I feel like this is maybe the most important part of the game, as a proper apology can essentially come across as a positive vote for everyone. I need to start incorporating this, even though I geniunely dislike 99.9% of the people I don't vote for or minus. Help me out here.
Blanket statement saying stuff like there aren't enough pluses to go around or that you love everyone? Fun gimmicks like saying you used a coin flip to decide? Specific compliments and apologies to each of the unlucky users? -- sess ... Copied to Clipboard!

"Sorry, don't know you" usually works.

I feel like posting your apologies as you vote seems kind of contrived to everyone you're not apologizing to. I always just post my vote, and then personally contact the people I minused via AIM or whatever and just beg for forgiveness. Maybe I'll buy them a game or two on Steam. This way you can maintain playing the anti-game, because people on the board think you don't care, but you the people you minused know that you care about them.
Also you shouldn't neglect people just because you didn't minus them. If you +0 or even just +1 an important person, they might get mad just as easily as a -3. -- _foolmo_ 'You are obviously intelligent and insightful' - Sir Chris about me ... Copied to Clipboard!

Crim's move is actually also terrible - you don't have to apologize to Xbyte. save it for when a division is stacked with people who all vote "I'd plustwo you in almost any other division". why is "plustwo" failing spellcheck? UOTY has been around for long enough

put on a fake 'mean' or 'elite' persona so that you say bad stuff about everyone in the division equally, but none of them will be offended because they know you're just 'playing around'
