The poll’s closed for round one of Rumormonger Idol, so in today’s first bonus, some rumormongers see a billboard advertising the results show. In today’s second bonus, we see the results show! The results are based entirely on the votes in the poll… despite what the loser would have you believe in today’s third bonus! Thanks for voting, both in the poll (you can see what the exact results were here), and for Station V3!

While Z7 recently reached 300 strips, the other Station V3 spinoff, Ebb’s Children, hadn’t been updated since December. I’ve fixed that now, and also moved the comic off the ComicOstrich semi-hosting (since I’m probably taking that down soon) to its own subdomain, and added some color to the older strips.

In other news, there are three new voting bonus sketches up today: The new station’s food machine (which they’re using while the Chef’s away), Floyd making his contribution to the maintenance department’s work, and somebody didn’t read the employee handbook. Thanks for voting!

Z7’s 300th strip went up this past Monday! (Not counting the nine Station V3 strips it started out with, which introduced the station – as V3-b – as a temporary substitute for V3, and Gordon as a temporary substitute for Floyd.)

Z7 was originally hosted on DrunkDuck – in fact, I started it partly as a way to give that a try after meeting Chuck and Steve Rowles at one of their Gods of Arr-Kelaan book signings at the Barnes & Noble in Wilkes-Barre. But DrunkDuck went down for a while last year, I had signed up with a Jatol Economy hosting plan for ComicOstrich (and Station V3 a couple months later when I moved off ComicGenesis), and I had written a comic automation script I was using for a V3 and Z7 mirror, so I just moved Z7 over to its current location, and it’s still going.

So if you enjoy V3 and haven’t read Z7 yet (or even if you have!), take a look!

Three new bonus strips up today: A badly translated preview of tomorrow’s strip, Mr. Substitute subscribes to a magazine, and one of the Rumormongers gets the voting wrong for Rumormonger Idol. Thank You to all of you who have been supporting Station V3 with your votes!

If you have a request for a bonus you’d like to see, you can post it on the forum, and if there’s a contestant you’d like to see kicked off Rumormonger Idol, you can vote in the poll! (Which I’ll probably end some time this weekend, with results to follow.)

Station V3 will not be hosting the 2014 Winter Olympics. And do you know where else the Winter Olympics will not be hosted? Hoth. (They missed the deadline for the bid, after all…)

If V3 did have the Olympics, Honest J!on would no doubt run another round of Rumormonger Idol against it…
