a popularity contest for the next CL?

...

ha~

we all know how the Homecoming vote turned out... =.=

Andromeda 10-31-2008 06:54 PM

Any respect I had left for the Outspark staff has now gone flying out the window

Loveless 10-31-2008 08:43 PM

Not to be mean but... yeah... shouldn't the CLs be chosen by the Outspark staff only?

Yes and this poll will be rigged I can see multiple accounts being made to favour the power hungry people. But honestly looking at the signature for one of the candidates they are telling you to vote for them. Honestly if you have to do that do you deserve to be a CL? I really don't think so people should be voting to who they think will make the best CL not because you asked them to vote for you.

:cries: -Feels the same-


I used to repsect the staff members but with things lately i dont have any at all. And this is nothing but another popularity contest >.>; Lazy outspark staff.

Hessah 10-31-2008 09:05 PM

wait a sec.. when they made a -certain person- a CL, i thought we all thought that Outspark was stupid and they should let the community show them who would make a good CL....

and... did Outspark pick the 3 and we just vote? If that's the case i guess its not too bad...

but i dont know any of them so... oh well

Loveless 10-31-2008 09:39 PM

I only know one of them and that one person I do respect but I'm not voting.

In terms of the multi-account voting... I'm sure they'll keep an eye out but they did claim to have over 2 million players. Even if 2 million did not all vote that's still a **** load of accounts to have to look through... D;

Hraesvelg 10-31-2008 09:39 PM

I wonder if they're trying to crash the business for a major tax writeoff, LOL

It didn't stop Oyo from beating Yosei for Homecoming Queen (Oh yes I know I'm gonna get yelled if any BR member sees this but it was so obvious with the huge gap Yosei had on Oyo before all of a sudden that gap was quickly closed and beaten)

This will be amusing to see there is no way they can keep track of multiple accounts. They can't even do it through IP if the person is using a proxy.

Hraesvelg 10-31-2008 10:28 PM

I'm writing in Ron Paul.

Yosei 11-01-2008 12:16 AM

I can answer any questions you guys have ._. I know it looks wrong, but the CL selection and acceptance process is actually pretty strict.

Hraesvelg 11-01-2008 12:26 AM

The candidates are prevetted, I hope?

Yosei 11-01-2008 12:29 AM

We have to make sure they fit the pre-set requirements for the CL program.

Blaaaaaaaah 11-01-2008 02:11 AM

o_o

I'm not so against voting or anything but I don't like it when they say "run their own campaign". Sounds.. I dunno, I guess it just sounds like popularity contests. And it also reminds me of uni recently, because there had been some elections going on in uni (no idea what for lmao) and people literally stopped me from going up certain stairs so they can try and make me vote for them ;___; </3 campaigns.

viasta 11-01-2008 03:17 AM

"run their own campaign" part sounds like they are running for president or something..trying to get people to vote for them with various reasons, most likey, in my opinion, it will be dumb reaons.
Cant the staff just pick themselves?

Exactly in one of the CL candidates signature they are asking you to vote for them and that's it. Honestly in a US election if one of the presidential candidates told you to vote for them would you?

Why would you vote for someone when they can't even tell you what they would do better only thing they can do is put it in their sig "Vote ______ for CL"

I completely condemn this method of choosing CLs but luckily for me I don't go to the Outspark forums anymore. But the idea of choosing CLs like this baffles me completely.

Unlike the homecoming queen event it didn't really matter if they put that stuff in their signature as they aren't gaining anything from it just bragging rights. But because the rigged poll winner will become a CL and telling you to vote for them in their sig I completely condemn this idea.

As its been said already this should be the staff decision and staff decision only nobody elses

This idea is almost as bad as the recent patch they updated the game with not as bad but almost...

Yosei 11-01-2008 03:47 AM

._. it only started today. Silkypico felt like doing something along with the theme of the election.

Hraesvelg 11-01-2008 04:09 AM

I don't see this as such a terrible idea, eh. In any sort of largish gaming community (some small ones, too) anyone seen as having any sort of official ties are slathered over by drooling sycophants...so even if they pluck someone out of obscurity, they'd be thrust into the whole popularity thing. A popularity contest doesn't seem too far from that.

Kenryuu 11-01-2008 04:22 AM

I dont know this all seems sorta wierd, cause its obvious Vivianne is very popular in Epith and Adrichiang is only sorta......But yeah...I want Adrichiang to win cause she helps me alot in the game and gives me advice lol :nahnah:

Lady-Loki 11-01-2008 02:13 PM

Just as with most elections I won't vote based on how well they pat themselves on the back. When it comes time to vote I will look at the latest posts made my the candidates and hopefully one of them would have been posting helpful responses in addition to campaign posts.

I also figure one may concentrate only on campaign posts, and in my vote, that would be a negative for them.

Sparkeh 11-01-2008 02:27 PM

This is creepy +_____+

and is Snappo new? Oo

Outspark is willing to do something HUGE! and FREAKY! O____O;

Yeah we all know that people make up excuses to make themselves feel better because they lost. Though I wont argue or go on with that... celtic ftw.

irroc29 11-02-2008 07:28 PM

Holy shiz.

I know Vivianne and adria (also Ah_Rin) and... o_O;

They hardly ever even post? omgzwtfup!? or something...
Outspark is epic fail.
Again.

Carmasa 11-02-2008 07:30 PM

Who are any of these people?

How about they make an actual event, instead of some BS like this.

Yosei 11-03-2008 01:07 AM

Its a CL event, we're a forum thing.

MikeyG 11-03-2008 01:57 AM

And btw andromeda, Oyo isnt even in BR ... :P
Shes in Cookies. But yeah these really are popularity contests....

11-03-2008 03:03 AM
