Putting my only 2 internets from one of the previous betting rounds on Grey.

Last day to bet, so here it is. It's gonna be close, that's for sure. In the event of a tie, do I get my internets back?

Twenty blunts for the mods in the poll? How generous.



In the event of a tie, the people who bet on a tie win full payout, people who bet on individual members who tied for first get 1/n payout, where n is the number of people tied.

I'm expecting all of the votes to explode into one candidate at the last possible moment. Oh wait...

100 Internets on Q.U.

This is bullshit.

Wait, are we really considering QU?

It's possible that someone could have social-engineered that shift without actual cheating. I'd say legit unless Thomas wants to weigh in, since it's his poll, or unless there's any actual evidence of shenanigans.

Then i politely take down my bets. Bullshit betting is not my thing.

I would say the same, but so long as the election doesn't really matter in the first place, I don't feel too cross about losing two fictional internet currencies. In my eyes, third place out of five is a refund. I'll keep my two bargaining chips for later.

Well, it was mentioned how the setup was pretty much asking for funny business, but we wouldn't want to mar the reputation of Internet betting. I'll post a decision on that and the final results after Thomas gets back to me. Everyone has until then to make their views known on the matter.

i can see from here that i'm going to be the only one who has a problem with this so w/e

i honestly think people should calm down because this poll never really meant anything? i mean, fuck, it started off as a joke in the mod chat and it's not really something any of has have taken seriously (at least that's my point of view) and the betting of a few fictional internets doesn't mean jackshit. even if QU does win, it's going to be very obvious that HE'S not the most likeable mod so his votes should either be nullified or the poll should just be taken down and lost to the abyss.

I thought people taking this seriously were being second generation Ironic... is this really something to be taken seriously for better or worse?

I mean... it's a mod popularity contest. There was NO integrity to begin with.

if you honestly think that this isn't someone rigging it and that it's people honestly voting for someone they didn't vote for within two weeks of the polls being open, and that this point of view is simply because i lost a vote that i never expected to win, you're either disillusioned or you sucked so much dick that you don't want anyone to know about it.

It looks like (statements, logs, and such) that the upset was the result of a sneaky plot by Q.U. to convince people to vote for him on the last day. This seems to have been unrelated to the betting. So what to do about the betting? IMO the nature of the situation should have prompted people to bet with unusual activities in mind, but since this the first such round of bets, I suppose some leniency is due. Therefore, in a one-time-only offer, the people who would have bet correctly without the late surge for Q.U. can retract their spoiled bet retroactively. Since Tuor was the first runner up, and there was not a tie for second place, though second and third place were separated by a point, Mir@k and DaCrum may retract their bets for Tuor, and Rough Giraffe may retract his bet on the margin of victory. Given Mir@k's statement, his bet for Tuor has been retracted.

Anyway, total bets and results for this extra-shady-looking round:

The Pool: Who wins the poll - 10,477 Internets

• Tuor: DaCrum 15
• Q.U.: Valhallen 100
• Grey: DaCrum 10, Grey 10,000, Birdofterror 2
• Tie: Mir@k 150, Zelosse 150, DaCrum 50

Lonely bet:

• The margin of victory will be one point: Rough Giraffe 101

Since I was the only one to take advantage of the simultaneous deadlines, I cleaned up rather nicely.

This post will be updated if DaCrum and/or Rough Giraffe decide to retract their bets, or if Mir@k decides to reinstate his given the ruling (deadline is 24 hours from this post).

I didn't think it was going to be taken seriously in the first place.

I mean, all the mods are liked by different people.

Having a popularity contest just results in what seems like a jab at the other mods besides the winner.

I mean, in all honesty, there's no prize, no recognition, or anything really.

So why care all that much?

And the poll was weird. I wanted to vote for Tuor AND Warbear, but that wasn't possible, so I just didn't vote.

If you guys are actually truly taking the internet seriously, than get your shit straight.

See, this is why i say whatever. People are way too stupid to grasp why pulling stuff like this is dumb even in jest projects and instead opt for the "i'm so cool cuz im a grownup that knows you shouldn't care" path.

SO READ ON, BOYS AND GIRLS, BUT BE WARY THAT CONSEQUENCES WILL NEVER BE THE SAME ONCE YOU HIGHLIGHT THIS SHIT.

   Yes, if you play tag with other three kids then you should know it is a game and therefore should not be taken seriously. But if three of the kids are getting into the game, and one of them suddenly decides to change the rules of the game, some of the kids are going to be upset because they were actually having fun playing the game as it was supposed to be played.

So what you *don't* do, is bring the parent to the playground to tell him about the kid that's playing by his own rules and have him hand him down an ice cream and tell everybody else that they should shut up and that he doesn't care. That's bad parenting in my humble opinion (and i'm sincerely wonder what was the lesson to be learned here, or what the message was supposed to be. Was this project supposed to enrich the community, or fragment it further? was it an advance april fools sort of thing? did i confuse the whole thing with an attempt to liven up the community? I'm sincerely confused because if it was meant to lighten up moods and make people have fun then i don't think it was very succesful, but then again i'm probably giving people too much credit assuming this meant something instead of it all being a spam forum thread that got globalized for the el oh els). Again, i'm alone on this, but I'm just a bit frustrated that people here can be so shit. But then again it' probably me being the weird foreigner, must be an american thing, that someone acts like a douchebag and everyone else is expected to laugh in good nature.   

ahh, i feel better now and can pretend i don't care like everyone else. you guys still suck big smelly sweaty penis with such gusto that admirance is truly deserved though
