Okay. What about if the mod team suddenly gets into presuppositional apologetics and changes the forum rules to be more in line with a modern rendering of Mosaic law?

And the decision will be based entirely on user votes? No Mod influence at all?

With our luck there will be a three way tie and Gnarly will want to restart the contest over and over again ad infunitum.

In the highly unlikely event of a tie I would probably just make a poll thread

but please keep complaining about things that probably won't happen

So a thread can't win if it is about the contest but what if we don't make a specific promise but start a thread that says probate psyopmonkey and people just assume, can it win?

If it's not already it certainly should be. On an unrelated note, I'm a slightly disappointed gnarly busted his ban-cherry on mooseface, but I guess you have to start somewhere

For the silly one-vote-5.0-buzzer-beater scenario I figured only threads with enough votes to show the rating ought to be eligible. I think the threshold is only 15 in GBS. Being able to see the ratings would make a tight race more, well "exciting" might be an overstatement, but "interesting" for sure. gnarly makes the rules though, just an idea! Good luck, GBS.
