Monk. You're going to have to remove Legend of Lagdon. Compoundoverkillcornbread, haezel, and thechosenone456 are all the same person. Also, the guy was banned for trolling.

So...either he removes it then waits until enough votes are added or it just gets removed because someone cheated in?

[How did you get that information btw? Just a tad bit curious here]

Legend of Lagdon is pretty cool. I'll replace one of the votes.

No offense if it truely is a story that deserves to be on the same page as Boatmurdered and Nist Akath, I haven't read it, but I personally don't think someone who would create multiple accounts to vote his own story in should be rewarded with induction even if more people vote on it.

On the same subject I think people should be a lot more picky about what they vote in in general. Before the renewal of this topic (and when the old one was still being updated) an induction was a rare thing indeed and a big deal. It seems more that a fort or story gets inducted more because it's popular then legendary, and i'm saying this right up to my own topic which was pretty new with not much to show for and should probably have stood the test of time before being considered. Some of the people who voted it in like The Master I think never even posted in it.

I'll go so far as to request that Cyberdorf Systems be removed and a set minimum of months be put in before being allowed to be nominated. 2 months maybe?

Basically, be picky! This is the Hall of Legends, not the Hall of Popular.

(no offence to the people who voted in my topic, just knowing that you like it is enough and I thank you)

I agree on the minimum time thing. I mean, look at Hellcannon (which due to Strategia's writing is now getting a lot closer to having my vote).

I'm fairly certain I didn't just vote for something just because it was popular, well, besides hellcannon...

Hmm, sure, but, yknow, it'd be kinda a waste to vote something that gets abandoned a week or so afterwards, right?

You have you admit that you like almost everything  ;). Most of the topics nominated you've voted for I think, you're allowed to be critical!

Yeah.  I agree with this.  This is more like the hall of masterpieces.  We need to turn it back or put series together under a spoiler so it will be less "filled"

I also vote for a removal.  No offense to the genius who is working on that.

Perhaps the project must be completed before being elected?

No, there's an active section, and a finished section.

but it would prevent tales that start epic but fail later from being inducted.

that's why we remove those ones, IF and WHEN that happens. The system has worked fine for years, there's no need to change anything.
