AlmightyGrub Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I look forward to polling strongly again this year. I love the people who have never done anything meaningful being the judges of those who made it all happen, good and bad. Such arrogance from the ADHD kiddies yet again.

Stealthkill Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Eh, after they handed NSO their asses earlier I think Legion's earned their way out of WAE. But really, if this is all time then my money's on Peggy Sue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Altheus Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Just what CN needs, another unpopularity contest to chase people away. Hiding behind statements like "everyone gets to vote" and "it's just a bit of fun" to try and disassociate itself from what it is, schoolyard bullying. Wake up.

Hiding behind statements like "everyone gets to vote" and "it's just a bit of fun" to try and disassociate itself from what it is, schoolyard bullying. Wake up. [/quote] Altheus, you just have to realize that the entire operation is a giant circle jerk of hate perpetuated by !@#$ bags of mediocrity afflicted with delusions of elitism, most of whom who are in dire need of enema concoctions of self-reflection and empathy, all of which is done in a laughable effort to boost their own self-esteem and status within the eyes of the pack and it's sycophants. Surely you've noticed that MK's greatest weapon is their active membership and since humans are herd-like creatures most affected by social sentiment, they leverage the quantity (but rarely the quality) of their voices to set the tone of who is "in" and who is "out", it's how they've remained at the center of the post-Karma political landscape and manage push their opinions across their allies to assist in advancing their agenda. Which is why if you look at the nominations, while most are truly terrible leaders, quite a few are just those who've stood in opposition to MK and their fellow hurr-durrers. Or at least the nominee is a person the nominator doesn't like. But once you get past all that, it's really a lot of fun. MK will skewer anyone who gets enough votes, be it friend, foe, or their own members. They welcome any and all and as long as said person doesn't act like an asshat, their voice will be heard. In that respect, it makes a complete travesty of polling into a more fair, or at least fun, experience. Really, you should check it out. It's akin to watching some one fall down the stairs, you don't want to laugh, but you do. I'm looking forward to the results.

The people who actually advance are the legit bad leaders; just because they're your friends doesn't mean they aren't bad. Hell, I nominated some of my friends, and others I would have but didn't bother with because they're going to get in regardless. If people take it serious, they should read their debate threads and pick up on the criticisms, then make some changes in their style. And tbh, it should be everyone's goal to improve, so they should read them. Edited February 6, 2012 by Gibsonator21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthkill Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Eh, my only fear with this is that the political element will be rather strong, but also because people are gonna focus on somebody who made one bad move amid a career of decency or even success. The winner deserves to be somebody like Ramiras Maximus or Peggy Sue, people who's idiocy (or in Ram's case, insanity) was rather wholesome and complete rather than one defining bad move like Ilyani. Although RyanGDI and TOLWYN both deserve a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope we can look at actual moves as a a leader, and not get tangled up in the posts that person makes, or the views that person carries (someone like HoT doesn't really need to win.

If leaders are too scared to take insults that their leadership may be poor, then they really shouldn't be in leadership positions, because having a little thick skin is a [i]necessary[/i] skill to have as a government leader.
