Am I alone here? Do I belong?

[Jiro]

Yes

[NorthernChaosGod]

Very well, carry on.

[Yar]

He came here for Mafia guys. That's the only reason.

He stays because he likes you.

Dammit, Dak beat me.

I wanted to be all like "OH HEY GUYS I KNOW WHY"

[Timekeeper]

There's a shiny new poll. Enjoy.

Thank you for creating such an elegant poll!

[Jiro]

I originally insulted you a lot more but figured other people might actually think I hate you.

[Timekeeper]

In the poll I was originally going to make, I did put some hate options in, though there were some nice options as well, but I understand

I also put a very similar remark about being PM though!

[Loony BoB]

I'm pretty sure that Del Snizz had never played an FF game either, and I believe he became a Cid's Knight. I'm not certain, though. It may have been someone else who was registered in 2000. But yeah, you aren't the first and won't be the last, I'm sure.

Still, shouldn't be PM. You may as well step down now. *nod*

[Timekeeper]

The PokéParty will never bow down to the Newbie Party! Never!

[qwertysaur]

To challenge one member of the Poképarty is to challenge the entire party. Are you sure you want to do that?

[Loony BoB]

It's what I'm supposed to do, and have done all along. So of course.

[Madonna]

Loony BoB, we are simply more popular than you and your cohorts. I blame it on being edgy, cool, and hip. Play some Pokémon and get back to us when you have a few badges.

[Loony BoB]

I've played it before, many of them. I own a few of the games, maybe about five. I'll play Pokémon again when an MMO comes out, or at the very least a 3D version of the game in which you can actually capture them all without the need for using other games or stupid promotional events. I hate Nintendo and how they justify themselves over such things. They must make an absolute mint because the amount of development they require for each new game seems like it would be minimal compared to other games.

But I digress. Our members and supporters, although outnumbering that of your party, did not all vote. I blame a mixture of offline lives keeping them occupied and confusion over the multiple voting rounds. Perhaps I did not explain the system well enough to them.

[Peegee]

So did Timekeeper just disappear in a puff of logic now? Does this mean Wes is going to get run over at the next zebra crossing?

[q]"Now it is such a bizarrely improbably coincidence that anything so mindbogglingly useful [the Babel fish] could have evolved by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.
The argument goes something like this: "I refuse to prove that I exist," says God, "for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing."
"But," says Man, "the Babel fish is a dead giveaway isn't it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don't. QED."
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic."
(Douglas Adams / 1952-2001 / The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy)[/q]

I was kind of hoping you'd play along a bit and not just quote the story.

I'm not as witty as Adams. Also I don't remember if I bothered finishing the second book but probably not.

[Madonna]

But I digress. Our members and supporters, although outnumbering that of your party, did not all vote. I blame a mixture of offline lives keeping them occupied and confusion over the multiple voting rounds. Perhaps I did not explain the system well enough to them.

To be clear, you are saying:
1. The Newbies outnumbered the Poké Party, thus the Newbies should have won because of simple numbers.

2. The non-voters did not vote because: a) they have "lives" (implying our voters do not have "lives") and b) your people are stupid since they cannot read and/or comprehend.

3. You understood everything perfectly, it was your team's fault, and you are obviously blameless (except for the part where you did not walk your crew of idiots through the elections by the hand and ensure your complete domination). If only everyone listened to you as dictator!

Did I get that right? It is what I took from that quote. Small wonder your party got nowhere, buddy.

[Loony BoB]

You got absolutely none of it right. Where the hell did you pull that from?

EDIT: *deletes stuff* As much as I'm sure you know I'd love to continue this kind of thing, we should probably avoid derailing the thread. =x
