2010 POSER OF THE YEAR: The Official Thread

The Rube

Retired Due To User Interface
Yes folks, it's just about that time! The annual Poser Of The Year Contest! The candidates are being grouped as we speak, and the opportunity to vote for PoTY will be available later this week.

This thread is for any general discussion or questions about the contest.

Past winners include CommAvHusky (founder of said contest, no less), nate91b, dropthatpuck (only repeat winner in PoTY history), Jon, and Brenthoven.

Let's get the basics out of the way, shall we?

1. How do I get entered in such a contest?
You don't do anything! You are simply chosen! It's that easy!

2. What IS a Poser?
That is for you to decide. Some think it's a poster who is annoying. Some think it's a poster whose board persona does not match the real life person. Some think it's a poster who is just constantly posting. Maybe it's a poster who doesn't know anything about anything. It's up to the voter to decide.

3. Is winning the Poser Of The Year a good thing or a bad thing?
That depends on the contestant. Some contestants think it's a bad thing, while others revel in it.

4. Is voting public?
You bet your arse it is.

5. Can I vote for more than one poster?
For the most part, yes. You'll see for yourself later on.

6. Can anyone vote?
Of course! Take note, however, of the closing time of the poll. Make sure your vote is counted!

7. What if there is a tie?
There are no ties. The tiebreaker consists of many things rolled into one, which may include but is not limited to: posts, veteran status, poo-flinging monkeys, rep chiclets, the weather, past PoTY finishes, prayer, PWR, KRACH, and team affiliation.

If there are any other questions, feel free to ask. And start thinking about who is YOUR Poser Of The Year!!!

Is there anyway ctf doesn't win this in a landslide? ;)

According to a Mr. Gin, she is sadly ineligible for this award.

Historically, it's been the top 100 in post count who are eligible, but that may have changed. It's POTY. Anything goes.

Twitch Boy is correct. That is the main eligibility requirement.

And where does one find out this top 100?

Edit: just kidding. Figured it out. F*ing hell, I'm eligible this year...

I'm going with USCHO Newsbot all the way, however.
