  • It's so interesting not knowing who the creator of the new poll is now… and it will be for some time. But I plan to reapply for the 13th Committee sometime later, though that won't be super soon. I plan to post in the wiki/forum regret thread I created about mistakes I've made recently even though they're not unamendable

    Please do not consistently try to throw a pity party about the fact that you didn't get on the committee this year. Even if you say that's not what you're doing, in practical terms and results, that is what you're doing.

    If you want to apply later, just apply later. Don't bring it up all the time in a "boy I sure am not on the poll committee anymore" way. That does you no favors.

    Reading chat on Discord about Oh, Brother makes me realize the perfect analogy as to why I very much dislike The Fenton Menace. It's just the conflict in Oh, Brother except not funny or interesting
    Is this I sent to Polly as Manfred Von Karma still too spoilery

    Imma train you to uh… recite the entire two scenes where Friar Tuck blows up with expletives at the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood YTP Prince John's Holiday with Satan!

    No spoilers so Friar Tuck's attitude won't be how people feel towards me
    Heh, right before I was about to play the Pursuit theme from DS Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Justice For All, it switched to the GBA version of that song on the order in iTunes
    Well, the MLP episode I have up next is Grannies Gone Wild. Love the Golden Girls reference even though I have no idea what that is 💀

    I like the reference despite having no idea what Golden Girls is just cuz another reviewer complimented the reference so I decided to just automatically concur before too knowing much of anything about the episode 💀💀💀
    Is there anyone left on the forum who's read the Percy Jackson books, at least the first five/original series?
    Nate Jacobs
    Nate Jacobs
    Correct, have you read the series though, or did you just hear that as a spoiler? Even though it's extremely likely it's the first

    I'm happy the next book will be about Nico and Will Solace, I always felt like while I still don't think Will is a bad character Riordan sometimes could have given him more development aside from being Nico's boyfriend reading Trials of Apollo, but this book could be a good chance for that
    Well, FWD rejected my application, which wasn't too shocking in retrospect. I was overconfident for even thinking it was 50/50 whether he would, considering there are two things during my recent Chairperson campaign I need to apologize for, one I'm positive is the major reason I was rejected, and the other being important too.
    First, my comment about "lumping a ton of people in the Poll Committee makes it a feel like a less important position" was foolish of me, and I owe everyone an apology for that. I got carried away with the feeling of importance I felt due to my role on the 12th Committee, and said something not just arrogant and pompous, but dead wrong. The Poll Committee is about having fun coming up with new-thought-provoking and providing them for everyone, not about being better-known or important, and I know now just how completely erroneous what I said was there.
    Secondly, I shouldn't have instantly assumed that an IP adding Gabumon's vote was not Gabumon, and called the IP a liar for adding the vote. I was both definitions of wrong, as well as immature and minimodding, and deeply apologize for that too.

    I have both been improving, and plan to keep improving, and making a better person, myself through my mistakes, and have learned so much through both my work on the 12th Committee and both of my Chairperson campaigns. I wish FWD and his current team, and anyone else who is accepted luck, as well as skill.
    I am planning to make three elimination threads when my very long break from posting them ends. That was actually four until Toadettefan went ahead on the exact thread I was planning to make for MLP:FiM episodes of its last two seasons. No spoilers on what the three are though
    I never knew it was just my 10th birthday on the Super Mario Wiki on June 27th, 2022, but found that out when I looked at my user talk history! (I thought it was on June 30th, lol)
    Did you know that the initials of the case Reunion and Turnabout are RAT?

    And on the topic of that word in its plural form being how I've felt, boy I sure like not having played Farewell My Turnabout yet and YouTube still recommends "PHOENIX WRIGHT DISPLAYS FINAL PIECE OF EVIDENCE AGAINST *redacted*"

    Pfft, oh wait I forgot, no I don't
    The Poll Committee might be getting a bit slower now because two of our polls have been decided, but it's still going good for all of us. No spoilers to what either of those polls are about though
    Only a week until the Poll Committee Chairperson Election happens, I'm excited

    I considered running but I haven't been on the PC in so long that I need a bit of a refresher so I'll probably just try to join the committee this year. Maybe a 2023 run is in the cards for me though.

    Heads up, if anyone really wants to run, I'm more than happy to guide them through the process should they become the next chairperson.
    There's a new filter on my computer maybe set by my parents so consequently now I can't even enter google.com because that's blocked.
    Yesterday I tried to get my dad to apologize for stewing in anger and then boiling over at me in late-ish March because I had calmly told him not to double-dip in the cottage cheese earlier that day, but he wouldn't make amends and said he still considered it an "asshole move" for me to even levelheadedly point out not to double-dip just because I've made mistakes before too.

    Having a lot of triggers happens, but when you blow up over someone requesting basic courtesy from you and then treat that as an excuse and not just a reason for your behavior and try to use that to not make amends for doing so, that is on you.
    Wait a second, you're Electrical Bowser jr.?!

    Come to think of it, did you lose access to the original account? Normally duplicate accounts are frowned upon per MW:BLOCK

    My old account I think had an elementary school email account that I can't use again, but I'm not sure so at some point I'll ask the mods

    One way that one could tell I was Electrical Bowser jr. is that in 2014 there was overlap between my Super Mario Wiki and Super Mario Boards account as both usernames were Shadow rocks!
