(The visual of Tingle ripping off his mask to reveal... Vox!... is inducing even more giggling.) It's an obvious pseudonym, after all. Can anyone who has read SRBI plus Vox's fiction comment on whether this is plausible?jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007776560535676200.post-36296741436830574732016-05-12T15:31:57.793-04:002016-05-12T15:31:57.793-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Eneaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500232958398471146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007776560535676200.post-75603150882871586362016-05-12T15:30:19.015-04:002016-05-12T15:30:19.015-04:00:) Sounds good!:) Sounds good!Eneaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500232958398471146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007776560535676200.post-3333420707825388192016-05-12T10:53:28.234-04:002016-05-12T10:53:28.234-04:00On further reflection, putting my predictive chips...On further reflection, putting my predictive chips on SRBI is affecting my objectivity.<br /><br />So.

I'm checking often, and catching up on back posts. One thing I would like to point out... while there is a lot of the game still to come, and you may be correct that ultimately this might end up not being a traditional-WorldCon-goer "victory", it is a very far cry from your previous prediction that:<br /><br />"If, somehow, SRBI makes it onto the ballot, the Hugos will lose all pretense of credibility. Let me make this clear: if you care about the Hugos, then your number one priority this year is ensuring that Space Raptor Butt Invasion does not make it onto the ballot" <br />and "we can't rule out an open Rabid Puppy victory. And if that open Rabid Puppy victory should be Space Raptor Butt Invasion or SJWs Always Lie, then God have mercy on our souls"<br /><br />ended up being very far off the mark.Eneaszhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500232958398471146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9007776560535676200.post-82546271013308140432016-05-11T13:11:30.261-04:002016-05-11T13:11:30.261-04:00I haven't thought much about any of the nomine...I haven't thought much about any of the nominees, because I'm waiting for the Hugo packet.
