+Snoogans Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Seems we have a tie between Briansnat and Criminal. El Diablo Dang, that's a hard choice. If Brian brought back his trailer park dude avatar, it would be even harder..... Sn gans Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted December 25, 2003 Author Share Posted December 25, 2003 Question now is do we re-vote or come up with another tie breaker? Suggestions? El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Question now is do we re-vote or come up with another tie breaker? Suggestions? El Diablo Go for a re-vote/tie breaker between the two. Quote Link to comment
+Snoogans Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 Question now is do we re-vote or come up with another tie breaker? Suggestions? El Diablo Given the excellent writing abilities of these two....Essay!!! Don't make the topic too narrow though. I would really like to see what these two can come up with.

+fizzymagic Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 (edited) If it's a tie between Brian and Criminal, I think the award should go to the one who is capable of independent thought. Slavish adherence to the party line, no matter how well phrased, is not, to my mind, deserving of the title. And constantly looking down your nose at the majority of other cachers should be a disqualifier. Thus, it's gotta be Criminal. Edited December 25, 2003 by fizzymagic Quote Link to comment

+Snoogans Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 El D, It's your contest. If it was me I would give about a dozen choices for topics that could be picked. The topics should be things that interest you, since it's your contest. Sn gans Quote Link to comment

+carleenp Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Geeze, I'm fence sitting again. I guess even with the simplest things it is my personality! Trust me that when I do have a clear opinion that I state it! Anyway, I can't decide how to vote between Criminal and Briansnat. Both are influential in different ways and I appreciate both of them. I honestly think it is a fair tie and leave it at that. Quote Link to comment

I honestly think it is a fair tie and leave it at that. That is probably the simplest way. Both received the majority of the votes...they even voted for each other. Both are great contributers to the forums. I see no reason why we can't have co-winners. Since it is my contest, I get to set the rules...even if I do make them up as I go along.

+GEO*Trailblazer 1 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Influence : Origin 1,the supposed flowing of ethereal fluid or powers from the Stars,thought by astrologers to affect the characters and actions of peoples. Jeremy, BigKid,You influence implies the power of persons or things(whether or not exerted consciously or overtly) to affect others [he owed his position to influence] DaveD, Brainsnat,Happycycler,You authority implies the power to command acceptance,belief,obedience,etc.,based on strength of character,expertness of knowledge,etc.[a statement made in good authority] Seneca, Kawenah and Shark,You prestige implies the power to command esteem or admiration,based on brilliance of acheivement or outstanding superiority The rest of us up and coming Geocachers in these forums weight implies influence that is more or less pre-ponderant in its effect. I know there are many that I am forgetting because everyone here has contributed in their own SPECIAL way's.
