2010 POSER OF THE YEAR: The Official Thread

Re: 2010 POSER OF THE YEAR: The Official Thread

But it's not top 100 for the year. It's all time. Rookies don't always explode in the bigs. ;)

But, on a related note, I am sorta surprised no one has figured out the grouping pattern. Not that I (or CommAv) would confirm any theories, but there is a formula. :D
Yeah, but going with the all time posters leaves out a lot of the younger new bloods that would make a strong run. Hockeydad and Umich come to mind for this year who are outside and looking in. That level of moronity deserves recognision and an award.

No thanks. :D One would have to track a lot more than 100 to be able to figure out who the top 100 in the last year are.
Oh come on Ralph, Its just one night where you gotta plug in the names and post count of all of the posters at the time, and then remember where you put the file later in a year. Another nite of putting in the new post counts and a little spreadsheet magic, and you'll have the top 100 list for the year, and as an added bonus, you'll be all set to go for next year as well. :D

Maybe you should start an NIT tourney.

Dirty's like our Walter Mondale. he's been around so long, he deserves the nomination.
tRalph should be a front runner for cracking the 100,000 ceiling.
Dude Love does a good job.
And Brent could be a dark horse to repeat.
however, I'm putting some money (read that 2 cents) on TWITCH BOY

When he loses, there'll be numerous Ronald McDonald sightings.

No, it should be something that's earned over a period of time. If they are true posers, they will keep at it, and reach the top 100 in a couple of years or so. All that point if their moronity is still going strong they will get the recognition they deserve.

Fixed.

I'm sure a year is plenty of time for a very good amount of moronity to be posted by a Moron and would get us quality posers into the brackets here.
 
Re: 2010 POSER OF THE YEAR: The Official Thread

Idea I've been tinkering with: why not have PoTY autobids?

You could have autobids for various categories like worst academics, trolling, general classlessness, biggest dick move, most offensive, worst grammar/spelling, best drama starter, etc.

Then after the autobids, we go by post count until we have our 100, just like the PWR.

This would allow upstarts like ctf to get in and possibly go on a Cinderella run.

No one is stopping anyone from having an "NIT" of sorts, or a BCS Poll, or whatever.

And trust me, there is more work to this than one might think. :o

A poll would be pretty cool, it could include posters who aren't eligible, so we could know who was snubbed by the selection process. :p

I don't have the time to do it, at least not this week.

There is no way in hell I'm winning this thing. Not against these area clowns.

If I get out of the first round, I'm happy.
 
Re: 2010 POSER OF THE YEAR: The Official Thread

MEg at 69.

This should be cause to start another insane thread.
I noticed that too, but chose not to bring it up. She would not be that number normally except there are at least 2 people in the top 90 who are eliminated.

The real question, which is the bracket of death? To me its between Regions 1 and 2.

Brent has a nearly clear path to the Final Four in Region 3.

Even if I managed to get past MEg, I'd be toast in round two going up against #5 jmh.
