Since RM voted for himself, I will do what I have to do
Do what you have to do, Ramshutu will end up having to do the same, as will Mike and even Virtuoso, if they want to secure their win I merely planned ahead.
I will do an unvote on Virtuoso, and vote Supa if legal. This is because of a philosophy I have. Sorry

@bsh1
Is the deadline to post 00:29 EST or 00:30 EST?

@RationalMadman
The latter.

Time Check
This will be the final time check before the close of the voting stage. Approximately 6.5 hours remain in the voting stage.

@bsh1
Are you still going to keep secret what happens in the event of a tie?
-->
@RationalMadman
Some guidance as to that possibility has already been provided in the OP. Specifics will be announced if and when that situation arises. A plan is in place.

Thunderdome.

@bsh1
Okay, based on what happens in the OP I am not stalling this move.
I unvote Ramshutu and vote Mike.

@bsh1
After thinking about it, I would like to unvote Ramshutu and instead Vote Supa
The HoF should be about a celebration of the diverse contributions to the site; and about trying to vote based on that contribution to see who wins as a plurality.
While I could vote for myself; or go for some tactical plays- this is not the purpose of HoF.
User votes:
RationalMadman: Love him of hate him, RM has the most wins, most debates, second most votes and second most forum posts. He’s the most active user - and provides content that keeps all engaged - good or bad. He’s often the pantomime villain - and whatever your opinion of his actions or personality his ubiquitous presence over the last year on the site warrants a place in the hall of fame.
Virtuoso: Virtuoso is a tireless workhorse, vote moderator and debater. Despite having little free time, Virt spends all of his spare time working to better the site. I can think of no one better to be in the HoF. One of the nicest people you will ever meet and will do almost anything for anyone. Also puts up with all my crap!
Oromagi: Oromagi is #1 on the leaderboard with no losses, frustratingly metronomic in cranking up how wins - he regularly takes on complex and difficult debates. A classy guy who is always a pleasure to talk to as well. His debates are always high class, breaking down complex subjects into simple terms. He picks out key issues and points regularly, with a level of insight that is not well matched by anyone else.

@bsh1
I unvote the Minimum Wage thread and replace with a non-vote (I checked with Bsh1 in PM and this is allowed).

I like what the trolls did this time, it is very clever.
Attention
It has come to moderation's attention that Wylted has launched a campaign on Discord in order to influence the results of the HOF election. Based on screenshots and testimony from other users, Castin and I have independently concluded that this campaign did in fact take place.
In order to prevent this Hall of Fame from being swayed by this campaign, all votes cast for Supa (the beneficiary of Wylted's campaign) within the past 12 hours will be voided, except for Supa's own self-vote. The end time for the Hall of Fame election will also be brought forward. The Hall of Fame voting stage will now end at 11:30pm, EST, today (approximately 13 minutes from now).
All users were warned that campaigning was strictly prohibited. If you want someone to win, vote for them, don't campaign. There is a teachable lesson here: if you break the rules, you will lose.
Their motive wasn't to make Supa win, I am absolutely certain that the motive was to give Ramshutu a chance at revenge on Virtuoso for the move he made, based on the three votes and who they did and didn't vote. Thett3 wanted to also make sure I wasn't robbed, which is very noble of him.

@bsh1
I also want to add that this was not support by me and I WOULD NEVER do such a thing to rig the elections in that light, and I apologize on Wylted behalf. I will make a full apology about this on Discord and such, as this hurts my reputation as well...and am truly dissapointed his actions would lead to this...the opposite

I do not doubt your honesty and integrity in this matter. The evidence of which I am aware does not implicate you in any wrongdoing, which is partly why this is all so unfortunate.

what are you gonna do about it? He wasn’t aware of his actions and consequences...and it cost him his belief, and now this could be pinned on me. But oh well. Life goes on. Not a big deal

Isn't it 37 on the hour that you said 30 past will now be the closing time for noms/votes?
Attention
The voting stage of the Hall of Fame process is now closed. I will now verify the vote count, and will post a certified final tally, officially announcing the inducted nominees and/or identifying ties which need to be resolved. In the meantime, this thread will now be locked.
Attention
This is the finalized count of the votes in this thread. Those nominees in italics have been inducted into DART's Hall of Fame. Congratulations to all of our inaugural inductees! They are all incredibly deserving, so please join me in congratulating them on this achievement and in recognizing their contributions to the site!
