Ok, in that case what was it about the vote for Eomer that made you so suspicious? Or at least, what did people claim made it suspicious?
And what did you mean by you were careless? Meant to ask that earlier.

The vote for Eomer was the first vote of the day, and it looked like a safe vote, hopping on an easily-visible future bandwaggon. It was already obvious that he'd be a big vote-earner, and so my vote looked like just a safe vote. It was honestly made out of suspicion for him, but given that I had so far voted for every bandwaggon that came along: Loki, Nogrod, and now Eomer, it looked bad. I knew it looked bad when I first made it.
Someone suggested that I just shouldn't have voted if I could only get on so early in the day...And my response to that is, it was a lose-lose situation. I knew my vote looked bad when I made it...and I had contemplated not voting at all, but after weighing the two, I decided that both would earn me about the same amount of suspicion.
The carelessness? Well, I feel like I haven't been performing up to the standard of my ancestors. It's actually a word I lifted from someone else's post, I think Morm's. Perhaps he knows better than I do. Honestly, I've just made some dumb choices--apologizing, that vote for Eomer, etc. I also haven't posted as frequently as others have.

I'm going to vanish for a while in about 15 minutes...just as a heads-up. I'll be back later, though, so if anyone wants/needs to know anything else from me, feel free to ask.
