Fixed. The stupid list copied twice when I made it.

ETA: I searched for "Drooling Over Stephen" and couldn't find it, which (I would assume), makes it inelegable.

...also, I have sent uwvark a PM reguarding his requested closing of Weird Al 3 Word. I will make my decision about that once/if I get a reply from him.

I think the only fair thing to do is to put all three nominees from said topic on the ballot since it wouldn't be fair to just choose one.
I think that if there are any red nominees at the end of the nomination period, then whoever nominated them should be given a chance to explain why they chose them and a certain period of time should be given to see if anyone seconds them.
Wishing you a Twisted Christmas and a Twisted New Year!

That's a very good idea, Keir. What should the time be? One week? Five days?

4 words that Al said to me that blew me away:

I hope that answers your question, BS.
I meant more along the lines of if there just aren't many nominations for a category (like just one or two). I wasn't really take seconding into account.

Wow. Thanks to Jessica for nominating me for best newbie, and thanks to Mystik Tomato for seconding. For some reason that surprised me. *laughs*

If there was only one nominee for a catagory, then presumably they would win by default. If there are 2 solid nominees for a catgory reguardless of color, then they would move on to the final ballot.

3 Word was locked because it lost its luster and it lost its creativity. People were using it to spam. It was no longer fun and it was making me sick. Feel free to un-nominate it or whatever.

I'd like to point out that WA3W isn't the only game in the forum that isn't fun anymore.
Sever your leg, please. It's the greatest day.
