     I WOULD LIKE TO PLACE MY VOTE FOR TWO SHADOWS AS MEMBER OF THE YEAR--EVEN THOUGH IT IS A CLOSE CALL!
         
                                THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR EFFORTS--THE TEMPLAR

[Nighthawk]

NEVOL!

[CoinCrusader42]

Come on Knights and Knightesses.

Four percent of the membership has voted.  We can do better.

For all his help with my pictures

Note:  OldDan requests his name be withdrawn from the election.

We respectfully do so.

BTW, More votes are coming in.  Hopefully more will be cast on Sunday.

I think we all need a clarification of the procedures involved when a candidate withdraws from the contest? I am sure there were members who have cast their votes for Old Dan so do these folks now have the opportunity to vote again? I/We will await a reply and shouldn't the election now go through Monday evening so everyone has a chance to see what has transpired and act accordingly. Just want to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity to get their vote in and be counted. Any thoughts on this?

[Nevol]

Twoshadows!   

[CoinCrusader42]

Terry,

I agree with you.

OldDan did have votes, and those members should be given an extra day.

So, let's make it Monday at midnight MST.

We currently have 12 votes, and with an extra day we should do even better.

BTW, this is a very close election!!

 

[CoinCrusader42]

Those who haven't voted now have Monday.

Our current vote couldn't be much tighter.

Cast your vote!!

It's approaching midnight in the Rockies, and past my bedtime.  So allow me to wrap up the 2009 election for "Member of the Year."

The winner this year is Twoshadows, our founder.

Twoshadows won with eight votes.

Paint Your Wagon and Nevol tied for second place with four votes each.

Twoshadows now joins Daniel Carr and TKO as winners of our highest honor.

Thanks to all who voted, and congratulations to Twoshadows.

 

[Tobyle]

Congratulations Twoshadows ....... and to the 2 'runners up' as well!

[Paint Your Wagon]

Congrats to our fearless primus interparis ( first amongst equals )
and I will shake your hand Nevol and thank all that voted for anybody

[Nighthawk]

Congrats, Terry! 

[Humpybong]

Congratulations Terry, well deserved.

[Triggersmob]

All deserved it, but there can only be one winner.
Congratulations to Twoshadows.
Well done to the runners up.

[Pocketcoins]

Congratulations Twoshadows and to the runners up also. There is always next year. 

[TwoShadows]

Thanks to all of you and your kind words.  I must say as time goes by I find it increasingly difficult to pin an award on anyone here as there are so many good people frequenting our castle. Simply outstanding Knights and Knightesses from all over the world who are just as responsible for the castle as I am. We are the result of one another!  Many of you are like trusted family members instead of forum members. My only regrets, at this time, is the mere fact I don't have the financial means to meet each and every oneof you. Maye someday I can take a long trip and shake some hands and tell a few tales. It would be a vacation I would never forget! Most of the U.S., Australia, Belgium, Canada, Turkey, Egypt and a few other European countries that have slipped my old mind! Guess my book needs to do really well to plan such a trip!!!

[Templar]

             CONGRATULATIONS TWO SHADOWS ON YOUR SELECTION--AS  YOU SAID,AFTER A WHILE IT IS LIKE BEING IN A BIG FAMILY EVEN THOUGH WE ARE SPREAD ALL OVER THE WORLD.

                         YOUR SERVANT AND FRIEND--THE TEMPLAR

[Nevol]

Congratulations Terry.     A very well deserved win indeed! 

Thanks to everyone who participated, and thanks to Gary for running the election.   

[Nighthawk]

Thanks Gary!     

[CoinCrusader42]

My pleasure.

I just think it's important to do this.

I hope we continue it in future years.
