Happy New Years... and happy new leader(s)!

[Newby]

All of us here at x86 would like to welcome YOU to 2008.

Why not start off the new year with an announcement: we have the leader election results in!

(I went so far as to painfully tally them with my phone... because a certain whiny female (towelie) whined!)

In first place... we have Sidoh with 9 votes!

(this may be the first election iago didn't steal first place. A sign of things to come?!)

In second place... comes the ten-time champion... the vegan heavyweight: iaaaaaago! He came away with 8 votes.

But it was a tie at 8... so I broke it in his favor.

Why?

Who scooped up 8 votes? It wasn't dark_drake, no. It's a newcomer... (sorry myndy!)

That, my friends, is the seat-clenching question of the day.

Third place is... going to be announced as soon as I get some free time at a computer. So I can properly promote them.

[Blaze]

Hitmen.  :O

[Sidoh]

It wasn't dark_drake, no.

Maybe because he wasn't running.

Blaze has started a trend!  Throw out your guesses!

If he hadn't said it wasn't Myndy (what is this madness?), I would have said him, but now I guess Blaze!

[Hitmen]

I would have to guess blaze as well.

[iago]

I would have to guess blaze as well.

Heh, that's funny:

(06:15:46 PM) Ron: I still think it's Hitmen
(06:15:53 PM) Blaze: I agree with you, actually.

I'll just be laughing when it turns out that Towelie or CrAz3d won.

[Newby]

Tonight, at midnight EDT, I shall swear in our new leader. :]

Mwhaha. !!!

*dances about*

[Blaze]

Haha, that's just cruel! 

[Newby]

And I simply can't wait! Too much excitement!

Your new leader...

is...

blaze! He managed to tie iago with eight votes!

(so we have a new leader, a new first place, and iago has 10 wins in a row... hooray!)

Hats off to the candidates. There was a point during my counting that there would have been three new leaders... it's only a matter of time before that becomes a reality. Who knows how the tides will change in the next four months...

I guess we'll wait and see.

[iago]

(04:55:49 PM) iago2: omg you beat me!
(04:55:55 PM) iago2: You are a threat!
(04:56:13 PM) Sidoh: I bet it was a tie.  I'm not sure Newby got my vote in before he posted.  I voted really late lol
(04:56:16 PM) Sidoh: Congrats
(04:56:32 PM) iago2: You're still a threat! You're so going down
(04:56:37 PM) Sidoh: Nooo!
(04:56:37 PM) Sidoh:
(04:56:47 PM) iago2: In 4 months, the clan will want your blood!
(04:56:53 PM) Sidoh: LOL
(04:56:55 PM) Sidoh: Hahahah.
(04:56:55 PM) iago2: I did it to Zorm, then GameSnake. You're next!
(04:56:59 PM) iago2:
[...]
(04:57:48 PM) iago2: If I can convince people to vote Joe into the clan, I can convince them to lynch you
(04:57:48 PM) Sidoh: ( Thanks a lot )
(04:57:54 PM) Sidoh: HAHAHA

[Sidoh]

You left out the part where I committed suicide!

[iago]

That was a boring sidestory that wasn't really in sync and confused things.

Here is the sidestory:
(04:57:20 PM) Sidoh: Dude, don't mess around with comparing people to GameSnake.  A normal person would just commit suicide on the spot
(04:57:29 PM) Sidoh: Lucikly my will power is stron.....
(04:57:45 PM) Sidoh: ( I'm dead now )
(04:57:48 PM) Sidoh: ( Thanks a lot )

[Blaze]

I'd like to thank the academy.. err.. I mean, thanks everyone who voted for me!  You won't regret it (I hope). 

[MyndFyre]

(04:56:55 PM) iago2: I did it to Zorm, then GameSnake. You're next!

To be fair Sidoh, don't worry THAT much.  I think it's fair to say that >>I<< did it to GameSnake.  And I didn't even have to be a leader for that.

[Sidoh]

That's just how much you own!

[rabbit]

I'd just like to point out that when you change the members list post, there are 29 members, 25 active now.

You're only the one who started the vote. But the years of pent up anger towards him? That was all me. ME!

Oh no way!  I'd just like to say that if I could quote discussions from the super-secret members forum that doesn't exist and shouldn't be leaked, I could totally win this battle.

But you have to ask yourself, why did you want GameSnake kicked out? Why did you hate him? That was all me!

(note that I'm totally joking. )

[dark_drake]

Congratulations to Blaze!

[wires]

Damn you commies.

[Blaze]

Damn you commies.

I thought we went over this last time!  Federalism != Communism. 

[trust]

Can I be a leader?

[Blaze]

Can I be a leader?

Ugh.. I think you need to be a member to be eligible.

[trust]

Ugh.. I think you need to be a member to be eligible.

It's not one of those "No Purchase Necessary To Enter" deals?

[Hitmen]

Can I be a leader?

Ugh.. I think you need to be a member to be eligible.

It makes no mention of it in the rules. I pointed it out to newby once before I was a member and he said I couldn't

[trust]

I think I should stage a coup.

[Killer360]

Loser.

[iago]

Ugh.. I think you need to be a member to be eligible.

It makes no mention of it in the rules. I pointed it out to newby once before I was a member and he said I couldn't

"To be elected, a member must express interest in being a potential leader.  If somebody doesn't wish to be leader, they can't be voted for."

That implies that membership is required.

And no, Trust can't be leader. He's already ruined at least two clans, no sense in going for a three-fer.

Membership of what, though? I'm a member of the forum, I'm a member of AAA, I'm a member of Blockbuster AND Movie Gallery. I think I hold enough memberships that I'm overqualified for the job.

I haven't ruined any clans, but I'm assuming you're talking about e1 and I'm not sure which other one...

[Joe]

I'm a member of the forums, x86, two bands, my church, a few WoW guilds, and some other things I forgot, but I'm still not a leader. So, go join some WoW guilds.

Member, in the context of the rules, is a member of the clan. Interpretation of the rules is ultimately up to Newby, and I'm sure he'll agree with that.

The other one, from the stories I've been told, is xL.

[MyndFyre]

QFT.

I say next election let's let him be part of the voting pool.  When he gets no votes (except Warrior's, since he likes to be a 'tard) he can know how bad he fails.

xL was lame with or without him

You won't be laughing when I win.

I'll be laughing when you still couldn't get to the member forums.

Joe's been voted out and back in before Trust even got voted in a first time....hmmmm.....

You should be a news reporter.

[Joe]

No, news reporters never report about the people who fail so hard it's funny.

Well, there was the dude who got the DUI on the lawnmower, but..

Hahahaha.

What about this story?  That's more journalism, but it's still pretty funny!

you obviously didn't get what I was saying.
