.JeT (http://dotjet.deviantart.com/art/Worm-Olympics-84833573) - the Olympics, complete with deliberately upside-down logo and 1cm high pole-vault.
Metal Alex (http://forum.team17.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=31417&d=1211229100) is watching cricket or playing darts or something. Why am I including this in the poll, I don't even like beer.
Err... me (http://forum.team17.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=31418&d=1211234868). A scene from the Lords Test between England and New Zealand. Clearly you shouldn't vote for this but y'know, whatever.
MtlAngelus (http://forum.team17.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=31419&stc=1&d=1211252003). Slick plays me at Wii Sports.
Akuryou13 (http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7200/baseballbotqx8.jpg) takes the cybernetically-augmented baseball approach. Or something.
Regulator (http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/8383/wormrunngn2.png) - so apparently this is disqualified or something. Like Metal Alex and my entries. But whatever.

I voted akuryou.

Voted for .Jet

My entry is the closest to a cricket scene, not counting yours...

You owe me a Paul.Power point :D

I am SO a sneaky b*stard...

GOOOOOOO REGULATOR.

It's easily the best one. I don't get how it would be disqualified?

No, I owe myself a Paul.Power point.

Just because it isn't valid for the main compo, doesn't mean it isn't valid for the other one... :p

Who the heck voted for Regulator two times? The first time I know it was himself...

Hay guys, guess which .Jet's entry I'm voting for!

You're... two days and four hours off when you should've made this thread.
I don't think I want to know how you managed that.

I don't even like beer.
Buh.... huh?

I'm Being Watched, I can't vote.
Thanks for the interest though.

I'm Being Watched, I can't vote.

Damm, I voted for you without noticing
Is just that your entry is too hypnotic

Buh.... huh?
What's wrong with not liking beer? It's god-awful stuff. One of the most revolting things I've ever drank.

I voted for Akuryou13.

You're... two days and four hours off when you should've made this thread.
Because... it's the 29th of May? And I said that the competition closed on the 29th of May in the opening post in bold text (http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36200)?

I mean, I'm going on holiday on the 31st and stuff.

I don't like it too, but I'm curious to know what the hell it had to do with me D:

No, I owe myself a Paul.Power point.

Just because it isn't valid for the main compo, doesn't mean it isn't valid for the other one... :p

Well... you... you... I WON'T GIVE YOU MY HANDKERCHIEFS THEN.

That'll teach him...

i vote 4 metal alex

GOOOOOOO REGULATOR.

It's easily the best one. I don't get how it would be disqualified?
Because it was stolen artwork and not really a worm.

I voted for Paul.Power. :cool:

GOOOOOOO REGULATOR.

It's easily the best one. I don't get how it would be disqualified?sheep....

paul, I hate you for not making who voted for what visible. those 3 regulator votes annoy me.

Wow, three valid entries.

Aku wins. The expression on the batter worm is amazing.

Also, who's Qwerty?

The 29th! Damn me for not paying attention. Lame, I have a near finished entry and it was about cricket and everything. Oh well.

Do you have an art thread where you can post it? You made me curious :)

I vote for Aku.
My word! For once, Aku might actually win this one!

I voted for Akuryou13. I think that .JeT's one is better drawn, but I like Aku's one better.

The 29th! Damn me for not paying attention. Lame, I have a near finished entry and it was about cricket and everything. Oh well.Oh well, feel free to submit it, you might steal the Paul.Power point off me.

Looks like aku will win this one.

How the heck did Regulator get 13 votes?

How the heck did Regulator get 13 votes?
It's called making multiple accounts. Apparently the Admin/Mods forgot to limit new people voting too.

It's called making multiple accounts. Apparently the Admin/Mods forgot to limit new people voting too.

well maybe the mods can check who voted and check those accounts

Mods can't, but admins can.

Question is, does the admin have the time, and can the admin be bothered?


Still it's Paul's voting thread so he ultimately gets to say who wins, and could overturn the result if he so wishes :p

I actually find it funny. I mean, I can take this seriously, but someone is actually taking it seriously enough to make multiple accounts to win.

That's hilarious.:rolleyes:

Actually, I do believe that's multiple accounts for the fun of it, because he already knows he's disqualified.

I'd like to submit a Write-In vote for Shadowmoon.

you just don't know the power of #worms

I'd like to submit a Write-In vote for Shadowmoon.

Actually, you can look at the poll and submit yourself a smack on the head, there is no Shadowmoon on there!:rolleyes:

Also, i think Regulator is just creating loads of accounts.

Re-read my post and try again. A write-in vote. Write-in. Are you at all familiar with the concept? Heavens to Betsy, Betsy - you are the most half-witted half-wit who ever halved a wit.

A write-in vote is where you vote for something that isn't on the list of options.
So congrats, you got yourself a vote! Squirminator was probably making it in reference to something, but I don't know what.

Although I didn't know what it was either, so I had to google it. Considering that it's rarely used outside of politicial voting, I don't expect you to understand.

Also, i think Regulator is just creating loads of accounts.
You thought wrong.

There are perfectly legitimate ways to manipulate the results. The answer is above your post.

I voted for MtlAngelus. 8D

All that vote-rigging for nothing :p

Owch. Aku had a pretty damn good chance of winning, and he lost out to a disqualified entry.

Only if you pass, but you're missing the point somewhat. You can have good grades, get your GCSEs, go to College and pass your A levels, go on to Uni and take a bunch of courses guaranteed to get you a well-paying job. But the one thing you won't learn taking exams is how to interact with people. You have absolutely no concept of how to interact with people, which is almost understandable considering you're still young, but arrogance is unforgivable regardless of age. Stop trying to make yourself seem like the victim.

You are not a clever person. Not yet, at least. And you sure as Hell don't know how to talk to people.

ADVICE: Give up, man. For the sake of everyone on this forum.
I was going to ask you to leave the forum, for the very same reason.

And for this, I am truly truly grateful. But if you're willing to take some advice from an old coot like me, I'll let you in on one of the biggest life lessons you're ever going to learn: When someone's trying to give you advice, don't push them away. 'Cause there's probably a damned good reason that they're trying to help you out. People say your art sucks and that you need practice? Maybe there's truth in them thar words. People say your People Skills leave something to be desired? Maybe you need to work on how to communicate with people. Think about it, Carla.

"I'm afraid you have no choice but to cancel."
"No. No, I don't want to hear this. The Carnival goes on as planned. The townsfolk will enjoy the bad clowns and the knock-off Spider-Man DVDs."
"You can't just ignore me, the entire town is in dang--"

Not flaming here. I'm trying to inject a dose of reality into your spine.

I voted for Jet, but it was a close call between him an Aku.
I voted for Jet in the end because he's sexier.

Silence, you! That poll was rigged.

I thought you loved me. :(

Open your eyes. All of you. S2k started this.
That's right, it's always someone else's fault.

I probably should have voted for .JeT's

But paul.power's made me smile a lot :) so I voted for it even if it doesn't matter

Open your eyes. All of you. S2k started this.

But surely you'll admit you haven't been trying very hard to end it.

At this stage I no longer care about ending it. Shadowmoon has gone from "annoying thorn" to "kid with potential" to "arrogant little bugger who should sod off somewhere else until he gets his chuffing act in gear."

I voted for Aku's because it looks nice.

Finally! just leave me alone and let me get on in this forum!

Thats what i've been trying to tell most of you for months!

Incase you don't know, it takes me ages to give up!

And i DON'T accept people insulting me!

I've only turned into a show off and an asshead to pay you all back for flaming me a few months ago! hopefully this will teach you a lesson!

I would stop if you could stop flaming me!

I used to be nice, but i was mocked because i got my opinions wrong, and one day decided to be like this.

god! you just can't accept how painfully stupid you are, can you? you CAN'T get along in this forum unless you stop bein an insufferably egotistical *****. you can't do that until you learn to accept criticism and you can't do that until your take your head out of your own ass enough to take a breath. you see how everyone's being to you now? it's because we've given you chance after chance and you just told us all to bugger off. well now we're treating you EXACTLY the same as you've been treating us.

don't like it? leave.

and before you reply to this: stop. you're just going to make a petty argument that serves no purpose than to make you look like a bigger jack ass than you already do. just leave the damn forums. no one wants you here and no matter how often you whine no one's going to like you. get out. now.

McMaster wants me here.

End of. You want me to stop? then stop flaming me on my wrong opinions!

And i like McMaster. A lot.

I'll stop this argument now.

This is my last word on the subject.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

NOW.

McMaster wants me here. you've got another forum to talk to him. go do it there. no one ELSE wants oyu here.

End of. You want me to stop? then stop flaming me on my wrong opinions!stop making such a glorious fool of yourself and then getting ****y any time someone corrects you. stop flaming us when we try to help. stop ignoring any and all attempts of any of us to correct you in any way shape or form.

I'll stop this argument now.

This is my last word on the subject.

LEAVE ME ALONE.

NOW.you're not god. stop acting like it. hell, you're just about the LEAST respected person here, why are we going to listen to you when you say stop when you won't do it yourself?! if you're going to demand respect, GIVE respect.

I CANNOT help over reacting.

i'm ignoring you because i've told everyone millions of times i cannot help it.

And do you know why people flame me because of my opinions?

I don't.

Actually, I don't have a problem with Shadowmoon, but then I also don't spend much time in most of the forum nowadays. He reacted in maybe not the best way in this situation IMO (S2K as well), but I don't have a problem with it (plus I don't know all of the background that led to it).

I'd still like you to submit yourself a smack in the head though, i'd love that.

That was not nice from you. This is how it all started. Look at the previous messages, and face the truth, you felt offended for a simple little joke S2k made.

Also, you can stop overreacting like that. If you think you can't, this is because you don't really want to stop it. And I have to say, everyone here is right about you. You got angry because they proved you were wrong. They didn't flame you because of your opinions, they simply told you that you were clearly wrong. Everyone makes mistakes, you know.


Now be nice, say sorry for being that naughty, and follow their advices. Respect them, and they will respect you. ;) You can be a pretty friendly dude when you want, just don't overreact like this and think twice before saying other people are wrong.

Now, what about getting back on-topic?
Also, I voted for Regulator, because all the other entries were good, and I couldn't decide who I would vote for.

And do you know why people flame me because of my opinions?

I don't.yes, we do. all of us know why people flame you because of your opinions. we've stated over and over again in every way except a detailed power point presentation exactly what our problems with you are. we've listed off every single one of them and what steps you can do to go about fixing them. all of them. we've given you ample time to follow our suggestions as well. we've done literally everything we can do in this situation. if you don't want to listen, then leave the forums. that's all there is to it. if you continue to stick around then it's because you WANT to be flamed and taunted for your idiocy.

and I get the feeling you're going to ask "but where did you list all of this?" and if you've ignored us so completely that you can't even figure out the answer to that then it's not worth the effort to tell you.

Also, you can stop overreacting like that. If you think you can't, this is because you don't really want to stop it. And I have to say, everyone here is right about you. You got angry because they proved you were wrong. They didn't flame you because of your opinions, they simply told you that you were clearly wrong. Everyone makes mistakes, you know.

Well, in fact Shadowmoon made a simple reading error (it's surprisingly easy to skip over unfamiliar words/phrases without realizing it; identifying them and deciding which ones are important enough to look up is not an easy skill to develop), which S2k pointed out by saying
Re-read my post and try again. A write-in vote. Write-in. Are you at all familiar with the concept? Heavens to Betsy, Betsy - you are the most half-witted half-wit who ever halved a wit.
which was unwarranted. Everyone does make mistakes, but they don't need to be insulted when they do. That hurts.

I think you've mostly missed the fiasco surrounding shadowmoon, but he's been given ample opportunities to gain some respect and now we're all fed up with it. S2K wasn't being malicious without reason.

Fine, I've missed some things, but this thread is not a valid example of Shadowmoon overreacting to someone simply telling him he is clearly wrong.

Since this thread has now bordering on flamewar and all discussion has stopped about the May '08 FAotM competition, I'm going to step in...


Now, we have two small problems:

1. Paul has disappeared for a week and has put me in charge of this :p
2. As indicated by Melon, Regulator doesn't wish to host the next competition.


Therefore, as Regulator has technically won and Akuryou13 is technically second, what I'm going to say is that if Regulator hasn't posted the new competition thread within 48 hours of this post being made, he will forfeit his victory and then Akuryou13 can create the next month's thread.


And since this thread's now done with:

*Thread closed*

One other point that Akuryou13 has made known to me and I feel should be posted for all to see :p

Akuryou13 has lost to a disqualified entry! Thus thwarting yet another attempt of his to win FAotM. But look on the bright side, Aku - at least you lost to another entry, unlike MtlAngelus, who lost to NOBODY!

:p
