[MoB] The Crystal N award
ElGorro
Welcome everyone to a new kind of awardshow. Tonight we will be looking for the most neutral and visionless political party and politican. We studied all documented votes of the last half year and had a look on the casted neutral votes. These votes mean they really don't care what will be decided in the specific vote.
And now time for the winners of the first edition of the Crystal N awar

Comments
I didn't even make top-5? I have to try harder next time... 🙁
Only 8% neutral. You have an opinion, it seems!
How am I not in TOP5 - I had to vote "Neutral" in majority of CoC elections due to me running in them. 😂
Only 23% of your votes. Exactly the same avarage as your party!
So I fulfill the quota!
Note: neutral votes can be useful if you are really ambivalent with regards to a certain topic. I typically use it if I feel that the proposal has downsides that are of similar importance to the advantages.
Another reason to use it, is if you feel like it is too much of a personal decision, for example if a proposal directly affects you or your friends and you cannot make an impartial decision. For example, you are RL Finnish and we are voting about eFinland.
Also, it can be used if a topic is so complex that you cannot oversee the consequences, and you prefer to leave the decision up to the others.
All in all, I definitely want to defend the right to vote neutral. It is definitely not necessarily a bad thing which means you don't care about anything. And it definitely is a lot better than not showing up to vote...
The article is stating true facts but in satiric context.
I am most certain that the number of neutral votes in my case are totally rigged. So I am gonna eSue you and get that 1000cc as compensation for this clearly sarcastic attack agains me 😃 or you just hand me out a nice Y trophy and we will forget about this incident.
It tilts outcomes to the most fervent opponents / supporters and is therefore not a honest representation of the people's vote in a small Congress. E.g. Janty F's recent Monetary Policies, only failing because his own party DemNL votes neutral (which I can understand, considering the dry subject) while others don't really care either but will just vote 'no'.
Perhaps we can look forward to an article regarding whose law proposals receive the most neutral votes? 😃
I vote neutral when I either do not care or didn't have time to read it and think about it. Which is often apparently lol
Also useful if you don't see how either the status quo or the proposed change really makes one damn bit of difference to anything. And I agree, a neutral vote at least says you considered the 'issue.' (last word used with moderate sarcasm) 🙂
The government rewards your continued research onto the topic of neutrality. Maybe one day, we will all end up Neutral!
You have received the neutral ''Community Media Project'' prize of 1 000 currency for your neutral article - and if your article will be one of the most neutral in the entire presidential term, you can expect another neutral reward.
Five of us should move to Switzerland
Wait what I have won an award????? 😃
Ummmmm the last 6 months I have been elected in congress 2 times. I have voted few times neutral because of the very confusing legal stuff and dont wanted to say yes or no to an internal NL thing I didnt understand.
But I will thank you for choosing me on this really good looking award 😃 .
@ElGorro: Maybe add the number of votes to the individuals as well? It would show more easily if there definitely is a pattern with certain CMs, or whether it is based on limited statistics due to a specific CM being only elected for 1 or 2 terms.
Good idea, I will do that later on today
done
I am not giving back that award! On the other side since I am the most neutral politician, does that mean I am the hardest to be bribed? Also very annoyed that the trophy is not visible with my other trophies grrrrr.
From now on I will use that as a paper weight on all the proposals and paper work that I have voted NO on. Now I demand to receive a Y award as well! What the Y would stand for, no idea.

Successfully transferred 1 item(s) to nutty fox.
That is not the trophy!
Hmm. Top 3 eh? Your king is pleased.
Kings should be as neutral as they can be. You need to do a better job. 😉
