Message SarkyNorthener beers 5200 º places 142 º 08:43 Mon 1/9/2017 Originally posted by b3shine Originally posted by AdamChandler I thought it would be fun for those who haven’t voted yet or need to rally. The following people / threads are not in the lead right now so if you want them to win, you should rally your troops: This is completely unnecessary. Everyone nominated should be celebrated, not told they’re far behind. And this isn’t how voting works. You’re attempting to affect the outcome, and it’s completely inappropriate. Do not attempt to turn this into a popularity contest. Totally agree.

Do not attempt to turn this into a popularity contest. Totally agree. I think Ajaxchan is just trying to drum up voter turnout. Sometimes people don’t bother voting because they think their candidate ’has it in the bag’; if they see that’s not the case, they might go and vote. Not saying I agree or disagree with Adam’s note. But given that these awards are mostly for fun, I don’t think he’s doing much harm. Although, I understand that others will feel differently. (And I don’t say this in an effort to support my own cause - I think there are folks more worthy than myself to win in those categories where I was nominated. I do appreciate the recognition of the nomination!)
Message AdamChandler P beers 6124 º places 278 º 09:03 Mon 1/9/2017 My post should excite / piss you off. If it did one of those two things, then good I have your attention. Now go out and vote. all I said was thy weren’t in the lead. My mentions are some people in 2nd place and some are in last place. I didn’t put what place they were in just they they weren’t in the lead. I’m pretty sure every year I’ve posted the pDF that shows how the scoring break-down happened. No one has ever complained about knowing who got last place.

If these elections are bought and paid for by the Russians (too), then we should all be concerned as any comments we make could be construed as meddling in their internal affairs. And, that is punishable by death.
