MBB's Official "I didn't win thread"

[The King]

So I took a few days off from the zone. To let the results sink in and because I have a new job and needed to focus on somethings.

First Off, Congrats Playa. Thats all I have to say about that.

Secondly, Thank you Zoners, I received dozens of emails offering your condolences and support. I was in touch with a whole lot of you during this process and that was cool. I dont think we do that enough. That is after all what makes this place great, the relationships between the zoners.

Finally I got to thinking.... zone president? Hmmm the zone isn't a democracy. Stuff gets done and you deal with it... end of story. So screw that.

Next Idea.....

Vote MBB for King of the Zone!!!

I am not sure how a guy gets elected president of the zone who I have never even heard of? LAPlaya? Who the hell is he?

I do have a question for you or your staff, did you think going into this that there was ever any chance that you wouldn't win?

Do you really think we were that arrogant? Nothing was pre-assumed...

Why does this forum still exist? It's just going to create more issues than it solves at this point.

Not about arrogance but it was clear to everyone that you guys were the favorites going in. Im honestly asking did you guys think that you werent going to win? Had I been working on the Bedard campaign there is no way I would of thought anybody else was going to win. Not like it matters now its over.

[The King]

I knew I wasn't going to win to be honest. I just stuck around to keep it interesting. Your campaign was a snooze fest...

You went out and got the little guys, they pushed you over the top. Congrats on that it was a good strategy. Where are they now though? They didnt care about an election... they didnt vote for playa cause he was the right choice. They voted because you asked them too.

[Mr. Miyagi]

Don't be that guy Bedard. Sour grapes aren't going to help you in the next election.

Hate him because he sucks, not becuase he beat you.

Im not going to go out re-hash the campaign with you. That's over with, I had a simple question. You answered it (and thank you for that), save the rhetoric for your run next year.

Not trying to be that guy. Just stating the obvious.

Incorrect.

[BlackMetalNinja]

Incorrect.

Are you trying to say the multiple people they had vote for them with under 20 posts were deeply concerned about this election prior to being contacted by their staff? Sure, some big name people went their way too, no denying that, but it was all the people that 95% of this place doesn't recognize that put them over the top.

No, name value isn't everything here, but I find it hard to believe that some of those people knew or cared one way or the other about the election.

[BAM]

I guess maybe I just read the post wrong. It seemed like he was bunching everyone that voted for Playa into the little person category. No biggie.

In all honesty though... this is the main reason you guys lost my vote. In my opinion, throughout the whole campaign process Bedard's campaign came off as a group of whiners/complainers. Playa's campaign did a much better job of controlling themselves, which is why I voted for them, other than a couple threads that got out of hand of course.

In the end I realize that this whole election was just for fun but I had to base my vote on something.

There's a saying in sales, "Sell to the classes, you live with the masses. Sell to the masses, you live with the classes."

In this instance, it translated to the President-Elect Playa campaign selling themselves to the masses, which translated into the win.

I believe that's exactly what he said... :idunno:

[Iehoshua]

It bears repeating because from this point of view, it appeared as though certain campaigns believed the only ones voting were the active TZ and Holy Grail board posters, when you must realize that there are over 11,000 registered users and on average probably more than 200 active at any one time (just guesstimates on my part). The value of a vote isn't diminished because someone "only has X number of posts" in a forum-wide election.

[THATHURMANATOR]

I think that poster should have had a minimum of 1000 posts in order to vote

[Dude]

I'm still waiting for the beer and pussy we were promised.

I'd agree if I believed those people with x number of posts actually cared and paid attention to all this... I don't believe that however. Whatever the case, it's done and over with so I'm not going to sit here and squabble about it any further. I guess we'll see if the people made the right choice or not soon enough.

Sorry Dude, you might have missed the memo but it got changed to BYOB&P

[Dude]

But I'm married. I was hoping to live vicariously through Playa.

So what exactly is Playa doing for us?

I got mine, sorry you missed out :up:

BAM, why did you thank Bedard's post, then say it was incorrect?
