I'm not saying you can't get a break. I'm just correcting facts. I gave Frank a break only because PancakeBrah had banned him from voting on his match. I'm trying to find an instance of you or patrown saying the same in the past.

Calm yourself.

I personally dislike the entire concept of disallowing votes, and from now on, any such requests will have to be made in sign-in posts. But I think this qualifies as a blanket request from Diode for patrown to not vote on his battles:

The vote won't count.

I said exactly that. I even posted saying I actively avoided voting on his battle because I didn't want it to lool like retaliation.

I am not discounting a vote because it went against me. I screen capped the vote. Read it. That shit wouldn't fly in the NBL let alone the playoffs.

You OK now?

Topical writer beefs are weird. Calm down, guys.

i dont have giants?

Lol yeah idk what that means

i have been mia but my thought is that disallowing votes by people that dont get or like your style is gay


and


it should not be tolerated


you dont get to choose who votes on your battles


what in the sam fuck is going on here.

it is a swaying and cheating tactic and im ridiculosly pissed off to see this all transpire. i know the people that would vote against me, disallowing their votes almost guarantees victory.


@Certain, we need to convene on this matter


@Diode you have confirmed to me that your a lame. i now dislike you. and yes i will be voting on all your battles going forward.

I'd agree. I just was thinking that disallowing votes should be flat-out impermissable. A voter not liking your writing style is not that voter's fault.

Except Frank has little man syndrome and has the butthurt disease. As evidenced in his hate vote.

I SHALL ALLOW FRANK TO VOTE IN ALL MY BATTLES. PERCHANCE HIS FAGGOTRY WILL CEASE, BUT I AM DUBIOUS.

LET IT BE DECREED; FRANK IS FAGBOY.

Dude is frazzled

I scribbled in a notepad and created his life

Delete dudes vote from our battle @Certain

You are the 15th best writer on this site, young man.

Nothing is getting deleted, even if it's not counted. You may vote on in PancakeBrah's battle. @Mike Wrecka will determine the outcomes of these battles and votes.

Wow pancake and certain are practically internet fuckimg each other.
And its clear they have a friendshit outside of NC.

Funny how certain gets the vote...and cake goes on a "frank is a fagboy" captain.
Making threads and all.

Yet its so hard to beleive he would vote for his keyboard buddy...the hilarity.

Wasnt surprised cake voted for him...l o fucking l.


And then.......


Its a "from now on if u want to disallow votes state it before the battle"

Convenient huh certain?

Innovator you're a dumbass. I would suggest not typing?

Me and Frank have "beef" from something entirely separate. Thus the fagboy comment. I voted for Certain because he had the better verse. It's required to vote on every battle. Other people also voted for Certain. Maybe you're internet fucking Frank LOLOLOLL!?!?R

You're out of the playoffs and don't know what the fuck you're talking about. So sit on the sidelines little guy.

In bold is what I read

So why vote in the first place?

Seems that rule would be understandably looked past due to your "beef"

Take certains rectum away from your face.

all votes will count. anyone can vote on any battle. we have not had even an iota or an inkling of people hate voting in this league. we also havent seen a trace of voting circles in this league. why would that change now? its ridiculous.


there is absolutely no reason someone can tell me that a vote shouldnt be allowed that will make sense to me. i allowed split eight votes all season and we were e beefing during it.

and tbh i think we are all grown ups here. people put discussion beefs aside for a topical league. i am confident of that. and even if you think someone will hate vote you, which i strongly dont think would ever happen, unless you lose 1-0 you cant complain


so lets get it together people and keep it moving

@Certain @Frank @PancakeBrah @Diode @Vulgar @patrown @Innovator @whoever @Vividlyvague

For serious guys? I'm glad I haven't been in here in the last 24.

Hate voting is horrible. Internet hate shouldn't even run THAT deep to commit to spiteful behavior, with all this pretense of dismissive attitudes. The topical world is overly sensitive and passive aggressive. Ironic that our personalities reflect the exact same.

frank r u schizophrenic a lil

I'm not passive aggressive. I'm like the nicest dude ever. But yeah I agree this season's been pretty passive aggressive.

And cake leave my smoking buddy Inno alone.

Buddha you are an amazing individual. I think i just gave myself diabetes.


Sidenote: the name changes are killing me.

I'm glad someone noticed. And Zen will return soon.

He's required to vote, as is Frank.

So guys, I'm drunk off apple pie moonshine and a tornado just hit my ole high school AND some dude just got shot down the road from me. Twat a night.

@ZYG, I disagree with your presentation of yourself as an alien. We all know you are a robot ... unless you are a robot alien.

Zygote's the fuckin man.

Lol at mike jumping in when I am involved

Obvious is obvious

When a dude practically says outright he will vote against you every round, dqing his vote is reasonable. But hey, take back Certain's declarations out of vengefulness because I beat you and then assure me you will be voting on my battles from now on out of butthurt. That is what a mature, objective league admin does. Totes McGoats.

As fat as Certain said, it is 2-2 right now. If you want to fuck me because you are mad you lost 8 to -2, go go ahead Mike. Prove what a joke you have made of the AOWL just to feel better about losing to me. Have a field day.

@Diode, disqualifying patrown's vote is unreasonable, though. This is trickier for me because I'm involved, but Mike Wrecka runs this league. Still, patrown voted for you last round. His lashing out against you in Week 10 was silly, but it also was out of character. He's not the type to hold grudges.

Furthermore, his argument was based on your style. If we all disallowed votes from anyone who doesn't like our style, well, there'd be no more voters.

But really, what Mike Wrecka said is right: Disallowing votes is childish. We hadn't had a single instance of it all season. The playoffs shouldn't be different, and I apologize for my lapse in judgment last night.

So if you want to hate-vote against patrown and Mike Wrecka and me and anyone else for the rest of time, that's your right, I suppose. But you're currently down 3-(-2), with a little more than an hour to turn that to 3-2 by casting your two votes and hope for another vote or two.

Nah. Changing the rules after confirming something is bullshit. Especially out of personal malice because the league admin is salty I beat him. I am done

Damn it looks like I missed allot. Blatant hate votes are bullshit though and shouldn't be allowed. I really don't see a reason why it would. I don't know all the facts with this and it's not my decision anyway, but I'm siding with Diode on this one.

No.

Votes have been nullified in the past because they're shittily explained, or don't show evidence that the conclusion has been drawn by comparing specific aspects of the verses being judged.

A provision's always there, maybe unwritten, that obvious hate votes will be discarded. But it's really emergency measures in case something comes to light showing someone has been explicitly intending to vote against someone- and it's so egregious that action must be taken to preserve the integrity of the league.

I've read some deleted posts ITT that seem a little too... emotionally involved for a topical league. And some of the 'beef' in general has overstepped its bounds. Lmao. As Mike Wrecka said, there is no reason why any disagreement should factor into any vote and therefore there is no reason why any vote should be disqualified. The underlying cause of "disagreements" are why every battle doesn't end 15-0.

God forbid one of u niglets go off the deep end, it's the moderator's job to evaluate the validity or whatever of your votes. That's at our discretion. I'd say everyone in staff positions right now is both invested enough in the league and logical enough to figure this microconflict out.

One thing everyone fails to mention- if topical writers are truly passive aggressive enough to fabricate reasoning b/c of some sadistic sense of voter justice, then you are all already aware of each others partiality and have been accounting for it with normalized voter bias every week

But this isn't fucking House of Cards. It's fun to speculate. And beef. But lettuce beef real tea...

If someone doesn't like your style, it is obviously a reflection on the approach and execution of your elaborations on topics, not a character assassination. (I've told many people I couldn't justify voting for them because of the core of their human fiber. That doesn't actually translate to me never voting for them) Moderators/ admins are impartial mediators, strong lol @ any one of us hate-voting participants.


The only votes that should be discounted are Frank's vote on Diode vs. Vulgar, Diode's vote on Certain vs. Frank, and Frank's vote on Mr. J vs. PCB... for being laughably unexplained in all cases. This is playoffs, uwotm8?@?@?@



Finally, clearly Mike Wrecka as league admin has precedence over league moderator Certain in all league decisions. Sorry brahs for any secret gentlemen agreements that have been broken? This ain't the supreme courts. The site's power structure shifts every week because people have real jobs and lives on the side. Hopefully you guys do, too.

PancakeBrah is reigning site Topical Administrator and is above both, you could confront him if you have further doubts.

Split8 outtie

@Diode , i assure you that i am not mad that you beat me. i obviously have much more pressing irl issues that i am dealing with. and beyond that, i never made it a goal to champ this league. i merely participated because i enjoy writing. but my main objective has always been to see this league run smoothly and grow expotentially.


I am currently without my laptop, which is being serviced and I just moved a few weeks ago which is the cause of my recent non participation. i apologize for that but it is what it is.

i would never hate vote anyone. and maybe my post against you was a bit over the top, but you picking and choosing who votes on your battles based on who likes your style is complete bullshit and will never occur in a league im running.

Can someone please vote on Diode-Vulgar?

da fuck is lettuce beef real tea???

SMH

lmao!!!!!!!

@ALIVE MAN, go vote on Diode vs. Vulgar as penance for no-showing.

Of course of course...

What was I thinking.

Holy molly what a blunder by me..whooaaa! Right certain?
