Due to some trouble with the results of the 200k Editathon taking over a week (and over the length of the entire editathon), these rules will be in effect for any future editathons with prizes that are hosted by me.
 * Voting will take place for 3 days from the end of the editathon. After the 3 days, it is what it is.
 * Votes can only be cast by active staff, defined as staff that are on the Active users list with at least 40 actions (so you can't just edit your user page a few times and say "hey, I can vote!").
 * Votes should be cast only among staff, to not hurt feelings of any editors (and so editors don't pester staff who voted against them). A voter can share their vote with non-staff if desired, but they cannot share the votes of others without permission. The "score" should also be confidential to prevent process of elimination.
 * In the event of a tie, any voters for who voted for editors that were not in the tie have 2 days to revote. If it is still a tie, whoever is providing the prize has the right to choose the winner. In the event the provider of the prize is unqualified to vote (see 2nd point), the winner is whoever declares "I am the winner!" (via IRC, talk page, etc) first (yes, this is in fact a Dragon Ball reference).
