spoon-business: nweek 6 results

["David E. Smith" <dave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One thing that's on my mind before I get to all the real vote-counting
stuff: When (not if) I make a mistake, please remember that you can always
just say "hey, Dave, you f---ed up" instead of CFJing me for it. The
end-of-week stuff in particular is likely to start messing with my brain
real soon - mostly because there's enough of it that I can no longer keep
it all in my head. Scoring? Gremlins? Dimensions? (At least I don't have
to deal with the Hamster Balls.)

With that out of the way, here goes the results of nweek 6 voting.

This ballot is brought to you by KMFDM and Luscious Jackson.

Anything involving Keywords or Chutzpah does not yet exist - right now, my
Keywords database is cluttered with NotKeywords, and I haven't yet worked
out how to handle Chutzpah at all.

Got more Dr. Pepper, since this proposal also specifies a lot of ugly
changes...
The following rules were created by the "day"->"nday" transmogrification:
128/4
213/3
257/2 (note that this was probably an unintended consequence, as the rule
now makes no sense)
258/3
261/2
295/1
348/1

Scoff! scores 9 points.

That's it for voting. Yay.

Ooh, this sucks... the Web site is broken again. I'd put in a page caching
system of my own design, so the page with all the rules wouldn't take ten
seconds to load, but it blows the caching system all to hell, since the
rules listing is about 100k now. For the sake of Joel's server, don't do
stupid stuff like reload the rules page incessantly, as it's back to the
original version that has to do a several LARGE database queries. In
short: don't be a retard. Thanks.

(Anyone who can think of a clever way to pre-cache this sort of thing is
heartily encouraged to speak up.)

Antonio is placed on Forced Leave.
Baron von Skippy is placed on Forced Leave.
Turgul is still on Forced Leave - if e doesn't show back up by the next
ballot, e will be hit by Garbage Collection.

Under the revised Bandwidth Gremlin rules, The Token of Proposals is
awarded to... ooh. Wonko had the most affirmative votes (38), but e's
blocked from receiving it since e had it last nweek. The Bandwidth Gremlin
goes into hiding, and takes the Token with em.

This nweek's Gremlin Number is 3.

The Immunity Idol is awarded to Dan - those 124 freebie points helped out
rather a bit.

The Roster has been updated with new scores, activity ratings, and so on.
Here's the requisite cut-n-paste:

Antonio
Activity 0 Charm 4 Distance 88.1 Score 88 Speed 22.95 Style 0

Baron von Skippy
Activity -2 Charm 0 Distance 1 Score 0 Speed -1 Style 0

Bean
Activity 3 Charm 0 Distance 5 Score 4 Speed 3.69 Style 0

Congenital Optimist
Activity 3 Charm 2 Distance 61.95 Score 60 Speed 21.89 Style 15

Dan
Activity 2 Charm 1 Distance 137.02 Score 137 Speed 136.02 Style 0

Glotmorf
Activity 4 Charm 5 Distance 85.24 Score 85 Speed 44.08 Style 0

Iain

Activity 3 Charm 6 Distance 85.26 Score 85 Speed 30.14 Style 0

Turgul
Activity -4 Charm -1 Distance 10.82 Score 10 Speed 0.33 Style 0

Uncle Psychosis
Activity 2 Charm 1 Distance 108.02 Score 108 Speed -19.02 Style 0

Wonko
Activity 4 Charm 22 Distance 254.96 Score 254 Speed 56.29 Style 0

And yes, I promise I'll try to make the Roster page prettier soonish.

All Rules still have a Chutzpah of 1, and only a few rules have Keywords.
As I said before, I'll get all this straightened out as soon as I can
manage.

Uncle Psychosis voted privately; I'll forward eir ballot to the business
list later. I'm going to bed now.
