Late is the hour, but #Mannardite should nevertheless have, oh, some 200 extra votes counted for it because it was deprived of a chance to be voted for properly first off.

💖 Sklodowskite isn't a competitor this year.
Cuprosklodowskite is, but mannardite is the only mineral named after a scientist in this match. Maria Skłodowska-Curie's name could be written without "special characters", but not with a "L".
Vote #mannardite!

💖 Well that was super discouraging and feels like it may have still cost a lot of votes and campaigning for #Mannardite, but the tally is finally showing.
There's still over 3 hours left to vote for the pretty little vanadium ore! So dark and shiny! Forsake the insultingly named green pincushion!

OK, they fixed the bug that wasn't showing the vote count for #mannardite, so now you can go vote for it and watch as the numbers become more sensible. Thanks, #MinCup25 moderators.

Admin lover at alle stemmene blir registrert sjøl om det bare er de til den øverste kandidaten som vises, så da foreslår jeg at alle hiver seg rundt og stemmer på #mannardite sammen med meg sånn at vi får se et veritabelt mannarditt-SKRED når registrerings-bugen er fiksa!

We went from HOT to Tiny in the #MinCup25 R2M8
#Cuptosklodowskite, hard to say, dangerous to hold, gorgeous to look at.
Versus
#mannardite, the tiny quartz inclusion that brings memories of Miyazaki and jet black obsidian (not related)
Tough call, but #teampoison and #teamgreen ought to sort this

10 samples of radioactive minerals on public display. They range in color from brown to greenish to bright yellow.
Either #mannardite has no votes or the results are glitchy :(
I don't have either #cuprosklodowskite or mannardite, but I do have the #radioactive minerals display from the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History!

#Mannardite does not give up the ocean’s secrets without a fight. Complex, multivalent ions concentrate V, Ba, and Ti in tiny crystals in fine-grained shales.

See “Mannardite as the main vanadium-hosting mineral in black shale-hosted vanadium deposits, South China” by Yang, et. al. 2003.

Have to vote for the wee ones. Two reasons- 1) they so tiny, which matches me 🥺 and 2) you should never be afraid if licking rocks 😉😁 #Mannardite

Vote #Mannardite! Bc there is no way green spiky is at 201 votes and "Several people have voted for it and said so" mannardite at zero, and we need to take the opponent by surprise while we can 😈
Black stealth to victory! ... Just don't attack us with 🧀

Hvis noen savner mineralkøpp i dag så er det fordi det er krøll med resultatregistreringa sånn at ingen av stemmene på min favoritt #mannardite er blitt telt! Vi kommer tilbake med lenker og stemmeoppfordringer så snart administratorene våkner der borte i tidssonen sin og får orden på det.

Something is fishy here. #Mannardite votes are not being counted (or not being reported, more likely), and the Results summary page says the vote is between #Cuprosklodowskite and #paddlewheelite. Maybe my vote for mannardite is read as a vote for paddlewheelite? I told the #MinCup25 admins.

The error is probably related to this: #Mannardite is not in the Game but the looser #Paddlewheelite is. That is why there are no votes counted for Mannardite. I hope it's easy to recover them.

Yes, cuprosklodowskite is the copper-bearing version of sklodowskite, the mineral named for Marie Curie (neé Sklodowska), but #Mannardite is the little goth rock who could! Jet black & found in the oldest terrestrial rocks, Hadean era crust!

Goth black #Mannardite has form v green radioactive foes, winning by one vote over paddlewheelite in R1. Yet, it’s met its match in needle-sharp, radioactive cutie-pie #Cuprosklodowskite, which is set to skewer. Named for Marie Skłodowska Curie, the spiky, glowy Scrabble champ has my vote! #MinCup25

We’re lying liars who lie: it’s vs #Mannardite, not paddlewheelite!
The prior match was decided by a 1-vote margin.

Might I suggest voting #Mannardite, partly because it's used in steel alloys for spinny bits on cars, but mostly because look how goth that crystal is!

With less than one hour to go, it’s still incredibly close in this final match of Round 1 of #MinCup25
Who will get your vote and make it through to Round 2?
#paddlewheelite or #mannardite.

In #Paddlewheelite versus #Mannardite, it's currently a one-vote lead for the former with 1.5 hours to go. If you have opinions, go vote! There's no calling this one. #MinCup25

#MinCup25 finally has a horse race where your vote and mine can make a difference. #mannardite for me. Neither contestant has its own Wikipedia page, and the mindat.org pages now have a banner at the top telling people to go vote in MinCup25. I am happy that they get to play a game for a month.
