Brad, could you please give us a insight in the way you experience winning this competition? How happy are you?:lol:
Being the most hated player in this world sits well with me, but I do feel the result from this poll was somewhat skewed. This is due to:
- Certain high profile names not being added to the poll.
- Certain people openly trying to push my votes up. I can guarantee that some people have voted that have never played on this world.
- My tribe killing more high profile tribes in W41 than any other tribe. From this, I would have to have made more enemies. Is this a fair indication of judging someone? I think not.
Ultimately, OCD is here to antagonize it's enemy at every turn. We are not here to hug and kiss (well... Lloyd might be...), but we are here to test our players and fight the hard wars. This includes fighting on the external forum.
The external forum is for Politics and Propoganda, so I use it whenever possible. 99% of the time, I use specific details that are highly accurate to ridicule my enemy. Its not my problem if people shoot themselves in the foot and allow me to ridicule them in public, but that's what PnP is. Anyone in politics knows that one slip up can ruin your career, its the same here.
I will admit there are people that may question my decision making in this world and this sometimes has included players in my tribe, but when they see the results of my decisions they may say that they still hate me, but they usually will also respect my ability, influence and foresight. As Shane points out to me on a regular basis, I'm a hot headed Aussie, but you need that anger to play a war game and to lead a tribe towards world dominance.
I'd also like to see a 'Most Respected Player' poll and see how the well known names in this world would fair. I know that the stats in this poll were skewed by certain people (I won't mention any names...), but it would be interesting to see if some of the most hated players were also well respected. This would not be a popularity contest, but more a way of polling who has the most respect as a leader/player/tribemate/enemy. If was a popularity contest, Jonathan1979 would win hands down. The poll would be more about the ability of the player to cooperate with their tribe and allies through teamwork and/or leadership, or their ability to fight against their enemy.
Finally, rattle off the names of the big profile names in TW - Harlos, Uldor, -Mario- etc. They all have made enemies in their time and people know these names very well, but they get the job done.
Just check out my sig, you all know it annoys you... but I get the job done.
