You've got to have some brass balls and confidence in your writing to make Bret a heel and make him a member of DX, but you pulled it off Totti. Have a vote

[Lexa90]

This is a really hard one for me... as my two favourite diaries are nominated...

I pick Angel this time, because I know Sebsys time will come

[Zeel1]

I went with Totti as well, a very good diary, that's managed to put a lot of good shows into a small period of time.

[angeldelayette]

BUMP! Thanks for the votes, for those who voted for me!

[mistaken]

<p>is it me or are the vote numbers this now tremendously lower that in previous months?</p><p> </p><p>

I hope buisness starts picking up soon.</p><p> </p><p>

And just to let you all know I think there will soon be a rule to how long a rookie is a rookie. as I have noticed alot of diaries starting at the end of one month and it appears to be to avoid two full months on the rookie charts.</p><p> </p><p>

It will move from a 60 day window, to in must have been running for 60 days as of the start of nominations, for classification as a rookie diary. that way any diary started durring the nomination phase of one months still ends up eligable for the rookie class for two voting cycles.</p>

bump

[tristram]

I see its a 7 y'all split at the moment, and I can't bring myself to voting because both these holmes are like bros to me and both their stories are rippers. Then we have sebsy, the return of the elite... arghhh... Decisions decisions, I can't do it. Good luck to all (I'm kinda hoping it ends up a tie because frankly that'd be fitting).

I have a question: what kind of diaries CAN'T be nominated as a Rookie diary?

[mistaken]

<p>the current rules say a rookie diary is ANY diary started since the first of the previous month. that has run one show.</p><p> </p><p>

So that would include any diary. watcher diaries "post" shows, they are just not thier own. Fan site type diaries "report" shows so they are in. It does how ever exclude one category, they "help" diaries. The show idea thread, the lessons learned thread, even the DOTM thread <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />.</p><p> </p><p>

does this help or am I miss understanding the question?</p>

So, if your diaries has been running for several months, it can still qualify for the Rookie Diary?

[ampulator]

Yeah, I read that line. It's just constructed in a way that I don't understand. Does that only mean only that month, or it could be a couple months after too?

I started mine on August 29th so it qualifies since it started after August 1. But next month it won't qualify for Rookie because the cut-off date will be September 1st.</p>

Thanks Angelayette. That's what I wanted to know. Thank you. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

One Final Bump!

[mistaken]

two ties in one month!

 

congrats to both Angel and totti.

 

and on a different note, vote turn out seemed very low this month.

[FINisher]

Awesome here aswell!

[totti]

Well done Angel and thanks for all my votes guys. I'm chuffed to have to have been up there with a chance at all and in the end i'm very pleased with a tie.

[angeldelayette]

Congrats to totti! It looks like we have a real world rookie dotm and a Cornellverse rookie dotm. Thanks to everyone who voted for me! I've been going in and out because of this Swine Flu that I have but I am hoping to truly be back real soon.

[Greg McNeish]

Congratulations to the two very deserving winners. It's never shameful to lose to talented peers as yourselves.

 

Thank you to my voters. I started a new job last week, and it's been throwing off my whole schedule. I've got a system-ish figured out now. My week of inactivity ends tonight.
