How many warnings have I had? I want to say two but I usually ignore private messages and whatnot.
This gives me an idea for a thread though.

You're focusing too much on one minor thing and missing the point of this competition. It's about having fun and finding the next CK. Sure, some people are only there for the former, and some only for the latter, but does it really matter who's who? In the end we get what we wanted: amusement and a qualified new member.
Let's stop derailing this competition to nit pick trivialities. That's the last thing this year's event needs.

Says the person who has nitpicked this year's entire competition on a daily basis.
I don't consider completely dismissing a viable candidate beforehand to be a "triviality," which is a point neither of you actually bothered to address. Not only was I surprised the staff did that, but publicly admitting it shows a level of dismissal or cognitive dissonance that is... well, shocking.
If the whole contest is a waste and you've already chosen your favorite(s) (which is a conclusion I would have dismissed before your statement on Breine), then at least have the integrity to admit it rather than wasting a lot of people's time "jumping through hoops" and "stringing them along," which is something you said the staff should avoid.
Good advice for anyone.
That is the second time today I've "heard" someone say "smoke a bowl"... What's with that?
A bucket would be overdoing things.
Yeah you're reading way too much into this. So what if we chose the winner or the finalists beforehand? I'm not admitting that we did, but what difference overall would it make?
Let's just let this go and enjoy the rest of what Amanda has in store. Learn to pick your battles, man.

This entire thread is webcomic gold.
I agree that would be weird; your imaginary friend who you heard say that is very wrong. Maybe you should have a word with him since you certainly don't seem to be paying attention to my actual statements. I've been referring to Del's own words which clearly state that Breine was eliminated due to a previously-reached conclusion by the staff and unwillingness to force certain (apparently staff-liked) members to "jump through hoops," whereas everyone else who the staff may have already reached a consensus on is still allowed, even encouraged, to do so. It's also curious why Breine this year is so much different from me last year.
None. Misrepresenting otherwise to encourage a pointless competition does, though.Originally Posted by Del
I cba to read any of what Raistlin has written but I would like it to be known that I am in complete agreement with whatever he says and if he would like to use my name in his promotional material, he should feel free to do so.
