You should have learned your lesson from editing people's mod pages without consent (rape)
I thought rape was based!
"REEEE! It's only based when I do it!"
"You're not supposed to rape ME!"

They're both tied excluding alts btw.
They're not. @J1M has been robbed of his vote due to a problem with the way polls work.

I guess he shouldn't have pressed don't vote if he wanted to vote.
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Guess he should have been clairvoyant to Oyster changing the rules in the middle of the poll.

Yeah, I had no trouble switching my vote back and forth yesterday. If not for the current situation, I'd also assume I could look at votes and then switch.

Come, come now... "robbed"?
It's a fair exchange... To see the vote, you have to pay the price.

@Oyster Sauce, you should declare the election irreparably compromised and allow me to decide the game by monarchical fiat instead. It's what the Roman Emperors would have done.

Is apparently the only option that prevents you from being able to change a vote. The opposite of how most polls work.

The only way to save our culture is to bring in more members from codex, rpg.net, rpgwatch, and resetera.

Well, you learned a valuable lesson about what "don't" means then :scratch:

I think whoever made it like that specifically didn't want people voting with foreknowledge of what the votes were like already.

How are you still not understanding that it was something that was turned off recently and not how the poll always worked after like 4 people have explained this already.

It's almost as if that's a feature that the creator may have used in this very thread, for some enigmatic reason :Inspector:

I'd suggest you picking rather than trying to sort it out since this was a bit of a mess, @Oyster Sauce.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Deux Ex + Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption


The year is 2052 and the world is a dangerous and chaotic place. Terrorists operate openly - killing thousands; drugs, disease and pollution kill even more. The world's economies are close to collapse and the gap between the insanely wealthy and the desperately poor grows ever wider. Worst of all, an ages old conspiracy bent on world domination has decided that the time is right to emerge from the shadows and take control.
Before your fall, you led a crusade against evil. Now you've become one of the undead creatures you once battled - a Vampire. Inhabiting the World of Darkness, you must face a series of brutal confrontations with your nemesis Vukodlak, a powerful vampire lord.

Your unholy showdown begins in medieval Europe and rages on into the modern day, as you track a soulless enemy in an eternal struggle to destroy him. For this is the only hope of vengeance for your tortured immortality.
