 Bowie - no one said you cheated on the last round.

Anyway - enjoy being angry. I've spent long enough trying to explain this to you :)

Actually I agree, from what little I've read, with HazelZNSB. If it was in the rules not to bribe, then you shouldn't have, personally I think you should have been disqualified.
Give them the questionable "bribe" regarding the Casino Park. To be looked upon by someone who knows nothing of this site and have them say we cheated in the round before this (where we got 28 votes) only makes me angrier because we just didn't talk about it till the last couple rounds.

And even still, how effective was this "bribe" there is maybe only ONE person and even at that point we were pretty much only in the considering stage. Everyone else who liked the idea had already voted beforehand in this round so their votes wouldn't just not exist in an alternate universe. Our only "bribe" was the possible opening of the casino park. and it affected 1-2 votes.. tops. Which balances out when we see that Maelic and a couple others didn't even get votes in because they were busy.
...

You still cheated.
Not that you helped us get to whatever vote total we get in the end (yaybluntness). And like I said, talk is cheap. The possibility of preforming a site "holiday" that we have preformed before only sped up maybe.. 1-2 voters and didn't affect anything overall in the end. That section is still the most active and people are going to post there no matter what happens. Outside of that, a true bribe is a perk.. something like money, something physical, and something unique. Not only is this "holiday" site wide, meaning pertaining to people who voted and didn't vote (your case being the didn't vote) which makes it really not true incentive at all because it is general, as in "not specific to a single individual or group thereof."

If this site gets whatever chance in the future, we will redeem our wrongfully tattered honor by crushing everyone without false "incentives" and shut up anyone who thinks that this site needs to entice members to support this community.

The main reason for this? It was more than obvious to me, based on the amount of votes received in previous rounds, that the main reason members of this board voted was because they were offered something in return. Your board broke the rules and you are very lucky to be docked only 10 votes.


That is attacking the fact that because we started talking about it we went from small vote totals to increasing vote totals. Whether you like it or not, that puts out 28 vote output in the spotlight as well. Meaning that's EXACTLY what you said. and it's more than obvious if you know how to read time that "incentive" didn't entice this site to further build on that success.

Before you continue hostilities, just because I couldn't careless about how well this forum performs on any poll/awarding event. Please let me clarify my statement:

You still cheated.

Because really, you did, 1-2 voters, is still cheating, stop pretending your in the 'right' when obviously you are not.

 This topic is getting the big lock. If we go on to the next round, we will get 60 votes. That's my goal and without incentives. Even if we don't hit it, we will still prove that we did not get 40 votes due to incentives.

What I'm saying is that if we gave inscentive that anyone GAVE A DAMN about then you probably would have been in on the voting. I could care less that you don't care because it's good enough that you're on the site. But you're the perfect example, people that didn't care didn't vote or people who were busy didn't vote and didn't rush to. People who DID care and had the chance did vote.

And no I'm not being silly, when one feels so kicked down low, coming back around can mean quite a lot.
