Assuming I'm one of those people, who are the others? And I don't think I criticised the original contest anyway, only this new one.

If someone is voting based on popularity and not on what happened in the other thread, then so what? The idea is based on who you think DESERVES it, not who you think is the BEST forumite... so don't put things into the thread or into people's heads which don't exist! This never was a popularity contest and wasn't intended as one, ya big dork!
"DESERVES" based on what criteria? The only one voters have been given is: "who killed the thread", and that, of course, isn't met by anybody.

You seem to think of me as a party-crasher or something, but your changing the rules of the contest (even a "FUN contest") when it's already on, isn't cool either. For instance if I wanted to "play" (as in, to win the prize), my strategy could be to post regularly every two days, and that way I wouldn't even make it to the vote-able 15 today, because those who made the most posts supposedly wanted the drawing the most.

If you can't see what you're doing, then good luck to you, AFGNCAAP. You induced a nasty element into something that was never intended that way through suggestion, which I resent, and are now continuing do to so.

Then maybe you should stop wording your posts in such a way that I must either reply to them or end up looking as a dork / killjoy (including the latest post, too). But, alright, if people honestly think I am typing this for the sake of spoiling the fun, I'm outta here.

You choose to reply and write what you want, I'm not making you type! Perhaps you should therefore do the same?

I've hopefully cleared it up everything in Thread Must Die! now.

I think "Other" should definitely win. They've shown remarkable restraint by not getting involved in any of the varied arguments raging over these two threads.

A vote for Other is a vote for sanity in a limited comparative sense

Oh, right, the prize... I didn't remember there was a prize too...

Flagnamnit, I just missed the list... (Yeah, I've been playing BG&E)

And I second the previous spokesperson.

Here I am, I'm the master of your destiny,
I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
Give me your kings, let me squeenze them in my hands,
Your puny princes,
Your so-called leaders of your land,
I'll eat them whole before I'm done,
The battle's fought and the game is won,
I am the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
Move over, I said move over,
Hey, hey, hey clear the way,
There's no escape from my authority - I tell you -
I am the one the only one, I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize, just gimme the prize,
I am the only one,
I am the god of kingdom come,
Gimme the prize.


THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE


Well actually three, but that doesn't fit in with the song/movie. Plus Rlacey anf Scott should win anyway

Maybe you could win a "Mercury" prize instead Lucien.

Like one of these:

(1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler )
Or perhaps one of these:

(1970 Mercury Marauder )

I love that movie. I've listened to the song but it's been so long and I guess I never really knew the words. Silly me!!

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...venturegame-20 it officially flagged as the soundtrack or is it only "A Kind of Magic" the Queen album that happens to include the songs from Highlander?

There wasn't an official soundtrack at the time, but "A kind of Magic" has all the songs from the film on it as well as "One Vision" the theme from Iron Eagle

That's the one with the false echoes at the end isn't it? The echoes are "One Vision" but the last two words (that the echoes come off) are actually "Fried Chicken" Great piece of sound work.
