Seems lots of people are voting incorrectly. I think it's a testament to the lack of communication in the opening post. lefty, I hope you realize that so you don't make the same mistake next time.

Heh, and I just realized lefty edited his post defensively and unprofessionally
READ THE RULES. THEY ARE NOT COMPLICATED.
Kinda reminds me of the first 4way contest in 2007. Lots of casual non-regs complained that they had no idea the order mattered, and B8's typical response was to call them stupid. Even sinenomine's "official" response was bitter and unprofessional - even worse than lefty's IIRC. It was far easier to insult the non-B8ers rather than admit SBAllen communicated the rules terribly and it was his fault.

"Best host," blah blah. You're not bitter because of a poor round format, we all know damn well why you're bitter - because Lefty caught you cheating and kicked you out. Your buddies told you to just own up to it and shut up for the remainder of UotY, but no, you just have to destroy your own reputation further.

I told lefty this, but when rules aren't followed with such regularity, it's a communication snafu and probably the fault of the person who tried to communicate said rules. If the rules are new and relatively complex for a user contest (these are), then the communicator should go to great lengths to make the rules clear. Like I said, the same thing happened during the 2007 contest, although on a much larger and more embarrassing scale.
It's a far more effective lesson for next time (and far more accurate) than getting defensive and blaming the voters, or worse yet, insulting their intelligence. It's my understanding that people have ganged up on lefty for the job he's done hosting, but I'm just offering constructive criticism. If I wanted to yell at him, it would be a far more fantastical affair and all would be entertained.

Do you think cats are clever? They don't hold a candle to dogs and SuperNiceDog is the cream of the crop since he won the Guru contest without breaking a sweat.
