Lektor has indicated that he may return to the original criteria. We shall see if sanity prevails.

The mid-competition rules change criteria happened here:

You may want to go back to that post and read forward from there for just a wee bit of drama.

If we're talking about the rules for next year, I'd go for pretty lax criteria - i.e. let lurkers vote too, with an anti-brigadering exception that if there is evidence of people recruiting votes in other subforums then voters thus far unseen that year are not counted in that vote. It's obviously up to whoever wants to run it next year though.

The oldest rule is organiser's discretion. The rules you state didn't do anything to stop brigadering so it's impossible to use them to run a historical-style Ms. OOT. Too many people jealous their subforums don't have Ms. competitions.

People who didn't make the cut as judges for the E8 onwards due to lack of involvement/commitment in Ms. OOT 2018 will be added to the list if they have 20 posts or more in OOT between 1 Jan 2018 and 29 Nov 2018 (i.e. sufficient commitment/involvement in OOT as a whole) and suddenly want to get involved at this late stage.

Just vote and I'll add you to the list.

Hahahahahahahaha! And Lucy yanks the football of sanity away! Lol me, I thought Lektor had some amount of integrity! Ok, just lock it up, since you are now going back on your word yet again, and making up completely new rules yet again! Hahahahahahahaha!

Do you have an alternative suggestion for how to nullify brigading?

Are you willing to run this next year?

You asked for help and were offered help, and instead of replying to those posts, you changed the rules yet again.

The suggestion is the same as always - be a man of your word and abide by your own beginning of competition rules, and let everyone vote, and people will help you disqualify those who should be disqualified. You still have not responded to the posts itt where you asked for help and people replied by offering help.

Could you check which of the following have at least 20 posts from 1 Jan 2018 to 29/11/2018?

If he has a rule which I believe he does from the start that is a carry-over from gregorio's contest last year then he had ultimate discretion to decide who is eligible!

Sure it may not be the best in terms of providing certainty but he has the right!

What I'd like to see though with all the effort you have put itt to date is for you to run it next year and show us all how to do it as you certainly seem like you know how it should be run.

bundy,

1) Your posts are garbage that people laugh at, and multiple people called for your containment weeks ago.

2) Your posts itt are hypocritical, contradictory, demonstrate a lack of integrity, and are not worthy of being responded to other than to laugh at or occasionally point out how wrong they are.

3) I have done far more work for Ms OOT in the past week than you ever have, and I have probably done as much or more work for Ms OOT than anyone else this year other than Lektor, certainly far more work than anyone other than Lektor wrto voter eligibility (actual eligibility checking work, not posting about eligibility) - which has resulted in 60+ wrongly disenfranchised OOT regs being re-enfranchised. There are hundreds more OOT regs who remain disenfranchised, including some who have spoken up itt and not been re-enfranchised, and Lektor is turning his back on taking steps to remedy it, instead just making up new rules and/or following troll suggestions.

Lektor,

1) Why did you ignore this post, which prompted JonnyA's post? (If it's not clear, I was volunteering to help even more than I have already - which cleared 60+ OOT regs - IF you would agree not to keep going back on your word, and to act with integrity.)


2) Why did you ignore what JonnyA wrote and ask him to do something other than what he volunteered to help do (which is what you asked for in the first place)?


3) Why you are going back on your word, not just from the beginning of the competition, but from your posts less than 30 hours ago?

Yeah you certainly enjoy seeing yourself as a person to keep LektorAJ on his toes - should be commended on your enthusiasm.

Sadly, and as I alluded to, it should have all be in vain as LektorAJ can do whatever he pleases as it is his competition and the rules that he set out before the competition started allowed this but your constant whining has led him to dilute his voting restrictions when he didn't really have to.

You should count yourself lucky he is even entertaining any of what you say.

patron, take a couple deep breaths and have an adult beverage. That should help you to find the sanity you're looking for.

I note that Chopstick also confessed to being an organizer of his own mass recruitment drive outside of OOT in a prior contest. The primary distinction was that his candidate lost anyhow.

Just to reiterate - the offer was to check for eligibility under the initial rules to alleviate the burden that you said forced you to change the rules.

As I don't think that the rules should change mid-contest, I'm not going to spend my time checking against different rules.

Typical American election process.

*according to the agreed upon 100/10 rule that Lektor originally asked for help verifying voters with

obv the new contest at this point is to troll people by invalidating their votes

a++, would hanging chad again

The weird thing about Lektor's "anti-brigadering" stance is that prior Ms. OOT competitions were so much fun precisely because of the politicking on each side. Like, I was (am!) an Emma Watson fan, but ninetynine99 killed it in every round that she was in. For example:

Zac Efron for Ms. OOT 2019.

I have well over 20 posts in 2018 and afaik I've been purged from the rolls.

He changed the requirements again and now you need 20 good posts

welp, I'm out then.

IMHO Lektor is once again changing the voting requirements because despite his efforts, AOC continues to slay.

i will no longer be voting in these stupid things, too many rule changes

No you're in. I got as far as the Ms on the voter list you're on. The following people are eligible and will be added to the next version of the list
O.A.F.K.1.1
thethethe
JoeC2012
econophile
amead
bware
ClarkNasty
goofyballer
JackInDaCrak
jalfrezi
matrat
mendicant loafer

The people yet to be checked is pretty much what I posted. I just added a couple of "L"s to the top of the list who I'd already found to be ineligible so I'd quickly know if another person was doing it properly or just adding random names.

That’s a great picture of cameron diaz
