The BMG Award - Still Bleggin'!

2006-02-11T15:11:41Z

The vote bleg continues, and will through the 15th. But what better way to bribe than with archival Gun Pr0n? Especially since I'm on the road and producing new Gun Pr0n is a challenge. Many Castle readers are new, or, newer, and so haven't seen some of this stuff. Hey - I know I don't routinely dig through a blogger's archives without a reason - I don't expect that you would.

As mentioned in this post, I'm still shilling for votes in the Gunnies - the Best Gun Blog competition.

It's working. We're at number 3 and holding, too. But Kim can be a devious sort, and may unleash a horde of minions, who knows.

To help justify the bleg, I've offering up stuff from the archives, today however - something new - the litt'lest Castle Firearm, our Webley .25 Automatic.

One with a completely unsubstantiated (but passed down through the family) history, and plausible, so we like it. But the story is the subject of a Future Post.

Because of stuff like this, we think you should vote for us! Early and often! <===Click that link! Once a day, every day! From home *and* work! At Internet Cafes! We think The BMG Trophy would look good on an Arsenal Bookshelf... but the only way *that's* gonna happen is if I steal it - unless you guys get really busy and start doing what Bill's been doing- borrowing other people's computers... of course, that would be wrong.

V29- I understand how this works, mostly. Which is not to say well enough to explain it. When you do the "next round" stuff, you are watching a mathematic projection of the results if voting continued *exactly* with the distribution that exists at the time your vote was recorded. The subsequent round takes the vote distribution resulting from iteration and applies it to another iteration - dropping out the lowest candidate each time. That said - voting is probably running too long. But c'mon, don't quit now, only 4 more days to go...

And, Owen, like it or not, in *this* country, it's the Dems who have a lock on vote tampering.

Yo, V29 - Read *all* of the instructions to see how it works--it operates on projections. And once you've figured it out, explain it to me...

The voting on this thing is soooooooooooooo bogus. Mr Completely must have a hundred guys voting thrice a day to take such a lead. I'm done, lessen we can use some of that hardware you have in the friggin basement. I smell a rat in the voting process!!!

Owen - good point. Come back tomorrow. I'll gin up something. I've been busy, helping Mr. Rumsfeld with his war... 8^)

Hi John and CW4, remember me? I still look in from time to time hoping to participate in some sort of gun quiz, but can never find them. Am I missing something? There's plenty of other good gun stuff, though, so naturally I voted for you, especially since I've never heard of those other sites. PS It's amusing to hear all you Republicans discussing your multiple-voting techniques. Roll on November, eh?

Actually I have a cable modem, but I have router in front of it. Perhaps that's why it lets me vote multiple times?

I think you dial up types get a new IP addy each time you log in, and so you can vote more than once. At home, I'd have to disconnect the cable modem and force a new IP to make that happen - and even then might get the same IP again, the way things are assigned. But I've been voting from multiple machines, between work and home, every day!

I'm voting 2 or 3 times a day. Doesn't seem to make much difference? Where is everybody else?

And, according to the way the voting's set up, you aren't limited to once a day, either. *Now* where'd that laptop disappear to-- Jake! If you're voting for Head's Bunker again, I'll kick your keister from here to the koi pond!

I do *not* borrow other people's computers. I leave them exactly where they're placed. Ummmmm--except for the laptops...
