This style of post does nothing to inspire me in your ability to act with the maturity that has come to be expected of the staff members of this site. This whole thing seems like a big ego trip for ZD rather than anything actually productive. The shameless cross posting of this, self nomination without need etc all makes it look to me like ZD just wants to inflate his own self worth.Quote:

I agree.Quote:

For all I know, he may be the right person for the job but the way he approaches it is immature.
In absence of GAH! I voted No.
Ts, I don't even know if my vote counts. Whatever....
If you believe that the way I approach this is immature, then I'd have to agree with you. My past actions seemed good at the time, but I look back and see them as immature, and I'd like to appoligize.
Now, you say I don't know how to create a proper poll, then I'd have to disagree with you. This is a serious thing, and so therefore "Gah!" would have only messed a few things up. It would have taken away votes that could have helped or hurt me.
It's not quite an ego trip, I was only exclaiming that because I had asked Tosa several things, and had no answer. So, this was sort of an attention getter.
I talked to Tosa at this link, https://forums.totalwar.org/vb/showthread.php?t=62188.
You have made your decisions, and I respect that, but I hope this can change someone else's decision.

:stupid:
haha
voted 'yes'
Look, I poke in that Arcade rarely and I don't care if my vote counts are not. I just want to make the following point.
LOOK AT THIS GUY!!!
He's so enthusiastic. You guys who are all high and mighty are taking this way too serious. Give Zain a break. He is obviously thrilled to have the opportunity and what harm is it going to do? It's an unfilled position and nobody else is even recommended for the job. Zain has clearly thought about this and is transparently thrilled. His comments are joyous and nothing more.
I'm thrilled just to see this type of energy coming from anyone around here.
Anybody who says no is just a little spoilsport for my taste. Remember when you were last excited about soemthing that was important to you? Remember before all that teen angst when you could just be yourself and have a good time with your friends? What happened along the way? Did you get hit in the head with a rock or what?
Zain, whether you get it or not, I'm just happy you're a part of this community, bud. :2thumbsup:
Go Zain Go!
Bwahaha, my vote counts for something! I feel meaning in this world! Of course, it's only cause I play more online games than most on a forum about Total war games...
Seriously, I'm glad I could support you ZD. ~:cheers:
I did. Had to go to the hospital and get a bunch of stitches. When I came back I started brooding and playing TW games.Quote:

Thanks Divinus Arma. In spite of our disagreements on things, I'm glad you can look past that and see the truth about things. Why don't you play some games, and make your vote count?Quote:

Well here you go. :balloon2:
Divinus' post convinced me. He's right, you're obviously very enthusiastic about this. Go for it.Quote:

The vote doesn't seem to have been setup as a race: if it were 40-0 in ZainDustin's favour but the next 10 all voted no, he'd have failed the 2nd condition. As the conditions currently are, I can't see how ZainDustin can become manager until there are not enough eligible voters remaining to tip the no vote to 10. Which means he'll need 20 more yeses/confirmed abstentions (assuming no one else votes no) to become Manager.
You're right. ZainDustin, you should perhaps ask Tosa for a deadline for those no-votes.
How am I still in the top 50? I haven't played for months, and I only played the classic games for the most part. Bunch of slackers here, I tells ya! :no:
Have another yes vote, and may your first action be to remove my incorrect Hexxagon score!
I see. Sorry about my incompetence with democracy, elections and all that.Quote:

Creating a deadline now doesn't smell right, the conditions I put forward don't look all that great either. Sorry :embarassed:
There are 20 yes votes: ZainDustin will be arcade moderator. Experiment on me to get the hang for the controls.
Here's an update about the scorebug: the author found a fix (should plug the hole) and that will be added into the next update.
Then wouldn't this just be "at least 40 of the top 50 agree and not more than 10 disagree?" :2thumbsup:Quote:

PS Congrats Zain :balloon2:
ZainDustin
Now that you're the arcade manager, do you think you could take a look at
Defend your stronghold?
It seems that when ever I submit a score, I get this page
Thank you!
It's in the no scores stored category Mongoose. The game doesn't work , but is considered fun enough to be played.
