I'm not "demanding" anything; it's called a "suggestion". If you believe that the Site Admins are irrational enough to base their decisions on a wish to be contrary, then I don't see the point of a vote at all.
It really isn't all about you, and to be honest you seem very hotheaded to me, and I personally don't think you would be suited for the job as Game Moderator. Have a Nice Day !!!

Originally posted by wormwoodI think he just likes to debate, no matter what side of the issue he choose on that day way back in the year 2004. Who cares, I was just taking him at his most resent word. I'm not concerned with his private life.
I really doubt cash has any more credibility than arrakis, but lets just get this here as well, to keep the vote fair.

You are the one that said you were a gay hating racist not me I was just taking you at your word. Hard to tell when to believe you. Way back then several years ago or now?

Originally posted by no1marauderMy business is in fine shape thank you, that is why I have the time to play chess on the internet. The suggestion I made was not to anyone in particular, you made it a point to direct your response to me, which shows you are a hothead, and I am not the only one who thinks so. Chill out you just make yourself look like more of a hothead !!

I really wish you could stand back and see the how you come off to people. I hear the same kind of people on that "Coast to Coast" radio show at night. They talk about UFO's and conspiracy theories and all.
Here you are...a lawyer...who it seems spends most of his time on here...YET...has not only the time to analyze his own games...BUT EVERYONE ELSE'S. Not only that...take a little bit of info and off like a P.I and try to say "Here is the truth!" That is why paralegal seems to fit well. As well as prepare for your tourneys and all.
To play at the level you supposedly play at takes alot of study and prep work.
To analyze someone else's games also takes quite a bit of time I am sure...i don't have a program to do it...just use my analysis set and make notes.
Same thing with analyzing own games.
But the amount of time spent in the forums added to all of that...that just seems like alot.
Do you even work at that firm? Or do you just go and get coffee for people?
Wait...maybe sleep is not an option...I just came see the time consuming abilities and how that would relate to a normal life.

I addressed the point you raised as any member of these forums might. And I did so by keeping on point. You decided to flame in response; who's the "hothead"?

Originally posted by nmdavidbYour musings about my personal life are amusing, as are your attempts to pry into my personal matters. They are NOYFB. Some people like to share interesting tidbits about their personal life here like Schliemann did, but I prefer to keep it about RHP and whatever subjects interest me in the Forums.
They have pills for that you know.

Originally posted by gezzaIt depends on what Russ & Chris are looking for? In the timeout votes they wanted the opinion of all subscribers about something that impacted everyone and where every opinion was equally valid. So they sent out a PM. (The fact that the vote was a loaded question is beside the point.)
Representation!!!! I know that the standings will not change. I know that I am not going to get another 168 votes to carry me into the top 3. However, I feel that everyone should get a chance to vote. I think it is now fairly unlikely that there will be a global PM to subscribers, which is a shame.
In other votes, like this one, they wanted the opinion of those who are informed, know the issues and, in this case, know the candidates. Basically, forumites.
Its a consultation poll, not an election. The widest possible suffrage is not necessarily going to provide the admins with the right answers.
In the last Game Mod poll, they picked the candidates who came 1st, 7th, 10th and 12th in terms of votes cast. The vote tallies this time might be just as non-influential as last time.
So I agree with No.1, whatever this vote was meant to deliver has already been delivered. It's time now to get on with the job.

Like I said earlier, I have serious doubts about how this whole thing is being decided. It seems like votes were based almost entirely on rating or popularity depending on the voter. And, tbh, I don't particularly trust Russ or Chris' ability to do a better job...two 1200 players.
Honestly, I'd like to see Gatecrasher and Tebb have the final say, but that's not really my decision to make.
Also, with that information it certainly makes sense to close the vote now...

Have no fear Gate and Mr Tebb will be there 🙂 !!

Originally posted by no1marauderI wonder why they (mods) would feel the need to ask a potential game mod to tone down abusive language? Something that doesn't bode well for someone applying for such a position. Why do they seem so interested in helping you so much more than anyone else get elected? Somehow this seems like a conflict of interest.

Sarcastic remarks about something as important as racial issues and gay bashing doesn't really seem like the best personality for the job. Even with all the help you are getting from other mods you still keep digging deep holes.
