Oddguy.....good luck...:fuzsmile:

You've got my vote, Oddguy. You totally deserve the spot.

Can you post the code you used in your signature thing, or PM it to me?

GrigtheSlig 08-27-2003 04:11 AM

I think that you'd do a great job! Good luck, you've got my vote! :fuzwink:

Alcar 08-27-2003 04:20 AM

oddguy, I know you probably put this thread in here so that post counts would not be tallied, which is extremely thoughtful of you. But I'll move it to Forum Suggestions & Help as it is based on the Oddworld Forums elections. No harm done :fuzsmile:

I already know who I'm voting for, but I'm not disclosing it. For the sake of not being called a 'favouritiser'.

I love the extra 'vote for whoever' people have in their signatures. Reminds me of an election in real life. Very amusing, to. Just so we get it correct, who was it that placed the first 'vote for whoever' in their signature?

I think it was Max, but I'm not totally sure.

Alcar...

Joshy 08-27-2003 06:03 AM

Sorry Oddguy, i go for AlphaScarab :p

Alpha Scarab has been here for ages and help out in OWH loads of times, if you look at his custom title, that is another reason i would vote and nominate him.

PS. Just expressing my opionion and btw i have not against you, you would prolly be my second choice if 2 mods were in OWH.

I'm pretty sure it was me, as well.

Don't know who to vote for the OWH Forum yet. I'll just have to keep tuned in to the campaigns.

paramiteabe 08-27-2003 11:45 AM

You have my vote your a perfect canydate for the job good luck.:D

I wonder who Alcar's gonna vote for??? I Now I'm really curious! I hope it's oddguy! Yes I think Max started the "Vote for me and all of my friends" campain trend. Very wise Max!:fuzwink:

I understand. I haven't been here very long and I don't expect everyone to vote for me. I just want you guys to know that if I do get the job, I'll do my best to make sure everyone is happy. And I'm on OWF everyday, so I'll allways be availible for help.

I really appreciate everyone's kind comments. And a big thanks to Mac for placing my "Vote for Oddguy" banner in his sig.:fuzwink:

Al the Vykker 08-27-2003 08:14 PM

Well, youve got my vote Oddguy, you just seem like the right person for the job. Your here a lot, and are really friendly, and like to help people out, plus being very experienced in the games helps also. And it would be great to have you on the staff too.:fuzsmile:

Abe16 08-27-2003 09:20 PM

You got my vot tghree cheers for oddguy!

Majic 08-27-2003 11:31 PM

Now this sucks... Oddguy or AlphaScrab... Arg! Tough decisions. Maybe I can just, give .5 of a vote to each?:)

Actually, I think I'll maybe vote for AlphaScrab, seeing as hes been pretty excited about it since forever, and it must be a bit crushing to see all these people saying they'll vote for Oddguy:). Though, even if you don't win, you should definately get a custom title at least Oddguy. You deserve it.

Damn, you just reminded me of that. This is a bit of a pickle, alpha has been looking foreward and deserves this as much as oddguy also.Perhaps I may not vote on this particular mod selection and let other people decide.

But I would have to agree, whoever is second, should probably get a custom title.

oddguy 08-28-2003 03:46 AM

If AlphaScrab has been waiting to be OWH mod forever, then by all means, vote for him. I wouldn't want to take away something he's wanted for a long time when I've only been here for a short while. I wouldn't mind second.....it's better than nothing.:fuzwink:

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Alcar 08-28-2003 03:58 AM

I personally feel that publicly announcing who you are voting is going to start resentment towards people. Even if the resentment isn't shown on the forums.

That's why I remain impartial to members on the forums. But like I may have mentioned, Abe Babe and I get to vote this time :fuzvamp:

Alcar...

oddguy 08-28-2003 05:00 AM

When does the voting take place?

-oddguy:fuzcool:

Alcar 08-28-2003 05:06 AM

The voting commences in a little less than a week and a half. It will be held via Private Messaging as well.

Alcar...

Mojo 08-28-2003 06:54 AM

Whoa whoa whoa guys, though I'd like to be OWH mod, I think every-1 that is running for modship deserves an honest election. So don't vote for me, just because I have been around for a longer time, though you think some-1 else should have the job.

What I mean is, just vote for the one you wanna vote for, that is what democracy is all about.

[EDIT] By the way Alcar, can't you and AbeBabe make a poll marked "Important" or something??? That's an easy way to vote. And, of course, the nominees aren't allowed to vote on themselves

We could, but the way we did it last time worked just fine. Besides, having a public poll would inspire people to vote for the under-dog instead of who they would normally vote for.

As you said yourself, it should be the most deserving that recieves the position :fuzsmile:

spike 247 08-28-2003 08:14 AM

*Thinks hard* I really don't know what I was thinking about puttingmyself for OWH I won't win and I'll be a really crap MOD (if I had won althought I doubt it) I vote for you. Can I also say I widthdraw myself from the OWH running Vote Oddguy!

Joshy 08-28-2003 09:11 AM

Well, i think that may the best man win
*cough cough*

But a few bribe would be even better :p
Anyways i dont think its a big problem who ever is the mod of OWH, both of them still will help OWH anyways.

oddguy 08-28-2003 08:39 PM

Nice banner, Spike 247!:fuzwink:

I see where you're coming from Joshy, but Whoever wins will try their best to improve it and to get more people helping others.

GrigtheSlig 08-29-2003 04:14 PM

I'm so confused! I like AlphaScrab and Oddguy! :crying: You're both perfect for the job! But oddguy is my friend, so he has my vote.

Alcar 08-30-2003 11:33 AM

I'll be basing my votes on how I think the person will cope with being a Moderator. I don't think people should vote for friends, as sometimes friends aren't the best person to do something.

Don't let people bully you into either. Although I don't know if it were happening, it could. You know, the whole "I won't be your friend anymore if you don't" stuff, which is incredibly childish.

None of that happening here. I'd like people to vote for me, but I don't force it upon anyone. I wouldn't be a true friend if I said that friendship with me would be out the window if somebody didn't vote for me. I want my friends to vote for who they think should be OWH mod......and if it's not me, then that's okay. I'll then know that the person meant be OWH was picked.

Oddsville 08-31-2003 01:55 AM

Well, I have to say Oddguy; you've done quite a job! :fuzwink: I'm running for candidate as well (guess I should have gotten thoughs fancy adverts up. :P) but it look's like you may be pulling a Max (as in winning by a landslide). Anyways, I really wish you luck and may the best man win!!

oddguy 08-31-2003 02:31 AM

Why thank you Oddsville, I really appreciate that, especially coming from a fellow candidate running for the same spot.:fuzwink: May the best man win!:fuzgrin:

Fez 09-02-2003 08:23 AM

i'll take this oppertunity to run for mod for NOA&L. Oddguy, i wish you the best of luck.


EDIT = damn. I've just now realised that NOA&L isnt up for grabs. Forget all the stuff above.
