I have the names of the 38 people who voted for him, they should try and cast their vote for another candidate and if that does not work, send me a PM and I will manually add it to the count. Best of luck to the remaining candidates! Whole thing has become something of a clusterwotsit has it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there's some highs and some lows. But every year, it starts out as one, and ends up as one. That's where the fun is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect libel suits in the coming week (there are usually 2 or 3) and as it has been mentioned already, the world currency markets are watching with interest.

Credit where it's due, but you can't really call Naam the world currency market. He's just a linchpin player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingthing Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I do not think a withdrawal should have been allowed at this very late stage. Craigt3365 knew full well he was advancing and knew full well he might even win upon entering the finals. Highly irregular! I suggest given this mess that this year more than ever the winner of this final has a dark cloud of illegitimacy over their head. Thus clearly the only way to right this wrong is to take the top two of the finals and do a final final vote between them. Then the lost votes that Craig threw away and disrespected can have a clean chance to make their voices heard with certainty. Without this final final the winner this year will forever have an asterisk by their name or car model.

Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app When I was nominated for poty, I did not wish to be a candidate and asked for my name to be removed, I was told that it was not possible to do that. Having said that craig chose to remove himself for whatever reason, I care not one jot. The candidates we have left seem to be taking this very amicably, not like some of the voters, I guess they must be feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. Can't we go along with this without all the carping, after all it's supposed to be a bit of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
