lol wut' 'i'm not cool

What matters is what you're doing now. This is a community contest, not a popularity thing, and everyone should be treated equally. Who cares if you've won 7 times, or not at all? You just have to stay patient, and believe in yourself, but not overestimate what about underestimating lol your chances, either. You don't choose the best roleplayer, or the coolest kid, youre supposed to vote for who deserves it the most and I can't even tell if people still understand this

Really, I think you have greater chances of winning than half the nominees, and theres good reason for that :3 Well said, I see your's and Zed's point now. At this point, it's more turned into voting for people you like, versus people who deserve it. Like the OA in boy scouts, except there it actually makes sense because you like the people who deserve it. I can see how popularity might not make too much of a difference(let's be real here, you aren't going to like the people who don't deserve it as much as the ones who do), but it's definitely a factor. Exactly. Popularity and actual merit overlap, but aren't literally the same thing, which can sometimes really cause things to go downhill. You notice this very early, which is impressive, and that's why I think you're the kind of person to be someone who actually deserves to win, as well as being hella  gay cool
