I have ample space on a stable, well-connected Web server as well (the one
housing www.bureau42.com, www.technopagan.org, metadave.net, and all my
other sites that I'm forgetting about right now). That's not a problem.

If feasible, I'd like to keep things on nomic.net because, well, it's a
nomic, and the name fits.

I certainly can, but many of the details will be wrong. I don't go back
and adjust dimensions/rules/scores/whatever 'til I can do the whole darn
thing all at once (which usually takes about two hours).

Meanwhile, when I load up the "vote results" page, it'll be filled with
things like 'Orc In A Spacesuit scores 13 points." The number is generated
randomly, on demand; when I actually start processing these things, the
numbers will OC be different. (And the vote results are filled with
"OddVote Detected!" comments, where "OddVotes" are a generic way of
handling anything that's not Yes/No/Abstain/Shelve (split votes on A La
Carte props, voting scams, whatever).

So, basically, I could just snip in a copy of the "vote results" but it
would bear only a passing resemblance to actual vote results.
