Yes, because if it wasn't for the lulz you'd have a legitimate chance. We let anyone enter the competition and we talked about those who did in staff. We based our decision on that internal discussion, but also used the first round as a means to satisfy our own judgments. No one ever said this was going to be a free and open process. We want to have a little fun (SURPRISE!) by making a competition out of a normally infuriating process. The last CK nominees thread in staff was over 500 posts.
