Thanks to whoever nominated me :love:

It's been a tough year and it means a lot.
/sarcasm, although the sentiment is heartfelt
:love:

[Brother Leon]

To everyone who voted me, you are welcome x. :)

[Lee.]

:D all 10 of mine through

[Kizzy]

Thankyou whoever put me through :hug:

[joeysteele]

My thanks to the members who nominated me, I greatly appreciate you taking the time to do so.
Well done to everyone who got any nominations and also enough nominations to be through to the 50 as well.

[Locke.]

9 of mine through, just Wildcat that missed out

[Ryan57]

Thanks for voting for me. I honestly didn't expect Top 50 lol.

[Niamh.]

8/10 of the people who would have been on my list got through but I missed the deadline

[joeysteele]

8/10 of the people who would have been on my list got through but I missed the deadline

I think quite a few were waiting for midnight Niamh to get their noms in, Zee had 38 through very quickly this time.

[Niamh.]

Yeah, that was really quick :/

[Marc]

Thanks whoever nominated me

[Niamh.]

Oh yes, also thank you to anyone who nominated me :love:

[AnnieK]

Thanks to anyone who nominated me too :love:

This is the first time I have qualified so thank you :amazed:

[reece(:]

Awww :( I'm glad my votes made it though

[AnnieK]

Reece :sad:

[Jake.]

Reece :(

[MTVN]

I swear in the earlier ML's it always took a few days for 50 people to get 2 votes, now it only takes a few hours and there's more big names missing out each time, shows that this place hasn't been dying as badly as people sometimes say

Your post makes good points MTVN.
I was stunned, even moreso at Mock and Vicky not making this list but it was amazing when after what seemed only a short time from midnight that Zee said he already had 38 people through with the min 3 noms.

[GypsyGoth]

Wow thank you for those who voted for me :kiss:

And not everyone I voted for made it

Awww :( I'm glad my votes made it though

You were one of them.

[Conzors]

ah damn!
maybe next time ;)
x

[Marc]

:( Reece

[reece(:]

Wow thank you for those who voted for me :kiss:

You were one of them.
Aww thankyou, likewise! I hope you do really well :amazed:

[Marc]

Maybe the voting shouldn't be a race in the future. I dunno.. There's always a few shockers

But tbh I imagine this is really stressful for Zee so I wouldn't wanna suggest something that might make it more complicated than it already is

[Novo]

please don't complicate things for him Marc

[joeysteele]

I think possibly with the announcements and some details being known for the last 2 weeks or so that people have got really interested and were determined to get their noms in asap which likely meant some people missed getting any noms in.

Zee though does this to perfection and in the end he really cannot control how slow or how fast the 3 nominations needed for to get through are achieved.

It could all be very different come the ML poll that will come in November or thereabouts.

[Novo]

Very wise and true as always Joey

[Kizzy]

I swear in the earlier ML's it always took a few days for 50 people to get 2 votes, now it only takes a few hours and there's more big names missing out each time, shows that this place hasn't been dying as badly as people sometimes say

It doesn't mean ther are more members though, just the same members voting for each other.
Opening the vote at midnight and it being practically full by 2am shows you that.

[Marc]

Yeah the run up meant everybody just wanted to vote early and had their lists ready

[joeysteele]

Yeah the run up meant everybody just wanted to vote early and had their lists ready

Well,I kind of did after amending my lists 3 times before this opened then had to amend it again.
I agree though, the run up made far more vote earlier, after all Zee had got over 40 sets of nominations between midnight and early this morning.
That is pretty good going.

[MTVN]

Maybe Zee could devise a system where the number of nominations each member receives is multiplied by their post count, and then divided by the number of months they have been a member, thus giving a reflection of general contribution to the forum, and then in round two this can be used as a handicap system by which points are worth more or less accordingly, then after that you add each members previous positions in the top 50 - if there are any - together, and divide those by the number of previous competitions they have been a part of to ensure the overall result is also an indication of how each members has become more or less appreciated over time

That would be much fairer I think

[Shaun]

and also ridiculously complicated...

[Marc]

That would be much fairer I think

Yes

[Locke.]

Sounds good to me

Allow me to play double advocate here for a moment. For all intensive purposes I think you are wrong. In an age where false morals are a diamond dozen, true virtues are a blessing in the skies. We often put our false morality on a petal stool like a bunch of pre-Madonnas, but you all seem to be taking something very valuable for granite. So I ask of you to mustard up all the strength you can because it is a doggy dog world out there. Although there is some merit to what you are saying it seems like you have a huge ship on your shoulder. In your argument you seem to throw everything in but the kids Nsync, and even though you are having a feel day with this I am here to bring you back into reality. I have a sick sense when it comes to these types of things. It is almost spooky, because I cannot turn a blonde eye to these glaring flaws in your rhetoric. I have zero taller ants when it comes to people spouting out hate in the name of moral righteousness. You just need to remember what comes around is all around, and when supply and command fails you will be the first to go.
Make my words, when you get down to brass stacks it doesn’t take rocket appliances to get two birds stoned at once. It’s clear who makes the pants in this relationship, and sometimes you just have to swallow your prize and accept the facts, instead of making a half-harded effort. You might have to come to this conclusion through denial and error but I swear on my mother’s mating name that when you put the petal to the medal you will pass with flying carpets like its a peach of cake.

[Shaun]

oh we're taking the piss

oh the comedy

how did i miss it

[Marsh.]

I thought it was only a bit of fun anyway, what's the need in making it so complicated just to make it fair?

Is it really all that worth it?

This isn't Eurovision being hit by politics. Or is it? :suspect:

Edit - oh, Mod humour.

[joeysteele]

I like the way Zee does it, see no need for change really unless he decided sometime in the future that to qualify for the 2nd round you needed a few more nominations.

[Shaun]

-wipes egg off face-

That is a terrible idea, that suggests that older members are somehow better and contribute more... and many just don't.
It is or personal opinion of who we like on the forum, not a measure dictated by longevity.

[lostalex]

I think there has been a mistake, I officially withdrew before the game even started. Please give my place to someone else.

[Josy]

Kizzy he was joking :laugh:

Aah Lostalex, did you pm Zee though to say you wanted to opt out, everything had to be done by private message.

I think also anyone wanting to not be in the 50 had to pm him by midnight tonight too.
Up to you obviously but I hope you stay in.

[MTVN]

Yes far it be from me to have to explain my own joke but I devised that pointlessly complicated system because of these two comments

I imagine this is really stressful for Zee so I wouldn't wanna suggest something that might make it more complicated than it already is

please don't complicate things for him Marc

And now I can't help but feel the whole thing was a miserable failure

[Marsh.]

failure

[lostalex]

I said it to Zee in the pre-game thread like a week ago. And it's not midnight here yet. I'll PM him and let him know.

DRAMA IN THE COURTROOM! Lostalex has withdrawn.

Round 1 is open again!

[Glenn.]

:eek:

[Z]

Niamh I haven't counted your nomination but I will if you resend it and it's the first one in to change anything, otherwise it'd be unfair

[Glenn.]

Do we all have to re-vote Greg?

[Z]

Nope, nominations sent in prior to closing are still valid, but with lostalex withdrawing it leaves one spot left to fill, so anyone who has yet to nominate can now do so. Pity this is at 1am :laugh: but perhaps an early riser will claim the decisive nomination.

[Brother Leon]

Well. Time to decide it I suppose...

[Z]

Round 1 is now closed. Again.

[Glenn.]

****ing hell :laugh:

[Black Dagger]

:joker:

[Z]

I can announce that the deciding vote did not put just ONE member through... it put TWO members through. We now have a top 51.

-opens parachute and saves us all-

[lostalex]

Sorry to everyone who "wasted" a vote on me, i thought i had made it clear in countdown thread i wasn't participating. I appreciate the love though. Sorry again.

Congrats to Vicky and Iceman!

[Ramsay]

i guess marsh doesnt want any of the cake i made for all of us :hmph:

[Ramsay]

but YES well done eoin and vicky :amazed:

[Drew.]

[Locke.]

Two excellent members in.

[Glenn.]

10 pts is the top score we can give yes?

[Conzors]

still didnt have a chance ah x

[Z]

Round 2 - After 50 members have qualified for round 2, round 1 will be closed, the shortlist will be posted and round 2 will open. Members must then choose their top 10 favourite members from this list of 51 and rank them in order of preference, from 1st to 10th place, and send their vote to me in a Private Message. You must include reasons for voting for these members as when I do the count down, I will be typing up a paragraph with reasons why each member is loved by the forum. 1st place in a set of votes in round 2 will receive 10 points, 2nd place = 9 points ... 10th place = 1 point.

Rules for Round 2 - When you PM me, PLEASE can you use the following format:

1st - User A - I like this person's bodily aromas and it pains me that they won't ever love me back.
2nd - User 23 - I want User 23's hair and I just don't care.

etc etc, down to 10th.

- Please do not use smileys in your PM, because it means I can't just copy and paste the PM into Excel (trying to paste a smiley takes forever and wastes my time)

- Please don't drop lines between your votes, e.g.

1st

2nd

3rd

- for similar reasons, this wastes my time, it just helps me get the whole thing together faster.

The Countdown - The first round score, where members received nominations, will be multiplied by 3 to give the top 50 members a first round score (e.g. if JH95 received 13 nominations, he'd have 39 points in round 1) which will be added to the second round score (e.g. JH95 receives 68 points overall in round 2) giving a final score (e.g. JH95 would have 107 points) and this overall score will be used to dictate where members finish on the final list.

Round 2 is now open!

The list of 51 you may choose from:

i shall have a think about this good bye

[Black Dagger]

:lovedup:

Good luck everybody, I'll probably get mine in mid-week, need to make sure my reasons are perf.

[Z]

I've updated the OP because I know how much Marc hates when I don't do that :laugh:

Round 2 will close at 6pm on Thursday 6th June; countdown will be on Friday 7th June beginning around 9pm!

[Kizzy]

Urgh... How can I pick ten from that lot? ...kidding :D

[Ramsay]

good luck guys! keep 'er lit hey

[Drew.]

will have a nice long think about this

[lostalex]

This would be so much easier if it was a vote to evict 10 people from the list.

[Iceman]

Sent in mine.

[Glenn.]

Got my ten, just need to sort what points I'm giving. That will be all for tonight, and I will think about the paragraphs tomorrow.

[Drew.]

its really hard deciding on the points

[Glenn.]

I know.

I hate this part :sad:

[Marsh.]

Let's not get all 'Gwyneth Paltrow' about it.

[Black Dagger]

Chuff will be getting all your 10 points tbh.

[Kizzy]

Let's not get all 'Gwyneth Paltrow' about it.

We should get all kanye about it :laugh:

[Glenn.]

Let's not get all 'Gwyneth Paltrow' about it.

iCgjQD1kvrc

[Drew.]

the 10 points is easy, its the 1 point which is the problem

[Glenn.]

The one point is always the hardest. I tend to give the one point to someone I like but don't get much time to speak to much.

[Firewire]

i have a feeling it's going to be my year

[Drew.]

The one point is always the hardest. I tend to give the one point to someone I like but don't get much time to speak to much.

Jake it is

[Glenn.]

Jonathon :sad:

[Marsh.]

We should get all kanye about it :laugh:

:laugh: I'm picturing someone jumping Niamh for the crown now.

[Kizzy]

:laugh: I'm picturing someone jumping Niamh for the crown now.

I'm sorry, but that crown should really go to chuff.... :joker:

[Marsh.]

I'm sorry, but that crown should really go to chuff.... :joker:

Fiiiiight!!!! :laugh:

[Glenn.]

Well if you vote for him you never know. They just may be a reality

[Z]

Oh I can also reveal that the most nominations any one member received in Round 1 was 15~

[Glenn.]

Has to be me obvs

[Marsh.]

It's funny but I probably have a higher chance of winning now than I did in Round 1. :laugh:

[Ramsay]

thanks for the 15 votes guys, much appreciated

[Brother Leon]

thanks for the 15 votes guys, much appreciated

No worries brah.

[lostalex]

Voted. I think my list is really solid, and I gave good reasons for everyone.

There are actually a lot of really great people on this forum.

This game would be a lot fairer if the people nominated couldn't vote though. Some people are going to vote strategically. Obviously they are not going to give 10 points to their biggest competition.

[Jack_]

Oh I can also reveal that the most nominations any one member received in Round 1 was 15~

Well done Marc

[lostalex]

So is it against the rules to post who we voted just in this thread? or anywhere on the forum? Will we get banned from future voting if we do reveal who we voted for?

I'm proud of my list and i want to share it. I put a lot of thought into it. :(

[Jack_]

Everyone usually reveals their votes after the countdown/results have been announced Alex

[Glenn.]

Yeah after the ceremony we normally share who we voted for.

[lostalex]

So zee doesn't use all of the comments people made, he just picks certain ones? Let's just say that the smiling bunny got a mention in my comments... ;)

[Shaun]

8 years on here and people still think he's a girl

oh nvm it was a typo :laugh:

[lostalex]

8 years on here and people still think he's a girl

oh nvm it was a typo :laugh:


I do that to a lot of members Shaun. For some reason i masculinize or feminize members regardless of their true gender just based on their comments and name and ava/siggy. Certain members just seem like girls or boys to me, no matter their real gender. It's weird. I called ukturtle "she" for a very long time before he changed his name to Ben.

I've been mistaken for a she around here before too. Alex is a pretty androgynous name though, so it's understandable.

[Ammi]

thanks for the 15 votes guys, much appreciated

...shhh, don't draw attention to it...I'm going to delete my other 14 accounts now....

[Ammi]

..so Eoin, Vicky and Alex are now in...why does that not make 53..?..I'm confused lol...

[lostalex]

..so Eoin, Vicky and Alex are now in...why does that not make 53..?..I'm confused lol...

nooooo. I was voted in against my will, because people didn't know that i had already opted out (like you), but then i told Zee to take me out, so he reopened it, and Iceman and Vicky tied for the 50th place, so Zee did the fair thing and let them both in. resulting in 51 places.

50 - 1 + 2 = 51.

[Ammi]

..ahh right, Alex..I was just being lazy and not reading right through the thread, so it was a bit confusing..it's a shame that you opted out though because I think that you said once that it would be nice to be more involved in games etc but it was a time zone thing...this would have been something that wouldn't have involved having to be here at a certain time, type thing...

[lostalex]

You know how easily offended I am though, I'm too sensitive to take part in popularity contests. I don't deal with rejection well.

[Ammi]

You know how easily offended I am though, I'm too sensitive to take part in popularity contests. I don't deal with rejection well.

...awww, Alex..:hug:...you silly old thing...people on TiBB like you Alex, they really do like you, we've all grown accustomed to your face as the song goes and really, it's a pretty good face....you know Alex, I do understand but if you shield yourself too much from what you fear may be..you'll also create a shield for any of the good stuff getting in..and I honestly think that there would have been some good stuff for you in ML....:hug:...you silly sausage...

[Lee.]

Alex! You big dumbass!! :bored:

I was all excited at you being in the top 50! :(

Ah well... Well done eoin and Vicky :)

[Jake.]

Jake it is

I shall remember this

[Glenn.]

I would never speak to you like that Jake...

Complete disrespect :bored:

[Jake.]

I would never speak to you like that Jake...

Complete disrespect :bored:

Thank you Glenn, you have just gone from 1 to 2 points on my list

[Jake.]

I won't do my votes drunk this time

[joeysteele]

I was really pleased Lostalex got through to the 50 as well but naturally respect his wishes now.
At least he knows he got supported this time round and is in other members top 10 of members on here.

Good luck to everyone.

[Glenn.]

-was hoping for 5points at least- :idc:

Worth a try :bored:

[Jake.]

3 is my final offer

[Glenn.]

Deal

[Ammi]

I was really pleased Lostalex got through to the 50 as well but naturally respect his wishes now.
At least he knows he got supported this time round and is in other members top 10 of members on here.

..good luck to you as well, Joey...you're one of the lovliest people I have never met...:love:...

Yet Ammi, never met yet.:hugesmile:

[Ammi]

Yet Ammi, never met yet.:hugesmile:

..indeed, Joey..that would definately be something to look forward to in the future..:hug:...

[Suze]

I think I am going to find round 2 voting harder than round 1. Round 1 was about getting peeps through, round 2 is who you wish to give points to and in what order now we know who has gone through. That's going to take a bit longer to work out.

[Suze]

You had better at least make the top ten Joey :D :love:

[Jesus.]

You had better at least make the top ten Joey :D :love:

You've said that to 11 people so far, Suze.

[joeysteele]

You had better at least make the top ten Joey :D :love:

Thank you but not a hope Suze, I actually somehow was even surprised to be through to the 50 this time, well 51 now.
Especially when my great friend on here Mockinator didn't,he should be there well ahead of me everytime.

I always though appreciate members supporting me, there are loads of great and decent people on tibb like your good self and having them vote for you is humbling.
However, top 10,(even top 20), I feel sure 100% is well beyond my reach ever.

[Suze]

You've said that to 11 people so far, Suze.

Oops! Better cross you off the that list then Jesus :D

[Marc]

Well done Marc

Doubt it, more like Jake or Niamh

[Marc]

I've updated the OP because I know how much Marc hates when I don't do that :laugh:

Round 2 will close at 6pm on Thursday 6th June; countdown will be on Friday 7th June beginning around 9pm!

You are a good soul

[Jake.]

Doubt it, more like Jake or Niamh

Wat?

[Marc]

Alex

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view4/1938517/breakdown-o.gif

[Marc]

Wat?

Who got 15 nominations. I assumed Zee was on about them

[Jake.]

Doubt I got 15 :laugh:

[Jesus.]

Oops! Better cross you off the that list then Jesus :D

Just you knowing my name is enough for me, Suze.

[thesheriff443]

Just you knowing my name is enough for me, Suze.

you are called by many names:hugesmile:

[Marc]

Doubt I got 15 :laugh:

Well it ain't me lol

[Jake.]

Well it ain't me lol

why not lol?

[Marc]

Because people won't have nominated me after I won last time

[Jake.]

Because people won't have nominated me after I won last time

Don't talk stupid

[Black Dagger]

It was clearly me :hmph:

[Niamh.]

Niamh I haven't counted your nomination but I will if you resend it and it's the first one in to change anything, otherwise it'd be unfair

Did you take mine? awww It's not fair that all these things are announced in the early hours of the mornings

[Jesus.]

Because people won't have nominated me after I won last time

I've never seen a man work so hard. I'm pretty sure that the 15 votes will be yours.

[Ammi]

...I'm really sorry to say this, Zee but I have to agree with Niamh...it's a little unfair that this was done so late at night/early hours and almost over by the morning..I had my list of 10 and some of my votes were for people I really hoped would be in the top 50...people that I feel are very underrated as members but I couldn't find my list and felt under pressure to rush my votes, so I have left someone off who I really would have liked to see there and my vote may have made the difference if I hadn't felt that pressure..for me, it's just put a slight shade over it, which I feel sad about because that isn't how it should be....

[lostalex]

OFGS, there's 51 people on that list for you to choose from. If someone couldn't even make it into a top 51 they didn't stand a chance in hell of making it through to the next round anyway.

It's perfectly fair, quit yur bitching.

I just wanted to vote :bawling: Having said that all 10 who I wanted in are in anyway :laugh:

[Niamh.]

Sent my Round 2's..........not taking any chances this time :laugh:

[Lee.]

And all your reasons Niamh?? God it normally takes me ages!

[Niamh.]

Yep, reasons and everything :love:

Wow Niamh. You're efficient :laugh:

Too late sucking up now Miss K, she said she's already sent them in.

Maybe Zee could devise a system where the number of nominations each member receives is multiplied by their post count, and then divided by the number of months they have been a member, thus giving a reflection of general contribution to the forum, and then in round two this can be used as a handicap system by which points are worth more or less accordingly, then after that you add each members previous positions in the top 50 - if there are any - together, and divide those by the number of previous competitions they have been a part of to ensure the overall result is also an indication of how each members has become more or less appreciated over time

That would be much fairer I think

Not sure this is far reaching enough, we should also add in the number of hours spent browsing TiBB, and times that by the number of log in over the 6 months divided by the age of the nominee.

Voted. I think my list is really solid, and I gave good reasons for everyone.

There are actually a lot of really great people on this forum.

This game would be a lot fairer if the people nominated couldn't vote though. Some people are going to vote strategically. Obviously they are not going to give 10 points to their biggest competition.


Not allowing the nominees to vote would be good :D:

[Black Dagger]

Why would you avoid voting for people you like because they are seen as a threat to place higher than you? :joker:

[Lee.]

I don't vote strategically.. I vote for the people I love the most :conf:

[Ramsay]

Nominated people not being able to vote would be bad, seeing as there isnt that many more than 51 active users at the minute anyway

[Cherie]

...I'm really sorry to say this, Zee but I have to agree with Niamh...it's a little unfair that this was done so late at night/early hours and almost over by the morning..I had my list of 10 and some of my votes were for people I really hoped would be in the top 50...people that I feel are very underrated as members but I couldn't find my list and felt under pressure to rush my votes, so I have left someone off who I really would have liked to see there and my vote may have made the difference if I hadn't felt that pressure..for me, it's just put a slight shade over it, which I feel sad about because that isn't how it should be....

In fairness to Zee he did announce that the list would be opened at midnight and as it was straight after Eurovision when lots of people were around it seemed a good a time as any, I could understand people feeling miffed if he opened it without any warning.

[AnnieK]

Too late sucking up now Miss K, she said she's already sent them in.

Oh yeah bugger....may I say, Jesus, that you are my favourite deity...

[Ramsay]

Plus, yeah its a competition but its also a showcase of people being able to say things about people they like. Its fine the way it is

I think there are more members around evening time later in the day also, hence why I think the votes went in quite quickly.

Boom!

I sorta do agree with this although I'm sure there's more than 51 active users, I'm sure there's a few

[joeysteele]

I don't know.
This has worked incredibly well with no changes for all the time I have seen it done on here by Zee,I think it is as fair and open as it can be.
I know the voting for noms opened at midnight sunday but for weeks we had been told this was the case and going to happen.

I was there at that time and clearly many others were too, I also doubt with great certainty too that Zee honestly expected so many members voting and so many different nominations to be done so quickly and decisively.
Although I do understand the frustrations of those who missed out and then had to vote in a rush.
I had to alter my list 3 times and then again just after midnight when Zee opened this up,I did though have my list ready in time for this opening,having prepared it virtually from Zee saying it would be starting on the 26th some 3 weeks ago.

So for me, Zee has this arranged as perfect as it can be with fairness.
It is annoying when games and things change,what I love with this is it has stayed intact even as to its format.

I don't agree that those nominated shouldn't vote, they will have nominated others to go through anyway and they cannot nominate themselves or even later vote for themselves in any case.
As has been said in posts since, those who have nominated have usually seen at least half of their list go through to the final round of 50 to choose from.
I would dare bet that all those who anyone nominated and got through would still get their votes from them in the final round,just needing to fill the spaces they have as to those of their nominations who didn't get through this time.

So for me this is one of the very best things on tibb, okay the nominations were over very quickly this time but that has not been the case with past most loved polls.
The only difference this time was the near 3 week build up which clearly fuelled interest to the point where some members were determined to get their nominations in at the very start.

I said earlier, perhaps the only change I would maybe like to see, while stressing I am happy to completely go with Zee and his planning and presentation of this, is that more nominations be needed to qualify for the final round,that would possibly slow things up a bit.

[Jesus.]

The only potential flaw I see, is the fact that not everyone gets to vote in rd1.

Say for example Joey wins it by one point, but Ammi and Niamh would have both nominated thetruth in round 1, who then finishes 2nd by a point, then is it really ML?

However, this has always been the case and everyone goes into it with their eyes open. Zee understands better than most, that you can only please all of the people for some of the time.

[Kizzy]

You know the rules around here, you snooze you lose baby! :D

[Niamh.]

Yeah, I know he did announce that, I'm just not a TiBB night Owl :(

[joeysteele]

Yeah, I know he did announce that, I'm just not a TiBB night Owl :(

This time that has been a problem I agree with you, it hasn't in past ML polls though.
I doubt we are likely to see the near 3 week build up next time like we had this time so it could be very different and take longer next time.

I am though sad for you that your nominations didn't get in on time and you are clearly disappointed.
Although at least I think you said, most or all your noms got through anyway so they will for sure be able to get your votes in the 2nd round.

[Kizzy]

It was silly that there was a 3 week build up and then it was all cut and dried in the wee small hours, bit of an anti-climax.
I forgot someone off my list too so seeing as late entries can be allowed I want to swop one of mine please.

[Roy Mars III]

All my points are up for grabs, pm me your offers.

[Lee.]

I don't think you're allowed to change you're nominations once you've sent them kizzy

Why not, votes were added late, there is 51 and not 50... Anything goes :D

It's actually kinda cruel. clearly the dog thinks the toy is real, and she seems genuinely upset by it.

Ive seen other cases on reddit of dogs that believe that a stuffed animal is a real animal that's dying, even they adopt it as their own child and try to nurse it back to life. and they actually get violent sometimes trying to protect it. It's very disturbing.

I know there's also documented cases of penguins that will find a rock and care for it as an egg. I remember a gay penguin couple doing that before. And it's so sad. Animals actually do have a very real respect for life.

Thats asking another question after Kizzy invited you to pm her to discuss it and thats the best way tbh rather than doing it in this thread.


It's nothing against you personally, just sick to death of all this same stuff being brought up and causing arguments on the forum constantly.
