@BasedLunatic Put it in a screenshot, if they advance past the first round it'll matter.
IIRC they're sitting at two nominations, and "CMD has a tagline ready to go" is a (minor) factor in me deciding which of those people go through. You basically wrote that just now, so thanks.
I'm currently preparing the taglines for Maija, Tomato, Jeff Cliff, Adam Curry, CSB, SirRogueKnight, Ratposter, Tony, and Based Lunatic because I'm *pretty sure* all 9 of them are going to be in the tournament.
If anyone has anything about these people they want to say to encourage people to vote for any of these nine people, then now's a good time to put that in my ear.

Notes:
1) This is the result after recounting. It should be considered temporarily official. I have attached a spreadsheet.
2) Some votes appear to be missing. In particular, a nomination for @GummyNerds and truthbait seems to be missing.
3) Someone nominated twice, and very differently each time. I assume this is purely from absent-mindedness, and so I have taken their most recent nomination and discarded their oldest.
4) The attached spreadsheet reflects what I believe to be true. Double-check to make sure your vote is there.
5) I have changed my nomination from "Maija, Salt, Starprophet" to "Maija, Salt, Nyx." Everyone else can do it, so I'm doing it too. 🤷
The faggot who sips tea and spends all day reading classical literature is *not* keeping society afloat. Engineers, however, *do*. Anyone reasonable can draw that distinction, and blurring the lines here is a little disingenuous.
@Griffith@BowsacNoodle@sickburnbro This isn't really wrong logically, and there absolutely are Christians who *do* just sort of use their faith as a crutch. It gets advertised like that, and that's a real problem.
The argument against this point, however, is to point out the existence of the few who have directly encountered God.
I do not know how to explain it, but when you encounter such a person it is VERY OBVIOUS that they have had such an encounter. To call what they have "faith" is an insult to their experience - they know, and there is simply no shaking it. Someone who is young may not have encountered such people, and someone who has absolutely no spiritual ability may not notice them when they present themselves. However, they undeniably exist. They do not *fill* the pews, but they are occasionally present and should not be ignored.
1) @meso - you posted a nomination which is invalid for this reason, and I didn't get around to telling you that. Please nominate exactly three people.
2) My list is clearly wrong. I have more nominations for Maija and fewer for Sirrogueknight than I thought I did. Putting everything into a spreadsheet is helping it seems.
@Kagekokoro I need exactly 3 people as a nomination for this to be valid. I highly recommend salt and nyx from Xenofem, although you can choose whoever you want.
@BowsacNoodle@BadFediPosts Right now there's three people from xenofem who have any nominations, and you can go nominate all of them right now in the nomination thread which is pinned to my profile! :konata_happy:
