I think Mamaursula is right. Some of you crankypants need a break.
I ran my Pathfinder game today. When I pick up voting again later tomorrow, I'll be refreshed and ready for a new round of pain.
And yes, for whoever mentioned it, Skull & Shackles is terrific. Yarr!
My Emerald Spire game keeps getting cancelled! :(
But I did some shopping (voted while wife drove), saw a few movies (voted during pre-show), and attended the work Holiday Party (voted when possible).

Someone's going for the Champion Voter trifecta.

I confess, I vote for ideas, and not price, format, or sometimes execution. If you have a great concept and can sell it a bit, I vote for it. If you have a good idea vs. +X and a SIAC, I vote for you. If your opponent is a staff (and nothing else), I vote for you. I guess I'm too positive for this thread, but I'm Canadian...

END OF PAGE 40 SHAKE IT OFF!!!
EVERYONE STOP VOTING!
Get up, go walk around, shake it off! This is for fun and we're all here to have a good time! I know I'm guilty of getting bogged down too.
Go back to your keeper list, find something you really liked and marvel at it.
Get a drink, watch a holiday show, hug your SO/child/pet/pillow and get some air.
We'll reconvene later!
Good Job everyone!
I did as I was told.
I wrapped presents for 4 hours and I am now sitting back and catching up with the threads before my next voting stint.
23 pressies all wrapped, tied, bow affixed, name tags affixed with teaser clues and messages for all my loved ones. I love this time of year (maybe because I am old, look like Santa and love milk and cookies too!)
I made myself a black cherry chocolate from Twinings company. And then added a measure of Baileys Irish Cream to it! It's like drinking an alco-ho-ho-ho-lic black forest gateau and very chocolaty too :P
I feel really decadent right now and able to face all the worst of the items all over again and smile through the lot.
*slurp*
*melt* Yum!

Wait till they meet the needle man on the beach - my brave adventurers all ran away screaming "like liddle gurlies". ;)

Oh, this is a pretty cool item, or at least it's better than the untemplated item with a vague effect opposite it. It's especially nice because it clearly evokes the flavor of X without deliberately saying...oh, nope, there it is, final paragraph smashing you in the face with what it really is. Now I want to vote against the obviously better item just because of that stupid explanation.

Ugh! Even worse decision. Dumb item I have seen a half dozen times that does the same thing as at least 4 other items and is the worst implementation of the effect, or really cool new item I haven't seen before that thought it was ok to totally invent new spells. Ugh, and the spells are even templated correctly. Why do people make it so hard for me to vote for them?

A-men to THAT! Especially double for the unformatted items. Seeing items without the proper templating is a critical eyesore when placed next to an item with all the pieces in place. It's no contest.

The sad thing is—as based on your voter tags you are well aware but I might as well post this for the newbies—some of those items will still be there after the cull.
