Vote Update

Events in Second Life happen a lot faster than in real life.

The final votes for the election of an official town deity are already in. Here’s the totals. Prepare to be surprised.

Carrcassonnee – 22 votes
The Bobs – 18 votes
Boxy Brown – 14 votes
Master Shake – 12 votes
Jesus – 10 votes
Little Climbing Light – 9 votes
Minerva/Athena – 2 votes
Rodin’s The Thinker – 2 votes
Star Trek’s Data (write in) – 1 vote

Here is the swinger. In a last ditch campaign speech atop the Toxic Art Gallery, Carrcassonnee promises to unite the yin and yang elements of Collagesity by reacquiring her Eye and becoming All Seeing again. On a dirtier and uncleaner side she exposed the past between Master Shake and Boxy Brown, and possible racial slurs on both sides. She states that race should not be a factor in the election, and then jokes that this is true even if the election itself is a race. This rather offcolor joke cost her votes to The Bobs, who raced up the voting from the absolute basement (no votes) to claim the number 2 spot with 18 votes. As reconciliation, Carrcassonnee has promised that The Bobs will have an important position in the new town government, which remains to be named.

Now what about that Eye?

“Don’t say it.”

And I say that because it wasn’t aired. For a reason. But just know this is what it is.

When Master Shake is bitten, the bite mark switches from side to side due to the animation sequence of flipping the character horizontally and using the same character model during production; however if he were to be a three-dimensional model, the bite mark would not transfer as such.

Balancing out Collagesity?:

Hucka D.:

The townspeople have voted against a second Temple of Choice atop the Toxic Art Gallery. Thankfully.

bb:

But it seems a symptom of the town’s perfect balance as it is, Hucka D. The choices I make from now on are either/or, at least at this stage( in town history). Like the decision to insert the Sam Parr collage series into the basement of the Red Umbrella was an either/or. There are 2 Sam Parr series in Collagesity now, since the collages within the Sam Parr building remain. There are good reasons for the positioning of each one. From now on we enter a territory where it is unclear whether something is black (good) or white (bad).

Hucka D.:

Good.

A cold…

… day here in Blue Mountain, Hucka D.

Hucka D.:

I’m in Second Life. What do I care?

bb:

Nice.

Hucka D.:

We have a count on the town deity vote if you’re logging in to find that out.

bb:

Great. What is it?

Hucka D.:

Guess.

bb:

Guess who’s in the lead?

Hucka D.:

Yeah.

bb:

Um, Boxy Brown.

Hucka D.:

Yes. 12 votes. I’ll go ahead and list the others out. Carrcassonnee is second with 10 — a surprise. Actually Carr. is tied with Master Shake for second with 10. Then Jesus with 9, Little Climbing Light with 6, Rodin The Thinker and Minerva tied with 2, and then The Bobs didn’t receive any votes but perhaps that’s because townspeople didn’t know they were part of the contest because they’re further up in the air and at the entrance.

bb:

Maybe the one with the least votes should actually win. Maybe it’s best if you really don’t like the deity you worship. The tough God is the best God kind of idea.

Hucka D. (dismissing):

Naah.

bb:

So if the vote stands, Boxy Brown will replace Carrcassonnee as town deity to be worshippped by all. And then the Temple of Choice will be no more because we have chosen — the people have spoken.

Hucka D. (dismissing again):

Naah.

bb:

Well, what is the plan?

Hucka D.:

Don’t tell this to anyone — and you might want to make this particular post private (note: later Hucka D. indicated this privacy wasn’t needed) — but there will be 4 winners, and we plan to rig the vote… did I say rig? What I meant was that there will be 4 winners and I’ll leave it at that.

bb:

And so, as I’m counting, 4 losers then.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

I think I might know what’s going on. There’s something about Master Shake and Boxy Brown being on opposite ends of the temple’s long axis, staring at each other; a contest. They are…

Hucka D.:

Don’t say it.

bb:

The *y* and the *I*, then.

Hucka D.:

Yes.

bb:

On one end we have Tyle, in effect. On the other: TILE.

Hucka D.:

Put the symbol up.

TAICHI-TU

One begins or is seeded when the other ends or is maximized.

bb:

So this is…

Hucka D. (repeating):

Don’t say it. And I say that because it wasn’t aired. For a reason. But just know this is what it is.

bb:

Well, this is obviously Jasper on one side and Newton on the other. The Perpetually Bickering Twins. PBTs. And that map( of Jasper County with Newton seat) is in all the prime core galleries now, Hucka D. So this seems very important. This is Jasper speaking again through collage, but a 3d collage of Second Life objects in a temple setting this time and not a gallery setting.
