bloodpack: Here's the answers to your questions...

first, Tidus' topic is NOT an official xvssf topic. It's the same as viper2040's topics about "idea for ending game budget problems" or "want to donate but can't use paypal" topics... they're not official because they wern't started by mods/admins. You're right, the only true "official" topics can be started by TMyApp and mods. Upon special request of a mod/admin, other topics can be assumed to be "official" (ex: If I for some reason asked Tidus2k2 to make that topic, it'd be official). What I believe Tidus was implying was that it's the "official vote topic" for great players (since it's been done to death, and this is ONLY for his special "project").

second, You'll find out in due time what they "get".

third, no actually. Getting praise and glory because you're a great player (and occasionally because you combine a pretty good fighter with a great connection) means that you've worked your ass off for it. Try looking through the archived topscores one day... you'll notice that TarkanX and Nferno666 each have OVER 5000 wins, with almost a 1:20 win/loss ratio. That kind of excellence deserves to be acknowledged in some place other then just a topscores (thus, Tidus' "project" that you'll find out more about as time progresses).

I'm still not sure why he chose to get votes... I would of just looked at the past top scores and checked to see who had 1000+ wins then investigated further on their histories to make sure they wern't infamous for #### killing (like McBeth/Omnislasher).

Anyways, do I make myself clear here? His topic stays pinned... and your post was edited because I don't want ##### posting their "top lists" here.
