I know I'm early and if I suddenly choose to fiddle then I may do a late switcheroo but I probably won't

Congrats Val

Is now a good time to mention that we've recently (yesterday ) been discussing doing away with voting anyway since it's basically just the three of us ever participating, and mostly only you, Val? What do you think of doing away with votes and wins and just keep running challenges for the fun anyway?

Thank you!

Life... *Jeff Goldblum grunt* ...finds a way.

Secret mod discussions?!
You want me to vote on voting?

I vote for Banj's suggestion.
No, wait- I've changed my mind.
I vote for Charlotte's suggestion.

we are like the Inebriati planning everything behind the scenes... but with slightly less alcohol 

Well, it was my suggestion to ditch the voting, not that Banj objected... much.

and yes we have secret mod discussions - it's how we desperately come up with new challenge themes.

I'm pretty sure we have no alcohol behind the scenes. Or if we do, Banj hogs all of it.

(Which is just as well, as most alcohol is carbs and that's not good when you're diabetic, and the stuff that isn't, isn't my kind of stuff anyway...)
