  1. JT:

    Do you prefer to go by the name 'Poll Lord' or 'Lord Pole'?

    And will your position be management or staff?

    Poll Lord.

    If the management ends up not taking this over, I want to become new Poll Lord and after that of course, I will no longer be eligible to be in the contest.

    If not me, others who REALLY want to do it (and are COMPETENT) would be welcome to challenge for the honor.

    Anyone? I didn't think so.

    But see no logical reason that Smokie gets it for life.

    <sigh> I only run it as its obvious I would tank it every year. happy.png

    I would put my T34 against your Tiger MV it would be Kursk all over again laugh.png

  2. I have given JT quite some stick in the past

    I don't know Nancy

    David, I believe to be a good guy, but I don't think he can win from here

    Costas has shown himself to be a statesman of late

    JT, because of the stick I have given you in the past, and I really believe you want it so bad, I will bring the remanant's of my Normandy command to your support.

    But please stop whinging, it is yours to take

    I should have run myself...I know it now but High Noon is already approaching.....tongue.png

    Poll Lords shouldn't be eligible.

    Maybe next year when you are no longer Poll Lord.

    Haha we'll see. wink.png

    Yes we will, said the blindman.

  4. Smokie has been silent on wiping out the votes. I still assume that was his intention. Very unfair to both NancyL and myself. It does seen a setup to detail the success of the current leaders and give David 48 another in to a second win.

    Why would he wipe all the votes and start over??

    He did mention taking the top 4 and let them fight it out.

    Because in all normal elections with runoffs everyone starts over again. That is fine if announced at the beginning not the end. Smokie owes us this information. If you're going to be Poll Lord year after year you need to spell out your plan clearly. Not leave massive holes of ambiguity.

    In this type of election JT, when the lower echelons drop off, the ones who have voted for them re-vote for the remaining candidates, who keep their current scores. I agree, if this is not the case, it will be unfair.

  5. Attention aschmention. David 48 started the slinging because he thought as usual I would ignore his relentless troll baiting. But enough is enough. If he is gonna dish it out and he did ... expect push back.

    The flame wars of yesteryear, were an awful lot worse than anything I have seen recently.

    Now, why not take a breath and let things ride, you are taking this so seriously, I am now wondering whether you are scamming the lot of us.

    This was meant to be fun and rule changes have always been part of the games we play as things evolve.

    Patsy's late inclusion was a laugh, a major defeat for me, but a laugh all the same.

    A four person run off just adds a little spice, ( I can't actually believe I said that ) I am sure Smokes will leave the scores as they are, which allows those that voted for others, to recast their votes, for those remaining. It is standard practise in certain voting structures.

    Good Luck

    Mr Moss,

    You, like Patsy are an absolute WINNER !

    Why thank you Mrs ND

    Brilliant piece of the use of Irony

  7. I think your actions were quite clever, when ND did the same for the Cat, we were outmanoeuvred, you had a much stronger base in your particular area than we did, I would suggest it goes in eras, this would not have been the case in the past. However, what is done is done, it is a two horse race, I wish you both luck, I guess you both wanted it more than the rest, and remember, me and ND did it with a smile.

    Merry Christmas, particularly to the unbelievers

    Moss von Whatever

    Moss, I do believe that the patsy appeals went out before the JT Plea....but I can't be bothered checking....not that it matters but probably had something to do with JT's actions.

    ND

    I had every intention of doing a campaign for the Cat, you just beat me to it, so I went along with it, I really do wish we had succeeded, we both had to wait a nomination.

    I do also believe we both meant it as a laugh, not the sorry episode it has turned in to, I have tried to stop the momentum, but people are seeing things on both sides that just are not there.

    Smokes I hold you to blame, buy me a beer next time we meet, and tell me some lies, only then will I forgive you.

  8. Right!!

    Can everybody just take a step back.

    This was never meant to be personal, but in my view a bit of fun.

    I am at a loss to how it got to this,

    Myself and ND, may take some of the blame, we decided unilaterally to promote the Ice Lady, but I assure you, in our eyes it was fun.

    I am a little dismayed at the outcome, so I am requesting a stop, a cessation of hostilities, it is not good.

    In Respect

  9. Actually, I think Jingthing's appeal for votes on the Pattaya forum is quite well done. Not begging -- just letting people know there's a contest, that he's in the running and introducing himself and reminding them of the posts he's done in the past. Asking for their vote. In marketing they call that "asking for the sale" Nothing the matter with that at all. You can't make a sale if you don't ask for it.

    And yes, I had the idea to approach my "hometown" forum to let them know I was in the running and also wanted their vote, or if they didn't want to vote for me, to ask them to vote for Jingthing.

    I don't think there is anything negative about doing this -- it's called "appealing to your base". What is negative is dragging down the opposition and Jingthing and I didn't do that with the appeals to our hometown forums.

    The other candidates could think about where their "hometowns" are on ThaiVisa -- perhaps it's just the Farang Pub where the contest originated. Fine. I guess their options are limited. But, don't fault Jingy and me for playing our networks.

    Neither of us have the cazonies to venture into the Very Important Visa forum to ask for votes. We're both pretty well known there, but we're afraid UbonJoe would unleash the kwai from his avatar to gore us to death.

    But I'm getting sick of reading the lie that I wrote anything bad about David's kids or family. I only questioned DAVIDS'S judgement as a parent in posting their photos on the internet.

    The kids are cute. Don't know about the kids' mother. Is that her in the avatar?

    I can't remember if I saw your post in regard to the spin on David's family, I will take your word you meant nothing bad by it, sometimes context is everything.

    My views on internet protection have been viewed on many previous times, particularly in a place I have not seen you frequent, but that was quite a lively affair too, but my views on this stand, in my humble opinion, I see nothing wrong with what David posts about his family. If you can educate me differently, be my guest.

    Yes, that is Miss Farm Girl, and in English form, take a look at your wording, for example, 'The kids are cute. Don't know about the kids' mother'.

    Was that deliberate, or am I taking it out of context?

  11. . I still don't think it's a good idea to post photos and personal details about your cute, young children on a public forum in an effort to win a silly internet contest. But, hey yes it is a parent's right to do that I suppose. But, the some of the other candidates twisted my comments to make me appear to be a nasty old biddy all because I'm concerned about child safety.

    Well this quote about this "silly internet contest" does it for me. I was beginning to get over a certain poster reminding me too much about the typical base colonel's wife but calling this contest silly after having made dispicable comments about our kids, yes our kids that we have seen thanks to Davids generousity develop from a just discernible bump to a balloon and then to two wonderful young children who have become our kids.

    Well I admit David probably will not be getting my vote but I am certain of one person who will not.

    David has been showing the kids, far prior to this thread, I do not think he has done it to garner votes, and I am not suggesting, as you deny above, he did, and I am not going back to check the exact wording.

    I also have fears of internet protection, but as they are so young, to be honest my belief is that there is very little, to no danger at all, and to a certain extent, I think it is a welcome relief to some of the cantankerous vitriol that gets thrown around.

    And before anyone else says it, I know I get involved too.

    Come On Pats

    Mossy.

    On your watch Patsy lost a vote last night and the offending voter even confessed taking his vote to thangthings camp......you seemed to be napping or something.

    .......neverdie isn't happy.

    Sir

    May I explain?

    The person who has defected has done it out of sympathy, a plea no less to the people of Pattaya, I have no fan base, unless the people of Rugby come to my aid, or of the high mountains in the Great Tours, or of the great motoring guys or of Golfing stardom, but of Pattaya, what can I do?

    Unless the Ladies come to my aid, the great English Oaks of the Pub, every Irishmen that has seen propaganda outside of its remit, I fear we will run out of time, but we know, yes we know, there can be only one................

    In the words of Robert Emmett- I have done

  13. Goshy gosh. I feel the love... dripping down over my supernova body.

    GT, Costas,Nancy or the Patsy'SmokinHot'Cat...............

    You Decide good people

    Moss

    On Boxing Day we are going to whittle it down to the top four contenders and let them fight it out.

    First..second...third...and of course the wooden spoon.

    I'm sure Mossfinn will have a tear of four nations nostalgia....

    Smoky

    You need to make this the 5 Nations, not four nations, considering I will be travelling most of the day tomorrow, and most people will be with family, taking into account the day, if you wanted to be currently in the bubble, I could argue it is the six nations and as Ireland are Champions, I would suggest I have a very good argument.

    Crikey, how old do you think I am?

    The Four Nations finished in 1939!!

    But never mind, I can't quite get 'things dripping down a supernova body', out of my head........................
