Patriots will pull it off. I'm probably just blinded by my patriots loyalty, but still, their odds probably are not superbad. (feel free to correct me, junker.)

Their odds are okay, currently 4th.

I guarantee it won't be Broncos/Seahawks, though.  One or the other, maybe.  Two #1 seeds in the SB does not happen often, and there is nothing about the current #1 seeds that suggest this year will be extraordinary.

The Council is there to run the Society, not the forum. As far as I'm concerned, forum rules are firmly within the jurisdiction of the forum admins.

I think this is completely necessary.  That is how I believe it was laid out in the beginning.  I am happy to confer with council on things, but ultimately there are three admins that are good at putting their personal feelings aside and dealing with issues objectively.

It says admins are still nominated. Conflicting information, help?

Are we able to change our votes? Because new old regulars signing up is making a bit of a difference.

I would think that this should be acceptable.

Holy fuck. Cowboys. Mwahahaha!

Had I bet that game, it would've been against the Cowboys.  Their typical meltdowns in December have become quite common.

We do know what we are voting for, which is why squevil has received so many votes.

I agree that it needs to get done.  What we are voting on is a group of people who have 6 months to get some things done.  Forming this constitution, and all the regulations.  Defining the powers of the council, etc.  We have to have some belief that the community can trust these people they are voting for.  It is temporary anyway, and if things work out the way we hope, we will have paved a great way for the future of this forum, and organization.  If it fails, it was temporary anyway and can be blown up and started from scratch.

On the other forum, it is against the rules to post private messages without the other person's consent.  I feel like my privacy was taken away when rooster decided to post my private thoughts.  Thanks, rooster, for making me feel like shit.

We don't have an official rule on that, yet.  I am inclined to agree.  I have removed the PM images, although it doesn't matter much as they have already been seen.

If he doesn't want to be a mod then he can tell an admin if he so chooses.  An opinion expressed in a "private" message is not something I am going to hold against anyone when it wasn't intended for everyone to read.

His public posts say the same thing.

Is there a way to block him? I just want him to leave me alone privately and publicly.

Add him to your ignore list and make sure your PM setting is set to allow PMs from everyone but those on that list.  Takes care of public and private.

Why would we pm votes? Shouldn't it be public to  ensure its legit

So the running votes don't influence other votes.  You will be more inclined to vote for someone who has a chance of winning which could be an issue if you wanted to vote for someone else but may feel it is a waste if they don't have a chance.

Votes can be published afterward.

No. Ryan Mallett is good.

He was a whiny douche at Arkansas and led the only SEC team that lost to Ohio St. in a bowl game.  He is terrible.

If there are no objections. I can take the voting to the next phase. Before I'd proceed though I will run things by you all. Tell me to slow down if you like but I prefer actions to words. I have an idea to keep things secret and fair too. Let me know what you think and I can run through the details.

Please, proceed.
