Let me guess with near to 100% sureness. You picked the one from the America's.

Find me 1 american not voting for a (north-) American.

Richard obviously is 2x better than his north-American counterparts, otherwise
he wouldn't make a chance.

Actually i remember elections where there was at least 5 persons from Europe
which are up to Richard's standards.

Elections online are always a joke. In any forum i always saw mostly Americans
win.

Example suppose i would nominate these 5 :
1  Ulf Lorenz (Germany)
2  Bradley Woodward (USA)
3  Remi Coulom (France)
4  Richard Pijl (Netherlands)
5  James Tennohan (USA)

Which 3 out of 5 get picked?

With 95% sureness i can assure you it's number 2 and 5 among them. Richard is
most likely the number 1 picked, simply because of ACHIEVEMENT.

However i lied about 2 things. First lie was that Bradley is not from USA but
from Australia actually and one of the coolest guys i ever met in computerchess.
So the list is now like:
1  Ulf Lorenz (Germany)
2  Bradley Woodward (Aus)
3  Remi Coulom (France)
4  Richard Pijl (Netherlands)
5  James Tennohan (USA)

Again we go have elections.

Now i'm 100% sure number 5 will get picked. Probably Richard gets picked again
for the same reason and Remi probably gets picked as he is assistant Professor.
Ulf despite being doctor will end close.

Now lie 2. Person 5 is a name i just invented myself.
So what we have is. Ulf Lorenz. Someone whose objectivity, whatever the subject,
is without question. He is around already very long in computerchess. Remember
p.conners he wrote and nowadays involved in Hydra and organizer of the yearly
IPCCC tournament. We have Bradley who is one of the nicest guys around. We have
Remi, also someone whose objectivity in disputes is without any question. He is
around in computerchess a long time already. Has his own program TCB. We have
Richard Pijl who we all know who has a freeware program The Baron which lately
is kicking butt.

And we have someone can know nothing about but has USA behind him.

So he'll be picked.

That's what i mean.
