No, that's not a perfectly stacked deck. If it were, Fabricate wouldn't be involved, just the Gilded Lotus directly.
Also, previous versions of the Star Jump poll (and other derived questions, even if they don't have anything to do with jumps) might not be fully conclusive... First I thought jumps can only be done in positive amounts, then people said negative jumps were possible, but then I realized that maybe this should be extended into the complex plane (because imaginary jumps could exist in concept as well)... yeah, numbers are hard to work with.
So I guess the questions would have to be split into three parts:
How many _____ ? Let z represent your answer.
Q1:
A) |z| >= 100
B) 0 < |z| < 100
C) |z| = 0
Q2:
A) Re(z) > 0
B) Re(z) = 0
C) Re(z) < 0
Q3:
A) Im(z) > 0
B) Im(z) = 0
C) Im(z) < 0
(Note: Answer to Q1 must be B C if and only if answers to Q2 and Q3 are B as well.)
@Laser: You are incorrect about that "Ans(Q1)=B <=> Ans(Q2)=B AND Ans(Q3)=B", since if Re(Z)=0 and Im(Z)=0, then |z|=sqrt((Re(Z))^2 + (Im(Z))^2))=sqrt(0^2 + 0^2)=sqrt(0)=0, and that is a contradiction with 0<|Z|<100. q.e.d.

Also modgaming Bur setups is kind of treading down a dark path
So, one example question that could go with that answer scheme would be something like "How many star jumps can you do in two minutes?"... and I think my answer tuple would be (B, A, B), while PG would probably pick (B, C, B) or maybe (A, C, A)... and Kank would probably pick (A, B, A) as he mentioned something about only doing mental jumps, not physical ones.
I have been jogging in the mornings now three days a week. It's definitely improved my general endurance.
I saw The Martian at the drive-in on Saturday night. (Yes, drive-in theaters do still exist.) Good movie! I liked it better than Gravity.
It was paired with The Visit which was way crappier than the 63% implied on Rotten Tomatoes.
I saw The Martian tonight as well. Great movie and the 3-D was well done.
On the subject of [Craftdrazi], it appears the final tally of entries is 3: Abby's knitted Artisan of Kozilek, Sharpie's paper polyhedron, and Palnar's digital(?) rendering of a red/blue Eldrazi.
Whoa whoa whoa, what kind of collusion are you talking about? We never worked on anything together, he's the one usually destroying my rooms and stuff. I'm more inclined to think he's the bad guy here... not to mention that time he refused to give me hugs without a known good reason.
...Now I have to start thinking of ideas of contests for later in case I win one of these... (I have some ideas, but they're not ideas that everyone here will be interested in doing.)
And there's an Eldrazi on the loose? Oh no! Run away!
And while playing MTG, the Plushdrazi can be used as an Eldrazi token to symbolize its relative monstrous size compared with the rest of the playing area!

(Also, you might have regained the necessary leg strength from doing all that jogging, and also the flexibility required for these...)
So now what is Bur's answer to the question about star jumps above (after including complex numbers)?

Now, on the other hand, PG and Lasersharp have been colluding on various things, so I see a possible scum team there.
I feel very confident in this:
Vote pikachugundum
Vote pikachugundam for lynching.
Vote Abby for best Eldrazi craft.

As the contest host I will abstain from voting and only do so if a tiebreaker is needed.
Voting deadline is next Monday Oct. 19, 2015 23:59 EDT. Voting is open to all active members of [The Crafters].
By the way, I'm providing a prize for our winner.

Vote Abby because she has been staring at Lasersharp's "thingie"
Oh, and because she is a true Crafter of dreams.
Still sticking to lynching pikachugundam though, for reasons stated above.
@Kank: I'm not sure Abby was really staring at it...

Ahem, a proper lady/gentleman does not stare at other people's "thingies".
...And bolding one's votes Mafia-style is most appreciated.
Is the winner of this contest going to be holding their own contest next?

And I suppose the winner could start his/her own contest. Or anyone else wishing to further promote the crafting spirit.
@Palnar: Jellyfish, huh? I can see it now. A very cool composition.
Reminder: Make sure to cast your votes by the end of next Monday.
And there's an Eldrazi on the loose? Oh no! Run away!
