Jon's tactic of bumping up the post counts

[Johnny Groove]

My dead son and girlfriend approve of all of this drama. For my next trick, I think maybe I will put a LL from qualifying into the SF next round.

What I wrote in the PM to you about this, was my diplomatic side.

it's not like someone gets real money or a better job for their children for fixing a result, like in real life (which at least has some understandable motivation)

that's just my opinion as a person who actually ran many of these contests and i'm as big buddy of DM as Nole Fan, i didn't vote in that match because i couldn't choose, actually. it's just a matter of fair play and treating each other seriously, or not.

and at the top of all, i wonder why johnny tries making it look "funny" instead of at least apologising in here so DM and the others could just move on

The thing is, I made an error and my update with like 37 minutes to go in the R16 thread was wrong, I admit. But what am I to do now? Freeze the QF matches so we can do a revote?

I am laughing because of how serious everyone takes this all. I feel like the Joker watching Gotham burn. For so long I try to be Batman but now its just like fuck it. But I can't I must be Batman and finish this event. It is only QF stage. There may be more drama to come...

Although making mistakes is human, Jonathan should have at least apologized to DM for the mistaken instead of laughing it away.

Yes, I did make an error, and if caught quicker, could have been rectified. I am applauding DM's ability to take such a punch, though, along with my thanks to his counting of votes in the early rounds for me during finals week.

ACC decision was not wrong.

I think the one thing that we can take away from this drama is that Deathless Mortal is a great guy who took the unfairness against him in stride and didn't whine for a recount. For that, he'll always have my respect (although he already did before this).

How To Run A Contest on MTF: I have experience, I am running PopCon 2012 and I did Miss MTF 2007, so I have experience.

Step 1- Rig the draw. Obvious, but must be stated. Make sure you don't count all of the nominations and if you do, switch posters you like on the cuff of an easier draw, this is just good business.

Step 2- Make sure any qualifiers with any chance to upset my favorites are placed vs. high seeds, in fact, all Q will play high seeds.

Step 3- Set up arbitrary voting times. 12 hours and 12 minutes one round, 12 hours even another round.

Step 4- Lie about when voting times will be, and just go 24 hrs from 3rd round onwards.

Step 5- Cast a deciding vote and then recind it in overtime. Act all "benevolent dictator" and feign ignorance

Step 6- Count votes wrong on purpose and update with misleading live scores to influence voting.

Step 7- Take part in "Stabbing Hour" yourself.

Step 8- Declare a certain remaining person in the competition as "my favorite" and do all to make sure he/she wins.

Step 9- Laugh as MTF burns to the ground

Step 10- Realize all I just said was in jest, take a chill pill, and let's get on with this event and hope it doesn't cost me Mr. MTF this year

[Corey Feldman]

you did a good job Blaze altho you did rig my draw

they have all done since 2007

Being one of the sheep of the 'vulturing complaining idiot' is surely much better. I'll even do you a favor and not search and quote those posts, give you time to delete them, would just too easy otherwise

You created something that predated you by at least a year? Brilliant!

Although I think what happened to DM was really unfair, I'm willing to cut Johnny some slack because he's running this massive contest by himself. And DM emerged the winner from this whole fiasco anyway, which is just...

Guys can we all just kiss and makeup, you guys take these contests so seriously.

50 minutes to come up with something

i wonder if blaze vote for nole fan means she into the next round now

[The Bulldog]

Those 15 votes she needs are suddenly going to appear out of thin air. I'm already preparing my loser's speech.
