Help Cody from BlueBomber win something!

[Abominator]

One of my few MM-site-webmaster-friends is trying to win a MegaMan sketch that Inafking drew, here's what he said to me:

[00:21] Cody: yo dude
[00:21] Abominator: Hiya, how's life?
[00:21] Cody: not bad, about to go to a family reunion
[00:21] Cody: Do you have several minutes?
[00:21] Cody: I was wondering if you could go here: http://www.ripten.com/2008/07/16/win-original-keiji-inafune-mega-man-sketch/#comment-45774
[00:21] Abominator: sure, what's up?
[00:22] Cody: And mod everyone's comment down
[00:22] Cody: and mine up
[00:22] Cody: It ends tomorrow and I want to win
[00:22] Cody: hah
[00:22] Cody: You don't need to reg
[00:22] Cody: Just click the thumbs up button by Cody the Bluebomber
[00:22] Cody: and everyone else a thumbs down
[00:22] Abominator: cool, no probs
[00:22] Cody: excellent, thanks man
[00:22] Abominator: how many people do you have doin this?
[00:25] Cody: like 7?
[00:25] Cody: heh
[00:25] Cody: 8?
[00:25] Cody: everyone on my aim right now
[00:25] Abominator: well, that protodude guy is the only one ahead of you now
[00:25] Abominator: his site is full of lies.
[00:25] Cody: not for long
[00:26] Cody: Can you forward my request to someone that might be willing to help me out?
[00:26] Cody: I'll owe ya one
[00:26] Abominator: sure, i'll post it on MMM
[00:26] Cody: thanks man!
[00:26] Cody: I bet some dudes have already registered for it
[00:26] Abominator: i'll just cut and paste this convo
[00:26] Cody: lol
[00:27] Cody: Ok, if everyone will help me win, I'll scan it and give copies to people
[00:27] Cody: I'll clean it up and color it to
[00:27] Cody: too
[00:28] Abominator: nice one, i'm workin on a new MMM gallery now.

So now you lot should do as I did and help Cody win, because he's a good dude and not a big fat liar.

[preventerWIND]

K, I'll do it.

Whats in it for me though?

[Vinchenz Rock]

Done.

That took a bit...

Regardless, he's +5 now while everyone else is --.

[preventerWIND]

Protodude is +1 I think. I'm getting a few of my friends on AIM and MSN to help out too.

[NovaMan XP]

Doing that now. Cody has +8 now and Protodude has -2.

[ChaosVortex]

I'm in the process of doing it.

I also got Ikeoko to help.

[Ikeoko]

My good deed for the day is done. I feel accomplished.

[saldite]

Happy to help out. Last I saw everyone else was in the negative.

[Xero]

I did my part.

[ChaosVortex]

I'm done. Tell Cody "best of luck" for me.

Or he can just read this. Either way.

[Fatso]

Hurrah for subverting the democratic system!

[Johncarllos]

?

I click the thumbs up and nothing happens.

[Snare]

Everyone else is in the deep negatives now.

I FEEL KINDA BAD.

[preventerWIND]

ITS THEIR FAULT FOR NOT HAVING FRIENDS D:

[Fatso]

Voted again from another computer.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Voted again from another computer.

OoooOOOoooh. You Devil, you!

[ASR]

I voted his up, but I didn't bother voting everyone else down because he's clearly very far in the lead and definitely going to win.

[ChaosVortex]

It's getting closer. So far he's up by 20 approximately.

Yeah, he's clearly going to win.

[Yubi Shines]

Voted.

Yeah, unless Protodude spawns about thirty friends, this one's in the bag.

[Xzeemo]

I did my part. Looks like a landslide victory to me. ^.^

[Winged Warrior]

Yeah, he's clearly going to win.

They might call shenanigans...
Claim Mass E-mails or that the means of doing it was unfair and all that bull#####.

Either way, I voted up for him, down everyone else.

[Kamon]

I've done my part. Cody's +20-odd while the nearest person is Protodude with -13.

[Mikero]

OK I helped out. Thumbed everyone else down and gave Codes the up. But I have to say that (A) it looks pretty awful that Cody is +26 and everyone else is in mad negatives, Protodude being closest at -15, and (B) the sketch is pretty bad and lazily done and you can tell he just whipped it off for them.

Anyway did anyone actually read Protodude's post?
Loser.

[preventerWIND]

I just noticed that, sweet Jesus, he IS a loser.

[Mikero]

Especially if it's not even entirely true. And I'm sure it's not.

[Vinchenz Rock]

Yeah, that's what I thought when I first read it.

[preventerWIND]

I believe most of it, like the part about him being bullied at school.

lulz

[Majikn]

I always thought bullies were even bigger losers.

?

I click the thumbs up and nothing happens.

Yeah.

[Mikero]

I think it's a losery post because full of cheesy bull##### that's not even true so people vote him because they feel sorry for him. That's a loser thing to do.

[ASR]

BUT MIKE IT'S SIGNED ARTWORK BY INFAKING

[Abominator]

I'm gonna have to read it now.

*does*

Yeah, I don't want him teaching my kids.

[Mikero]

BUT MIKE IT'S SIGNED ARTWORK BY INFAKING

My self-respect outweighs my desire for a ten second Megaman sharpie drawing.

[ASR]

It's not worth paying shipping for, but it would be a cool little thing to have if someone just gave it to me.

Yeah, I don't want him teaching my kids.

"Hey Dad, today we learned that GutsMan's power beats CutMan, and CutMan's power beats ElecMan, and..."

[Majikn]

I love how a lot of the posts in the negatives are all around the same number, except for the worse ones.

[Xero]

So...did he win?

[ChaosVortex]

By the looks of it, undeniably.

[ASR]

http://www.ripten.com/2008/08/18/keiji-inafune-mega-man-sketch-contest/

Doesn't specify who won, though it's obvious.

[bluebomber]

Howdy MMM'ers! This is Cody, the guy trying to win the sketch. So far, no one has contacted me about who is the winner, nor has the page been updated.

I don't feel we blatantly subverted the democratic process, however. It would seem the most popular candidate was chosen, IMHO. What we have done hasn't ruined my chances for the sketch (probably). However, I feel I still have the best chance as my post was well-thought out and not as losery and whiney as 90% of the other ones.

I do appreciate the help here. And to answer preventerWIND, what's in it for you guys? Well, if I win, I was planning on scanning it, cleaning off the blue lines, and adding some color, then posting it as a high quality image for everyone else to enjoy. I just thought it would be cool to have something the creator of Mega Man actually made.

In any case, thank you to all you helped. I can only hope it actually made a difference!

[ASR]

I demand a million dollars!

[bluebomber]

I demand a million dollars!

Oh, is that all? How about 10 million? Of course, it's in Zimbabwean dollars which means you might be able to buy a crust of bread with it.

[Winged Warrior]

I like this person, Can we keep him?

[Mikero]

That's the best part of bread.

[bluebomber]

That's the best part of bread.

There are some that would disagree. (I'm not one of them)

[Mikero]

They aren't as cool as us, though.

[Xero]

Wiiware Gift us MM9!!!!!oneoneone J/K

[preventerWIND]

I like this person, Can we keep him?

Only if you promise to take responsibility. Taking care of a new member is very hard, and its something you have to commit to!

Welcome Cody, Coders, Codo, Co-doo... eh... Cody's fine. Enjoy your stay!

[Mikero]

WW, you'll have to walk him every day AND pick up his dooky. You can't just leave it, it's against the law.

And it's Codester, Wind. Codester.

[bluebomber]

You forgot Codeman.

[Johncarllos]

I just noticed the Abominator thing in your avatar.
Neato.

Well, since I immediately noticed where it was from (Zelda 2), I thought I'd add it. Maybe I can be part of the exclusive club now.
