Why? Because I managed to gather up an army of supporters larger than the ABC Party itself was to begin with? Newsflash, kiddo. Elections are won by campaigning to the majority. The spam zone regulars make up a small fraction of the forum. While everyone who participated in the hate crusade was busy telling the minority why they think I "suck" and all sorts of other hurtful things, I got off my ass and started campaigning. Why do you think I was so seemingly "inactive" during the election process? I knew I would never win over the haters. So I recruited new supporters, and once the poll came up they were reminded that it was time to vote. Every vote has equal value. Yours is worth 1 point. The 100+ guys who have voted for me each have a say of equal value to yours. Sly ENCOURAGED contacting people to ask for votes within the rules for this election. Mods deal with EVERYONE who posts in their section. Not just the regular non-spammers of that section or the spam zone crowd (who I know I'm not popular with). I wanted to see what everyone who comes into my section had to say, and it looks as if the majority want me to become mod. Newcomers have just as much of a right to vote as the veterans. Anyone who says these people don't "deserve" to vote or that they should not have a say is just as uninformed as they claim my supporters to be.
I said from DAY ONE that I insisted on fighting a fair fight and I have done just that. How many anti-Coco or anti-Crock threads did you see me make during this entire contest? That's right. NONE. I insisted on not stooping to the low's that those in the hate crusade did. I never gave up because I want this opportunity. I've had loyal supporters from the beginning who alongside my army of supporters still want to see me win this thing. I didn't bribe them for piles of rep like all of the guys in that thread where they all promise 250 or whatever points of rep for voting Coco. All I did was provide a few people with the poll link and a friendly reminder to vote. No bribery, just reaching out to people using a little thing called kindness. You'd be surprised as to how far being kind to others can take you in life. I've received a large influx of support via PM's from a multitude of people who want me to become their next mod. With all the crap I went through this election and STILL kept trying, it shows my determination to be the best mod I could possibly be; and if I win this election I will become a mod.
If you don't like that, and this is addressed to the hate crusade in its entirety, sorry about your damn luck.
