h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

There has been quite a good turn-out, so far...
From what I understand to be votes, I have 13 up to & including Mina's vote, I am very pleased with this score.
Thank you for organizing this, Bluebottle.
~Seven~

I'm glad you're enjoying taking part, and yes, you seem to be doing very well.
Only one more week until voting ends, though, but it is going better than I had hoped.
One thing I had hoped for was that everyone would get at least one vote, and sadly this has not happened yet, but hopefully by next week things will have changed.

But thanks for entering, I'm glad you're enjoying it.
So, I take it you'd like to be in next year's?

<BB<

It's my pleasure...
Yes, I will enter next years contest!
The people who have not got votes are not doing the input required are they?
It is a good turn-out, Bluebottle, you are to be commended for your efforts.
I expect many more researchers to vote before the closing date.
Especially if I ride my seahorse a few more times

I hope so, and yes, it is true that the people who aren't getting many votes aren't around that much...
...but a lot of them are new to the site, and I don't want them to be discouraged by the lack of attention they're getting...

Oh well - overall I'm pleased. More people than I expected have entered, and as everything is running smoothly now, I can sit back, enjoy it, and start planning the next one

<BB<

Great!
Have you voted?
Or are you remaining diplomatically neutral?

I'd every intention of remaining diplomatically neutral, but in the end I did vote...
...for someone who is new to h2g2, hasn't met many researchers yet, and so hadn't got any votes.
Now the voting's over - the results should be announced in the latest issue of:

Aw, bless you, Bluebottle!
I am very impressed!
and a
I think you are wonderful!

I think it was wonderful that you entered - so congratulations on winning!

<BB<

Thank you!

And now I get a well-earnt 8 month break before I have to start planning the next one
Oh well - the joys of h2g2.

An 8-month break?
Oh, well, enjoy!
~and I have 8 months to look for a new picture~
~Seven~

And I have 8 months to try and remind Peta that she promised us a photo in THIS year's competition
Oh well... I wonder what h2g2 competition will come up next.

<BB<

Goodness me!
Here am I, slaving away on sorting out back issues and I find this conversation
Well done BB!

It probably won't begin in earnest until September, though, so you've time to bribe the voters.
Should you decide to enter.

<BB<

What is a bribe?

~innocent look~

Shazz - I bet you have been waiting your whole life to say that!

Just to let you know how it's going:
I'm currently waiting for Amy to draw a special picture that she's kindly offered to draw for the competition, which Peta will blob for us. When that's done, the competition can start!

I thought you said that wonderfully, Shazz. Go on, say it again.
