Shadow's Campaign - Don't stop believin'.

Hey guys. I haven't made a topic until now for a few reasons. For the contest in 2008 I decided I wouldn't campaign at all, and wouldn't ask for a single vote from anyone in any of my matches. Campaigning against people and vote begging can lead to all sorts of grudges and nastiness, and the contest itself is kinda mean. 127 people lose, and they usually remember who to, so if you didn't campaign against them, they have less reason to think badly about you at all.

Anyways, I got boned by campaigning against me in 08, and I decided I didn't want the same thing to happen this year. So I had all sorts of ideas for cool campaigns this year, but then I stopped myself because nobody I faced was campaigning against me at all. Joe (great guy who has got stuck with MJ a few times and me this time around) didn't campaign, Harvey didn't, Pierre (of Final Fantasy awesome insanity), and Karel (everyone should always vote for this guy). All of these guys just let the dice fall where they might, and there was no way I was going to campaign against them.

So I was sort of hoping, like in 2008, to go the whole tourney with my sole campaign just being who I am, and the different stuff I've done over the years. Cooper is campaigning against me though, and I respect him, so I decided to get off my ass and do something about it. Me staying silent might give people the impression that I don't care. I do, and I really do appreciate the support that's got me this far. If I lose to Cooper, or to Etch if I'm lucky to get that far, at least I know I'll have given it a shot this year!

Anyway, enough blabbing from me. Smiley

I'm not going to ask anyone to vote for me, or promise x,y,z, as you guys know that I've delivered stuff randomly before the contest (like sig stats, crazy mkwii pictures or the entire mk64 site...lol), and I'll be delivering new stuff long after the contest is over. So I thought I'd make a fun video instead, and I hope you guys like it.

This isn't intended to sway your votes from cooper. He's a cool guy, and deserves a lot of respect. But hopefully this will show a little of my appreciation for anyone who is voting for me.

I've gotta say, having met Lacey at Sami's last year he's probably one of the nicest guys i've met so he's got my vote.

Seriously epic vid!

Vote Lacey

Very tough decision for me in this final round as both are great guys. I voted for you William because the very first guide I had to learning the advanced strategies of Mario Kart 64 in this community was written by you. Between your guide and Finn's explanations and videos, the fun and challenge of MK64 reached a whole new level and allowed me to devote endless hours to PRing.

And as the equation goes, I had more women simultaneously in my life during my mk days than I ever have at any other point in my life. I remember balancing my time between PRing and three girlfriends (who oddly enough knew about each other and I was completely honest about everything with. Well...almost) which also had the fortunate bonus of a few threesomes (never got all of them to sleep with me at once =/). Where I found the time or the patience for all of that I have no clue, but it wouldnt have been possible without your guide. Thanks William and good luck!

It is clear that I seek out others

To discuss impossible riddles of the infinite

As these discussions are a welcomed entanglement

In the web of illusions that I create with my own perception
