I think I should get an award for the most lopsided poll results in the history of Apolyton.

Surely there has not been a poll with such a lopsided result.

If you leave out one-person elections in the democracy games, you're probably right... that said, I doubt that even any of the very lopsided one-person elections got a FIFTY-ONE to three vote.... and I'd have to dig through far too many threads to find out for sure.

No, just because he failed to notice an own goal doesn't mean that one did not occur. Surely he noticed my original post that he quoted was facetious enough not to be serious. I can understand non-native English speakers taking the post at face-value, but you and BC? I have to say, I am disappointed.

O' course. And I would have thought you would have noted the same in my response.

And I think Spike was accusing me of not being on the ball.

Does the fact that this thread is still around mean that the admins are considering the original proposition of removing the edit feature?

It means the admins couldn't be bothered stating the obvious - the edit function will not be removed - and the mods don't mind the discussion in the thread continuing.

once they realize we are not seriously discussing the merits of removing the edit post feature.

And there are many merits to doing so.

oh who am I kidding. There is only 1 reason to do so.

It's not an own goal because it wasn't a question...

shameful admission. I never really understood this own goal thing.

I just pretend to understand it.

Hopefully not being too basic here. Its derived from a football/soccer expression which means to score a goal for the wrong team. In the boards adaptation it means to say something that self-implicates, contradicts your position or otherwise makes you look an idiot.

It's always in a question form (e.g. What is the fruit of Apolyton), and anyone who says "Banana" has conceded "100-0" to whoever asked the question.

However, you can set off the "trap" by simply stating "Own Goal".

That's pretty close to an own goal since I was supporting you.

And that's about as childish as saying "Umm, not 'llowed to same umm!". Cue next child to repeat phrase. Repeat ad nauseum or until teacher enters room.

Be careful when generalizing. I remember in the first ACDG when Archaic ran uncontested for some post or other. He lost to "Banana".

Wow, and here I thought the only election where anyone ever lost to the banana was panag in the Civ3 Democracy Game (I believe he lost to the banana more than once, actually).
