Update [2006-7-30 2:12:59 by Apricot]: Your many (30,000+) votes have upset the server and caused very annoying data corruption. So, I'm going to have to call off this round for official results until another time I can properly support and wrestle with the server. I'll leave it up, but it will probably continue to need resetting in this annoying way. :(

Okay, it's clearly time for another round of Moneybutt.  This began as an attempt to quantitatively rate people's butts, but has grown, like a strange mold, into something bigger.

In short:

• You vote on choices between two entities.  
  
• Every few votes, you get a special choice... sometimes you're forced to rate pairs against pairs, other times Moneybutt tries to give you a painful choice.
  
• It's free. Vote as much as you like, using whatever criteria you like.  
  
• You get little badges for voting a lot. Voters are listed in order of number of votes.
  
• You can limit your voting to certain categories, like "Oakland A's" or "Men" or "Women" (or combinations).  You can even edit your prefs to never see entities from categories, e.g. "Gross".  (Now why would we need a feature like that?)
  
• You are encouraged to add new pictures for existing entities.
  
• You are encouraged to add new entities.  PG images only please, and try to link only to the bigger websites. You should put your new entity into the right categories as well. Seeing people's added pictures and entities is my favorite part.
  
• There isn't much documentation, but you should be able to figure things out clicking around the top area of the page.
  
• The website is linked at http://owlmelon.com/moneybutt
• I turned off the game for a while because it was maxing out my server limits, but I've got a new server now, so do your worst. Heh heh.

The current rankings of A's related entities are posted below. But since the last vote (Thanksgiving 2005), AN has gained a lot of different people whose opinions may be different. I will post the new rankings sometime after the weekend of Aug 5 (depending on when I can get net access on the road!).

Good luck!
