Did my Imaginary Friends scam predate you?  Somehow I thought you were around longer than that.  I created 20-some imaginary friends and had them all vote in favor of a proposal that declared me the winner.  Dave's reaction, a few hours before the end of voting, was, "Okay, but I'll need an email address for each one."  Hanfway through frantically creating Yahoo email addresses, I decided to just appreciate the absurdity instead.

Now...how many players have you declared yourself to be?  Better get crankin' on those email addresses...
