Member of the Month Rule Thread

[Shikamaru Nara]

This is why it needed to be included in the new help guide.

[Devroux]

Let it be known, nominating may begin.

And it can pretty much begin as soon as the month begins, but you may just want to wait and see who starts deserving it for the month first.

[Throw Rasen-Shuriken]

As expected, exactly what I thought would happen.

[Jakropha]

Are you upset?
Or neutrally concerned?

[Throw Rasen-Shuriken]

Not upset or concerned, what I thought would happen, happened. So commented that. I said right from the start, that I knew how this was going to end, no matter what the votes said.

I didn't want to win this any way, tch.. I was just seeing how things would go, if someone came from behind to ended up with more votes, I was just curious what would happen, heh.

I had my fun, in my own strange way in other words, plus, putting my own theories to the test of this section, that I couldn't care too much for, I ignore this place usually, I already thought I knew how the people on the council were thinking and was right, since I get the feeling I know who's on that.

[Jakropha]

Yeah, I had that feeling too, Toma made it obvious

Either way, I would have been happy with whoever won.

Just hoping I win next month

I'm not on the council and had no vote, for the record. I just expressed my support of Luna.

That may sound like political talk but it is the actual and simple truth.

No not really, didn't think that at all, I figured even if someone beat her by a 100 votes to what she had and still was listed in the list of 5, she still would get it since, for as long as I have known the higher ups, no matter what the situation, never listen too much to a majority of the users at all, they just go on their own thoughts and that, with thinking what is best, with things.

This opinion is not completely inaccurate as an overall statement of forum hierarchy, but ironically the MoTM council isn't usually composed of the "higher ups." It's designed to have more community input.

I can see how it appears though, and this should be valid feedback to the council.

[Jakropha]

Now I feel dumb for thinking Toma had influence
While that isn't very dumb, yeah, Luna was an obvious winner.

Oh well, I wasn't saying it was nothing but all higher ups in there...since I said no matter what the situation, so eh I was more generalizing it overall or went onto that, as my opinion of the staff and that around the place, just bits of this and that in the same paragraph. Though no matter, I'm not wanting to hang about here, with discussing too much on anything.

If you think so then say so in the right places. However I don't agree with it. Not with this anyways. For the record I tend to vote on actual forum activity etc despite mod or not. I am happy to see that other users are in this more. ^^ AND now back to the subject here...

CONGRATS LUNA!!!! ^^

The highlighted part, you try that, in even the right places around here, you get shut down and shunned off with your opinion, since I already know from past experience.
Since everyone that you try and tell anything too, think they're all right and that's it, everyone else is wrong, no more to it.. That's from everything I've seen, about here anytime..
As for the activity part..if that was true, wishful would of ended up with it, since I've noticed her far more active then luna a lot of the days more, so eh. Never mind you saying that. Same goes for when DaphneLu was nominated, the other got it when she was more active, so it's definately not about activity.



As for this, this whole section is under contests, so a contest it must be, now which type of contest is this then, being put here? That's the question I doubt anyone would answer..

As for like I said last post here I'd rather not hang around here with discussion on things, a lot see the same way I do, since well, I've spoken enough to well over 10 people, over two sites plus EMail, in four days about it, while all the voting was going on, many share the same thoughts as I, with this.

[Toma RNK]

I am sorry, I misconstrued your whining, attempts to kick up dirt and generally badmouth people as an attempt to have an open dialogue. To prevent you the strain of needing to be bothered checking back here I will adhere to your proposed stereotype and not make an effort to bring anything up as planned.

Thanks for bringing down the thread, I hope you are moderately less butt hurt now but suspect you are just wallowing in how unfair and hard it is to be heard or respected. I don't know your history trying to suggest things, but given your current approach I would suggest actually talking it through in future.

[Schnarf]

^I lol'd.

Congrats.

[Jakropha]

Schnarf, why don't we talk anymore D:

I FREAKING LOVE YOU!

You're right. Regardless of how the votes went, Luna was basically going to win. It was destined. It's not because the people on the Council don't listen to you though. Granted, I will say that there have been times when a mod or two has basically not given a crap about what users say. I voted for Luna. I nominated Luna. This is not something I say very often, but I took her history and overall likability into account when voting. You could look at it as corrupt, but if we wanted to be legit, a lot of the members of certain months would be members that have already won before. No one wants that though because it would mean having a repeating and pointless winner regardless of how much they've done. This is my first time not giving a vote to the majority winner, but it's not because I dislike you or Wishful. I just felt that Luna has had this award coming to her for a long time. Now that she has received this award though, my viewpoint sways back into seeing the opinions of the majority. You were all good candidates. I was just behind Luna the entire time.

Well, I didn't first come into this thread with any intention of bringing it down, considering all I said when I first came in here, that this was expected, I only after brought up anything just because someone asked if I was upset or concerned which it wasn't at all the case, their thought obviously, was that I was, which no they couldn't be so far from being right at all with that, I was just explaining all to it, as to why it was expected on my part, no more no less.
As for your attempted attack, it was only flared by your own personal attachment to the user which won this, which I can say, I have none to her, I think very little of anything to do with or what she does or is and barely ever bother to speak to her, yet know how she is among people, so know enough about her.
