Subject: VOTE NOW - avatar for losers

OK, after looking at my Failure avatar for just one day, I've decided this place would be depressing if 50+ people had Failure avatars.

So, I put I want to put an avatar suggestion to a vote:

Can losers have the option of either changing their avatar to either a Failure avatar (or whichever loser avatar is ultimately chosen) or a Speedo pic/avatar of the participant (similar to what the guys had to do this summer)?

A NO vote means the losers MUST use the Failure avatar.

A YES vote means the losers can chose between the Failure avatar or changing their avatar to a pic of themselves in their Speedo swimsuit.

In order for this vote to be valid, a quorum of 2/3 of Swim Challenge participants must vote.

Please do not vote if you are not participating in the Swim Challenge. Thanks for honoring the honor system.

As Renee states, the idea of 50+ people with the same Failure avatar is depressing, but the whole speedo thing needs to not happen again. Please, don't let it happen again.

There's another option, which is to let people choose from a few different failure avatars. How about adding these to the collection?

Even if it increases the number of avatars with chicks in speedos?  The teams are co-ed ya know.

Hmm so since I am on a losing team (we likely won't reach 100-100-100 even though a number of us met or exceeded our goal) why would I want to vote? If you don't meet your quorum then what - the whole challenge results are nullified?

Just joking - what ever you folks choose is fine with me. You might see me wearing my "speedo" over my running cap This challenge has been great - I far exceeded my monthly PB and would not have pushed myself out the door as often as I did in December. Congrats to all who came close to or met their goals!

I vote for Speedo pics. Oh wait, I'll be on a losing team (LOSERS!) so nevermind. I vote for choosing between one of the avatar options.

Still not worth it - I'm too scarred from the last round of speedo avatars.

I voted Yes -- But I also like the idea of multiple loser avatar choices. Speedo, or "failure" avatar should be fine!

I think letting them choose between several avatars would be OK.

It may take a couple of days into January before I get back to my regular computer to upload any pics. I'll keep whatever we have for 31 days (bleeding into February).

The waterwings avatar is cute, but the jackass one is the most symbolic yet to-the-point.  It gets my vote! 

The failure guy just makes me feel bad and want to say, "hey, do you need a kleenex?"

And the thought of lots of everyone in speedo's -- um, don't we get to see that often enough at the pool...no thanks.

I voted "Yes". I didn't save my butt pic for nothing. With Vonholt as our leader I say "Speedo Up".

I voted yes, but only because I do not own a speedo and this would be a good excuse to buy one and try it on and claim it was all in good fun....

Nay-sayer! 

I voted for yes, even though I'd like to not (and others would agree, I'm sure) have to post a picture of me in a speedo...

I like all of them, including Max's.  They can be comicial or self degrading or just plain whatever.  As long as it stays in the theme of "I can't swim my goal".   

of course the speedo option is included.  I'll dig out my bikini and take a pic of my ass.   maybe.....

btw, I hit mine today.  there!

You intentionally joined the challenge just so you'd have an excuse to post that avatar again, didn't you?
