Four leaders made it into the 'government' - Loony BoB, Psychotic, boris no no and Del Murder.

With 8/30 forums, #eoff may have most forums but they don't hold majority. They would need seven non-#eoff forum leaders to get a definite majority vote. However, with other #eoffers DMKA, o_O, Psychotic, Strider, Sepho and Sephiroth1999AD they can at least do whatever it takes to encourage chat activity. Knowing most other forum representatives also strongly support Newbie Rights, #eoff is in a strong position to reach their goals. Sadly, not one of the former Goomba Party runners made it to the final 30, however I will ensure that their voice is heard - by me! And then they'll achieve their goal, too. Once I finish this post or something.

Two Administrators (Dr Unne and myself) and two cid's Knights (Xander and Del Murder) won their respective forums, along with two Site Staffers (Strider and Heath). Not to be left out, former Forums Staff also made the list in the form of Citizen Bleys (former Admin) and Endless (former Cid's Knight). People of all sorts of ranks, ages, forum-ages, countries and backgrounds managed to get into the final 30 representatives and this is a great reflection of where EoFF stands today.

I'm particularly proud of the #eoff party as we never were lower than 4th (and that was a tight one, too, not to mention the runner had also assisted in another forum, thus taking on a double-workload). Everyone did me really, really proud. Thanks to all the newbies and #eoffers - and anyone else, too - who voted for me and for the #eoff party. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is first time in EoFF Election history that the same party (despite going under a different name) has won twice in a row. Not only did we win most forums, but those forums included a broad range - General Chat, The Lounge, General Gaming, Site Staff, FFTA, FF:CC, Video Game Music / TSW and CC/CT. All well deserved.

Congratulations also to the other winners and to anyone who got a vote, including no candidate, who beat my tally by one vote (68 votes over my 67) if I count correctly...

Parties by votes
BAoTW - 902 votes
#eoff - 887 votes (+1 write-in vote for RSL in General SE).
Ace - 601 votes
Fluffy Pink - 369 votes
Unne Avatar - 267 votes
Elitist - 103 votes
Anti-EoFF - 90 votes
Fabio - 49 votes

Just like America.

Everybody won, though, because #eoff won, and I for one know that's definitely better for everybody!

Wow! Congratulations, #eoff, and my congratulations to everyone else too. You've all done a fine job, no matter which party you were from. ^^ Also, it was very kind of Election Booth to organize this event and count all the votes. Lots of thanks to you. We shared the 2nd rank with BAotW, which isn't bad at all. So, seven forums are belong to us! (J/K) I can hardly believe I got 42 votes, and most votes in FFXII forums. My poetic skills are pretty much non-existent. Thanks to everyone who voted for me. *group huggles* Thanks also to everyone voting for Ace, to those who participated in the elections, those who were the leaders of the parties, and everyone who were representing a forum with fun and innovative ideas (it was really nice reading different parties' answers in every thread). ^^ It's been awesome, guys and girls.

Bah, BAoTW had more TOTAL votes, 902, than #eoff which only had 887.
Therefore... BAoTW SHOULD have been the winners.

Anyway... congratulations to everyone who won! Congratulations #eoff!

And I never thought I would just get 2 votes less than the famous Unne.. Man, we were so close...

I'm extremely confident that we'd have won by a decent margin on non-bias votes (in other words, votes from members that voted for more than just their own party). In fact, I'd expect Ace to be second if that happened... of course, only EB can know who voted what.

doop doop!

Pfft, you're just jealous because we won the elections.

Just like John Kerry won the US Elections!

Yea, sure.

I never voted for BAoTW just because it was my own party. I just voted for those who I think should have won.
About 15% of all my votes actually went to #eoff. Good job.
But what really matters is that everyone enjoyed the elections, and I really did.

Woooow. My answer sucked and I still won. Yay. ^_^

This calls for a crazy roadkilling spree. Who wants to join?

Yeah, well seeing as we had 14 and you had 5 2 days ago, I can only imagine that for that gap to be closed in two days your party voted for themselves as well. So cram it, Proto BoB!

[Ultima Shadow]

Psy's right. And I still think that BAoTW SHOULD have won all this!

Anyway... I may actually check out the #eoff chat-room soon. I don't even know what it's all about though.

(SPOILER)BAoTW still reigns supreme with its 902 total votes!

[Citizen Bleys]

Woooow. My answer sucked and I still won.

Pretty much my reaction to the FFXI forum answers.

[Misfit]

Stop quoting me! Just... just... stoppit.


And uh... congrats to the party that won!

PS: Not really.

[Citizen Bleys]

Stop quoting me! Just... just... stoppit.

Why?
