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.

Oh dear, I am terribly sorry, please forgive me, another broken rule.

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.

It appears that rules are made to be broken and this is certainly he case here,one after the other! 

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.

I had no idea I was in this until 2 days ago. 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.

I would have, no idea who you are but I do like your username.

Sorry to hear this craigt3365. My wife threatens me with death, or worse, every time I say I've no money to give her for a new hand-bag or shoes.

Do you know what Colinneil can't stand?

Hang on, I got that wrong.

Do you know what? Colinneil can't stand!

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.

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.

You can upset all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot upset all the people all the time. -something like that anyway.

Why weren't those who voted for Dave2 in the second prelim allowed to change their vote when he was removed from the nominations?

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.

Oops, I thought this was the first year of the POTY competition. 

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.
