They each have one vote, and must MESSAGE me their vote (not post in forum), or else their vote will not be counted (no second tries). Voting ends May 1 11:59 PM Pacific. Remember, list members and past winners, you are voting for a winner.

woodshover gets a vote.  thats gas.

jonden, too

Hessianwarrior, since I nominated him in one of the rounds or maybe that was last month.

(by the way I for one love the new voting format, not of this particular month but the general idea of mixing it up.)

Ivandh is that a Czeh Republic flag?

ProKnight,

I think it would be more interesting if you'd keep us posted on the voting tallys thoughout the process rather than wait to the very end to say who won.

Do you not trust me? 

I think by posting the tallies, people who have not voted may become influenced to vote a certain way.

If you can improve on your idea, I can put it to use.

Maybe you could give out the score without the names?  Just something for us to follow along while waiting.  (random thoughts)

 Will it be Charlotte or kco, only the ProKnight knows.

The solution to the question of transparency is to post the votes post-mortem ... que up a requiem for the occasion ... I cannot think of a more apropos conclusion :)

woodshover or Woodshover?  I guess this another peril of changing your username.

This is neither "panem" nor "circenses"; the electorate is eager and idle.

PK, as long as this is taking, you should get started on CPOTM May right away.

That wouldn't be very fair for April, now would it?

Lol Brilliant, I must learn how to do that photo editing thing 

That picture alone should earn Joesph-S a place in the CPOTM Hall of Fame.

Yeah, right behind the visitor's head...

Is that Ivan, goldendog & trysts in there ? :))

No that is Alekhine's cat posing with Alekhine, a dog with a tennis ball and an eye patch, and some kind of flower thing or maybe its the Eye of Sauron from the blasphemous movies.
