I have two I'll throw out as possibilities:

  1. Barrister and Mann - Latha Taiga
  2. Chiseled Face - Pine Tar

Edit to add: I keep wanting to nominate more of my soaps. It's surprisingly hard to decide!

Another month, another BVWSC, another chance for nominations

Could anyone clarify how voting works exactly? Does everyone get a set number of votes, or do we order the soaps in order of preference?

[–] PorkButtsNTaters666 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's ranked choice: you give your order of preferences, and I will convert it to numberss You don't have to rank everything. Your first choice gives the soap 10 points, your second nine, etc.

Got it, thanks!

Basically PBNTs666 posts the voting thread separately, each nominated soap is a single comment. Voting doesn't work by upvotes, you'll need to clarify your choice/rank for each nomination by replying to the comments. When everyone has voted/ranked, PBNTs666 compiles the data and the soap with the best placings has won. πŸ˜‰

Edit: just saw he already answered you. Well, I repeated what he said but in different words πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I appreciate your different words as well! πŸ˜„
