Stop caring and get over it works too.
It's not about the shirt. Or the contest of it all. It's about ruining one of the fun things we have in the community right now.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Because nobody wants to play a game of soccer where only 3 people are having fun because they're picking up the ball and running around with it when they start to lose.

"If only, if only,"
The woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the trees was as soft as the skies."
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely;
Crying to the moon,
"If only, if only."

To be honest I don't feel as though it's wrong for someone to ask for votes in a private group, using alts or some other means though is wrong.
Use a semi-colon after "private group" in that sentence. It will read differently and your point will come across better.

I didn't realize we were in English class.

we call it the No Singling-out Zone

OT i think posting in a group asking for votes really cant be held against anyone, i mean people do it on much bigger online votes than just bungie ones, plus it would be pretty much impossible for deej or ninjas to enforce without like a massive army of group spying ninjas and i dont really want that do you?

Yes Costco. I need a 50lb bag...I mean sack of sugar.

If someone in a position of power in a group were to tell fellow group members to do something, wouldn't most do that thing based on the request with no question? If a ninja or employee asked us to vote for something wouldn't most members do that?

Think about that before asking a group to vote for a person and not their work.

I agree with OP, asking for votes should be fine as long as YOU don't use alts, which to my knowledge no one has ever since I have no proof and can't make false assumptions of foul play.
In the thread where this whole "rigging" nonsense started, there are blatant alt accounts that posted about their support for a certain user. There are Absent Members that you can easily pick out that posted in that thread and then never posted again, and some that were created the days that the thread was active and never posted again.


Edit: Maybe this is pushing the OP's no singling out. Eh, I'll remove. You guys can find them yourself.

No I don't. I just don't like having immature people ruining one of the few fun things on here. You can not care about it, that's fine, but don't make it seem like I'm making a big deal out of "winning" or "just a t-shirt", because I'm not. I'm making a reasonable deal out of people ruining something for other people.

V: I can assure you I mean you no harm.
Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Alas, so many quotes, so little room in the signature box.

I'll take your word for it, OP. You seem like an honest guy...

I certainly think alts are the problem, but there's no solution to it. As long as the community is voting on this stuff, there's going to be unfair advantages towards popular members. We either have to just suck it up and deal with it or get rid of community voting.

I do care about it, I think it's great fun for the community.

What any user does to try and get votes does not "ruin" the competition, that is the whole point after all. The only thing that's widely accepted as foul play is the use of alts. However, there's no way we can prove anything, so it makes just as much sense to ignore it for now.

No one is complaining about the contests being ruined. We all have fun with these, it's not a handful of us running around while everyone else wallows about in their own defeat like your analogy implied.

I don't want Bungie to stop doing these challenges because we create stupid drama over it. Pickup games of soccer are for fun, they're not competitive. Neither is this.

I have a suggestion for both of you . . . Grow the -blam!- up. If you are gonna have a tissy, do it via pm. No need to create a public spectacle and contaminate the forums with your drama.
