The essays.
The fact is this, TLN. You were only meant to do the videos. You expressed interest to do more, so I let you announce some of the categories. You were never a key aspect to the show; that was Ralph and I (as it was last year).
You then posted on the thread answering people's questions with incorrect answers. You made several major decisions without consulting anyone. I was already getting the feeling that you were trying to take over, but it was that night with the Screencaps thing that you keep posting that pushed it over the edge. You clearly wanted the show, so I virtually put my hands up and surrendered, thus giving you the show. This is something I create on my own last year; I got help along the way, but most of the work was just me. I wanted the best for the show this year, and as annoyed as I was at you, I did trust you to be fair and whatnot. You may have shown signs of bossiness, but I just didn't expect things to go haywire. You got the show that you pushed Ralph and I out of that you wanted so badly. It could've stayed yours.
But then, yesterday happened. I take pride in what I created and wasn't going to let the shadiness occur. There were inaccuracies. You broke ties yourself. Not to mention, you somehow walked away with quite a few nominations which seemed quite odd, especially after you PM'd a member saying that you "got nominated a whole lot but gave it up to others."
So last night transpired, you've continued your meltdown with rhetoric.
And I have to admit: you're good with rhetoric! You had me convinced you were just a nice kid that wanted to help, rather than showing me the egomaniac that you really are.
And you continue your rhetoric, now you're continuously trying to mangle my character (and others' character too).
But at the end of the day, statistics speak louder than rhetoric: the amount of nominations you received (considering your name wasn't even mentioned in any of the nomination ballots until you submitted your own personal noms), your "tie breaking process" that we're still unaware of, the spreadsheets that still prove nothing, and nominations vanishing (whether that was you or the email address' fault - we'll never know).
You talk a good talk, Ryan. Be happy that we're not re-doing the nomination process because Katie and I were seriously considering that.
