Poser of the Year 2014...or 2015...Whatever

Re: Poser of the Year 2014...or 2015...Whatever

I'd do something like threaten to flood the board with pony stuff if I won. But if I said that, everybody would just vote for me to see if I carry through. So I won't.

It'll be funny when everyone who votes for me is suddenly banned... ;)

Forgot about Newsbot, as that is a fairly recent thing.

For those new to this, the "prize" is that the "winner" has to have "2014 Poser Of The Year" in their sig until the next "winner" is crowned. Of course, this cannot be forced. I'd like to think that the PoTY would own their title; accept the responsibility.

Nope. This is for 2014. It encompasses all posts in the 2014 calendar year.

My first campaign.

I have arrived.


How exciting!

:D

I thought that one of the eligibility requirements was that a person was not allowed to campaign for themselves?

Nope.

Overall, campaigning is usually frowned upon, and often has the reverse effect of what the campaigner wants.

Seriously, the only rules to this thing have to do with a post count eligibility and the mysterious rules on how tie breakers are decided. I have no clue where you get the ideas you do about this "event", but there's nothing anywhere nearly so structured as you'd like this thing to be.

Some of the RPI posters seem to believe that USCHO threads are serious business. :p The poster in question also didn't get the joke.

There is a rule on tiebreakers. Most have figured out the rule on poster eligibility to be entered in the contest in the first place. And there is a formula to determine the groups, which makes it that much more fun when you get a Group Of Death. Groups are NOT up to the organizer to decide.

The first round is complete. To those who did not advance, we have some lovely parting gifts for you... nine-year supply of pantyhose... Lee press-on nails... oh, and some gift certificates to Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Congratulations to those who made it to the second round, and voting on Round 2 may now commence.

So ends my streak of First Round eliminations. :(
