I will post all the PM-votes after voting will have closed.

I presume that Dive thinks that some are voting tactically to better their chances (though I can only assume, since the reproach was quite unspecific)

I'm not voting this year
I'm tired of voting for the ghost
one less vote for him
BWAhahaha

My votes in the prose competition are as follows:

1. #13 Sleepwalker
2. #9 No Obvious Motive
3. #12 Say That Again ...

Murder mysteries are a difficult genre. All entries were enjoyable and well written.

Nearly there! Am finding it so hard to decide as every story shows the effort that went into it.

Looks like a fantastic set of entries this year! I can tell already it's going to be very difficult to pick my top three. Thank you, Pondy and all who entered!

It's stated in the first post of the thread.

There’s a lot of luck involved in winning most things, so what I will do is randomly select three numbers from the list of entries and vote for those.

Alternatively you could respect the effort put in by the writers, (which include writers to your radio show) read and vote according to personal preference.

Edit: I'm sure your post was a throw away post without much thought behind it, but it does jar with your previous positive comments about this competition.
