Wish I were a computer person...
I'd vote for them more then once a day if I were...
I can't beleive that things can get so serious,
I thought everyone would just vote for their favorite company then thats done...
Apparently I will have to start voting people down as well.
Oh well, all is are in Love 0) and War >:D...

it seems to me that this voting has created a frenzy that is dragging some of us to places that are not at all pleasing.
  :hmm:

For all we know there may even be members here that are voting against Playmobil.

the majestic plural doesn't suit you richard, my friend.  :)
... and the doubt that you leave "gliding" in the air doesn't suit you either.  :)
i know that sometimes it can be hard to deal with frustration but to turn this matter into a "war" won't help.
i can't accept that if someone is voting against playmobil we should also retaliate in the same manner.
playmobil is known for the smile in its figures - maybe it doesn't deserve this kind of behaviour.

i am not a computer specialist (far from it) but i guess that a modest programmer wouldn't find it difficult to create a program that automatically votes for or against, deleting its steps and doing it all again one tenth of a second later.
is this a "war" that someone would like to win?
what for?  ::)

I agree, and I think Richard you should retract that vague accusation. This is supposed to be a bit of fun, and if it's going to start becoming an obsession and a cause for dissent between Playmofriends than the fun is diminished.

It doesn't matter to me if Playmo gets beaten to #1 by Bundesbank, we have still shown tremendous support for Playmobil getting to #2. I bet Focus are suprised by the popularity of Herr Brandstatter.

In the end, doing an honest job is like peeing in a dark pair of pants, it gives you a warm feeling, but nobody else notices! This sort of mimics the revolutionary war in which marching in a straight line into the foes hidden defenses became a bad idea! All is fair in love & war, we're here to win, because no one remembers who came in second place, due to second place being the first loser! BTW, if we are going to get goody goody, each of us should only be voting once in this contest, not multiple times or even once a day, but it seems no one, even the opposing voters, are following honest rules of conduct, so rules of engagement need to adapt! Willing to fight the honest fight, when all others are not following suit will cause you to be conquered most of the time!

And, unfortunately, it may not be just Bundesbank employees. For all we know there may even be members here that are voting against Playmobil.



You are absolutely correct, Martin! It is indeed a very vague statement, because we don't know. And, we can only hope that no Playmofriend would ever do that.


Quote from: Richard on March 22, 2010, 20:53:07

Don't ask me why anyone would do that. It would be really stupid when we have so much to gain!



Actually, if there were any Playmofriends voting against Playmobil, it would probably be very difficult for most of us to even begin to comprehend their motivation and rationale!

However, if any member of Playmofriends seems threatened by such a vague statement, which was followed by a question of incredulity, now that may be something that might concern some of us.
