Operation Fold-A-Way - Week One Nomination Thread

Post by Apoptosis »

Right now we have 44 people that are active on the folding team out of the 193 people that have folded for the team over the years. All of these folding team members can be nominated to win one of the two platforms that we are giving away this week. If'd you'd like to nominate or 'vote' for one of these members to get the platform please post who you want to nominate here on this thread. Remember you can't vote for yourself! If there is a tie for first place or second place we will have a re-vote between just those two members and if there is a tie again I'll be flipping a coin. I put my name on the active folder list, but I'm not part of this one.

Also in order to vote you have to be on the list below!

Good luck to everyone!

I'm out as well, not that I couldn't use it, I just wouldn't be able to have it fold all the time.

I'll pass on this, even if I get randomly chosen, cause at the time I don't have the funds to complete a second system, pay the german taxes ( would be about 20% of the price) and the shipping for the parts to Hamburg.

I give my vote to Sporg

I've taken my name out of the hat too, would love the points, but can't justify leaving it on all the time.

Will have to read up on everyone's 'pick me' sob stories before I decide who is the most deserving (It's going to be tough) :P

Well, I was going to vote for vbironchef, but it seems he doesn't want to be nominated.

My nomination goes to martini161. I think he should have no problem taking care of business.
