New Blog Showcase
I already voted for the New Weblog Showcase at TTLB, but it isn't showing up that I voted. It's either the Alliance's fault or maybe doing it while I talked like a pirate confused the works.
Therefore, I will vote for Daniel again...and remind Axis members to get to voting! You Alliance members can just ignore that last bit.
By the way, isn't it cheating to REQUIRE the Alliance members to vote or be expelled from the Alliance? There are an awful lot of rules to be part of the Alliance...seems to kill the whole "BlogWarring is fun" spirit of competition.
But hey, what do I know? I'm just a member of the Axis of Naughty...the team who has fewer members but more links.

Posted by: Daniel at September 21, 2003 08:34 AMDaniel, click on the "technology" link in the post below this one...it'll give you instructions. Let me know if you need help. It just goes in the main template where Kevin writes to replace the information.
Posted by: Jennifer at September 21, 2003 09:34 AMOf COURSE it's cheating! Or at least it *would* be if there were some set of rules regarding how to conduct a Blog War.
One point, though. If you read the Duties, Responsibilities & Rewards page carefully, you'll notice that it doesn't say anything about being kicked out for non-compliance. It says you "must" do this and you "must" do that, but there's no "or else".
If you don't vote, the current traditional punishment is that Romulus throws a guilt trip in your direction.

Actually, Harvey, there is a post called "Housekeeping" where Susie tells non-compliant bloggers they will be trimmed like dead wood.
Seems like a clear "or else" to me.
Posted by: Jennifer at September 21, 2003 01:58 PMFar too many requirements....it's a reason I abandoned ship and became a Neutral.
Oh, and by the way.....they are in frequent and flagrant violation of the BlogWar Geneva Convention. I should know.
Already war criminals, AND they have a lot of rules......it's neither a fun, nor a honorable association, is it?
Still, it's worth reading, so.....
Posted by: Jon Henke at September 21, 2003 03:25 PMJon, as the writer of the BlogWar Geneva Convention rules, you of all people would certainly know they are in violation.
And I like to go over to the Alliance page and make fun of them in the comments. They barely notice, but I will continue.
