Anyone ever notice that when you battle a Yellow Mustang, you normally get slaughtered. Its not just any Yellow Mustang though, it's a Yellow Mustang Club member. Now, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against them as a club, what eats my ass is the vote tactics. Yes I have been known to ask for votes when signing someones guestbook, but at least they were online when I did it. Ok, heres the scenerio: you challenge or get challenged by a YMR member you are doing good, even in the lead once or twice, then Bamm, you look at the members online and to your amazement 15 to 20 people have just logged on. You think, wow, good day for GotStang. Then you go back to your Faceoff battle and see, also to your amasement that you have just gone 20 points behind. You are thinking, sunspots? No. Tsunami? No. Glitch in the Matrix, not even.
Then it hits you, Someone has used the telephone to call some buddies to sign on and drop votes. Illegal, nah. Violates the Geneva Convention, nope. Poor sportsmanship, DINGDINGDINGDINGDING.
I go to the Forums today and see a member of YMR stating how he didnt know that he had been challenged, at work, servers were down and that he didnt get to vote, getting beat by one vote, yada yada yada. And how he wanted it redone a rematch or whatever. Hell me server was down too. if you ask me, that was a fair battle and should have stood. So, what it boils down too, this YMR member in question was upset because he didnt get to place any, what i like to call "vote calls", to his buddies that were not online. Below is a transcript of a conversation in reference this situation.

Sooooo, I'm going for a 24 hour rematch.
Thanks J, I was wondering why it ended so quickly. I thought there should have been more time remaining. Anyways, with the first one still going, there is no need for the second face-off (#777). We'll just let the first face-off,#774, decide it. Thanks for clarifying that for me, and for fixing the problem.

Private: Yeah, I woke up a few buds in the YMR and told them to get their butts over here to vote. They were slacking off today, I guess. For what it's worth, I've got your back in any other face-off, so long as you aren't going against me. Ryan PS - what happened to the close-up avatar I made you?

I didn't put anything in anyone's guestbook asking for votes. I sent a few IMs to personal friends of mine and asked them to stop in and vote if they had time. There's nothing wrong with doing that.

dude, i think that calling up peeps was low, especially on a rematch or whatever it was. I didnt even rev guestbooks for votes today. As a matter of fact, i ask them to vote on the sweet stangs. Not just on mine.

Do what you want to do. I don't mind.

In Closing:
Be careful when going into a face off with a Yellow Stang.
Battles, no matter what the outcome because of interuption, power outage or rapture, should stand. If and auto rematch is gonna be done, then both parties should agree to the rematch. Take a look at the wins and loses by Yellow stangs, also notice the spreads. NOTE: When I ask the admin about this, he blocked me from seeing that he was online and did not respond. How do I know this, because about 6 other peeps tells me that "no, the admin is online, cause he is showing up on my list". hmmmmmmmmm Maybe what they say is true.
