Not because I think it looks better, but because I'm changing my voting behaviour. I will now just vote what I think your submission is worth. Not a five because I like who you are. Not a 0 because I don't like who you are. (which I wouldn't do anyway, that's idiotic.)

From now on, I'm just voting honest. And I'm sorry if that's not a five. I'm just sick of people begging for fives. So next time you do, think twice, because I vote what *I* think it's worth, not what you think.

I'll make an exception for this when I think the score is horribly low when it's actually a good submission. Questions?

note: I mainly vote on audio

EDIT: changed the aura itself back to light, because people recognize me easier on the forums that way. My voting behaviour stays changed though.

I also like to vote truthfully on submissions, but I have a light aura because I think it looks best with my weapon. I have never judged somebody by their aura, it's mostly for display the way I see it.

Yeah, I just changed it for the voting disposition thing. But if you refresh, you'll see my edit I just did. :p

Thanks for the aura updates, I was really on the edge of my seat anticipating how you would decide.

Please keep us posted when you take a shit.

Lol, maybe I shouldn't have frontpaged it then.
I just don't change my aura every now and then, and there are always tons of people asking me for 5s on msn, so it's just easy to link 'em here.

Like Mindchamber, I too would like a subscription to your newsletter.

Fickle?

i've always voted this way. it's how I ended up with the aura, 'cause back in the day it was decided by the system, as I recall.

Jun. 17, 2009 | 2:13 PM Mich responds:

Ah nice :p
Well compared to you I'm still a total newb :p

Jun. 18, 2009 | 12:54 PM xKore says:

I just vote 0 all the time.

Jun. 18, 2009 | 1:53 PM Mich responds:

Ah cool. I don't. Lol. You fail at lying ^^

Jun. 18, 2009 | 2:17 PM lcmy says:

I can't find in the faq what that aura's mean. I only found something that said it involves your voting behavior, but what do they mean with it?

Jun. 18, 2009 | 2:18 PM Mich responds:

Well probably something like... evil = would rather vote low; light = would rather vot high; neutral: would rather vote... somewhere in between those two. Just how hard you judge submissions I think.

You're so original. ^^

The responses to this are fucking glorious. I never really liked mindchamber much because for such a high up he acts like a complete fucking child, but damn... that little bit about you taking a shit has me turned on. I need more... please subscribe me as well? I need more shit...

Jun. 19, 2009 | 3:26 PM Mich responds:

I don't really know Mindchamber, but I agree a bit that it seemed a bit silly to make a newspost about that; as he has no idea that I never thought of changing my aura.

Follow my twitter. Though I can't promise I'll update about my shit-taking, sorry.

Jun. 19, 2009 | 5:14 PM Quarl says:

Damn. In the words of Marc M. "I'm hungry for shit." I was really hoping you'd reference that. Oh well.

I always thought mindchamber's activity patterns were kind of common knowledge. He's right up there next to Tom Fulp, and can be really helpful when you need him, but he takes to e-aggression like a twelve year old on 4chan. Half the stuff he says is waaaaayyyy below him. If anything, I'd be flattered that someone took so much consideration towards voting on a site I helped create. I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite for flaming the flamer, but I would be lying if I didn't at least admit to getting a comment like that or two from that guy :/

Jun. 19, 2009 | 8:30 PM Mich responds:

Nope, no idea where it's from; that line. :p

And well... People will be people...

Welp, if your at all interested in that animator, see him here: http://www.sickanimation.com/

The cartoon I'm talking about is called "The Red Diamond Dragon Club." He focuses most of his cartoons around shock humor, but be warned he's rrrrreeeeaaaaaallllyyy good at it. Not all of his cartoons are shocking, but a majority of them are like that... if you want a clean cartoon go for murshaq. Tom Fulp loves that guy.

And as for people... yep. They will be.

I'll check it out later when I get some time =)

Ah! The long awaited "aura update". I've been anticipating this post ever since i first heard your music, that you state as "too good" for ng.

Please let me be the first to receive an update on your poo status when your head finally becomes dislodged from the deep crevice that is your ass, cheers buddy.

Wtf does your bf think he's a girl? lol wat, congrats on coming out though man, i know it's difficult telling your parents etc.

Loves! :)

I wonder where you would ever have heard that mt music would be too good for NG.
Thanks for taking your precious time to comment on ym newspost, as I know you probably a lot better things to do in that great fullfilling life of yours. I won't disturb you any longer. Have a nice day!
