Was the Halloween Contest REALLY Fair?

Wow, I haven't written for a while! I was at the Halloween Party, and I thought it was awesome!

*Now I don't want to offend anyone with this article, but...* One problem: Was the Halloween "costume" contest a popularity contest or a costume contest?

I admit, I did say to people, "I'll vote for you if you vote for me!" Truth is, I wasn't the only one. Many people, basically all of the people, were saying that. On the one hand, I do think googles and tight should have won, and they deserved the win. I didn't see Dollygirl's costume, but it was probably awesome. But on the other hand, I also saw some other awesome costumes that I thought should have won.

Citizens shouldn't be pushed to vote for someone just because that person says they would vote for them! I think more citizens should have voted ONLY for the costumes they liked, and not because they would get votes for themselves. It isn't fair. People shouldn't be stressed to do something just because other people will vote for them, or because everyone else is doing it.

Next time we have voting, please, can people just STOP ASKING PEOPLE FOR VOTES?!?!? THAT is what makes contests unfair!

We will probably have more contests, but please don't ask people to vote for you. Thank You.
