Believe he's requested that all votes be cast within the format of this designated thread to stimulate interest and provide encouragement to those who've submitted entries. >sfat

I had much the same thought, some two-building complex next to a sporting arena. Anyway, we'd better stop this, we're messing up Silverstriker's voting thread. Sorry SS.

My vote:

5 Points: 7
3 points: 5
1 point: 8

EDIT: The overall quality I found very high, and voting difficult, due to the high differences in the style and aim of the entries.

Never heard of it, Sir Mike. What I hope Santa Claus will bring Christmas, 2012, besides the usual lumps of coal, is an updated
version of Modern Chess Openings. Dog-earred one on the side table is MCO-15, Copyright @2008 by Nick de Firmian. >sfat

Definitely. All of us know you'll do so objectively and without partiality.

#1 - Hotel Anywhere (entry #3) - beautiful imagery
#2 - A night on the Rocks (entry #8) - I can only imagine what a "pillock" is.
#3 - The Crawling Spring of Times (entry #6) - to all the spiders whose webs cross my bike path and end up stuck to me and my bike.

Since you're not actually judging you are entitled to a vote. You probably shouldn't declare your vote until after the voting has closed. Then your unconscious and unintential bias, if you have any, can't possibly change the overall result.
