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...

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.

But is it worth all the bad feeling that is being generated. It will not change any of our lives whoever wins. Maybe next year the rules will be more transparent, what I am saying that the candidates that remain have to put up with all this nonsense.

Those in the final running should be asked first before proceeding. IMHO. We have many, many good members here. Sadly, a few bad ones that tend to ruin it.

canuckamuck Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Watching the Chiang Mai faction having their knickers in a twist was quite satisfying already. because of how that community allowed Nancy to use their numbers to trash TA's run last year. But now having JT enter the pity party is beyond delightful. This POTY season is shaping up to be one of the best ever. 2017 karma's revenge.

smokie36 Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 The way this has been run has disillusioned all of those who voted for dave2 and left those who voted for Craig in the second round with a more difficult process of having to send a PM to Scott in order to revote. Its a mess so start a new poll and have a fair final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that would have skewed the vote horribly towards the Chiang Mai camp. Why would anyone want to do that? I mean they've probably got the easiest Immigration office coupled with the cleanest air in the realm so they don't need yet another free pass, do they?

And so get themselves into position to be POTY. Hence the recognizably good member should have stayed in for the win. I don't see prominent hit-and-run basher ezzra up there near the top for some reason. I think getting up early to grab the pole position should count for something. Great strategy as many members don't read beyond the first few posts. Edited December 18, 2017 by JSixpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanLaew Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Sounds like the finalists need to be very wary of who is endorsing them now. With the withdrawal of Dave2 and 'retirement' of Craig[insert numbers here], there's probably at least 1 voter who has already had 2 bites of the cherry... Anyone else remember my 'kiss of death' post? As the French say, "lawang le saboteur"... or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
