first off, let me point out that Board 8 was a physical place for most of my dream. kind of like a market place, but more of a sense of community. most of you were in physical form, though I can't comment on what you "looked like", it didn't much work like that.
as the voting began my hopes were very, very slender. the universal expectation was that I was done for. the early votes coming in suggested I had a good chance to get close to the 50% threshold, but no more. I encouraged those of you who were obviously my supporters to vote stuff on my behalf but they didn't listen. nor did I succumb to the temptation to vote stuff on my own when nobody was looking.
part iii coming soon
