You did kinda cheat. I'm ok with supporting you as your cheating was within the rules, but gloating about how you beat people who played fair seems a bit OTT.

So it's cheating when someone tells you who to vote for? I don't see that as cheating, it's just lobbying and it happens in the world all the time.

Meh, I'm just being a sore loser, but it does seem like you missed the spirit of the thing by using computer programmes to generate your answers,

Read the first post again... Dukasaur included that as well:

Don't spam. Nowadays there are online anagram generators that will give you thousands of (mostly gibberish) anagrams. It's not our job to sift through your list of 8000 word strings and find a gem. It's your job to find the gem, and submit only that.

So cheating it is not.

Like I said, it's cheating within the rules. Can't blame me for being a bit annoyed when I did it the hard way and you're gloating. Either way- you won, dakky21*

I didn't because Mitt started her own campaign.

In truth, as a group I think Sym's top three entries were the best. I would have been happy with any of the three.

Looks like he'll only win fourth prize, but that's just democracy in action.

Which in turn gave me a thought for the next event, but we will speak after this one ends... (a REAL popularity contest...)

Well it's not as if the name could get worse.
