The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
If you want to vote in this election then you will need to be here on this thread ON JUNE 7th.
That's unless you are not able to be here, then you can VOTE EARLY providing you declare that you can't make it on the 7th.
Notables are voted on the basis of their contribution to these forums. You don't just vote for your best mate. Ask yourself who you think has made these forums such an interesting place for discussion.
Everybody has ONE VOTE. You can only suggest one name. To vote you state "I vote for "Nickname".
If, like Grix, you have two accounts you must only use one of them to vote once. If you vote more than once your first vote will count, or if you do it deliberately then you will be excluded from the vote.
DON'T VOTE until June 7th.
You will waste your vote if you vote for:
An existing notable
A member of staff, even staff regulars cannot be elected.
A newbie
YOU CAN ONLY VOTE FOR A REGULAR
VOTING CLOSES at MIDNIGHT on JUNE 7th.
That should cover it. Oh - it was Sheepy who suggested that we hold our election on Polling Day.
Can you throw an egg at me and then I'll slap you like a girl and we can wrestle on a small wall.

Good for you!
Tell you what, if you're not going vote for the people who ask for your vote, vote for me instead! ;-p
If I'm elected I promise sweeping changes, blah blah blah, drone, mumble, false promise, soundbyte, mumble, broken promise, blah blah, politically correct BS, more droning, excuse, mumble mumble, Tony Blair, blah blah, @rse with both hands, drone, mumble, grinning freak, blah, William Hague, blah mumble drone, national joke, mumble drone, slap head, blah blah, and a partridge in a pear tree.
So there you have it... my election manifesto.
"A vote for The Goat is a vote for retarded children driving buses on the info-superhighway of life"
Seriously, i don't think I'll be around on the 7th, so I'll probably vote early, but nearer the time, like the 4th or something.
I think my original wording could have been better.
Its just that there have already been some people, no names mentioned, who have asked people to vote for them.
To me it just kind of defeats the object slightly.
I wont become a notable, but it means something if people respect your contributions enough to vote for you.
Sorry.
To anyone who reads this, i'm not going to vote for someone who says "vote for me".
I'm not going to ask people to vote for me, and im not going to vote for people who ask me to.
Also, if someone does vote for me, im not neccessarily going to vote for them back to say "thanks".
I'm going to vote for someone who i feel has made a valuable contribution to these forums as that what its all about. Not whethere someone is your friend or not.
I know i may loose some votes for saying this, but i don't care. I'd rather get fewer votes, but i know they're from people who respect me, than get more votes but most of them are people who are hoping i'll vote for them back.
I hope that makes sense, and it's not supposed to be as rude as it probably sounds!
