Also, before voting, please TAKE CARE TO READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS.
They aren't just for everyone else. Feel free to post your ballot to AUK
only, if you like, or just to AUK and your own group -- the nine-group
x-post is strictly to expedite matters -- but alt.usenet.kooks *must* be
in the groups line.

I was busily flonking away in alt.usenet.kooks, when The Goddess Eris
Herself suddenly made me reply to Friendly Neighbourhood Pollster:

Here follows the official ballot for the alt.usenet.kooks Kook Chess
Set. Anybody may vote, but your votes may be disqualified at the
Pollster's discretion if:

* you are a previous winner of Kook of the Month or the Bobo Award
* you attempt to vote twice
* you vote anonymously or with an unidentified sockpuppet
* you vote for or against yourself
* you vote in a thread other than this one
* you vote in a newsgroup other than AUK without crossposting to AUK
* you vote in a follow-up to an incomplete or altered version of the
ballot
* you have officially been declared non-existent
* you are a notorious fuckwit

Crossposting the complete, unaltered ballot is permitted and
encouraged. You have until 12:00 noon GMT on October 31st to cast your
votes.
