Statement: I shall voted later...I don't know, really, there are a few things I'm not certain about. A droid such as I needs time to contemplate.

As do I. We should make a disclaimer that this is basically for entertainment purposes only. DON'T TAKE THIS PERSONALLY PEOPLE! I think a better solution to that would be to not have it at all... Even though it would be very nice if we could, we truly can't just erase the meaning of these contests by putting in a disclaimer that says "don't take this personally" (even though, like I said, it's nice that you're taking precautions ). I mean for example, if you win the category "best artist" that means people think you're the best artist. People aren't just gonna pick some random person, they're gonna pick who they think is the best artist. So you see, there IS meaning behind the results of this contest whether we say there is or not. No offense to you Kayleigh---I know you've got your heart in the right place and you're doing this for fun, it's just sad that this is the reality of how competition is. Anyway, that's just my two cents.

Gabby, this is true. There is some meaning behind the results, of course. "Well... let's see... this person is the biggest Shego fan I've ever seen..." I mean, last year, I got 1st place most addicted to RS.net, and I'm sure I'll scrape it again. And for good reason. Yeah, but my thing is this:
If people don't get nominated or win something, they shouldn't be take it so personally. This is a HUGE board. 2000 plus members. Can you name all the members? I certainly can't. I can probably name a small percentage of that.
Last year, only 30 or so people voted. And how many different names were on the final tallies? 30-100 (I'm not actually going to check!)?
And, look at where this thread is. The Fun Board. Does anybody take anything seriously in here? No, and the same should be held with this. I mean, if it was a big deal it would be in General Conversation or The Contest Board. But it's not.
I know some people aren't going to be into this whole deal, but that's life. Not everyone likes the same thing.

Agreement: I really wish I had the potential to type down something as great and meaningful as Ashley's or DP's post...but I can't since I'm would type down something similar. And...I'm feeling to lazy, today. But, yes, I agree.

Why not just agree to not look at or participate in the contest if you feel you will be hurt by the outcome?

^^ That's a terrific idea.
I always felt if you didn't like something, just don't watch it, read it, listen to it, whatever.

Anyway, that's just my two cents. I understand what Gabby is saying & i dont have a problem with the elections, though. I really think we should eliminate the categorys of "member of the year" & "most gullible" those are the ones that get people. i know, i know, i won both of them.. but ,he thing with most gullible is that i think the mock elections shouldn't be insulting. also, if we eliminate member of the year, i think we cut back on over half of the drama. It's not just me, but some people can't help the fact that they take things personally. I am all for the elections, but there are some categorys that are a little shady, IMO. Just throwin my opinion, dont flame please, its just a suggestion.

^ Unsure Statement: I agree with the 'Most Gullible' suggestion, not sure if I agree with the 'Member of the Year' one.

I don't think Most Gullible is that bad. It's just saying, "Who takes everything seriously or easily duped."
Okay, yeah, I see your point.
I think we should change up the mock election categories every so often.
Like, maybe "Biggest Fan of Something Other Than KP" That's pretty positive.
I'm not actually bothered by Member of the Year. I mean, I won them the first year we had this and then didn't the second time around. I was disappointed but I understood. I hadn't spent that much time on the board.
Now if we had something like "Hottest" or "Most Attractive" I would be LIVID....

I was thinking there should be a category like "BFF Members" or "Closest Members" or something, Ashely, you and Panther would win that.
