LAST CALL FOR GERMANY

Dear Germans, I know, it´s 1:20 AM and the country´s already asleep.

But would you please WAKE UP!!

We have a mission here. You can sleep when you´re dead!

It's only 00:23 here in England - plenty of time to get us ahead of the Canadians!!!

Just got back from the pub and not sure what to do before crashing into bed? Vote for England!

I believe the closing time is shown at the top of the poll and it has calculated the local time from where you are logged in from.

I knew it! (Okay, only concerning the time, but behind is still behind!!!)

Thank you, now I can see it. I´ve just come back from a concert. I can hardly hear anything and I´m a little tired. I think I won´t make it till 3:34 AM. That would be two more hours.

I can't help feeling we're going to be bombarded with a bunch of last second votes.........

That´s mean!!!!!! Now I won´t be able to sleep anymore. Maybe I should create some new MR accounts using typical German nicks such as Heidi or Mausi and vote for Germany myself

OK, it's a sneaky way of asking how many MR members are actively registered here.

So now we have 222 members that have voted, an increase of just 12 from my earlier post above when there were 210 members who had voted!

Booooooo. I´m the undercover-voter!

If it was me, they would´ve voted for Germany. Would you please check this so that my innocence can be proved.

Yeah, you're right, it's a coincident!

ravenne · 01-30-2009, 08:24 PM

I´ve just checked the German section. No one awake I could force to vote, so in the end we´ll probably have 9 Germans. Thanks for voting, guys!!

Thanks again for the poll, DG. I had sooooo much fun.

I´m already looking forward to your next one. And I really gotta go to bed now.

lilac_jive · 01-30-2009, 08:49 PM

Yikes we're on the final stretch!

desertgrandma · 01-30-2009, 09:07 PM

HEY! Now who's clicking the "not of this earth" category??

Mods, we may have some really far out new members........

desertgrandma · 01-30-2009, 09:23 PM

May I ask who the mod was who inserted "India"?

Wetdogeared · 01-30-2009, 09:39 PM

It says the poll is closed. Thanks to all the Canadians who participated.

desertgrandma · 01-30-2009, 09:43 PM

Well, the rollercoaster ride is over. A good time was had by all, especially Ravenne and Sparrow. I won't include the US in the following medals.....the span is too high

Gold.......CANADA

Silver......ENGLAND

Bronze....FRANCE

So, what did we learn from this, besides the fact that we had 224 votes, and Ravenne would bribe anyone with anything to get votes for Germany?

Of the 30 countries represented, we have members who participated in all but two. Russia and the Czech Republic were sadly missed. All in all , and outstanding success.

The "Not Of This Earth" Category evidently has 5 members. I count one for Marc, and therefore we have 4 members posting from outer space.

If you ever think the world is too large for people to get along, just come back to this poll.. Read some of the posts. LOOK at the countries represented. And most of all, look at MobileRead. They've brought people from so many different countries together, not just to discuss books and tech stuff, but to discuss, reasonably, just about any subject.

Thank you, everyone, for the laughs and giggles.
