Citizen Honor: Cyc

[classical_hero]

I want all honours to be after the game. We can have nominations now, but only after the game has finished that we can do the deed. People should only every get rewarded once the event has passed. I am voting abstain on any honour until the game is finished, then I'll vote either yes or no. We should only be focused on this game only.

10 Yes against 4 No votes.....Consider yourself honored Cyc. Abstain is not a no vote.

Strider's bias is appalling, and this behavior will hopefully be remembered come election time. Add to this the heralding of a convicted criminal , and it's no wonder people are turning their back on Citizen Honors.

Once again DZ, you are unable to make a single post without trying to insult somebody. You call me appalling, while your unable to make a single comment without your bias dripping out of your mouth. Also, unluckily for you the "heralding of a convicted criminal" was the poll that received 51% of the Yes votes.

Also, it says, inside of the Citizen Honor Nominations thread, inorder to pass, the person must get 51% of the yes votes.

You know what, this is the last straw. As the moderators seem unable to do anything, about you flaming, and I'm tired of your bull****. I'll say what needs to be said:

You are unable to do anything except insult and complain. If you don't like it, it's you own god damn fault. Complaining about it is not going to do a damn thing. I suggest you get off your lazy butt and do something about it, otherwise you have no right to complain about it. Your just pissed off about not getting what you want, grow the hell up and get use to it.

Of course Abstain isn't a "No" vote. If that's how people felt, they would vote "no" not "abstain". The abstain vote is meant to show that people have looked at the poll, thought about the issue, but have been unable to reach a final decision. Effectively, a vote of Abstain is saying "I'm not sure about this issue, I'll accept whatever decision is reached by the rest of the voters".

Counting Abstain votes as No votes is a gross misinterpretation of the WOTP. I'm not going to go as far as some (read: Donovan Zoi) in accusing Strider of a corrupting bias, but I definately feel that he is incorrectly assessing the WOTP. I also find his hostility towards those who question aspects of the Citizen Honors unnerving. There's no reason to snap at someone just because they question your decisions. If you get offended that easily, politics (even internet message board pseudo-politics) is not for you.


I wish Strider would take his pet project a little less seriously; and take it's results a little more carefully.

Once again, I must point out that there is a discussion thread inside of the citizens forum for this. This thread is for comments on this citizen honor, not the citizen honor. I will not do a single thing about it, if you can't post it in the right thread.

Regarding mod action: I'll take my one day if you take your three to seven. If this thread still goes unpunished, then something truly is amiss in Modville.

My source of contempt has only been 2 figures, one who is unapologetic for her illlegal actions and still manages to dupe the populace, and her far-too-vocal apologist who needs to learn a bit about tact.

Look in the mirror, Strider. At least my rants have been consistent. You have no problem going off on any any innocent that dares to question your periodic, and usually controversial, left-turn proposals. You are beholden to none, as evidenced by your unilateral stewardship of the Citizen Honors program. Penalizing someone(Cyc) for abstain votes that are attributed to the premature unveiling of Honors Polls is, how should I say this? Wack.

Moderator Action: Ok, now I -am- going to close all citizen honor threads, since now it's only serving to create tension in the game, unlike it's origanal purpose. This should atleast be something that can be held after the game ends, not when emotions are still running high.
