In all of the voting threads I have found a total of 7 anonymous posts (this doesn't necessarilly mean they have voted).

There are also a few (but not many (less than 10)) accounts with a very low post count that have posted (and possibly voted). Only 1 of these accounts with a low post count is linked via IP to another forum account.

Now, I would like to say this - just because someone has a low post count it does not mean that their vote is invalid. Neither is it wrong to register on the forum just so that you can vote for somebody in a poll (a LOT of people did the exact same thing last year).

I do take a number of the points ( S T I's in particular ) - but at the end of the day, all awards are popularity contests - and that's everything from awards in this forum through to government elections. Why did Labour win the UK elections under Tony Blair and push out the Tories? Was it his policies? No. Was it because of poor Tory policies? No. It was because he became popular to a significant proportion of the UK population who stay at home all day, watching TV and reading tabloid newspapers, and they thought 'Oh, he's a nice man.'

I have also seen talk along the lines of that certain people should not be winning because they are not as good as other people elsewhere. Well, it may be the case taht they are not as good as others - but the fact they are/were winning and a number of people did not like it is NOT a good enough reason to cancel the existing polls and start new ones.

From what I have seen - there is NO proof of any wrong-doing and I do not believe that anyone can say, beyond reasonable doubt, that any wrong-doing has occurred.

on this point alone TAD should be player of the year...

J.S. wrote:Its cool rook but from my POV

Dundee is the head of the EPAc senate, and any orders issued on the senate (None to date ) are carried out by the alliances..

So if Dundee said I want all of you to mass this one account the senators would go to the alliance leaders and say this one account is to be massed above all others then we do it.. You catch my drift

And anyway Dundee is active on ALL the EPAc member forums, and he makes a pretty good beer taste even better

J.S. wrote:Right after reading ALL of that I have a few things to say.. It might be a little bit messy becuase I am tired and hungry and the shop isn't open till 9am its now 7.40am

1. To my mate Bill, get back here soon buddy.. (I will send ya emails regarding something you might enjoy.... For later... )

2. S T I / Jeff here is your public apology.. I am sorry I had incorrect information about you, as a journalist I feel really bad, guess I need to go back to school on that one,

I am also sorry I asked my alliance who I know exactly how active they are to vote for me for Tauri of the year, and Most Improved player of the year.. (Yes I did send a Alliance wide PM asking IF they had an account on forums to vote for me) I am also sorry I asked all the EPA Players to also vote for me many of whom have seen me mass EVERYONE who has hurt them throughout the last year.. My total of players massed is nothing compared to Bill's alliances massed by himself but its in the 40's - 50's.. As for Total Alliances massed by me that is a smaller number of 15 or so...

However I like talking to my "victims" before I kill them.. (Serial Killer here RUNNNNN lol) Usually it ends up that farmers pay everything back with interest or something like that.. A massing is avoided and my strikers start massing eachother due to boredom.. Truth is I love massing.... For awhile its the only thing that has kept me in this game.. Especially massing Living God n00bs

EXAMPLE OF A PM I RECEIVED YESTERDAY

um.. hi there, its come to my attention that you are supposedly going to \'mass\' me!... um... ok, do i at least get to know why? if it is you, i understand you have a 100 bill attack, and i know you know my defense, i could get it to 86 bill defense quiet quickley, although there is still a 14 bill difference, and i dont know what ive done wrong, something to do with \'<name selfmodded>\' aka (<name modded>) or however you spell it, add me on msn if you want to talk about this maturley, <MSN modded> i do know lots of people your rank, and i know an ancient god, (im not tyrna threaten you btw)

i hope we can discuss this matter, so ill see you later! (g2g for tea)

bye... <name modded> ....

Now the above message was a nice n00b message, in MSN he even told me about his top 100 ranked Living God friend with his 300 billion defence and 200 billion strike, who he didn't give a name for me Anyway getting off point.. I like to mass.. But I like to see if I can sort things out first...

However I don't post who I am going to mass or what alliance I am going to mass.. I just do it get it over with and move on.. I tell whoever I mass why they were massed they either accept it and move on or they cry like a little baby and ask for help in massing me even tho they started it.. A nice little war is started and then eventually it winds up on these forums...

NOT ALL CONFLICTS END UP HERE YOU KNOW!!! If that was the case lets have admin implement a forum document for massing.. We will find that Section 8 Subsection D hasn't been filled in correctly and massing has been denied (For those who can't see what I am trying to say, just becuase I don't post on the forums doesn't mean I am not active..

Now as regards a few more things..


Voting - See this is what I don't get.. This Forum's own black market sections you need 50 posts before you can post anything in there... If your worried about forum activity isn't Ingame then by all means lets scrap the game and just have forums.. That will be so much more fun we can all take the <nani?> out of each other till the cows come home and then people will go "YOU HURT MY FEELINGS SO THIS IS MY LAST EVER EVER POST GOODBYE" Once we make a certain group leave we will have won.. Oh wait, no becuase this forum exists becuase of what happens ingame.. Maybe we should just scrap the forums altogether, becuase a player who has been playing for the last year but hasn't registered on the forums is NOT really a player... They aren't active becuase they have a 4 million army size and are a living god after ascending to that level finally 3 weeks ago... The forums are NOT part of the game.. When people get that into their heads it will be a great day..

Game = Where everyone of us have/has had an account..
Forums for Game = Where everyone of us is "entitled" to post whatever we like, as long as it isn't disrespecting anyone..

The forums should be entitled to EVERYONE who plays.. Shaitan you said that phbbp isn't that advanced.. Upgrade to the latest version.. You can have all sorts of new options in it.. I know this becuase I am an admin in one such phbbp 3.0 forum.. You can add an option field to include Ingame ID and Ascended Status.. Just backup these forums take it down for a day or two and copy it over to the new ones.. Skin em up and your flying.. Then get everyone to complete their profiles..

Not sure on this one - You can set it so that say the ingame ID field people higher then a certain number can't post in certain sections.. That might solve your problems..

Now I know the system we have isn't a perfect one.. But for god sakes people its just a game.. Yeah I was nominated great and thanks to everyone who nominated me.. But in the last week I have been called the following

a. A cheat - For asking members of an alliance to vote for me

b. Desperate for trying to win - Same reason as A

Anyone who knows me knows I am ANTI cheat, did I see wrong in asking them to vote for me? NO!! Why becuase I know how active they are ingame..

Was I acting desperate in asking them to vote for me?? Maybe possibly I am unsure about this, but if it were an election wouldn't you get your local offical coming upto you kissing you baby etc.. Just merely doing the same thing.. Becuase remember a vote for me is a vote for you!!



Now all of this has severely hampered my wanting to continue with this game.. Especially with everything that is going on in RL atm.. Which is far more important..

I honestly don't want to come onto the forums anymore but here is the kicker I love these things.. I love being able to comment on people and offer them my opinions.. But if all your basing my activity on is what I post here in the forums even tho I may or may not have an account is ridicilious..

S T I the name might be better known to people who just play ingame because he held his rank 1 for 7 months (See I got it right according to the information I had) just as when i started the game EtL was rank 1.. And there are other things that come into play here.. people who only use their accounts to make $$ and the occasional massing to keep them interested.. A lot of people are offended about this fact that people make money off this game.. Did you ever consider that this may be a reason why people didn't vote for some of you?

Finally, yes this is a popularity contest and the most popular guy will always win..
