Same here. People I know are going there. On top of that, I voted for Lindblum before the results were unmasked and made viewable to the public here. My vote didn't change and wouldn't have changed if I'd known who voted for what either way.
So much of this just seems to be fearmongering going on. I'm very sorry if I cause offense to anyone, but like I said some pages back, this all seemed to start on account of Lindblum, Figaro, and one other server suddenly going down. People were running around, coming to conclusions, saying it had to be because it was popular. It had to be because the servers got filled too much, or too fast.
And then within 45 minutes ... oh, there is the server! And what's more, from all the accounts I've seen in this thread, and other threads, it's not even the most populace one. 2 chocobos compared to others with 3.
I sort of feel like this whole thing has taken a life of its own. The only thing I would've done differently was continue to keep votes hidden until the very end. But hindsight is 20/20. I can only presume Cas was trying to be the benevolent and friendly ruler by unmasking the results so early on, with people clamoring for it.
That and, hell, he as well as many others thought the voter turnout was huge by halfway down the first page of posts! Back when we had ... what? 60? 70 votes in all? No one could have envisioned over 40% of the site to vote. It's great and all, but again, very unexpected.
Anyway, rant over.
