The only ways the mods could possibly edit a poll outcome is by means so fucking obvious that it'd be impossible to get away with it. An example is deleting accounts, which would, as I said, be completely obvious.

There is a vast difference between thinking that you know how many people voted for you, for example because people said so in a conversation, and those same people actually doing something when actually voting.

And, as said, EU can vote in NA elections and so can NA with EU. I vote on the NA elections as a CR because it is some way that I can have a say in who I want to be working with.

That is for me, personally, a very good reason why I'd not want the votes to be public. That, and Nicky described it perfectly.

One thing I can tell you is that votes for this election can't be made public, and won't in the coming ones.
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

I felt that I should make some kind of closing statement since this was the last time I will likely run. This has been, by far, the worst election yet. Nicky, you're completely right and this is part of the reason why I don't think that I am cut out for CR. I have never been one to try and filter myself, I say what I mean. I only edited my comment because it didn't portray what I really meant to say since it painted Orc as the bad guy for having Karth vote for him. At that point however the damage was done and there is nothing I can do about that. Some have said that I am a "community leader" of sorts (other people's words, not my own) and there are many who really wanted me to get elected this term more so than any other election. I no longer believe that my place in this community is involved with Community Rep. I believe my best work can be accomplished by acting as a community activist (jesus fucking christ, this sounds so stupid) in an attempt to extend the lifetime that this game has left. Everything I wanted to do as CR, I will still try and do. My focus from now on will be to help the 63e boycott, working on NANWL, attempting to create fresh and interesting events that the community will enjoy and to help newer regiments stay alive in the hostile environment that is recruiting on NW.

In addition, this election has been more divisive than ever before and yes, that was partially my fault due to criticisms I have of Orcaryo and others just as they have their own just criticisms of me. However given the circumstances of the community, I don't believe that divisiveness is how we are going to keep this community alive. I give my sincerest apologies to Orcaryo, BabyJ, Nicky and others. I no longer believe that a Community Rep is necessary since it seems that every election just creates further divide and discontent in the community. I'm not just saying that because I lost (everytime lol) but because of this election in particular. I found out some awful information near the end which I will not release to public as it will only create further divide and discontent. Due to what I just said, I would like everyone who backed me in the election to support Orcaryo for this term.

As a final request to Orcaryo, please...make this your last term. A lot of people don't want to see the same person elected to CR every election and it would be nice to have some fresh ideas for CR. I respect your determination but there becomes a point where this no longer becomes about helping the community. Instead it will seem more and more like you're only in it for the title. Just some friendly advice to you bud. I hope you'll help me and Ap0c with the boycott ;)

Who is the crybaby bravescot? I made a serious post, I told people to support orc and i said it will be the last time i run but no, you decide to post a shit tier meme.

I'm not angry that I lost, i'm angry at the events surrounding this election of which you likely know nothing about.

You're getting your pants in a twist over a position that has lost any of its meaning. Only 3 people bothered for NA election (with you being the only one pushing super hard for election with your strong anti-63e policies). Riddlez has won the EU election twice because nobody runs against because it's meaningless.

On a side note: I am fully up to speed with the 63e matter and current events. Thought I might be on hiyatus from playing due to being overseas I am keeping with current events.

Once again, you likely know nothing about the events surrounding this election as only me and a select few others know and as far as I am aware, you are not one of them. If you thought the position was meaningless, why did you vote? Why are you posting here?

You must understand it is hard to believe you when you say only you and a select few know the truth about this election and you choose not to share it...
