A moment before I plunge into the community's finest creations, I wanted to thank the developers who wrote the voting system.

This is a huge change for the contest - and, I can only assume, quite a project for you. I'm a programmer myself, and while I don't know the details of what you've done or how you've done it, I can guess at some of the challenges involved. Implementing a complex voting system, integrating it into the existing forum site, tracking a month's worth of voting for each user - wow. It must have been a heck of a lot of work. I hope it was fun, too :)

RPG Superstar has always enjoyed tight tech support, with secret judging chambers and annonymized submissions and a dozen other corners you've always covered - all kinds of different ways it seems like you've made forums do things that forums aren't meant to do! But this time, it seems to me like an even bigger step up. I'm impressed with the amount of consideration, planning, design, and hard work that must have gone into something like this. Kudos to you.

I'm going to go now and start peeking at wondrous items, but rest assured, Condorcet's miraculous voting booth is gonna rank high up there...

Gary and his team did a really amazing job with their code wizardry. :-)

Star Voter Season 6

I agree. The whole system is tight. I even like the little countdown before voting to make sure you have a chance to thoroughly read each item and weight the pros/cons before voting... though it is a trifle tedious when you get two items you've seen before and instantly know which one to vote for.

It's amazing. Great job team!

Ross gets all the credit for this one. I mostly just said "do it like this." He's done a great job working through all the implications and ensuring that everything works properly.
