October Ramble Runoff Poll

I can't believe this was an actual tie. Here's our runoff poll!

Also I hear you guys, I feel bad that people missed the first poll cutoff. I won't use that end-date feature anymore, the cutoffs are more like guidelines anyway.

That said, please submit your runoff votes before midnight of the 5th!

Whoever's submitting post-mortem votes in honor of Droid Pajamas & Ghost Socks shall not undo the Dark Ritual. This isn't Florida, people!

I have 8,473 pieces of documented evidence that Vladimir Putin and the Russians have tampered with this poll! I demand an immediate investigation!

Steve Ray · November 9, 2018

As is well known, many Russian models have been trying to learn the secrets of Jenny's fashion sense, which would explain the unusual persistence of the Style Guide vote count. But despite Putin's prurient probing, the Animal Topics Coalition mobilized enough honest votes to secure victory for the true Ramble and save Democracy.

Even though I know the voting has closed, I voted anyways just to see the results. That's right, I committed election fraud. What can I say? I'm a rebel.

S
Steve Ray · November 9, 2018

So long as you've voted with the majority, it's defined not as "election fraud," but as "being part of something greater than yourself."

Yes, in the absences of mandatory recount requirements & any obvious litigation mechanism this is a time for all patreons to harmoniously come together and admit one side was wrong all along

bummer... i wanted fashion tips from jenny. i sad now.

Élan Botkin · November 6, 2018

Yes. time 2 take down.

S
Steve Ray · November 6, 2018

And at 381 votes, it's *still* not a tie! It's 191 Dark Rituals to 190 Style Guide.

This is the Election Day cliffhanger that has me at the edge of my seat!

Élan Botkin · November 6, 2018

Come on style guide people this is your chance to do something with your life. Swing this vote!

S
Steve Ray · November 6, 2018

And at 379 votes, it's not really a tie.

S
Steve Ray · November 6, 2018

It was at 51-49 for Dark Rituals for a solid 8 hours after midnight Pacific, and we know Jenny is a friend of freedom and fair play, so at the very least we can expect a combined Ramble, or more likely, a Dark Ritual that involves dressing up like her.

T. Fazekas · November 6, 2018

NNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! (Please visualize Darth Vader meme) Seeing as it’s Election Day I concede to the will of the people. However if Jenny wanted to pull a Palpatine style overthrow of democracy I won’t object...

S
Shawn Hunt · November 6, 2018

If anyone can think of a creative way to combine these two topics, it’s Jenny!

M
Michael Puckett · November 6, 2018

Maybe it can be a dark internet ritual to conjure up a look book

D
Dundough Breadbox · November 6, 2018

Jeez! 50 to 49 percent? I don’t know if it can still change after official time runs out, but dang.

S
Steve Ray · November 6, 2018

Well, Jenny makes the rules, but she can easily see her Patreons have voted for common-sense demon control, so Dark Rituals are coming to help us all!

T. Fazekas · November 5, 2018

Style Over Salvation is the title of my autobiography. Chapter one, page one “Fighting the Dark Ritual Demon Hoards Released by the Internet.” We can unleash hell next month, and when we do we will look better doing it because we saw the style guide this month. The forces of evil will not yield to someone wearing beige. It’s simple math people!

Tom Bowling · November 5, 2018

"What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky. The subtle tongue, the sophist guile, they fail when the broadswords sing."

T
T. Fazekas · November 5, 2018

Fear not the extra fees this policy of demon appeasement must be opposed! Style is more than just fashion it’s a joie de vivre!

S
Steve Ray · November 5, 2018

What profits anyone to gain a photo spread in the Daily Mail, yet lose their soul to a demon? T. Fazekas would have us choose Style over Salvation...I say reject the brief fun of his joie de mourir and gain the LIFE-saving skill of a Dark Ritual, to keep the darkness at bay.

T. Fazekas · November 5, 2018

I’ve heard whispers that some people are worried that if they vote for the Style Guide an additional charge will appear on their Paetreon because of the trademark. I’ve called Steve Paetreon and he said that is simply not true.

S
Steve Ray · November 5, 2018

It's not true until the next round of Patreon billing. If you haven't changed your vote back to the economical Dark Ritual by the end of the poll, come December 1 you'll be facing a $78 surcharge that goes straight to Patreon -- Jenny gets NONE of it.

R
Ryan · November 5, 2018

I'm so torn. I want them both so much

S
Shaun Cheah · November 4, 2018

If I did the math right, if literally four people switch their votes to the Style Guide, it'll take the lead. This is too close; it's unbearable.

J
Joe Joe · November 4, 2018

I really want the Jenny Style Guide! It's trademarked! Who wouldn't want in on the secrets?

E
Eric MacMillan · November 4, 2018

Come on Style Guide I believe in you!

G
Greg McDaniel · November 9, 2018

Whoa, sir. You can't campaign so close to the polling area. That's electioneering. Not cool.

J
Jewel Jackson · November 4, 2018

I have no real two cents to offer. I am just really happy with the decisions I made leading up to voluntarily cast my cash in her direction so I could be apart of this. The modern day and age is fantastic. What a good idea.

D
Dundough Breadbox · November 4, 2018

This one hurt. Which one will we want?

S
Steve Ray · November 4, 2018

Dark Rituals are safer, because if we don't support Dark Rituals, any demons summoned thereby will hold a grudge and take it out on us. It's like Roko's Basilisk, but spooky.

T
T. Fazekas · November 4, 2018

I think a fair compromise would be a dark internet ritual that increases the size of all the plush Porgs in your own home.

T
Tom Bowling · November 3, 2018

I may switch my vote because what would be the point of a style guide. Jenny would still look pretty even if she wore a burlap sack.

S
Shaun Cheah · November 3, 2018

It was 55% and 45% yesterday and now it's 51% and 49%. There is hope yet for the Style Guide!

M
Michael Puckett · November 3, 2018

"Storyboarding" sounds like a lot of work. Let's go easy on Jenny!

S
Steve Ray · November 3, 2018

No, no, no...Jenny is amazingly good at storyboarding, practically effortless. Deciding the perfect ensemble to wear, on the other hand... now *that's* a challenge! Everyone who cares about Jenny is voting for Dark Ritual Storyboards once they learn how easy on her it is.

R
Rob Gundermann · November 3, 2018

Jenny, if we tie again, please flip my vote.

T
Tom Bowling · November 3, 2018

Jenny flips a coin. I call heads!

D
Dave Taylor · November 3, 2018

Rit-u-al! Rit-u-al! Rit-u-al!

R
Rob Gundermann · November 3, 2018

But if the Style Guide pulls ahead I'm switching my vote.

R
Rob Gundermann · November 3, 2018

I'm voting for a story-boarding because it's ahead and I want to be on the winning side.

T
Tom Bowling · November 2, 2018

I'm holding fast with the Style Guide thing. A lady who wears a banana print dress has got to be a lot of fun.

S
Shred Cadmium · November 2, 2018

Oh - it’s not going to be about e.g. When To Use Title Case and, the Oxford comma?

C
Chandler Wahrmund · November 2, 2018

But...what about the theme parks???

J
Jenny Nicholson · November 3, 2018

I thought about including the top 3 choices, but since these two were leading by a strong margin, and a true tie, I felt they had to be the contenders

anthony grey · November 2, 2018

JENNY STYLE GUIDE (TM)!!!!!

S
Shred Cadmium · November 2, 2018

Both work equally well for me! 👍 Put another way ... <i>psst</i> I gotta vote going spare if anyone has Strong Views... 😉🗳🔄

Steve Ray · November 3, 2018

The Animal Topics Coalition endorses the Dark Ritual, since Hide-and-Seek Alone specifically tells people to use stuffed *animals* as host vessels for playful demons.
