Lazer's entry is like a film - a bad one is bad and you stop watching it after a couple of minutes, but a really cheesy bad film can be so compelling you watch it and enjoy it to the end even though you don't know why you are watching it! Lazer's entry made me literally have tears of laughter, and I came back to the post a few times as a result, like the cheesy bad film. For that entertainment value, I voted for it. Big deal, my vote, my choice. So what if it took minutes to make, I also buy games and watch films that make me lol so what's the difference?? We all need a good laugh in this world to get us through life!
Yoshilime's quote is similar in concept to what I said: in life anyone apart from a pacifist standing for election asks for them.
There were two main reasons in 2008 I said I would give my prizes away if I won, and neither of them were for the reason of winning; one was I didn't need the prizes (reasons already given) the second reason was I was being a dick back then as I was being too competitive; I have said that before. By giving away any prizes I might win, I was therefore removing the competitiveness as apart from the "brag factor" there was nothing else I could gain - resolved issue. Interesting no-one picked up this last year, only this year; perhaps because last year my skills were poor in comparison to now, so didn't stand much of a chance, I don't know - point is, I said 2008 that I would give away prizes, which I said again 2009 - nothing new!
bic, you have a tendency of taking things out of context and QFT. On this forum, the Mods' views are relevant and respected, on ModRetro the ModRetro Mods' views are relevant and respected; the point, which you took out of context, was that your views as a Mod on BH are not important on MR any more than views of Mods on MR are important here; therefore taking quotes from MR and using here have no clout. In other words, you say "jump" here, fine, but you say "jump" on MR and we go "meh". You are a general member there, like we are here. You took the comment out of context, perhaps you see that now?
vskid - indeed, there would be no legitimate reason for any bans, and no proof. I stated the reason I voted for Laser above (and in the original vote post BTW), so get over it. Let's see - I voted for myself because I could (ok), voted for Lazer as tears rolled down my face in laughter (ok), and other vote for spinout. I didn't vote for marshallh's because although it was very good, I thought it was lazy compared to the awesomeness he could do - if he did a system that hadn't been a SNES (especially a clone/small board as stock one)/NES NOAC/N64 and been a pretty undone system, reduced the board, make it small, etc, I would have voted me 1st, him 2nd, Lazer 3rd; as I am sure many others would have.
Triton - "Contrary to what some in power here think, I just want harmony." Reading that post again, there are two ways to read it - one is the way it was intended, and the other the way you read it.
