Ok, Rules:

1) You can only vote for one person per category. Only the people listed are up for voting at this point, "write-in" ballots will be discarded.

2) You may only vote via PM. Voting in this thread, chat, via IM, postal mail, e-mail, facebook, myspace, Livejournal or telepathic thought will be discarded.

3) Voting closes on Saturday, the 29th, at 4:30pm EST

4) This thread is for discussing and politicking for what you're nominated in. Rabblerousing is allowed, but no muck-raking. No filibusters either. We're not following Robert's Rules of Order though, so chat it up in here to your hearts contents. Use this thread for all your campaign image needs.

5) Don't be pigs around a melon. A general statement for good measure.


Ok then, the rules out of the way, let us move on to the voting. The categories contain the top 5 people with the most nominations during the previous phase. In the case of ties putting it over 5 people, if the ties consisted of people with just one vote, I dropped them all. Such that in some cases there may be less than 5 people in a category (although there are also cases when less than 5 people were even nominated). When ties occurred with people of more than one vote I kept it as long as it wasn't insane. So there are cases of more than 5 people on the ballot.

So that's why it may seem a bit odd.

Any questions can be addressed here or via PM, et al.

And away we go:

JanekMakowski for Champion of Intros!

WHO DID THAT

Waitwaitwait

I got nom'd for cutest and Andy got it for meanest?

Really?

I need to lurk the fuck moar.

I'm totally voting you for most improved oldbie, Mani.

ps you have double best drunk

Good work, Ryan. Best drunk is on there twice though (er, as Sarah just pointed out).

vote.jpg" alt="Image" />

My opponent Mr. Murphy claims to be a good person. He claims to do right by his people. But what does he really do?

He lies, cheats, threatens and steals, that's what he does.

Why just this morning Mr. Murphy said, and I quote from a primary source,
"[15:34:33] murphy: someone break everything.
[15:34:42] murphy: starting with Ryan's legs."

And then he sent his goon Mr. Arailt to do just that. I had just come home from a peaceful motorbike ride in the countryside with my roommate and they break my legs immediately.

And now Mr. Murphy is threatening to your souls if you don't do his bidding? I say, that's just poor sport, sir. How can you claim to be a champion when you do nothing but take?



I quote Andrew Ryan when I say, "what is the difference between a man and a parasite? A man builds. A parasite asks, 'where is my share?' A man creates. A parasite asks, 'what will the neighbors think?' A man invents. A parasite asks, 'watch out, or you might read on the toes of God...'" Indeed, good sir, indeed.

Don't vote for this... parasite. vote for me, Ryan. For a brighter tomorrow.

My worthy opponent seeks to slander me with lies and falsehoods.

In truth, his attack on my character is merely a reflection of his on inadequacies.

Do these sound like the words of a man who loves FREEDOM?

01:34:24 <ReadingRabbit> Fuck you
01:34:28 <ReadingRabbit> I AM THE LAW.

No. It has been well established that my worthy opponent, Mr. R, is a fascist. Even his name, a single enigmatic letter, displays his desire to institute a society in which the few make decisions for the many and in which we will all be restricted to using words that contain the letter R.

Just this morning, my campaign obtained photographic evidence of Mr. R which will shock and stun this forum. He is pictured here, in what experts are referring to a "Fascistmobile" or "The Take Away All Your Rights Because He Hates You and All That Is Good-cycle." You'll note that he has clearly donned riot gear and is mere moments away from instituting Forum Martial Law.

Do not listen to the lies of this charlatan who seeks to use his influence over you to take away your freedom. vote Murphy.

vote Freedom.


vote birds.

vote. Firedong.

More liek "vote soul-eating" and "vote dongs on fire" and "vote broken legs"...

I'll have you that yes the motorcycle is a Russian military motorcycle and they do make models that have machine gun mounts on the sidecars and sell them in the US (honest injun), but nonetheless these claims are fascism are nothing but falsitudes built on a foundation of lie (not lye) in a land where the water table is very high and instead of water in the ground it is untruthiness.

And I'll have you all know that facism is not written on the front of of the sidecar. I don't know how that got there, but I have designated a task force to get to the bottom of it. I will get to the bottom of it.

Aristotle once said "[i]f liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in the government to the utmost." Trust in me, for I will not steer you wrong. Trust in me who believes in all of you---and in the bright future in stores for us.

One nomination? Guys, give a black man a chance.

Race card pulled out so early!

honestly, worst spammer? these awards are for 2006/07, not 2003.

I don't need to find my images online.

I am going to campaign for best avatar by posting again.

I am going to campaign for whatever I got nominated for by making a somewhat formulaic post, probably including the word cunt somewhere, which makes recrementitious use of supererogatory language, and calls Virgil some sort of rude name and probably a gay.

You've won my vote.

I'm not up for cutest male? Tsk tsk. Maroon bar messages don't lie.

It is easier to vote for someone with a one-letter name.

Also, when I was looking through my inbox, I saw a PM in which Cass murdered me and left a clue. I forgot what that was for, but we should do that again.

The murder mystery forum games, yeah. Sid said he might run a new one at some point.

A raging clue.

I couldn't agree more, Maggielove.
