Yeah I counted Ribbons - it was mainly in case your listed BlogNomic coauthors
were actually planning to register as an invasion.  If it was just current 
players
to worry about, it wouldn't have been worth knocking out some of the other 
voters (e.g. Trigon, Corona, VJ Rada).

It'd probably make more sense to withdraw the proposal, in that case
(so that any potential troublemakers don't have an already-pending
proposal to use). There are quite a few scams I've run in the past
where I needed help from an existing pending proposal to make the scam
work (sometimes I planted it myself, sometimes someone else helpfully
submitted one).

Oh for the love of the light. Good one, you had me worried there. Are you
actually going to retract it so we can stand down the disruptive anti-scam
measure (e.g. the festival)?

Now that April Fools Day is over (in UTC, anyway), I would like to make clear 
that I have no intention of voting for this proposal. The caution probably 
warranted, however.

I'll register to support this if there aren't enough active/willing
players to get the support otherwise.
