Well, that was close all right. NSW came in just two points ahead of Recoil.A photo finish was had indeed. NSW and War Games tying on 746; I'm giving this one to War Games because it hasn't come up yet. NSW will probably be next.
After that, I predict some more close calls; first between Recoil and Wyvern, and then between All Alone and Security!. All fun and games, folks.
1) UP TO six votes. I will not count anything extra, and a write-in will likely be ignored (if I want to write a different story, I will, but at my own discretion). Suggestions are welcome, but I am under no obligation to carry them out. And just remember, the more stories I am writing, the longer it will take for your favourites to roll back around.
2) First vote is worth six points, second is worth five, and so on.
3) You can't vote twice on the same story.First vote is the only one that counts.QQbot will count the last vote and ignore previous ones.
4) If I say "Voting is CLOSED", then this post comes up, with "Voting is OPEN" at the bottom, then you can vote again.
5) If I say "Voting will continue", it's still the same voting period. Voting has not restarted. You can not vote a second time.

Specifically: SQUARE brackets around an X, one space, and please spell at least the first word of the name of the story properly. Number of voting points comes last. Please try to format your vote properly, so as not to confuse the vote counter.
That would be impressive, if you can pull it off.I just want you to all know that I didn't try and muck with the results this time. Maybe when I get bored enough I'll try and engineer a 3-way tie, but until then...

I'm opening my votes up to the Ack Stock Exchange. If you quote this post, and vote for MirrorVerse I will give a story of your choice a vote of the corresponding value.
*phew*Well, that was close all right. NSW came in just two points ahead of Recoil.
You're right on that one. Recoil is ahead right now, 805 to 767, but it's only picked up 114 votes around on average over the last 9 votes, while Wyvern is picking up around 160. Right now it looks like Wyvern will pull ahead, but by a very thin margin -- enough for Recoil to potentially hang on to the lead. Whichever of them wins in Vote 67 will probably break the 900-vote mark in the process, and the other will break the 1k vote mark in Vote 68.I can still see Wyvern giving Recoil a hard time on the next voting round. But Security! is well ahead of All Alone, so that won't be a contest.
Thank you for not doing so. Recoil came in 26 votes ahead of last prediction, compared to NSW's only 10 votes ahead. Wouldn't have been hard to push that one way or the other.I just want you to all know that I didn't try and muck with the results this time. Maybe when I get bored enough I'll try and engineer a 3-way tie, but until then...
OK - my policy from this point is that I will copy top eligible vote of somebody who gives "I, Panacea" 6 points and quotes this post

Shit, man. I remember when I first found this thread around vote 15, it was rare we had a fic past 500 points that didn't win. Now we're racing into the thousands.Meet the Heberts gets bumped back to Vote 73, and in turn bumps Wyvern back to Vote 74. Thanks to getting bumped back a cycle, both stories look liable to break the 1k mark, with Wyvern possibly beating 1,100.

Well, it was a close-run thing between Recoil and Naked Sex World, but it looks like the smut won out this time.
Note that once the voting opens again (as of now) the votes for NSW will be brought back to zero.
Voting is OPEN. I'm off to write that chapter. Cheers.

A vote for Confrontation II. There you go.
Maybe consider making the "Ack's Vote Thread" part a link to the thread, for the uninformed.I also maintain a tracking & predicting document for Ack's Vote Thread.
