What's Not Eligible?

This is a really hard tie to break guys. Why'd you have to do this to me guys? Backwoods Douser's cute, so I'd feel worst if it lost. I'm going with that one.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but we should probably figure out a different method for breaking ties (like a runoff where folks get a single vote, for instance).
From an optics perspective, it's weird when a design that you submitted from your contest gets the tiebreaker vote (even if you didn't vote in the original post).

I dunno, I vote for designs I nominated all the time, and the only real difference here is that TP's making his vote public. (and he only gets one.) if he was also voting normally then yeah, it'd look like favoritism, but as-is the designs TP supports are actually slightly less likely to win, so it doesn't really read as unfair to me.

That's valid. I think I misremembered if TP votes in the original and added that as an afterthought. Definitely not trying to pin anything on TP because I appreciate all the hard work that goes into these threads.

if it helps, back when I was running PT the mods gave me the ability to see who voted in polls to prevent cheating, so I can always confirm that TP didn't vote in any given poll if needed.
