Two can play at this game.

I refuse to vote as neither of them should have made it this far. This tournament is under protest. I declare shenanigans.

I cannot believe that the squirrel beat the anaconda. Go Emperor Pengine, reign supreme over the squirrel, eat all his nut's and shit so he starves

Protest all you want, but I do not manipulate votes.

Shenanigans...

By that are you referring to people not taking a vote seriously, as in, which one would actually win, rather than which one would you (they) like to win?

If that is the case then I would say if a vote were taken truly seriously it would in fact generate a predictable outcome therfore rendering the whole subject a waste of time.

I guess what I am saying is that if people are voting with their hearts rather than their heads then the whole Animal Wars are far more fun as the outcome is unpredictable and could in fact prove to be quite funny.

Or are you saying that BaB is blatantly cheating and coercing others into voting his way

How can these votes be rigged?

The reason we started this whole contest was because it was so non-nonsensical that anyone would make up a criteria for voting.

Some based on actual facts.
Some on appearance.
Some because of the pictures Typhoid posts.
Some just to.

I've enjoyed the polls even if I'm sad to see the Penguin loses.

I don't think it's rigged, but as Rick stated I think people are purposely voting for the underdog just for the sake of doing so. If you are going to vote for the underdog, I think the most fun part would be to argue your justification for doing so. Like say... having the squirrel win by pelting the Penguin to death with acorns... say... there it is!

Voting now.

Personally I voted for the squirrel because back when I was 12, I was chasing one, and I broke my arm.

I respect the squirrel now.

But yes. The big idea of this whole thing was that there was [i]no[/u] criteria for voting. At all. It's not a battle to the death, battle of wits, or even battle of what you like more. Just a battle.

Granted, I would like people to state what they voted for and why, because mass hilarity could possibly ensue.

And lets also keep in mind I wasn't really serious with my protest. I did declare shenanigans after all

Fyacin · 05-19-2009, 09:31 PM

But shenanigans are serious buisiness! THEY ARE THE MOST SERIOUS OF ALL BUISINESSES.
