x  Q
Secretary of Forum Affairs

Q,

For your information - chances are this won't matter - but you do not include things like "Nym's Cookies" at all.  These preferences are outright ignored because they are not registered voters.  In some situations, e.g.:

Ballot 1
1. Nym's Cookies
2. Douglas36
3. John

Ballot 2
1. John
2. Douglas36

Ballot 3
1. John
2. Douglas36

Ballot 4
1. Douglas36
2. John

This can matter, as Douglas36 would be eliminated first round along with Nym's Cookies (both have 1); otherwise, it would be a tie.

Excellent job, though!  This is very hard stuff - keep up the great work.

Thank you, Alcon.  I was unsure on whether to include those.  It won't change the ultimate outcome in any of these races, but since in some context it could be the deciding factor, I have revised the tally omitting non-citizens from the ballots.

Where's the certificate on the symbols stuff? To follow?

As described in the official SoFA thread, yes, the tabulations on the symbols will not be finalized until a later date.

well that sucks.

Worst symbols ever.

As stated, the winner for the Mammals vote is American Black Bear.  I am terribly sorry, as the thought to post the detailed results simply slipped my mind.  I will be posting those quite soon.

Alright, Jake, are you still challenging the validity of this vote?

Of course
