Hey, how did I make it into the ontopic and the socialist category ? LOL! Can you vote for yourself ? |
| Arnelos |
posted 12-04-98 05:16 AM ET
You can vote for yourself, sure (although many souls have not done so, normally the ones who were absolutely sure of winning  ) |

I might even have nominated myself for a category. |
| Roland |
posted 12-04-98 07:42 AM ET
Thanks, Arnelos. I'll try to cast my vote today. I'd just say leave it open for a while, many people are not around every day. To increase the turnout, maybe you could send the "ballot" by email to the people you sent emails to some time ago ? |

Somehow... I didn't make any category. I guess I have to make a greater contribution, or was I forgotten? |

Just bringing this thread back up. Arnelos - what's the vote count now? |

This sounds a lot like a popularity contest. I doubt that I'll vote, especially since I have a test I have to get to in 6 mins! Heheheh. But have fun. Oh, and I find it strange that I was nominated for PK of the year, considering that I'm a Hivester. heheheh. |
| Jeje |
posted 12-04-98 03:28 PM ET
Rang: There aren't enough good candidates in the PK:s. That's why they chose candidates from the best faction. (The Hive can only have a certain number of good candidates. Rest are still so good that they can be voted on other factions lists )lol |

We should update the voting regulary to get a more exact rating. I may do some of them in my quizzlet in the Alpha Centauri Zone Ciao Marian |

And I get a nomination for best real-life believer. Funny, seeing as I am an agnostic. ROFL...  Brother Greg. |

And why am I offensive? Because I'm a vocal conservative and this board is dominated by liberals? And why is JB offensive? He stands up for his beliefs? I've noticed the only two conservatives are considered offensive. |

OK, to dispell voting myths: I think a number of voters must just be pernicious little buggers or something. Because a lot of people have been nominated for stuff (and voted on for stuff) they had nothing to do with. This means that people are either purposely voting for these people that way (LOL) or they have very bad memories (which I suspect). I think it's really odd to have Roland with 4 votes for best socialist! (LOL) Ok,the total vote count right now is 17 and most awards are VERY closely contending each other right now. There are some, however, that are pretty much beyond conclusion. BTW, sorry for mispelling Jason's name. The person who originally sent in that nomination mispelled it that way and I really didn't notice (John/Jason, close enough). sorry. |

Roland would probably be considered slightly left of center politically which in US terms seems to relate to extreme left wing. I am slightly left of Roland with Tap but very close on most issues. So it's not that surprising that Roland got 4 votes for best socialist because there is a real US bias on the internet. I think. |
| Imran Siddiqui |
posted 12-07-98 04:49 PM ET
Actually I don't consider Roland a socialist, and I don't know why others would also. Of course, I am Mr. Right Wing. I bet if people knew who I was across the pond, they'd scream and run when they saw me. Fortunetly, when I go to Europe, they have no idea who I am: Espionage, my man!! Imran Siddiqui |

Hey, what a nice debate! Well, in US terms, I may be part of the loony left, but that would go for 90% of Europeans. Maybe Arnelos would have to make two counts on the subject, one for US and one for european voters ?  BTW, what about the result ? If it's in another one of that million threads, forget that question... |

Hey, BigER: _I_ like you! (But then again, someone seems to think I'm the most offensive non-American around, so maybe you don't need that...) Emulating Goldwasser - I'm sort of curious as to how I managed to acquire the nomination... I suspect it's connected to the American faction thread. If that's true, I suggest the person(s) who nominated me read through the thread in question, to see just how offensive my posting was (and don't mix in any other posters' posts with what I wrote - that happened a LOT in the reactions to the lone post which I suspect rendered me the dubious honor of nomination as most offensive non-A.) If I've offended people in other threads, I'm curious as to how that happened. I hope you don't mind my using this thread for this query, you see I do care. I have this ridiculous idea that people on this forum are smart, generally good people who (again generally) only want the best for us and everyone else... |

posted 12-09-98 11:24 AM ET
I actually made a comment about you being in the most offensive non American in my vote but you can't really un-nominate someone if we are going to do this democratically. |

Unless something really weird happened while i was away, I am still Dutch, and not american. Thank god. (gotta keep offensive, actually, I don't remeber being offensive just once, I just tell the truth how i see it, and if that offends people, tough luck) |

Voting's been open for a week now. How about some results? |

At least an update on how many people already voted... Arnelos? Are you still with us? |
| Arnelos |
posted 12-14-98 06:49 AM ET
Been gone for a week. sorry. I'm with you now. Voting. . .Get back to you on that. I have to go to bed. I'll post the turnout so far (turnout, not actual results. If enough of you say you want results, then I'll post results). Arnelos |

BigER!!! My reflekses may be a bit slow, but I did notice that! And somehow I didn't like it! |

posted 12-14-98 10:39 PM ET
Arnelos: How many votes are still coming in? I'd suggest just mailing the preliminary results to those who have voted already if you are concerned about influencing the still-undecided. |
| Arnelos |
posted 12-15-98 11:49 PM ET
That's an idea. However, it would be good for everyone to just discuss it online. Given that I haven't received any votes in over a week really, I'm going to go ahead and post results. (this will take awhile to set up). Arnelos |

My bad, haven't had time to vote. I've got An earth science presentation for half my grade and a thesis paper on the effect of the internet on global commerce worth roughly a third of my english grade, so I can't get around on the forum as much. I was lucky today in that I got a few hours to post. I'll try to get around to voting. |

This really pisses me off Arnelos, after all my contribution as one of the first and biggest posters, wan't even nominated for 1!! I for one won't vote and don't give a rat's ass about you're voting. ***sobbing*** |
| Arnelos |
posted 12-16-98 01:54 AM ET
Sorry Jimbo. Not my fault. If all they "old guys" who knew who you are didn't nominate you, then I didn't write your name down. I only went off of what people nominated. If you didn't make the list, complain to the people you think should have known to nominate you. Arnelos |

Come on, will more of you vote? 23% only have voted? I voted! So have some others. Do your part, and lets get more representative results by the time the demo is up. Imran Siddiqui |
