My earlier statement of declaring myself a prophet was unfair and unjustified. Iw ould like to appologize to all those offended by my obtuse and inconsiderate statements. Mrwhereitis seemed most upset by my remarks

.
Was he more upset by my Mohomud remark or my Jesus one? Hmmm, I think I now know how to push his buttons....

Trip that was indeed very gracious, and I'd like to congratulate on your excellent first term, the game is definitely better thanks to your efforts.

Congrats Ninot.

Well... I voted to Trip and I think it is not good when he agree to defeat only because Ninot had a small advantage over him... I feel like my vote dont not mean anything.... I belived that Trip should be a president and I dont see any reasons to step back and give Ninot a presidency without fight... Many voters and supporters wanted Trip to be a president... Why he step back and said "Im out of this election" I dont know... One thing is sure - Ninot won this election only because Trip has no will to fight for his rights and he is president not because people wanted him to be but because of scandalic system of voting.

I saw that when Trip had equal amount of votes with Ninot, then suddenly Ninot had another votes supporting him... I think Ninot won this election because he used black powers and not clean campaign... I think moderator should look on votes and determined which are casted rightfully and which not.

Im very dissapointed that presidency of Apolytonia decided not in democratic way... This is a democracy game... not conspiracy game.

Everything was going to hell and since elections are a month a part the dispute could last a couple weeks. That would have really hurt the game.

uh, absentee ballot?

**Jon Shafer** · July 17, 2002, 21:48

Luk, I dropped out of the race because the entire system was starting to crash down. Could I have been a better President? Maybe. Could I have won the election? Also a maybe. But that's not why I conceded. I felt with the chaos going on it was more my responsibility to save things from falling into total disorder, rather than continue to pursue the office of President. Ninot will do a fine job, and we have nothing to complain about.

Besides, you'll all be rewarded with my Civil War scenario.

Trip, looked for the link in the Gazette, but it said the page was missing. where is the civil war scenario? creation forum?

Although I have no proof of anything in any way (other than the fact that a mod has already publically stated there were no DL's in the voter's list), i feel very sorry for how you feel.

However, I must let you know that I myself did absolutely nothing to rig this election, and I made sure no one around me did either. In the final stages, when it always seemed to be tied, Trip and I very happily tried to meet a medium that might be more pleasant than what looked like a funny vote, but no one liked that idea. Trip VERY graciously bowed out, and I thank him for it, while I am sad he is no longer president.

But the last thing we need is two weeks of protesting in the forum because a few people feel jipped. Im sorry you feel this way, but what am i supposed to do now, resign because 2 or 3 people honestly feel like i am a voodoo majician who rigged the election?

I can't let that happen. I will work my hardest to make sure we get a better elections process, but I won't allow a few renegade citizens who are rebelling for the sake of it to get in the way of my term in office. Thats not healthy for anyone.

IF everyone thinks I rigged this election, then i dare this majority to show themselves. Untill then, I will work for the nation.

Well... I wonder why Ninot did not step back... Maybe because he fanaticly wanted to be a president and he would even destroy the game then loose in this election.

I take it that this is not a joke....

Maybe he didn't step down because yeah, he wanted to be president. I mean, it's a perfectly ligit reason.

To me, it sounds like your trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, because you do not support Ninot and you do support Trip.
