I am definitely not agains nethign u did. It is a fun thing yes but then you cant have ur cake and eat it too right? U do something "  unethical  "
and then try to sound ethical :-|
Not done  oketoungeb:
Waise bhi not serious. I am just trying to create some political mileage and garner votes. No offence meant.

I'd have to agree with this. Next time i'd suggest a campaigning thread for selected candidates for a period of one week or so. (Like the nomination phase) . This should be followed up by a vote poll thread which is locked except for the polls for another period of 5 days.
And contestants, I'm sorry i wasn't selected to give you guys a run for you money, but i am looking at the campaigning with interest. Word of advice : Stop with infighting amongst yourselves and concentrate on convincing the rest of the people as to why you are THE COOLEST !!
You have 9 days left , surprise us

AHEM AHEM AHEM... Well that was necessary after the brief interrruption.
Puys You have witnessed the launch of the Pagaldom Pug Party and unveiling of its mascot. Now PPP is pleased to announce its very own theme song and video by none other than PAT and STAN. ENJOY!!!!
All those who want to join my party say GO PUG GO!!!!!! And all those who wish to accuse me of plagiarism can do so.
The main aim of my campaign is to entertain. If puys are entertained by copied videos then it is better than some boring original videos.

Instead, this has turned out to be a slugfest b/w two gangs… errrr, two rivals…:-|
Two rivals eh?
Finally, no offence meant to anyone. If you still don’t like what I’ve written, feel free to groan.

Ah, finally a post that tries to bring out the true meaning of this contest
Way to go soham!
I must say I expected the people to vote for the coolest avatar and not just the most popular user that people know of. Seriously people, we are supposed to be voting for the coolest avatar based on the campaigning that we see and then decide which is the coolest
one :new_multi:
So far i see kill_the_cat, diablorulez and the egonomist make a real effort at campaigning and the rest , well, buck up guys. My vote is still up for grabs :baaa:. And puys , look at the campaigning and then decide your vote rather than casting your vote based on a pre-conceived notion!
Please dont allow it to become a rivalry between just two people based on completely different parameters. One is getting a popularity vote and the other one who hasnt campaigned at all is getting 'proxy' votes (if i may say that). :sarcasm:
No offence meant to anyone and I am saying that as a pg user I expect a contest!!!!!!!!
My vote is up for grabs to anyone who can impress me with the campaigning (if my vote really makes a diff, which I doubt given the present scenario)
And lastly, dont take any of this personally guys, just expressing my concerns as a member of this madness!
My CAT journey
All that glitters is not gold, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost;
From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be King.

CEC says - Bribes,networking, deals nuder the shade...sab jayaaz hai!  Thats what it is all about
If anyone has problems with anyone's style of campaigning, please PM me or nikhilkulk. We will look into the matter and try to explore more opportunities for us to take bribes
I can see more fun when coalitions happen.Creativity is not just about using web design tools and putting them up here.It is also about convincing others, why the junta should vote for you and in turn campaign for you. By whatever means .
Scare the leaders with your campaigning and trust me, by the end of this contest, the most in demand people will be the contestants who have less votes ( pssst..remember the POWER which can be wielded by independent candidates  ).
Cheers,
Rohit

For those who are still to make up their minds about voting and are looking for the COOLEST Avatar in the true sense here is an oppurtunity to make up their minds. PUG got a few cousins to dress up as the competitors to show that PUG PARTY is better than the original avatars. VOTE FOR THE PUG.... The most original and brilliant mascot.....
What dabloo can do, Doggies can do better.... 
If Dogs were humans, calvin would be put to shame.
If they were tigers, Hobes would be proud....
One of the pug's supporters doing a spoof on the HULK.... while the one below is mimicking the infant avatar in this contest....
And last but not the least, a supporter shows that doggies make better caricature than humans...
And finally after getting motivated, PUG himself got this pic clicked for this particular photo session.
so puys vote for the PUG PARTY and say GO PUG GO....

Puys, Puys!! I came back from a BIIIIG inter-city PG meet held in a place called Yelagiri in down south of India and saw that there were only 7 days for the campaigning to end and for Papa Einstein’s stay to come to an end. No, not my stay in PG , that will be for eternity:smile:. No not my stay in India either:wink:, hope you remember I still have that Allwinvitation for the AIPGM in May .Hmm..Yes, I am speaking about my stay in this madness, in these moments of insanity and cut-throat competition called the Coolest Avatar Contest .
Seeing the difference oops…, (that’s too less a word I guess ), the gulf between the current leading contestants and me, I thought of taking a break and chill off my remaining days of stay somewhere else. But wait!:eh: Why should stop? Yes, I agree. It might be very difficult and even a futile attempt to try and garner nearly ten times my number of votes and wins this contest:smile:. But there is a bigger picture than this right?.
If Einstein’s stay in PG and his stories of fun experiences makes a handful of puys, yes even a handful enjoy, then there can’t be a bigger satisfaction for myself to enjoy or a greater reason for me to continue posting here throughout my stay:smile:.
Before signing off for today, here is three more of Einstein’s Gyaan to not disappoint my cat-belling puys who might have been waiting for them .
2.14 After reading the gyaan on belling the cat that I had posted in my previous posts, I got numerous Private Messages:wink:. Asking what? For more of Einsteinian insights on the question patterns of a cat papers . So I have given one example for practice. Don worry, it is not taken from any previous actual/mock papers .
Statement 1: Who among the following is the coolest of avatars oketoungeb
A. E=mc^2
B. Einstein
C. E=sqrt(mc)2
D. Albert
E. arunk8186
Yes, I know it might be a little, yes a little confusing. From what I have been able to gather, these types of questions are the trickiest guys. Normal sane thinking doesn’t help sometimes. Think different oketoungeb:. Think insanity . For some hints, read the next gyaan tip:wink:.
2.15 As I always say, “The very purpose of education is to train the mind to think” . So I won’t give you the solutions as they normally do in coaching institutes. I have given below some hints and initial steps. Hope you all easily understand it and proceed from there to solve the problem . After all, we are all insanely different right?. For any doubts, papa Einstein is just a PM away .
2.16 Some puys had asked me for clarifications during the meets on the simultaneity of speed and accuracy research paper that I had posted previously . Puys, accuracy in CAT is like binary logic. Either it is “0” or “1”. There are no intermediate values. Either you know it or don't know it. So depending on your predicted accuracy for a particular question, given below is the optimum speed limit with which you should go on solving questions in the cat paper Always rememeber, even change is constant:satisfie:.
OFF THE RECORD PUYS,
JUST WANTED TO REQUEST MY DEAR FELLOW NOMINEES AND FIGHT..err..PAGAL CLUB MEMBERS  .
Never ever give up guys!.
"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or when the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotion and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst fails, atleast fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat" - Roosevelt.
Papa Einstein wants insanity and fun to flow out from each and every contestants . It might be an age old cliche but a very very true one friends, "Participation is all the more important than winning". All the best to all .
PS: Apologies for anyone who might feel the above "off the record" was not necessary. Thanks again.
Do not tell others how to do things;
Just tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity:smile:.

And that's not just it. This is a way to increase the interaction amongst the puys. To get to know other people you'd never have got to know had you stuck to the good ole' prep resources & exam sections. Take it in the right spirit bro.
And on the other hand, if you *have* already taken it in the right spirit, does this post smacks of proxy campaigning for diablo by any chance?

Sour grapes....
probably yes!!!!
i totally agree that this is a good platform to increase interaction amongst puys.....
if you have seen one of my posts during campagning....
i had acknowledged the fact that i made a lot many new friends here....
any ways...
i dont want to drag the matter any more....
so would not argue.....
i just wrote what i had in mind...
and as you rightly pointed out it just might have been frustration which came out........
kill buddy...
i i have no idea of whats going outside.....
as i am not a regular on SB....
i wants to say that till now you two are the one who have done best campagning according to me...
and i had a tough time deciding whom amongst you two should i vote for....
also i am going out of station 4 a week and hence am not sure whether or not i would have access to net so had to put my vote now....
sorry if i have hurt any one......
