A lot of contributions... :P I have to think this over!

[Warmaster Horus]

Indeed, more than Ludens thought. Heh, more than I thought...

Also, it's "august", not "augustus".

Corrected, thanks. Maybe I was thinking about the etymology of the word .

Yes, my estimation of the number of entries was very much off. Glad that it was, though.

[Moros]

Now there only should be more voters! There ar emore entries that votes currently

[Orb]

Is it considered kosher for a contestant to vote, for their own addition or for the work of others?

[King Kurt]

Hey - great effort everybody - wish I had entered now.

Let's hope loads of people vote - the effort deserves it. All the authors should vote - they don't have to vote for themselves!!!!!!!

You see, evil poets, how you are torturing one innocent nobleman. It is not honourable and fair. Better call me on duel* but to choose the best poem... difficult, almost impossible. **

* I have several retainers hiding in the bushes.

** Yet I made higly subjective choice... But it was not easy

P.S. I am really happy I did not participate. Why?

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

I am bad poet, esp. bad poet in English

[The Stranger]

hey... why is the vote public? the poll... i mean

[Moros]

If it was not public there would obviously have been even less voters.

[The Stranger]

hehehe still lest voters than contestants... well anyway... its not that public, you need to vote before you see it... so you cant vote to break ties or create them... damn... seems like mafia :P

I can't create hidden polls. TosaInu can, but that means I'd have to wait until he gets on-line before opening the poll and announcing the winner. I thought it more important for the poll to be up for the better part of the weekend than for it to be hidden.

[The Stranger]

hmm yeah, it doesnt matter that much :) I was just wondering

[naut]

I knew a tie would happen, time to vote.

[The Stranger]

did you made the 18th post?

[naut]

Yeah, but it seems that somebody else voted to keep it a tie.

[The Stranger]

yeah so it seems :P I think it was Ludens ~ :P Close contest, I like it. I stood up extra early for this :P

No, I didn't vote since I know who the competitors are. A second poll has been opened to decide the winner.

[The Stranger]

I was joking mate :) Saw the poll, I actually hope for another tie...
