Rational the Robot
Too many people, think they can sink what aint feeble,
Chip at your ego 'til you're such a charred, marred human embodiment of Dame Cathedral,
They don't get what's like to lose sleep though, only debates they're taking are penalising retards, slam dunk from a free-throw,
What do they care about the Madman, he's a cheap hoe, just make a debate and state you want him and he accepts it, damn what a meek foe,
Scammin' a freakshow, let him bleed slow, on the floor nothing more then yesterday's big news now locked in the asylum, quietly cryin', where did he go?

Madman the Monster
Fuck do they know about the sweat or the work? Think they slice this silverback gorilla and cover his fur with dirt and that would murder him? Sorry sir, I think your plan didn't work,
Me Madman, me free, You badman, you jerk, Me batman, Woopee! Never let the votes corrupt the integrity of my own voting or stop the gloating of this honourable opponent of the wannabe potent non-apologetic pathetic sideline bench-sitters who are too shit to ever make this damn thang sprout from a spurt,
I'm the best there is, but me tomorrow vs me today would leave Madman now a whole world 'sorrow,
So 'fore you come for the neck, gotta know if you break it, Madman stiffens up, improves his form, bides time, adapts, impresses all those messin' with the king, chucks the rest into the bin 'n' it'll never be a dim light in the Illuminati-tier construct of ingenious working of a person who literally doesn't care if you think he's someone there's no-one worse than...
RationalReuptake
Search, scan, obtain data, ride up to to a muggle struggling with debates like "Ya Vanna Kick Awff Bruh?", (Avada Kedavra)
One must not let slip the drip-drip of a leaking gutter of a buttered ego, crowd today voting against ya', yesterday's 'wow man, we luv 'ya!'
Poise with the posture, of a timid servant of the very servant itself, sat on a flat ass slim shady poopin' on the site like an executive boss chair,
Got you in the cross-hairs, It's time to not front fair, Take the enemy in the ways they never thought a debater could take it on and make the Ramshutu's lose it with WOO HOO Rational, you're back bad as ever in fact you never were this elegant before at it, 
Shut up, you back-stabbing bunny foo foo, I'm the Da Vinci to your Donatello, you nunchuck wielding wannabe, with wrick-it Raphael on a spree for now but soon I'll construct shit so complex that Admin Michelangelo'll bow before this fellow.

Hang in there, man.  I respect your Mesault-like defiance by verse in the face of authority and antagonistic majority.  You're a bit punk in the best sense.

I think I am done. I think 2-3 votes were removed so I think I missed out on about 8 debates. Those were the long ones and I would like avoid voting on them if I don't have an interest in what was going on. Spite was not existence in those debates either so I can't use that either. Typically I have a mix of spite and interest for debates. For the ones I didn't vote on I didn't have both. Most of the votes were really easy to vote on so my spite and interest levels does not need to be too high.

some of these eye-gougers take hours trying to figure out a worthwhile approach.  brutal.  I think working up from the lowest hanging fruit is the best strategy.

It's not triumphant yet. It will be. I have updated my debating algorithm, you will see the new style on my 2 current Round 1-waiting debates.

I got a pretty late start- i haven't really tried counting but it feels to me like a few people might be ahead of me and I've already had one vote deleted.  Honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if another vote or two was yanked. Remember that a few of us had voted on a bunch of those FFs before the contest....giving what? maybe a 12 point advantage to people who pick all those up. Maybe we'll get a better sense on Monday but right now could be anyone's game.

My money is on Speedrace, as far as I can tell none of his votes have been deleted and he's pretty active. You're likely doing well too, I keep seeing you grab the first vote on every new debate

Hey Guys! Not long left now! 

Just for your information. I will start tabulating things the moment the competition ends. I hope to have preliminary scores up in the next day or so! I will be working on one person at a time, in alphabetical order, then present a summary of all points: as moderation may remove votes subsequently: I would like to leave the scores up for 2 days before formalizing them to declare a winner, and to give everyone a chance to review/challenge or make any corrections on points I’ve missed.

As there’s only 4 people competing, I will also not formally award a wooden spoon either.

I entered the contest late and thought I only had until the end of the day to vote on the debates. I didn't and then bsh1 took down so many votes of mine down. I knew I was going to lose even though I disagree with most of what bsh1 removed as my not so sufficient voting. I do feel like I was done dirty. Partly my fault and I partly blame bsh1. I don't blame Ramshutu if he thought I blamed him.

Chin up, it was all a lark anyway & your votes will likely be more bsh-proof in future. In bsh’s defense, his consistency as admin was the reason I came to DART.

You are always free to voice objections to particular rulings or to ask for review of the ruling by the mod who made it.

I wouldn’t worry too much. To be honest, from DDO onto here, it’s difficult to appreciate and understand the reasons votes are removed, and it’s easy to take it personally and feel like there was some obtuse error committed by moderation. I don’t always 100% agree with everything they’ve decided, but they’re always made in good faith.

Don’t forget there’s plenty of other reasons to hate the mod team :)

I have lost really badly so it doesn't matter now. I'll complain the next time a vote of mine is taken down. I don't think it would be the case because I am going back making bsh1 or Virtuoso read an entire story before not removing my vote.

Okay, cool. And moderation has been known to reverse or amend rulings on appeal. We try to be open-minded, though, of course, we're human and imperfect.

Eye gouger: if requested by a participant in this thread (and if he decides it to be so)- Ramshutu will designate particular debate “eye gougers” - which are debates that are particularly complex or long. Any vote on an eye gouger debate will earn an additional 10 points, regardless of position.
The horror.

This was forbidden in the Geneva Conventions.
