I know all 'righteous' fannationers vote for the individual whom supplies the best arguement. I do think that a good arguement is critical to the success of your TD record. However, I think that one should vote their opinion regardless of how good the oppositions arguement is. For example... If the TD title was up versus down and my opinion was up why would I vote for down if they have a better arguement? I would be voting against what I perceive to be true. So I ask you FanNation - do you vote your beleif or do you vote for the best arguement? I say vote your mind regardless of how good your challangers arguement is!


Vote for the right argument. For example, if someone said "Ohio State will win the NC", and forfeited all of their turns, my vote goes to the other guy.

I love Ohio State to death, but if you don't back it up, and don't make any arguments, then you don't get the vote. But that's just me.


I never said to vote for someone who does not make any arguements at all. I just think that peope should vote for Ohio State to win the NC if that is the topic and they think that its true. Just because someone makes a better arguement than you should not change the facts or your personal beleifs or opinions.

Well, it kind of sucks when you prove a great point and people just say: "Oh, I will vote for this guy, because I think he is better"

So I say look at the arguments, if you are convinced, then vote for the argument, if you aren't then don't feel you are convinced, and vote for whoever you want.

That is what I do.

I find that I already know what the person is going to say in so many cases that I just go with my opinion, unless it's on a topic I know nothing about, like College Football.

Wait, if we agreed to a draw, why does it say he's the winner?

Read the argument - why the frell would I do that? Vote to Esco, because I grew up in Ohio.

I actually made an abvious goof TD where I contradicted myself in argument 1, copied everyone else's comments to form argument 2, and spewed garbage in argument 3. Only about 1/3 of the people ever caught on. 1 guy at the end even lashed out at me for being upset I lost!
