Favourite member!
Since a lot of topics have revolved around competitons lately. I thought I would make a new one. I want to make a list over the 10 most popular members on the site.
Here are the rules: 1. ONLY members are allowed to vote. (This is to prevent people from logging out and voting several times). 2. You may only vote once! 3. Voting is done by sending me a PM with your list. At least 5 names must be mentioned, and no more than 10 names maximum. 4. Explain why you have these members on your list. 5. Voting for yourself is illegal! 6. You CAN vote for Kosta This topic will run for some time allowing a lot of members to cast their votes. Of course there will be prizes to the winners :D |
FreeFreddy can't be the only one out there with an oppinion...
C'mon. Let your voices be heard :D |
I have decided to make a point based competition of these votes.
You other europeans out there might reckognize this from EuroVision, for instance. Here goes! 1. place = 12 points 2. place = 10 points 3. place = 8 points 4. place = 7 points 5. place = 6 points 6. place = 5 points 7. place = 4 points 8. place = 3 points 9. place = 2 points 10. place = 1 point So remember to make a note of which place your votes have :D |
Bah vote for me because i want the prize :twisted: :P
|
Just to give you a taste of what it looks like for the moment.
1. place ************* 32 points 2. place ************* 24 points 3. place ************* 18 points 4. place ************* 15 points 5. place ************* 13 points 6. place ************* 11 points 7. place ************* 8 points 8. place ************* 7 points 9. place ************* 6 points 10. place ************ 5 points 11. place ************ 4 points The reason why I do not give out the names is because I don't want you to think thoughts like "Oh poor John Smith who only have 4 points :cry: ... I'll give him some more points..." But you can see that there are a great competition going on, and a close race indeed. And Omuletzu... You are somewhere in this list :D |
Yay loyal followers !
BTW check your abandonia inbox, as i sent a detailed review :wink: If you have feedback, please send it :D |
wow you guys really must like me! 32 votes already!(Well I must have 32 seeing as I am the best)

I don't even know 13 members :(
|
Quote:
Just remember to give the reasons why these guys should be nominated! |
wow 6 more votes
for me :P |
lol..*whispers* Danny is a dreamer...
|
What is now with this vote? Is it no more available, now since Tom is away?
|
This was Tom's brainchild and Tom is the one you had to PM. I have no knowledge of who has gotten how many votes and I doubt Kosta does either. I think we will have to wait until Tom has a permanent internet connection again before this will go any further.
|
I think Kosta took over that... so be sure to write good things about him in your vote :P
|
heheh, actually I didn't. I am curious, but I will also try and keep the voting fair. Tom will drop by every now and then so I guess we'll see the results soon enough :)
|
The competition is still running. There are a lot of members out there who still have not voted. So I will keep the competiton open for a while longer.
The race is real tight now. There are a couple of candidates that are fighting over the number 1 spot. To all you members who have not voted: Get a move on! :twisted: |
These are the votes so far...
1. ******** 50 2. ******** 48 3. ******** 31 4. ******** 22 5. ******** 19 6. ******** 17 7. ******** 16 8. ******** 15 9. ******** 10 10. ******* 8 11. ******* 7 12. ******* 5 13. ******* 4 14. ******* 3 15. ******* 1 So you can see that there have been some new entries into the race as well. |
It's been a while since anyone have voted. So unless a new vote comes in in the next few days, I will stop the competition and reveal the outcome.
8) |
I didn't vote since I haven't been here long enough to make valid opinions.
|
What will you with the results ?
|
@ Data
This is just for fun. There will be prizes as mentioned before, but mainly this topic is just for fun :P @ The rest of the forum. If I do not get any votes PM'ed to me before midnight tonight CET, I will post the results. :) |
This competition is now officially closed.
The results will arrive shortly. (That is to say on tuesday... when I get back my old laptop with all the files on it). |
whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
I'll be away then and you can't promote me to super-guy waaaaaaaaaaarghh buuhuu |
Sorry about that, but I had to send my old laptop in for some repairs... and the repair-guy is incredibly slow! :evil:

|
We'll see, when the votes arrive and he's the top voted one, what you said may be true. :twisted: But either way, he could be just that popular... :wink:
|
Thanks a lot for your trust...
It really warms my heart to see that you two have so much faith in me... |
:? :shock:
I was just kidding... |
The world is full of conspiracy theories...some of them might be true...this one..maybe...

But when you think so... I'll try to be only serious and not understanding any fun and jokes any more from now on. :twisted: |

my political interests?
what does that mean? |
Quote:

"...in light of his recent spam fest"
lol... |
Glad no one voted for me because it's better to be unknown to be considered a spammer =)
|
Edit: I got some error message the first few times I tried to post this, but they still appeared. Odd.
Edit 2: Ran into problems sending Mail. Response: 550 Sender verify failed DEBUG MODE Line : 164 File : /var/www/abandonia.com/forum/includes/smtp.php Got that again when trying to post in other forums. |
happens sometimes when i post also...
|
All the reasons above are quotes taken from the guys who voted for you. Kosta and I have not voted, since we had access to the competition the whole time.
And if I get my way... EVERYONE named in that list will get a prize. :evil: |
1. place & 50 points:
- Master of the Dead! 6. place & 17 points: - Our own little spammer. 8. place & 15 points: - Because I like him. 9. place & 10 points: - For uploading Floor 13. 11. place & 7 points: - Cool name! 12. place & 5 points: - He's from India. I must admit that some of the reasons for the vote are downright strange :P 10. place & 8 points: - Because of his interesting name and because he posts often. I would like to thank everybody who voted for me :Mr_red: :crazy: |

|
Actually i am surprised... perhaps because when i justified my votes i gave serious reasons
|
I was surprised as well.
But I figured that all the reasons should count just as much, even if some of them was strange or downright silly :wink: This competition was about the most popular, and popularity can express itself in many ways. What I didn't get was why I was Master of the Dead :? |
Ummm.. bc i'm the master of Evil, and you keep me in my pit?
|
Quote:
|
Or maybe you are Master of The Dead! Maybe you live in a graveyard, you hang out all night with the zombies.
How could we know :shock: ? Maybe it is true :wow: :drool: :pissed::whipped: |
nah I'm master of the dead, hence my nickname ;)
|
Yeah, your'e the master master of dead Barins, or as i call it Braindeads so...:P
:banana: |
15. place & 1 point: Danny252
- He spammed. :| and nothing for my morale-keeping? Nothing for my.. umm.. sorta useless help? NOTHING FOR SETTLERS 2 GOLD? Useless. so who did vote for me? |
Are you back on English soil again?
I thought you were with your family in Sweden... |
Why should he want to go to Sweden???
|
I can be wrong. But I would guess to visit family ;)
|
god! is there some strange lack of intelligence for some reason?
I went to summer camp for a week. in 2 weeks I will go to denmark for 4 or so days and then spend the rest of 2 weeks in sweden. lalala... |
...and you expected us to know that?
|
I never said I was going to sweden last week..
and why did only 1 person vote for me? I, am like, the most ancient guy, apart from Kosta and titan, here. I still remember when sim-farm was uploaded, we had no forum, and there was som wierd uploader called checkboxG, and we started a daily upload routine. I uploaded s2G... |
Well... maybe it is, because at the time I made the topic, you were not a big part of the site :?
I hope you didn't get offended by this. |
hey, I wasn't voted for and I'm awesome =). Don't really pay much attention too it, I know it doesn't matter. (because I'm too awesome to be voted for...:D)
Edit: Never thought my 100th post would be about how awesome I am...how times have I said awesome? Four including the last awesome? Er...five now? |
totally awesome
|
freaky
|
Seeing as vipin is the only one here without a VIP pass...
His reward is easy. Have fun vipin 8) As for the rest of you. Please send me a PM with the kind of reward you want. If it is possible for me to give it to you, I will. |
reward...???wtf?
|
Your name is in the list, so even you are entitled to some sort of reward, Kiddá :P
|
I'd like a flight ticket with icelandair from Iceland to Minneapolis
|
Sorry, too expensive 8)
|
How 'bout:
iPod Flight ticket with Iceland Express (only 150-170 €) DVD Non Abaondoned computer game? (WCIII:TFT fx) ???? |
:lol:
I don't think so, buddy... But please. PM your requests from now on. |
WTF?
I can't get anything i want and im supposed to choose a reward...whaddayamean Reward then? |

Right right, now that that's straightened out we can get back on topic...if it isn't already dead.
|
What was the topic again? :wink: Oh yea, favorite member! I think Tom when he wakes up and reads this message, should restart this poll!! Anyone else agree?
-Sean |
I don't think he wants to hand out more prizes. Plus this isn't all that old...
|
Oh, ok...Then I guess I'll just wait to see what Tom has to say...o well... :cry:
-Sean |
This is what I have to say.
Seeing how the competition is fairly new, I will not start it anew. However as time passes, I might give new life to it. :wink: As for your plans to take over.... :shock: :o :) :D :lol: :mrgreen: |
Mwahahaha, the league of dark jedi grows!! We have new members in our rank Durak!!
-Sean |
When you take over, you have to do all the work too, so that wouldn't make that much fun for you I guess... :roll:
|
yey I get a good reward
A Free game! |
Quote:
The question I wanted to ask is - will this competition get started anew? *hides from dirty mods that want to accuse him for spamming* :ph34r: :ph34r: |
well there ARE a lot of new members
|
Indeed...
And maybe someone wanna chose me??? :angel: If someone vote for me...ill give him an: :cheers: Just love to promote myself :angel: :angel: |
I don't think it's a good idea. Mainly cause I won't get many votes, and that will make me look bad. :not_ok:
|
Quote:
You're still one of the most active on the forum :whistle: |
Yeah but that doesn't mean I'm liked very much. I don't know I just always assume people don't like me, cause then if I find out they actually don't it ain't as hard on the self esteem.
|
Yeah i also think we shouldn't make a new poll, because i have been offline a long period of time, and people won't vote for me :)
:sick: :eeeeeh: |
But people will then vote for ME! :w00t:
:bannana: |
Should this poll be awaken again, guess who could get much attention... :P
But actually, if you're really that interested in it, it could be not that bad idea... (btw we could need a smile that would be bound to a "hmm, thinking") |
I love to see a new poll in it..
But who decided who can get vote`s??? |
@Freddy
I will sugest to Tom that only members and Vips can be voted for! I wont let you win this one! :twisted: |
There should be couple of groups of pools, like most helpfull member, favorite member, funny, most promissing member etc...
Why not make it interesting, so that more people get 'awards' (just a sign for next 6 months next to their name) and then have a votes again in next six months (ot a year)... There also should be date set for a vote (like from - to) It might be interesting to see how much different voting will be. :D |
We'd just have to make sure, that there would be no hard feelings. That's just too much competition. And I guess girls would have an unfair advantige!!!
Nah, why compete? Let's contribute instead. |
´Cause people have psychological need for popularity?
|
Hmm i say vote for me...
Other than that... VOTE FOR ME AGAIN!!! :P |
Quote:
And a tendency to hold a grudge. Besides - I'd win anyway :bleh: :tomato: |
Quote:
|
you are aware that this would not be the first time we've held a Favourite member vote.
|
Girls rock. :ok:
But anyways, i would like to see the poll up again... Many good people who deserve to be chosen. |

I must admit that Sebatianos contributed more than me in these few days that he is on site! (I mean in filesize definetly, and in games, too!) |

@unknown hero
:wub: My public, how they love me!!! :tease: No, but seriously folks, I don't think such polls are a good idea. We're all members of something good here. There's really no need to compete. It takes all our effords to keep this site going and just one - without the support of the others, could not keep this up. Kosta :kosta: started it, but not even he alone could keep this up for so long. So let's :cheers: and enjoy what we have. Let's not spoil it. |
We're not 14 year old girls auditioning for cheerleadership (atleast not all)
I'm sure we can, like last times, take this as adults. If not than you're all a sad bunch |

And a tendency to hold a grudge. Besides - I'd win anyway :bleh: :tomato: [/b][/quote] Yes, but their need to be respected grows always stronger, than their selfprotection instinct can ever surpass. And they´ll hold a grudge anyway, so what´s the difference? And yes, You propably would :whistle: |

But then again, ask yourself if you understood their mature behavior, when they so cleverly masked it behind childlish behavior- |
Hmm stroggy you seem to think all 14 yr olds r thick...
Just so you know im not. Im one of the smartest inmy year plus for english maths and science i am currently gradeing @ levels that are equivalant to C in GCSE despite the fact im in Yr 9 Note: your not british so you wont understand then i shall laugh at you! |

You should let anyone vote for everybody. And in period of a month (more/less) collect votes and close voting and make list of first...I don't know....maybe 20!
|
Who to put up?
I think people with over 5 posts per day average. That way it would really be only those who are a bit more active. Can you just press search for that, or would you have to go through everybody's profile and take a look? |
Well I'm sure that I wont vote for anyone with less than 5 posts per day, and I'm sure you wont neighter!

no. read my post again think about it repeat |
Nah just me then id win...

Kosta only has 2 posts a day, are you going to ban voting for him?

I have that affect. Some people have just come here, so their over 5 posts might only be first time enthusiasm. Therefore, Should they be on the list? |
EDIT: @Wael
You gave me new e-mail adress (which I don't use anyway), so maybe you will be found somewhere on my list! :ok: @Havell Yes, YES! BAN! :w00t: |

I think your trying to pull a scam... I think you don´t have sharpener... |
Hey, no fighting - unless I can watch!
|
So hows the voting going to work?
A poll or do we make a list and send them in? |
I think we will send the list to Freddy.
@ Wael & co. Yesterday I left without electric power! :ranting: So much about croatia and EU!!! :pissed: |
Ok, people. You can send your votes to me through PM now. I'll collect and count them together and leave members out with less than 10 posts, either those that are voting or those voted for. So only active enough ones can be counted and can vote.
Let's say, you can place 2 votes: 1. Usual members, VIP's belong there too 2. Admins, as they are special ones... :angel: :whistle: Up to 20 best votes will be counted, number 1 the best, number 20 the last. You can vote only 1 time. Any repeated votes from the same member won't be counted. You could also, if you would like to, write your explanation about why you chose the two people. Let Mortal Kombat begin! :sneaky: |
Hey! Only two votes! Tom did ten votes! :ph34r:
EDIT: PM-ing votes.... |
Quote:
Btw., this vote will be held for one month, beginning with this day. I guess this would be enough time for all to place their votes. The 20 most voted members will be the winners. |
So we can vote for any two people as long as they are at least a member?
|
Is this the US elections or what :D
|
Ok...i know it..
i`m gonna vote for : .... and .... The answers are on the way freefreddy :sneaky: |
Ok and when are we going to see the results?

-Unknown hero- I´m your political base, so please don´t bully me anymore... Ok? |
Well, I think 1 month is enough for everyone to send in his / her vote. But if everyone would like to, the results of the vote can be presented earlier, as long as it'll be clear that no new votes would arrive anymore.
Btw., on suggestion of TheVoid you can now place 4 votes. 1 for regular member / VIP, 1 for an admin and 2 you can choose whom you would like to. Sorry that I didn't clean out the things earlier, I'm just not as clever as Tom and didn't think on it enough. :angel: Anyone who sent his 2 votes already can send 2 additional now if he would like to. |
:yawn: Not again!
|
I voted again... :angel:
|
Somehow I have the feeling this time the vote won't be as successfull as the first time... Only the "usually often posting" and well known members sent their votes in so far. <_<
|
Damm...have some patience...maybe it will come :ok:
|
Come to Croatia and (as I said) you wont leave with empty hands! :bleh:
To be serious - I think Croatia can offer a lot and can be compared even with Bahamas - trip is shorted and prices are cheaper. |

What are we supposed to do? :blink:

Does this voteing have to be done by PM?
PM takes so long.......... |

To be serious - I think Croatia can offer a lot and can be compared even with Bahamas - trip is shorted and prices are cheaper. @Wael When I saw your post, I realised that my post didn't really make any sence (cept. self-promoting)! And I really laughted at you message: Quote:

Croatia is a really popular place now. I know a LOT of people who visited Croatia last summer.
At least two schools in my city went there for graduation trips!! I would love to visit Croatia one day. It's really beautiful there :ok: |

Yes, you’ll not leave empty handed, trust me. Especially if you got girlfriend over there. :w00t: :whistle: :bleh: |

While you visiting Croatia, you can take a small excursion to Bosnia too. I would encourage you to try Bosnian’s ‘chevap’, one of the best meals on the world. :w00t: :ok: There are many attractions there, too. :) I would like to visit Egypt and pyramids. :) |
Or Bulgaria.Without the Capital Sofia. And we are not comunistic now :ranting:

Quote:
You can't judge Israel until you've walked through the ancient streets of Jerusalem and talking to the people there, jews and arabs. Or when you've stood in the grand plaza in front of the Western Wall will the Dome of the Rock looming up behind it. You can't judge the country un til you've spent a night in the sprawling city of Tel Aviv, visiting themed bars and restaurants or one of the truelly gigantic dancings. For example did you know that in Tel Aviv the biggest gay dancing is located? Its main frequenters are arabs (a lot of them palestinians) who fled their homes out of fear because of their nature. To them this Zionist entity is a beacon of hope. I myself have visited the Gaza Strip a few years ago (in a time of relative peace) together with my family in Israel. My own parents don't know I drank tea near the harbour of Gaza City. So I think before you go judge countries you should atleast have been there, or studied its history and people. Quote:
I suggest that, if you do plan on going, go to a hotel in the Sinai, next to the Red Sea. It is quite a while away from Cairo (to get to Cairo at sunrise you must take a bus at around 23:00 the day before) I suggest the tourist-city of Sharm El Sheikh. Thats where the big luxury hotels are. The city is a complete fake and most of the older hotels were constructed by Israel when Israel still owned the Sinai. But to stay in Cairo is not only uncomfortable, but also dangerous to your health. When I arrived with the bus in Cairo most people were watching the streetscenes with open mouth. It was pure chaos, there were trucks filled with misc. animal parts in a traffic jam. The smell of rotting flesh in the early sun stank to high heaven. There was a small canal filled with garbage, you couldn't see the water anymore! The buildings were ghastly and very unsafe and in between them there were fields people used to grow their own food. All this shrouded in a thick smog of gas and a smell of sewage. it was really a sight to behold once and never to see again. The pyramids themselves are amazing. When you arrive you can barely see whats in front of you due to the smog and such. But after an hour or so the smog starts lifting. I remember getting off the bus and asking where the pyramids were, I just saw one big block. Slowly the smog started lifting and the sun began to rise higher and eventually you saw this huge towering Pyramide in front of you. Its really amazing... until the merchants come. They'll pull at your clothes to get your attention so they can sell you postcards. Men with camels will literaly push you unto a camel and then demand rediculous prices for a camelride you didn't even want! Even policemen will tell you to follow them so they can show you some things. While this does give you access to some sites not viewable to the public (they are closed off with barred fences and only the policemen at the site have they keys) it will cost you afterwards when they start pleading for more money to feed their families. And often the amazing panorama of the pyramids are disturbed by the ghastly skyline of the brown city at the background. The Sfynx is very nice (yet quite small in retrospec) but it isn't worth paying for to gain closer entry. You just get leaded into an obvious recreation of a temple and then the guides claim it was found in the condition it is in now (which is obviously a lie) To get an all-inclusif and safe tour through the city you must take the bustour (the planes are too unsafe, one plane travelling from the Sharm el Sheikh airport to Cairo crashed the day I returned to belgium) plus the tour also includes a meal at a good restaurant (many of the restaurants in Egypt are very unhealthy) But sadly after the pyramids and a visit to the Museum of Archeology the guide rambles on and on about the greatness of their former president Nasser and his great achievements like the building of the Aswan Dam and his unification of muslim countries in a war against Israel (which they eventually lost) The tour of Cairo eventually ends in a plaza near one of the oldest and most famous Mosque and 'College' of Egypt. I don't need to tell you this is a highly fanatical area. You can join the other tourists in a bar serving tea and Baklava but you'll hace to beat the beggars off with a stick (they really come in swarms... try not to look too wealthy) Or you canb rowse the bazar... but look out for pickpockets since the bazar is packed with people. I'll PM you a few photos of my trip to Egypt. oh and one last thing: in the hotels, when ordering water ALWAYS ask for bottled water. since they'll often try to give you a big glass with simple tapwater. While this water is probably okay, us westerners are not used to it at all and you'll probably get sick a bit after drinking it Anyway, this is off topic. |
-I´d like to continue this argument,
but as you said, it´s offtopic, so I´ll let you have the last word- |

I don't know if this board supports option to make two topics out of this one (it would be nice to separate discussions).
Thanks strrogy for very detailed info. I would like to see these photos. I would be more interested to be part of archeological team, but today that's out of the question. I know you must have felt terrible as they spoke against your country, but occupation of foreign countries land never brings popularity. Just check today’s USA status, after occupation of IRAQ. (with this we are even more :ot: ) I think that there is much more to see in Egypt then pyramids, but I might be wrong. And as for Sfynx, its face got partially destroyed at beginning of ottoman occupation of Egypt, as Islam does not allot representation of face to be on picture or on the sculpture (this is what they taught us in the school back in Bosnia). I am very grateful that ottomans did not destroy grave plates (known as stechci) from the time of Bosnian Kingdom back in my country, as these contained a lot of sculptures of a faces. Did you have a chance to go to southern Egypt? |
i'll reply in PM if you don't mind

Dont go to :ot:

Right.
Sorry :D |
I still don't understand who and how we are supposed to vote.
|
You vote by pming a list of 5 candidates i think...
I think you PM FreeFreddy... |
You PM Fredy
|
4 or 5 candidates?
|
You vote for one normal member or VIP (not an admin), one admin and two of anyone, so:
1. Ordinary member or VIP. 2. Admin 3. Anyone 4. Anyone |
The votes go to me, I count them all (without cheating, of course... :whistle: :sneaky:) and will post the result of the votes here in around a month or earlier if it will be clear that no votes will arrive anymore.

Some of them are quite ugly, but those Piltvice Lakes look amazing! :w00t: Anyway, this is seriously becoming the Favourite Member's Country thread, so let's make one step beyond, oki? :) Well, I wrote this HUGE speech about the reasons of voting for me, but I used the sheets to cover wendymaree's phoenix cage, and I won't bother to rewrite it. Simply put, vote anyone you want ( :ph34r: http://heima.olivant.fo/~framtak/images/littlelud2.gif ) :whistle: |

I still don't understand why we have to vote for an admin.
|
:adminpower: that's why!
|
There are only 5 or so admins aren't there?
If we all have to vote for at least one, then theres a very good chance they'll get on the list. It's just a cheap way of getting votes. |
Hm, I actually understood there will be 3 lists in the end. Admin top list, VIP top list, and others top list... but perhaps I just misunderstood
|
To solve this there could be a separate table for admins, besides, two of my people were admins anyway.
|
Even if there are different catagories, it's still a cheap way of getting votes. There would have to be at least one person who would rather not vote for a admin, but you have now forced it on them to vote for one.

Quote:
Anyways, sent in my votes.... and none were for you because you nag too much :P :adminpower: |
Oh Shut Up You!!!!!! :P
Admins rock.... Tom kicks ass with his pixel art and is very helpful..... The others are just as helpful but i dont know who the *%$? they are... |
I don't care who votes for me or not. I don't care who wins your little popularity contest. Makes no difference to me.

Well actually that is wrong.
A Quotation is when you repeat what somebody says without editing. A Quote is an abbrevation that's not actually in my dictionary (it is dated tho) :whistle: |

btw thanks... Thats why I didn´t say you two... /anyone know Magics street adress :whistle:/ |
No, and no one ever will. There are no information about that (I kicked him into another reality)!

Yes i do...
its Number 1, Whitehouse Washington DC USA If thats wrong im british and im tired.... |
I believe the Whitehouse is number 28 or something stupid like that (being in the centre of the road).

Hey Havell, noce to see your old Avatar back! I missed it :rifle: (and still no hit).

What was the avatar you were using before now.

George W Bush can't be blamed for anything.
The I-D-I-O-T is not smart enough to make any of his own decisions. He is the public figurehead his advisors make all his decisions. And there as thick as me... |
When I lost VIP status i switched back to my old old of Manny Calavera, I then switched to the guy pointing a gun at a cat.
|
Ahhh yes I remember now.
|
:ot:
|
Stop complaining Magic, you do it yourself.
|
Exactly. Therefore I'll lock it now until the votes arrive. And btw., the list will be splitted, of course. Admins and usual members will have their separate vote numbers.
|
Well, seeing as no one intends to send his votes in anymore, I'll present the results somewhere in the middle of the coming week, probably at the weekend. So if you still wish to send them, hurry up! ;)
|
So, people. The time has come. Feel the smash of the hammer and see the votes! :D
The votes will be presented beginning with the most voted member, ending with the one least voted for. And no, I didn't cheat, my word on it. Admins FreeFreddy - 8 (sweetest guy I know of, true friend, he da best. Good guy, good spammer. He has always been a great help to this site, and he still is) Tom Henrik - 7 (he's a Wunderkind. Good, polite, helpful friend. Absolute a good guy. Gives answers very quick by PM and it was very helpful to me in the past. For generally getting this site really active, until Tom came along updates were quite rare and the site was fizzling out but he started it up again. He's my favorite member. He is a big help to the site and deserves the best-member award) Kosta - 5 (Because he's a god. Just a good guy... For creating such a brilliant website :D . Nice unix related questions ;)) The Picard - 3 (He has been with the site for a long time, and is always ready to help out to the best of his efforts. As he's my captian) Titan - 1 Maikel - 1 (For doing a great job with the site redesign.) Regulars Sebatianos - 4 (cuz in little time he's here, he suplied many games (and reviewed also), he is from Slovenia, he's half dalmatian (croatian). He only just arrived but has been very active and has already started to add good games to the site and he is a nice person.) Unknown Hero - 4 Stroggy - 3 (His sarcasm is funny.) TheVoid - 3 (Alberto is a good friendo, He is cool. Cool friend. He is everywhere, and his posts are usually very informative and helpful. Most of the times they are also great fun to read. Also, he is the only competition I have when it comes to being perfect. :whistle:.) Wendymaree - 3 (She is the friendliest person in the whole of Abandonia. She has done so much for this site, by reviewing, uploading and helping out in general.) Puffin - 2 (She's my best friend, I know her for long time already.) Wormpaul - 2 Kon Tiki - 2 (Very silent member but is making a lot and good reviews of the games...) RHavell - 1 Magic - 1 Durak - 1 (For the link back from forum to game idea.) Ok, that's it. Not many votes as you can see... Well, don't fight because of the places and have fun! :ok: |
Thanks to all who voted (not just for me)
I myself didn't vote, ask me again in a few months once I get to know everyone better. |
I see I have to make some changes here...
First you overtake my post-count, and now you slipped past me in popularity as well.... :ok: |
Oh, excuse me. I actually awaited you to be the most voted... :whistle:
I guess I'll have to watch out once you'll finish your university... :D |
Funny how in both cases the person who organised the vote won :whistle:
Anyway, I got a vote! :w00t: |
Quote:
|
I'm (almost) first!!!!! :tnx: :tnx:
Will Sebatianos and me get free trip to Croatia??? |
I'm sort of second, but in very good company. :cheers:
I expected Puffin to get more votes though...... @ Unknow Hero: Congrats! You have won a free trip to the beautiful city of Split. Have fun and enjoy :ok: |
I got a point :drool:
|
But, Kosta is in Zagreb!!! What about free trip to Zagreb, and have a meeting with Kosta in caffe bar! :bleh:
(for better cooperation in future) |
Thx all for voting me!!!..
Really appriciating it :angel: |
I can't believe none of you even gave me one STINKIN LOUSY VOTE! :ranting:
I didn't even get one! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: Congratulations, all you loved and vote-filled people. :cry: You did great. But I am a sore loser, and now :evil: you'll just have to wait and see! :evil: three words: mustard of doom |

anyway. all winners have won an all-exclusive trip to the country of Molvania! Molvania A country filled with wonders and preserved in its natural 1940's state. Just notheast of Romania and downwind from Chernobyl you'll find a country rich in culture and language. |
Arethe votes ready :blink:
|
I liked the first competition better ;)
Those were the days...... I was still popular.... ;) |
:D
Yeah, but you are still helpful. :bleh: |
Indeed...But it sometimes you gotta make decisions in life :ok:
|
Can i know who voted for me other than myself?
JK didnt vote at all.. |
Thank you all for your votes. I really didn't deserve it, but I'm glad you disagree.
@Hero - forget the free trip you cheapskate. Let's just meet in Zagreb (you'll have the longer way then me though :bleh: ). Congratulations to everybody else who got a vote (and even if you didn't get any votes - I still respect you - ALL THE REGULAR MEMBERS OF THE SITE). Now let's :party: |
I actually voted for Magic and Sebationos, and Hero, and Tom Henrik.
|
Well, I was in Germany for two weeks and I didn't know that there was a voting... But I think we all know, for whom I would vote :whistle:
|
For Freddy?
|
Maybe Sebatianos? They do live together... so...
;) |
Who live together?? Sebatianos and rainwife? :unsure:
EDIT: *goes look at rainwife's profile* Ah, yeah, you right! :ok: |
wouldn't anyone vote for me? :cry:
I ain't kiddin. This hit me hard. :cry: I mean, I was at least expecting one vote, but no. :ranting: :cry: |
Ok, I will vote for you in next voteing maybe!
|
Don't want a vote out of sympathy. :ph34r:
|
And what does Seb mean by REGULAR. Is that supposed ta be an emphasis toward something. You weren't calling the non-voted, losers were you. :ranting:
Oh, what am I whining about. I should be happy for you guys. I'm sorry. :( In honor of the winners, I have sent in four good games to Tom, with permission, in celebration. :cheers: |
Oh well, seems like I'm not popular... Hey, nothing new! :whistle:
|
Fawfulhasfury and Eagle Of Fire, in all sincerity you're both popular with me...and not just with me. You're both terrific.
|
I unnoficially vote for eagle of fire, wendy and tom. You guys have helped me tons... :kosta:
|
"unnoficialy"? LOL :ok:
|
Well I wasn't expecting to be on the list, and I wasn't. :Brain:
But I am surprised at how many little votes there were. |
Are the votes ready? :blink:
|
Didnt see it ??
Look at page nr 20...there you can see who has won... |
Quote:
|
Well if you decide to have another one. Should wait at least a month I think. I will vote next time.
|
Or till we got 900 or 1000 members :ok:
|
wendy, thanks. but I don't need the sympathy anymore. Not getting a vote happened on the wrong day that's all. You see, my cat, Pepper, died, and I got pretty sentimental that day. Congrats to everybody! :cheers:

I think just being a part of something like abandonia is a reward in itself. As I said from the begingng on - I was against such a competition, because it can be unfair to some people. So respect to all who make abandonia what it is - you're included! |
thanks, Seb. :D

Fawfulhasfury, my cat died a few weeks ago too. I know how horrible it is. No wonder you were upset. *hugs* But I must tell you something, I never say anything I don't mean one hundred per cent. Sometimes I might seem a bit daggy or whatever, but the words are real.

But i dindnt vote for you Sebastianos (dont ask me why..) but still love you... So dont take it to hard.. :angel: Wormpaul :angel: |
Well the only thing I had against it was the fact that we had to vote for an Admin, but that was till I found out they put them on a different list.
|
Well, we could start another try on voting, to have more fair results this time... Don't expect me on taking them over now, though. We write two exams in school, one this Friday and one next Friday, so I'll have to learn (good excuse, hm?) :whistle:

Naah...
I don't think there should be a new competition. |

I really apriciated it :angel: |
How do we start it up? I want to vote!

That's up to one of the admins who would volunteer to gather the votes, count them and post later, I guess.
|
Yes..
Only if they wanna do it :bleh: |
wow 25 pages.
if we will do another vote round i'm sure it will be in a different thread. Closing. |
