Thank you for that. I was going to clear up based on HCN's response that it was likely me that sent that message. I respect your decision to go against that, and knew that was a possible outcome. Just trying to keep the round interesting and keep up with wiki clan and Vindictive999's campaigning efforts. I appreciate you clearing it up though, as I didn't want that comment and reaction that followed it to shed any negative light on ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48. He's pretty much stayed out of this whole thing, it's been his clan doing the work.

The recent direction of this contest makes me sad. I can't imagine it's what the organizers were hoping for or intended to see when they put it together.
The back and forth over how votes are distributed isn't sending s good message to anyone.
That Dredd and Rogue haven't chimed in speaks highly to their character and applied willpower to stay out of the fray.

░SᑌᑕKᗩ░ᘻC░: Idea to get other clans into this was suggested by Vindictive999, I think as a measure to add some fun. Maybe not, it seems that I am very bad at reading other people :\ Sorry if I misread the original intentions. Later I found it to be fun to bring some more people here and add other clans to help mijapi300 clan in this. And I actually suggested some threads where to look for people. Now I feel a bit of a guilt for this to backfire, so I think ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48 won't hold the grudge against me if I change my vote for Mijapi to somewhat compensate bad advice given. It seems that I am provoking a waterfall of a negative emotions this week, so I totally would understand if Tricky would hold a grudge. ⓣⓡⓘⓒⓚⓨ48: My heart is with you, and I see that by the amount of support you won't lose because of a single vote, so it's just a gesture of my minor redemption. Don't be mad at me for that!

The back and forth over how votes are distributed isn't sending s good message to anyone. That Dredd and Rogue haven't chimed in speaks highly to their character and applied willpower to stay out of the fray. That and I think they've just been busy in real life or possibly working on bigger things in the future. Haven't seen either online frequently. Plus, it is driving traffic to the forum, which is good for all of us, whether you agree with the reason or not. Did this round get out of hand? Depends on who you ask. You could say both sides "player dirty", but in the end this is a voting contest. One would expect campaigning to occur, which is has in almost every round - this round just went above and beyond. Let me put it in a different perspective for you: leaving personal relationships and who you simply like better aside, and basing your decision only on the content of each contestant's contributions to the forum, who would you pick? Meaning even if a participant is your clanmate, you have to vote on who you think has influenced more people in a positive way. How can you possibly make that determination between people like tricky, Russel, Panda, or many others? In my mind, you can't. They all contribute such a large amount of positive content, and have likely influenced countless people we couldn't possibly measure.

Don't be mad at me for that! You know what the ironic thing is? The clan had no input into any of the previous rounds, hell tricky hadn't even mentioned it. The ONLY reason I got involved and asked if people would like to vote (never demanding) was because miljabi was posting about how the clan was voting for tricky. He doesn't need any help from me, I speak and listen to tricky everyday, that guy cares. He cares about this forum and the people in it. I only got involved because of the underhand tactics miljabi has employed. What saddens me the most is the message that he sent worked...

On one hand I admire @miji300 for his efforts.
On the other hand, reading that pm that was sent has made me feel disgusted and annoyed. The same feeling I have reserved for slimey underhand politicians.

I only got involved because of the underhand tactics miljabi has employed. What saddens me the most is the message that he sent worked.. First of all: please, when reading my post, imagine me in the following mood, because it is the mood I am in now: I can't agree or disagree with you. It is a complete mystery to me why people tend to vote in one thread and not vote in another. My reasoning is exactly because people know one person and don't know another. Maybe being in a same clan has to do something with it. Maybe not. I honestly don't understand why agitating to vote for somebody is called "underhand tactics". It is not forbidden, it is not a bribery or cheating. More than that, it was suggested, as a joke, by you, and then I posted suggestion in the thread, in the open. If that would be a cheating - the moderators would've pointed that out, to my understanding. If you remember - EVERY tanking\fake FB accounts post are usually responded by an admin\moderator in a matter of minutes. So again, it's hard to cheat when there are no spoken\unspoken\unwritten\written rules. Well, there are, but those are general forum rules, i.e. no politics, no religion, no offense, etc. And those were not broken.

After the pms I've had from mijapi300... I'd almost rather back out... Yall took this waaaay to seriously and have put your own intentions behind why you do the things you do for me. Whatever. I'm here to talk robots and tactics. Yall wanna play politics to get prizes for talking robots and tactics... Have at it. Ffs. Way to ruin it. I'm out.

Well, I stopped by to check the vote and tripped over this nonsense above. Come on people, it's just for fun. Stay classy please.
It's like Jon and Dany arguing about bending the knee when we all know they both rock and should just be awesome together. #nerdalert

This isn't under hand? [/quote] To be honest, if I am to send PM to people to vote for me, I would use smiles, WarHammer 40,000 reference (picture, most probably) and over-the-top cheesy wordplay. Probably something like: "Emperor need you help! Go and vote for your brethren! Do that until it's not too late!" So if we talk about exact wording here - I find it a bit extreme. But if we speak about the fact "sending PM to get the vote" - I find it completely normal. I pinged people in my clan and posted a link to a discord channel. However I used: "Make your choice! It's voting time!" or something like that. But that gives me only a small nudge, not exactly a leap forward. I think it's due to the fact that I am not so popular indeed.

I am incredibly disappointed- but perhaps not surprised- at how this thing has devolved, and this will certainly be a factor I consider when given the option for future promotions from Pixonic.
I am going to go ahead and lock this thread, because I don't see this going anywhere except further off the cliff. I'll close the poll and declare a winner in a couple hours, before I go out to drink more beer and watch more soccer.
