Hm I was trying to make my confusion amusing. I think I may have come off as more of just a douche. My apologies for making things more complicated, and I do appreciate all your effort, kudos for continuing whilst bed-ridden. Starve a fever, feed a cold :} Eat all your vegetables, and maybe some chicken soup

Ah, alrighty. True enough. Though the Princess Party thought they were disqualified at first as well lol I'm not trying to blame you for this, as you're right, most of the rest of the forum did seem to understand. Not sure what we missed that everyone else understood. Oh wells

I agree, actually. I wasn't necessarily trying to call you out on anything. In hind sight maybe it actually would have been better if the lack of a submission actually had disqualified us though lol I appreciate the chance of a last ditch effort, but apparently none of us actually felt like making use of it after missing the first dead line. But at least now if I participate again next year I'll know this would be the time to start spamming and amusing people in their usernotes. Live and learn~

Yeah, that one's totally my fault @_@ I completely missed the reference to the title. Sorry sorry. Apparently some of my confusion may stem from not paying enough attention or simply not making connections >_>'

After all, real elections tend to have some sort of "fix the goddamn country" policy.
No no, I totally got this one I was merely asking how you'd like the votes to look when submitted. But you're sick so I'll quit pestering you, worrying about protocol and just do it. My example was meant to be amusing, not to mock what you're trying to accomplish. I totally agree with the agenda. Its a good opportunity for some general input and a chance for whoever wins to actually do something for the people (/members)

Yeah. I know and despite my complaints that came off the wrong way I have had fun and do greatly appreciate your contributions. I didn't mean to come off as a pissy customer with an entitlement complex. I do apologize for being a headache :]

Again, I think I ended up being more of a pain than I intended. You don't need to apologize. I should have maybe jumped in chat to ask some questions or sent a PM rather than being catty in your thread. So I'm sorry as well :] Hope you feel better soon, and I'll be sending my vote now
