Here is the final Lost Gems of Yesteryear: Odyssey Two update!

Ten e2 users nominated 39 writeups from 31 unique authors. haqiqat and The Custodian appeared three times; DonJaime, Jet-Poop, lizardinlaw, and Zephronias appeared twice. 132 votes were cast on the nominated writeups during the quest period, ranging from 1 to 7 new votes per writeup. Reputation changes range from -2 to +6, with a mode of 1 and a median of 2. A late spate of downvoting pulled the averages down. The net change in reputation was +72.

Dustyblue won going away in the "biggest reputation increase" sweepstakes with a +23 change across the 5 nominated writeups. I managed to attract the most total new votes (27) to my set of nominated writeups, perhaps through dedicated promotional activites, but I also garnered the most new downvotes (7) for those writeups. Participants (who are not me) will be granted GP in accordance with the 2x net rep change their nominees accrued (doubled because as a GP reward, the numbers are pretty low).

Unexpectedly, analysis of the voting produces a result that shows a clear pattern, however, not in a way that violates any quest rules. One set of writeups ended up (both in total and individually) with *less* downvotes than it had before, whereas almost all the others picked up at least one new downvote during the quest period. But hey, we all vote as we see fit.

Thanks to everyone who participated! I enjoyed reading these new writeups and discovering several new authors to check out.
