Sheeped by an Alien T-Shirt Winner!

This time around we had more than twice the number of people enter our little give away, which meant that I had to do things a little differently from the last giveaway. If you remember last time, our winner was voted on by a virtual committee of 20 individuals.

This time around, we have the same 20 individuals returning, but instead of a single vote, we needed to divide our candidates into 3 groups. The committee presided over each group to come up with a semi-finalist, then all 3 semi-finalists were debated over in order to come up with our final winner.

To help facilitate the voting, I put my wizard hat on and summoned a few imaginary friends from my childhood. They call themselves Marutachi. They're a mischievous lot, but I didn't think they'd get themselves in too much trouble... but anyway, let's get back to the voting.


Group 1 consisted of Becky, Lisa and Lily... and here is how the voting went:

Vote 1

Lisa : 11
Lily : 8
Becky : 1

The winner is: Lisa in 1 round!

Lisa won in a very decisive victory! There was no need for debate at all!

Group 2 was far more contentious. The committee had to decide between McPig, Amber, and Patti. Voting required 4 separate debates! Check it out!
