What a wonderful suggestion. Winterhawk's and Graphic Mouse's picture is simply stunning. Everyone can get lucky now and again (lol). But let's don't forget about consistence and the endless dedication to detail offered by Bill Turner and Dark Knight. Think of alienation of affection suffered by my wife and children, not to mention the loss of sleep, while this picture was being created

You know, this blatant self-promotion of your art is really petty and beneath you guys. I'm actually really surprised, I thought you had more class than that.

Besides, you're both wrong, you all need to

Vote For This Picture!

Boy were you wrong.

The person with IP address 147.136.216.** has been placing multiple votes for the same picture. Due to this fact I have made the polls Members Only once again. The polls log your vote along with the ip address of the person voting, and now with being on members only your user ID number. This log is reviewed by us moderators and cheating will not be tolerated. I have amended the polls to reflect the actual valid votes cast and will be checking on them again when the poll expires before we declare a winner.

It has been suggested that the polls are rigged because I look after them and that I am in the poll.

I therefore have removed my entry from the poll, if I win and if people think I cheated to win, I don't want to.

Quote:

This is probably the same Jack-stick that was stacking the votes... and he/she is pissed that they were caught... effe them Hawk... hop back in...

MMMMUUUUUHHAHAHAHA!!!!
one down, five to go!
Hey Bikerbot!!! Stop Cheatin!!!
heh heh heh....

p.s. think of the children. dammit.


Seriously, put it back Winter! I will lose to you, but not to any of these udder posers!

I don't think this is fair to your partner GraphicMouse. Do you guys? He has put a lot of hard work into this too. I'm not trying to be mean or nasty about this, just voicing my opinion.

This is true.

Also anybody knows that such an accusation leveled against Winterhawk has no merit whatsoever...

If your basing the accusation off the quote you posted, it could just as well mean "an independent panel of _judges_ as opposed to votes"...

If it was truly an insinuation that your cooking the results, well that????????s just juvenile.

And as a moderator who has not received _any_ votes, I certify everythings on the up and up.

Put the picture back up dude.

-Brick

Well aint this the biggest, stinkiest, crock of feces ever! Anybody who thinks Winterhawk is a cheater can bite my big hairy...

Winterhawk's entry has been returned to the polls. I will moderate the voting and will review the dispute about the vote and the posted voting rules.

... bottom!
(ewww)

Now let's get something straight... there is one person around here who gets to complain mindlessly, and that's ME.

Winterhawk has never cheated.

If there's something going on I'll start a fuss, until then Mister whoeveryouare - SHUT UP.

Max - put some pants on Bio, and shave.

I have been told that I have misinterpreted the original message sent to me and that it was in no way suppose to accuse me or anyone of fixing the polls And frankly I believe the person and I hold no ill will against them. I have also received a few PM's and e-mails regarding this subject (both good and bad).

Since becoming a moderator, I have always done the polls for the challenges and the awards we have tried various methods of doing this to avoid cheating and get rid of any unfair advantage (perceived or real). I might be naive but I really thought people would vote on the work from its merit and it didn't matter what was said. I never really cared if I won or not, I am one of those guys that talks a lot of sh!t when I am playing games or competing in any type of competition. Even when I suck at something I talk like I am the king and most of my friends do as well, I find this funny, as do the people I hang out with.

Being a moderator has good and bad points. I am chalking this up to a bad point.

No lynch mobs are require, I am fine with this, it is not a big deal. I have worked things out with the person that sent me the message and I believe that that did not mean things the way I interpreted them.

It also appears mine and my partners picture is back and that Optical is going to be the impartial party to review the votes. I hope this settles it.

GOOD

Welcome back.... NOw, since I didn't vote for this bad a$$ image the first time... can I now?

Glad to see you back!

Due to the fact that there were no posted rules for voting, I think it's only fair that those votes get put back.
Besides, this is supposed to be a friendly challenge, and there is no real 'prize' at stake.
