I didn't count any votes beyond the 2-point limit. While there's logic to casting missed votes, that could also mean you pop by in a week and say, "Ahhh damn, I forgot to vote since last Monday, so can you put me down for one assassination of Rich Dark Honeydew, with his brains and my condolences mailed to his mother?"

At the top of the list, nestling itself firmly in the shadows of two Stokkebye Flakes, with a couple Gawith creations trailing closely behind... is an aromatic. If you live in the UK and you felt any light tremors, ignore them - they were the mere physical byproduct of Tolkein and CS Lewis rolling about in their respective graves.

In today's update, much like Major in the Orwellian tale Animal Farm, Pegasus was seen being stuffed into the back of a truck and tearful onlookers longingly await news either of his return or his demise.

Oh, and in definitely-not-related news, Elmer's Glue just shipped out a fresh stock of a new and improved recipe, called Pegluesus to be made available at arts-and-crafts dealers near you.
