This is stupid nonsense, Escade. Don't scorn the fire for burning Glen when he regularly and willingly throws himself into it.


I'm not sure who or what the fire represents but several GPers on that side have said platitudes that explain their own behavior as "Don't take it personally."


So I think, don't take it personally.

Don't worry, I'm not. Thanks for your concern.

Lemme just be straight then. Glen puts himself in positions where he receives backlash. He's almost never a victim of circumstance. He draws attention to himself. So if you have a problem with the level that people pay attention to him, you should take it up with him. Telling all of GP to "like get over yourselves!" is... nonsense.

And since your 'Leave Glen alone' stuff and my responses have nothing to do with the Awards, I'mma stop responding.

It isn't leave Glenn alone, its control your vitriol so that its at a humane level instead of straight up ******** level. It only makes the whole group of people who can't stop fixating on him look like like they have a serious problem.

Don't agree with someone? That's fine and you can state that.

Don't agree with someone and lose ur nuts over it? Well it's still your loss.

As it turns out, Escade, one can argue with someone on a forum without "[having] a serious problem" or [losing] ur nuts over it". I don't know why you're acting as GR's attack dog here, I'm sure he didn't ask for your help.

The person you're replying to at no point did anything more than point out the flaws in GR's positions and argue against them. Like, get over yourself.

The rhetoric was extreme and having seen the pile-ons before ridiculous as well.

And for an attack dog yourself, part of a bigger pile on then I can ever maintain, you've come out to defend your friend.

Although with you hypocrisy abounds as usual.

I've got a great idea. Let's ignore Glen whenever he posts here because it's just bumping a thread we could have on Page 2 right now and completely forgotten about.

Instead it's at the top of GP right now, where it has no place being. Go bump some other threads, y'all.

Sorry pal, but it'd be off topic to criticize your joke of an awards anywhere but your thread :)

We've received a little less than half of the number of votes collected two years ago. The deadline is being extended an extra three days from now so more of you can drop your vote!

Could it be because of your sketchyness and refusal to listen to community concerns? No surely not. :roll:

Since the flurry of comments before you moved forward didn't get the message across to you to change how you operate these awards, hopefully the lack of participation this year has gotten the message across instead.

What is your intent by adding "in protest"?

My intent is that describing any form of raiding in the positive terms of “best” is oxymoronic, and thus I only vote so in protest of the rules requiring a complete ballot.

If you don't agree with the rules, why feed votes to this sham?

Play of the Game 2017 does not force you to complete every category.

Funny, part of my set of complaints was that forcing everyone to vote in everything even if they don’t care about/have sufficient knowledge about that item, is silly and skews the results unnecessarily. :P

Because these are silly contests nobody should take that seriously, and that includes the way they're run and who runs them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Vote or don't. Nobody gets anything material from any of these awards

If LWU or whoever were to flood Play of the Game, it would make that contest no more of a sham than when they did it to these awards last year

Except we'd know who the host was, and it be public so we could all see it, way more accountability than an unknown person with unknown votes.
