I agree with JSWolf that while there's plenty of translations already available for the Verne, many are flawed and since a new one is apparently coming out soon, it just seems like it'd be better if we waited for Verne so that we could each choose whether we wanted to read that version or another. As it is now, if Verne wins and someone wanted the new translation, that person would have a choice between just choosing another translation that may not be as good or not participating in the month. More choice is always better and in a later month there'd be more choice for the Verne. And, the loser today will go on to compete in the second-chance month, which sounds like a perfect time for Verne to win.
