**OFFICIAL Summer Contest 2014 Voting Alliance Thread**
« on: May 03, 2014, 09:23:05 pm »
Hello all.

To those coming from a Twitch stream, or those who have joined the elite only in the last year or so, there is an annual old boys circle jerk ran by Ngamer called "The Elite Summer Contest" which you can read more about here;  http://speedrunwiki.com/Elite_summer_contest

The Summer Contest is essentially a 64 man popularity contest, similar to the NCAA March Madness bracket; a single match elimination bracket wherein members of the elite vote on a head to head matchup, for whom they would like to see advance.

The contest has been berated by the players for giving little relevance to top players, and having many matches won by the elite's old boys club in the AIM chatroom.  The players don't really care at all about the contest, but there would be no better way to show up Ngamer and his old boys club than to create a voting alliance to vote out all those who associate with him, and vote for all those associated with playing the games, streaming on twitch, and actually creating benefit for the community.

**WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO**

Step 1) Join the rankings.  You need to be a "member" of the elite to vote.  The most irrefutable way to be a member is simply to join the rankings.  You don't even really have to submit any times.  You can join by following the steps here: http://rankings.the-elite.net/join  Make sure to check your junk email for registration confirmations!

Step 2) Contact Ngamer for a "Voter's Page."  He should post his contact info in the official summer contest thread, and I will repost it here.  Ngamer should send all potential voters a webpage, which will update daily with the current matchup.  The page is exclusive to each voter, and your URL will be slightly different than someone else's.  Every day, you go to this page and cast your vote.

If you contact Ngamer for a voter's page but do not get one, make sure to let me know so I can tally up any corruption Ngamer does this year.

Step 3) Check this thread, hang out in my stream or another active Goldeneye player's stream, and see who the alliance is voting for on each day!  Once a bracket is out we will likely be able to decide where most of the votes will go.

Step 4) Vote every day! That's pretty much it.  With your help, maybe this is the year we can put an end to Ngamer and his reign of corruption, old boys club, and disrespect to the active Goldeneye & Perfect Dark players in this community.  If we work together we can truly make this community a better place.

So you plan to protest by increasing the participation and getting more people involved?  :nesquik:

Best way to protest is by ignoring it. Don't give it more publicity...

Can't believe I'm saying this, but We Love Spliced Runs just made an excellent point.
Embrace the grind.

LET'S SHOW IT TO THEM BY PLANNING IT ON THE FORUMS RUN BY THE PEOPLE WE HATE!  THEY WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!  PERFECT PLAN!
