Yeah, this is just a "best picture" vote, and you're trying to get outside influence.

Contest regulations point eight states "if the Skikot Sticker Action is influenced in an unfair or illegal manner, or suspected to be, Skikot reserves the right to not hand out prizes, and to disqualify contestants from the contest."

Seems to me that's precisely what you're doing here.

Besides, I'm not imprssed by your threatening people.

Didn't you also post this on the Fok! forums?

That one was closed pretty quickly.  ::)

Uhm, no.

It's a fairly crappy picture. I'd happily vote for it if it was the best, but it isn't.

There. Did it. Don't see what the fuss was about. Your's seemed to be the best in the 3 that were showing, but you should have made it more obvious that you were upside-down.

Now if I get any spam from these people....

Those were the top 3 pictures.

That's where the rest are.

/me shrugs.

I knew those were the best three, and it seemed to me, that out of those, FruitTree's one seemed to be the best. I have no background knowledge of the competition, and don't know/owe FruitTree in the least, but as far as I could tell, the competition involved taking a picture of some sort of extreme sportishness, with that 'SkiKot' ticket somewhere in the picture. The 1st position picture showed 3 people hanging upside-down from a tree. The 3rd position picture showed some girl with slippers/skates(?). I don't think my judgement was that far off.

All this is besides the point, however. I rock!

Post by: voh on Wed 17/10/2007 13:18:28
I'm not saying anything about your judgement. I was merely saying there were more pictures because from your wording ("in the 3 that were showing") I understood that you thought there were only 3 pictures to choose from.

No harm done :)

(and I rock too, damnit!)

I would have voted for the girl in bikini. Just because. But I won't bother. Too much trouble.

Voted. Have fun on your vacation.
Title: Re: help me win a free vacation! or die!
Post by: InCreator on Wed 17/10/2007 18:02:44
Backrub, eh?

Make sure that you rest well on that vacation, because there's lots of back rubbing ahead.
I liked the one with a chick more to be honest.

Post by: Buckethead on Wed 17/10/2007 18:08:02
Ok I voted for you. But mainly because the others were kinda lame imo. And you are dutch  :P. I hope you have fun!

Well if you promise a backrub of chocolate, then how can I refuse. But the woman I have already, so dip your fingers to cacao ;)

Nice picture! I voted, not because of the picture, but because I want you to have a free holiday :D

And I feel I *DO* owe you so no bullshitty Voh style antics from me, dude!

That semi naked blonde is absolutely GORGEOUS. She gets my real vote, even though her picture is lame! :p
Title: Re: help me win a free vacation! or die!
Post by: voh on Wed 17/10/2007 20:07:12
Well, it's a good thing you're not doing any bullshitty voh style antics, because then they wouldn't be voh style antics anymore, now would they? ;)
Title: Re: help me win a free vacation! or die!
Post by: Paper Carnival on Thu 18/10/2007 13:21:36
I voted for the blonde, because she's cute.

I voted for the pretty blonde ;)

Damn you, Y chromosome!

If choosing a pretty girl over watching a flipped image of a guy's crotch is a bullshitty antic, then by the power of Greyskull, I am bullshitty ;D

Its more the notion of not helping out a fellow AGSer that actually annoys me. If he hadn't have pointed you there you'd never have voted at all. But maybe I'm biased because I've met FruitTree, so I'm inclined to help him out. But it's okay! Next time you ask for something I'll be sure to do the complete opposite ;)
Title: Re: help me win a free vacation! or die!
Post by: voh on Thu 18/10/2007 17:51:06
I haven't, and I also don't like being asked to vote for something in a contest which I don't see as the best entry. Everybody can choose whatever they want, which is just fine. Fruittree still got votes from this topic, so where's the loss? :)

Also, if I ever do ask for something like this, please do the complete opposite because I wouldn't deserve to win if it's just based on uninformed votes from people I know ;)
Title: Re: help me win a free vacation! or die!
Post by: on Thu 18/10/2007 18:38:40
Well, as it's you, I'll let you off. You have that general kind of jackass "I wont do this because it's not what I beleive in" stance with just about everything here. But if a friend asked you to vote for them to win a trip to NY, as in, someone you really knew & liked, would you vote for them? Or would you tell them; "I'll look, but if I don't think you've done the best job, I may not vote on it."

Yes, you probably would do the latter. Which is probably why I don't really like you.

:p

Why thank you, I respect you for your individual strengths and weaknesses as well ;)

QuoteBut if a friend asked you to vote for them to win a trip to NY, as in, someone you really knew & liked, would you vote for them? Or would you tell them; "I'll look, but if I don't think you've done the best job, I may not vote on it."

I would vote if it's a friend of mine, or someone I respect based on previous experiences. I don't know Fruittree, so my initial response defaults to "Hah! I will be as obnoxious as possible for comedic effect!" + a wicked grin.

QuoteYes, you probably would do the latter. Which is probably why I don't really like you.

:p

I would do the first, as the latter would just be unneccessarily obnoxious. The world isn't black and white, my friend, it's black, white, and a near infinite amount of grey ;)

But I love you too ;D

edit: Also, Fruittree, no harm intended. Hope my 'antics' didn't really annoy you, because that wasn't my intention :)

I voted for you, I think...Either that or some stem cell research.  I demand that you mail me that wacky sweater thing you're wearing.
