    Here's the problem with your logic: I'm not a moderator, nor would I waste a moderator's time with this. This is what I've done in the past, and I hate to even say it because I'm sure people will use it to game the system, but since I'm done with this game after this year I really don't care.

    When there's a suspicious account:

    1. First I look to see when they joined.
    2. Are there any other posts in other forums? If yes, usually end of story.
    3. If not, I might ask a moderator to see if IPs match up. Surprisingly, never had to do this.

    In this instance, no point in doing any of these steps because of the username and Ricky admitting it was his girlfriend casting votes. To me, whether true or not it's against the spirit of the game. I'm not wasting a mod's time with it trying to prove anything.

    I'm sorry if this upsets some of you but it's the best possible decision for the game in my opinion. I meant when I said I'm not running this next year, so any of you who disagree can take the reigns and do whatever you want with the rules. I'm not trying to be a dick on a power trip here I just feel like I put in enough work running this game, especially in the beginning when count is always off that I shouldn't have to deal with bull**** like this and have some of you telling me "that's low" or other such nonsense. 5 years of running this game and this has never come up because it's common sense.

    This really is the last response I'll make. I'm going to continue the game like it is and will continue to not allow votes like the votes being discussed. If some of you are bothered by that I don't know what to tell you except that nobody is forcing you to play. I hope you'll all keep playing but I'm not screwing up the whole game and turning it into a multiple account **** show to make a couple people happy.

    If you don't see a difference, I cannot convince you of it, my friend. But I see a difference between ThePhins members and people joining to vote.

    By the way, I also recruited PSG (spelling) to come back from another thread and start voting again because i like him... and he ended up voting for Wake and know what, I respected his choice! I'm about PLAYING and enjoying playing. But with the players who are intended to play. How it turns out concerns me less than how we play.

    I think that's been pretty clear through my respecting the Wake voters position throughout. Hell, my favorite guy in the game is Ophinerated. I'd vote for him any day.

    The focus is on US. We play to enjoy a game TOGETHER as a community. Of course, winning or losing matters, just like a touch football game at a family picnic... But mainly you play for the fun.

    Once it becomes about disrespecting one another, disliking one another and holding the winner of a game where the winner gets nothing anyways above the actual enjoyment and brotherhood of the game and the site, then I think the whole purpose has been lost. This whole thing is getting more about winning than enjoying it suddenly. Maybe because it's getting close to the end.

    If it creates more discord than enjoyment, it's time for a parent to take the kids' toy away. They don't get nice things if they can't behave well with them. That's why I doubt there will be this game next year, or anymore.

    Let's all congratulate ourselves on that. We are real winners for this behavior.

    In case no one has said it (I know I definitely haven't, ever) thanks for the work you put into running this game, Monst.

    I also want to thank all the guys (no matter who ya voted for.. even the damn punter) who have poured a lot of time, and determination into our amusing competition. It's been fun.

    That is bull****. Even with this little curfiffell, this has been by far the least contentious version of the game.

    I think this game is a great example of how fickle this fan base is and why it's impossible to take some of you seriously. Ted Ginn and Sparano are amongst the previous winners of this game. Now Reggie Bush is primed to win and his acquisition was lamented by so many and used as "just another example" of why Ireland is a failed GM just one year ago.

    Just calling them as I see them.
