doing translationbot’s job now? i feel like the irony there is hilarious! peeps taking jobs from computers! sometimes u really make me lol nanafabulous personjesus

i didnt read this but i still have to say that you are not a good poster

lol, well, czarnian, it was tough to follow those rules, so in a way you did win, i will agree. however, you made the challenge and i stuck to it, so i in fact won, overall. anyhow i dont trust any agreements with tsb anymore, since youd like to all weasel out of it any way you can, its really dishonorable. at least you, of all tsb, can admit i have won. it did come at a big price to me, because i was watching all along Log in to see images!

edit here: also, you guys are so incredibly alt-paranoid it was hilarious to watch, tho even if they were my alt, that still would not have dq’ed me even/unless it was an illegal one. also, there was a loophole in domination one of you tsb could have tried to use, tho dom was not mentioned in the contest…one of them could have posted anonymously pretending to be me, that was the one shadow of doubt i could see…luckily no one figured that out. anyways, i have stuck by your rules, and its a win for both in a way, since what you really wanted was the epeen apparently. either way, i have stuck to the rules very carefully, and that 10bp is mine, and i thank you. it will go to good use. NOW, you can be alt paranoid for real hehe Log in to see images! wilD-sLuT22 edited this message on 05/28/2008 9:18PM

that was all about the rules, and you said i was allowed to discuss the rules with you, in the ‘interest of fairness’

Official Start Time of Contest: 05/23/2008 4:05PM Eastern Daylight Time.

Also: Wild-**** may post rules questions in this thread. I will answer the rule questions publicly.

Any discussion between myself and Wild-****, in regards to rules questions, is not a violation. That is the only addendum to the rules, in the interest of fairness. This does not permit Wild-**** to engage me in any other types of discussions in any RP Forum.

1. That ‘rule change’ occurred AFTER the contest started. In one of your rapid-fire posts, you state that I can’t change any rules during the contest without E.T.’s approval (i.e., the splitting the bounty). You can’t pick and choose which rule changes you want to allow.

Did E.T. approve that rule change? Or did you reply to a TSB member before the contest was over. You could have simply waited until after the contest deadline expired, and then made those posts. There is a strong position there that anything I posted AFTER the contest started wasn’t part of the official contest, especially after you made such a big deal about the minutiae of the rules.

2. Even if the ‘rule change’ is authentic, then the part in regards to non-antagonistic replies would still apply. I submit that your replies to me, inside the time limits of the contest, were somewhat aggressive and antagonistic.

I think I will, in the interest of fairness, simply ask Evil Trout to render a final decision. I think you pushed the rule-limit too hard and broke it. But I want to remove my possible bias from the equation.

I’ll leave it in E.T.’s hands.

Best of luck.

as for anything else, i refuse to get drawn into some petty argument about any of it, i earned this 10bp, bigtime. if theres anything you think was illegal you can take it up with trout. i have stuck to the rules, and won. that is all.

See my above post for the two reasons that you may have lost. I will let E.T. be the final judge.

Yes, I attempted to trick you, during the contest. Once the contest started, your job was to stick to the original rules. You replied to me, based upon a ‘rule’ that was added after the contest began. If I had the power to add rules after the contest began, then why wouldn’t I simply add a rule that if anyone quotes a previous post of yours, or mentions your name, or anything incredibly absurd, then you lose?

If I had the authority to change the rules midgame, then you lost before we began.

If you replied to a TSB member based upon a ‘rule’ that was added after the contest began, then you violated rule number two:

2. wilD-****22 may not reply to any posts made by any member of Team Shortbus, except in a non-Roleplaying forum.

There was nothing in the original rules that allowed you to reply to me during the contest.

Any ‘rule’ that I added after the contest began was not a valid rule, especially considering how many revisions you forced me to make to my first set of rules. The fact that you were so involved with setting the rules in the first place is more than sufficient to indicate that the rule set was critically important to you. There is no way you would have allowed me to have the authority to change any rules after the beginning of the contest.

Therefore, it is clear that my ‘rule change’, which came after the contest had started, was not a legal rule.

Therefore, rule #2 was still in place, unmodified, and you replied to a TSB member’s post before the deadline was up.

Had you waited until the five days was up, you would have been 100% free and clear.

You can’t hid behind a ‘rule’ that wasn’t part of the original rule set.

If I had said instead that ‘Oh, by the way, if Wild-**** makes any posts in any forum, that disqualifies him’, then would you have allowed me the authority in that case to make the rule change?

Of course not. Only because the ‘rule change’ benefited you did you accept it. I wasn’t expecting you to fall for that. I figured it was a pretty lame attempt to trip you up, and since you didn’t post anything for almost four days, I figured that you’d realized I was trying to trick you. And at first, I thought you’d posted your ‘rules dispute posts’ AFTER the deadline.

Imagine my surprise when you actually took the bait?

But again, in the interest of fairness, even though I think I executed a clbumic misdirection tactic on you, I’ll defer to Evil Trout’s decision.

I think basic logic works in my favor though.

So, are you saying I had the authority to change the rules after the contest began? Because the ‘rule’ that allowed you to reply to me was added after the contest began.

That’s a huge can of worms you’re opening up.

Are you sure you want to stick by that position?

waaaaaahhhhhh

also there was nothing in the rules about NOT agreeing to more rules, so that point is moot. especially since you decided to offer that new rule.

im done now, its up to trout.
