I thought the same thing about Yohannes. How is Dakini any different from Yohannes?


For me, it is her posting and the fact that I have never seen her pic whore herself. Plus the years she's been on the site so... I have no reason to doubt her credibility.

An easy method would be to use a pen and write on your hand or something.

Or tattoo if you're really dedicated.

Take a photo of yourself holding a piece of paper with the time and date, is the usual method.

Just take a quick picture of yourself holding a paper with your NationStates nation's name on it and the date. It's not terribly hard.

We've had plenty of reasonable sources to "confirm" people's identities. Time stamps are the best one that shows everyone that it's true though.

Yes, because this contest has become all but a joke.

Several winners or runner-ups have used pictures that aren't actually them in recent years.

Maybe you're taking it too seriously? It's not like anyone wins a prize, and they might enjoy their time on General less if others are thinking of them as "that really sexy one".

Also, a timestamp doesn't prove it's actually them, it could be a friend or sibling. But as a voluntary thing I don't see why not, and you if you want to vote only among those that do have a timestamp in their pic I don't see a problem with that either.

Geese Louise.

It's a contest on a random internet forum. Take it with the degree of severity it should be taken with. Mild outrage. Not total resentment on par with that displayed towards the NSA scandal.
