<NintendoGuru> the one I like is coming up
<SevMan> cut
<johncook> Cinga: well, the long answer is Burger Girl is a combination of a lot of people I've known plus a few fictional elements I've added myself...
<johncook> ...the short answer is yes
<Cinga> :)
<SevMan> we already knew that, didn't we

<SevMan> Taktaal, are you still there?
<johncook> Note: FAKE is out of the running. If I'd realised at the time that it was already used in another strip, I wouldn't have let it in the finalists now
<SevMan> I like FAKE best
<lizzyc> :(
<Cinga> Taktaal, if you wanna stay awake, use coffee, not LSD
<NintendoGuru> haha
<Majel>  SevMan asks about THINK.

<Agent-D> trouble Tak?
<johncook> lizzyc:  http://www.sev.com.au/toonzone/pits/pitscomp/comp118.htm
<NintendoGuru> we cut all the others?
<_Taktaal> vote4 think
<NintendoGuru> oh well
<SevMan> FAKE is really out?
<lizzyc> thanks
<_Taktaal> damn connection
<NintendoGuru> vote4 think
<johncook> vote4 think
<lizzyc> vote4 think
<Cinga> vote4 fake
<SevMan> vote4 fake
<_Taktaal> Sevman, can you kick the wrong Taktaal?
<johncook> yes, my apologies but just as we started voted, I thought "fake sounds very familiar"
*** Taktaal was kicked by SevMan (SevMan)
<Agent-D> vote4 think
<johncook> I had a look at the archives and noticed to my horror that we'd already used a punchline VERYsimilar
<SevMan> johncook, does it matter?
<johncook> We couldn't use the same joke again - not in the same storyline - it's redundant humor (yes, it matters a lot)
<Majel>  Here is the final vote by the Sevilian jury:
<Majel>  FAKE scored 2 vote(s).
<Majel>  THINK scored 5 vote(s).
<Majel>  Casted votes: 7 Judges present: 7 High/Low: 5/0
<Cinga> who was the wrong taktaal?
<Agent-D> it does when it's in the same storyline
<johncook> sorry dudes
<lizzyc> I see where you're getting that, John
<SevMan> it don't see how it matters, but THINK wins anyway
<johncook> maybe if it was a year ago I could get away with it but not just several weeks apart from each other
<johncook> cool. I guess we're done then
<_Taktaal> Cinga: the one with the broken connection
<lizzyc> I won!!!
<lizzyc> yeah!!!
<NintendoGuru> just under an hours
<Agent-D> A running gag is all well and good, but a running one liner isn't very funny when it's always used to end the scene, foolw?
<Majel>  Now in OFF mode.
<NintendoGuru> congrats lizzy :D
<Cinga> wait a moment... taktaal and I are supposed to have nearly identical IPs... you're not taktaal
<lizzyc> thanks NintendoGuru
<SevMan> johncook, question
<NintendoGuru> yeah, Lance fakes it too much :P
<johncook> yes?
<SevMan> Seeing there's only 1 week left, are there any potential winner for the Sev Wars Poster Competition?
<Cinga> or am I getting it wrong again?
<_Taktaal> Cinga: I'm using the Sunrise POP, which runs on Linux
<Agent-D> oh, now what?
<johncook> sevman: no, noone yet - I'm gonna have to have a look at that soon
<Cinga> ...ah...
<lizzyc> thank's for letting me win for the first time, guys!!! I'm very happy right now, but I have to go!!!  BYE!!!
<_Taktaal> the Swisscom server runs on Windows NT and does a different kind of adressing
<johncook> I gotta go sevilians, I have to do more sketches for the animator (storyboards to be precise)
<Agent-D> well, that two wins under my belt now
<johncook> sevutations!
<Majel>  Now in OFF mode.
