I understand what you are saying and really you are correct about some of it.
This years contest is set up differently enough that you really had to be sure what category you wanted to go for before it started rolling. Because my fans, and everyone else's fans for that matter, could only vote for a girl in just ONE category it really changed things a lot. I knew I had absolutely no chance of winning the Main Miss freeones, so I was urging anyone voting for me to only vote for me in the OCSM.... which is the ONLY category I qualify for because I rarely do webcams, so no Cam girl, I do have B/G sex on video so no Adult Model, I don't think I qualify for MILF yet, and my ranking was too high for Underrated. With all that said, Briana knew she had the best chance at Cam girl, she's won it before and she certainly wouldn't want her fans dividing up their support to other categories and costing her that one. Miss Hybrid is very driven this year to get the Miss Freeones title, which she so deserves, and even though she could easily win OCSM she thought to focus on the main category, and give someone else like Me, or Sabrina Deep, or whoever else may win OCSM, a chance. I'm hoping you weren't referring to me when you used the "Leftover" comment, I think if you look at my number of posts or visit my thread you'd find that I post a significant amount of content and am a value to the board just like so many others you discredit by saying that. The strategy you see here was kind of forced upon us all if we wanted to compete for anything, and I think all of these ladies are driven entrepreneurs who will do what it takes to succeed.
Johan...thank you so much for that! People like you really make coming to the board to interact a pleasure and your statement made me proud of what I do here
Again...I just want to thank all of you who continue to support me and vote everyday, it means so much!
Thanks for the kind words Mandy.
I chose to step aside to make room and it was the right decision. It was ridiculous to tie OCSM up any longer, much as a hattrick would have been egotistically, nice, it was unfair.
To win Miss Freeones was always going to be a huge task, maybe impossible. How, as a solo site can you take on the industry giants and the networks, with zillions of followers? This is how it is done; 1st off you find yourself a loyal team, or do they find you, I never quite worked that one out?
Then you set about doing something different, bringing new things all the time, interacting with the members, to try and keep it interesting for both. It is give and take, I am not talking about telling them in 7 different threads... when your next can show is ...
I was very lucky, 5 yrs ago I was picked up. I was taken from last place here, get it, last place, to where I am now. This started when a few members got together and decided to support me, it was pathetic, I was a mocked, wasted vote, but I did bring something new. This was not done in a minute, hour, day or week it was built upon , year after year, but it was no accident.
When Miss FO first started I believe all votes were equal weight. If that were the case now in all categories save OCSM, which is protected, all of us board girls would be blown out of the water. We were thrown a bone, with the introduction of the weighted vote. This year board girls have had a chance to dominate the categories. Last yr with a 5 times weighting I made 5th, this yr with a 16x weighting I am in contention, well almost.
I am disappointed with the efforts so far, except for a very few, it is basically sit there and get carried, knowing you have a massive weighted advantage. I can see why some people are getting rather pissed off. It is all too easy for the board girls they need to get involved.
I expect to see some fire and determination from the board girls, to pay something back to the members who are supporting them, make it interesting.
Say what you want but I think the OCSM performance in general this year has been lackluster, at best.
Lets make this a Miss FreeOnes to remember, for all the right reasons. I am giving it everything, are you?
Regards
Miss Hybrid
This was in a reply to Mandys post and not at Mandy. I must stress that my last sentence was aimed at every ocsm who is sat on their arse.
