY!

Good luck, Standback!


So we do indeed need a few more votes, at least for the second half anyhow.

Then my vote will settle it, and I vote for the first version. Block closed. Hurrah!
