EXPLANATION:


I'll put it simply - I CHEATED (sort of).

I figured NWC would gang together and load the poll with whatever number someone highly placed in it had picked. NWC is a REGIONAL chapter (three states voting together) - and I put it that TENNESSEE was going with FOUR... (posted it smack dab in the NWC chapter, so I was sure it was seen)

What I didn't say was that I picked five other chapters to drop a note in - saying "Vote 4. You'll be glad you did...."

I expected the other posts to be spotted at any time, I don't know if they were or not.

Since NWC is made up of three states, the odds needed to be evened up. So I clued in TEXAS, NEW YORK, VIRGINIA, KANSAS, and the INTERNATIONAL CHAPTER...

In other words - SANDBAGGING!!!

Pity it wasn't more lively, that would have been fun. I could even accept losing with grace if NWC had backed Proeliator by branching off in the same way to FLORIDA and other chapters...





Oh well. Time to put party hats on and think of something else.....


FOUR WINS! Next bet, please....

I think we have 3 guys from Idaho...so its really like 2 states + 3 guys. Most of the state is trees, or sagebrush. Heck, Texas is bigger than our 2 states + 3 guys.

Thank you for the info....

I expect TN will do all right, even if only 4 guys make it to meets.

At least your not a zombie yet... you came back to catch that remark of mine.

I'm pushing 60 hour weeks... future is looking an awful lot like 80+ hour weeks. I can feel for you.
