A vote on VOTE_BOT

CassandraW · Aug 13, 2015

As some of you may have noticed, an egg-shaped bot has been scuttling through the forums demanding that everyone vote in AW's poetry contest (entries here, reading period is going on now, voting starts on August 20th and ends September 2nd) . Since VOTE_BOT been so very persistent and omnipresent this last couple of days, I thought a vote was in order to determine AW's opinion of it.

If Kyla will give me two freaking minutes to get the damn poll up already, let's have a damn poll, shall we?

Stop trying to influence the voting.

VOTE_BOT is cute! *My poem is #43. Influence away, li'l bot!*

William Haskins · Aug 13, 2015

There are 26 poems entered in the contest. Therefore, you cannot be the poet who wrote #43.

Please discontinue your deceit in this forum, lest your pants burst into flames.

CassandraW · Aug 13, 2015

damn. I had intended to make this a public poll.

on the plus side, perhaps more AWers will feel comfortable about admitting their true feelings about VOTE_BOT.

Cease your vicious bullying at once, sir. You are derailing this important thread.

It was a late entry.

Once the contest is over, do we get to launch VOTE_BOT into a far orbit? I hear Pluto is lonely.

CassandraW · Aug 13, 2015

No. I get to keep him.

Diana Hignutt · Aug 13, 2015

Down with VoteBot! It's just the vanguard of the invasion. Soon, all AW will be crawling with bots...and then...whammo...it's all Matrix and Terminator combined...and all the memes in the world won't save us.

Weren't you looking to travel this autumn anyway? You could go with him. I hear Pluto is very interesting this time of year.

Well, yeah, sure, but can we keep him and have some fun for a little while first? What's one li'l bot among so many?

Whither he goest, I shall go. Or vice versa. Either way.

I shall report back on his battery life.

Cheater. You changed your original post.

CassandraW · Aug 13, 2015

I wasn't so much cheating as trying to find fulfillment. My original post just wasn't enough.

Kylabelle · Aug 13, 2015

soft boiled.

Kylabelle · Aug 13, 2015

Wasn't that the question? How you want your eggs?

CassandraW · Aug 13, 2015

No. The question is whether VOTE_BOT is a sexy satanic beast or a sad little mechanical weeble. Or, alternatively, Vince.

A bot is not a beast. A beast has fleshy bits.

I am using the third definition in Webster's:

something formidably difficult to control or deal with

Kylabelle · Aug 13, 2015

It looks like an egg trying to have a personality.
