OD Invites - the voting thread!

[thomasp]

From http://forum.team17.co.uk/showthread.php?t=34079

Please keep the discussion in that thread and let's just keep this one for voting.

I've allowed multiple choices but have kept votes private. Please don't vote for everyone and then vote "Nobody" as that's not very nice (Alien King has also been added to this poll, but I've probably changed my mind). The poll will close monday evening.


Also, please state in this thread how many people you'd like to be let into OD. The most popular number will be the number that are let in (obviously those with the most number of votes). For the record, I think no more than 4 should be allowed in.

[Paul.Power]

All 5+n of them, where n is the number of KRD's mysterious friends.

(Except Nobody, he's a jerk :p)

[worMatty]

I've no objection to having them all in.

[Star Worms]

Me neither.

[philby4000]

I voted for everone, except for KRD's mysterious friends.

Sorry, but I wouldn't feel comfortable voting for anyone I have no idea about.

The rest are pretty decent choices in my opinion.

I still say Akuryou should have been let in a long time ago.

[MadEwokHerd]

I'm abstaining: I don't have an opinion about some of these people, but if I vote in the poll I have to vote for or against each of them.

[MonkeyforaHead]

I haven't paid any attention to Alien King in a good long while, but I never did approve of him.

Though I'm willing to accept that perhaps he's matured somewhat in the interim. Maybe.

[Pickleworm]

I only voted for Akuryou and KRD's mysterious friends, I trust KRD to know that they are cool people.

[Glenn]

I only voted for three, but honestly I don't care how many you bring in here.

[bonz]

Get them all in!
Especially Melon.

And except for KRD's mysterious friends.
We don't need KRD's multiple personalities in here. ;)

[FutureWorm]

alien king still seems kind of immature to me

then again i'm not really one to speak

[Zero72]

Voting for the first 4. I suppose Cyclaws is alright.

Since he had such a major role in Dream17's administration, he must be trustworthy. :p

[MtlAngelus]

I say all of them.
And Plasma! :p
*runs from angry mob*

[Plutonic]

I would have to say 'let 2 in'.. but only because thats how many i voted for.. I might have voted for more if I knew who the mysterious friends were.. not that I spend any time here now.

[bloopy]

4 or 5 would be a good number.

[Squirminator2k]

I voted for everybody. Including Nobody. I think Nobody should be given a chance.

[SomePerson]

I did look at the numbers and did notice that someone DID vote for both Akuryou and nobody, as Aku had 100% at the time and nobody had a vote...:p

I'm down with everybody but nobody.

[KRD]

Oh, I'd say my mysterious friends can wait for now. There's plenty choice already and I'm with Thomas as far as the number goes anyway. One or two right after the leak mess is sorted and perhaps a few more later on, nothing that would make it look like the leak is being treated by giving out invitations.

I'll just vote for the one person I do know well and like on the list, then. :o

[Splapp]

gingerneck.

[thomasp]

gingerneck.
He already has access to OD, just not in the form that you might initially think :p

[MadEwokHerd]

Good idea. *votes*

[thomasp]

Well, they have only made two posts (http://forum.team17.co.uk/search.php?do=finduser&u=12147) and were last active in June 2005 (http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=12147) - might be a waste of an invite :p

[thomasp]

Well, it seems that 4 people have quite a strong lead over the rest, so I'll put forward the following names tomorrow to be added to OD:


Melon
Cyclaws
wormthingy
Akuryou13
Alien King

[worMatty]

Four, eh? Looks to me like most of the people who stated a quantity of new people they'd prefer said they want all of the names. Also, more than half the voters voted for Alien King to be let in.

If it wasn't for Ian Dowe, I wouldn't have got in when I did. Nobody else thought to suggest me, at the time.

[thomasp]

OK, I'll add Alien King to the list, to keep you happy :p

But ultimately, it's not my say - volcadmin may only be happy letting 4 in, or two for that matter. In which case, the top n will be the ones who are let in.

[Star Worms]

So now that we (hopefully) aren't being spied on by untrustworthy members: Should we reveal OD sometime in the near future?

My opinion is that we need to be inviting more members and make this forum more open to the community - just keep the spammers out. If we're to do that and not reveal OD, we may find ourselves in this situation again, which is why I think we need to reveal OD but tell people that they'll only get in if they are good posters.

[SomePerson]

I say we just keep quiet for a while and see what happens. I think we'll kill our community if we keep talking about the leaks.

[Zero72]

I, personally, really think the whole leak situation has more or less subsided and we don't need to talk much more about revealing OD. :p

[thomasp]

I'm with SomePerson and Zero72 - keep it quiet for now.


Edit:

Hmmm - Melon was last active on the 9th of September :confused: Says he's not online much till mid september. Still, let him in any way.

[SupSuper]

Melon's on right now. :p

We don't all compulsively check the forum.

Melon Melon Melon.We have got to get him in here.

[Pickleworm]

Can someone point me in the direction of posts that would get me to consider letting Alien King in here? I have a dislike for him but if everyone else wants him in I wouldn't mind trying to change my mind on him.

i could point you in the direction of some posts that would make me want to keep him out :cool:

[SomePerson]

I must admit, there were some people who got in back in the 300 post days who really I wasn't particularly fond of, but it all worked out. I think actually all of them have left by now, but that's not the point. They didn't harm the community or anything and it wasn't really a problem, so I'm willing to be slightly liberal in whom I vote in. To a degree.

[Pigbuster]

Meh. I don't think Alien King's done anything terrible enough.
And if he does get in, he's going to see that. :p

(Though I think he's humble enough to overlook it).

[Zero72]

I guess Alien King hasn't really done anything to make me hate him. :p

[worMatty]

See, gents? We're not so bad, are we?

Pigbuster, please clear your PM inbox and PM me when you've done it. Thanks.

[thomasp]

Top 5 have now been allowed in.

[Plutonic]

Not that im complaining... but whats the point in having a 5 person poll if your going to let in 5 people?

[SupSuper]

What are you talking about? We didn't let in KRD's mysterious friends! That's n people right there that didn't make the cut!

[MtlAngelus]

Not that im complaining... but whats the point in having a 5 person poll if your going to let in 5 people?
Well only because almost everyone voted almost everyone. If no one had voted, say, Aku, he wouldn't have been let in. :p

[bonz]

Not that im complaining... but whats the point in having a 5 person poll if your going to let in 5 people?
Also, Nobody (http://forum.team17.co.uk/member.php?u=12147) didn't make it either.

[thomasp]

We only let in the 5 most popular from the poll because virtually everybody voted for them.

[worMatty]

One of KRD's mysterious friends was Melon.

[Melon]

The truth is that everybody in the poll was let in in the end.

KRD has no friends.

*Runs*

[thomasp]

No, everybody was NOT let in, as not enough people voted for Nobody to get in.

And yes, Nobody is a registered user, just not an active one. :p

[MtlAngelus]

Actually, the truth the mods don't want us to realize is that no one was invited in but... OD HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC.
And people have just been avoiding posting in to trick us into thinking it's still hidden! :eek::eek::eek:

I still don't know why that idea hasn't been used for a movie ending. It was BRILLIANT.:-/
If I ever make a movie it'll end with that sequence. Even if it's a serious drama movie.
