But Chris did take the offer by his actions. 1. He accepted the nomination from
Sean, while knowing that Sean had many voting accounts setup. 2. Chris did not
notify CCC that the member that nominated him had many voting accounts. This
alone in the real world would be voter fraud by Chris. It would not matter if
Chris conspired with Sean or Chris was passive with just the knowledge alone
that Sean was up to rigging the election, because the results would have been
the same. Chris was taking advantage of the situation in either case. It will be
a sad day if either one of these people are let back into CCC.
