Poser of the Year is going down the tubes

I came across his broadcast earlier this season, forgetting that it was him broadcasting until I read a thread here was was reminded of it, and I couldn't believe how horrible the announcing was. It was all whine, so I turned from the game after just a few minutes.

I guess I've been reading too many of FS23's threads....making it too complicated....
> # of posters by post count is weighted x%
> # of threads started relative to total threads started is weighted y%
> then some measure of "quality" relative to "quantity." Some people just don't post that often, but when they do, their posts are often classic (e.g. Rimbaud).
> and also I misunderstood the intention / meaning, thinking poseur was intended, and so was including an "obnoxiousness" quotient.


Finally, I was unaware of the length and depth of the tradition, as no prior year threads were available.

So now that Poser of the Year is properly underway, ..... hmm....


Still, it is interesting to note the considerable overlap in top vote-getters so far. The leaders in the current pools are many of the same people who were leaders in the "misunderstood" pools before they were deleted.

If all roads led to Rome, would all votes have led to the same POTY either way?




And now for something completely different!

Am I the only one here who remembers The Tubes?

She may be a beauty, but this post sure as heck ain't. We are not turning something so time honoured into a NC$$ fallacy.

You were definitely reading way too much into this. CommAvHusky started this thing. He was more about getting beers than weighted averages.
 
Re: Poser of the Year is going down the tubes

If there was an obnoxiousness quotient factored in and I did not qualify, either:
1. The formula is flawed
or
2. I need to redouble my efforts.

There was some eastern bias in the obnoxiousness quotient. ;)

um, Dude, didn't you hear? the obnoxiousness quotient was tossed out. Ballot eligibility is based purely on post totals and nothing more.

Re: Poser of the Year is going down the tubes

Without JDubbs as an option this is a fraudulent poll, I dont care how many posts he has, he is the "Poser of the year".
 
Re: Poser of the Year is going down the tubes

poty is sooo down the tubes. the nominating process, the voting, who qualifies. its all ****ed up. just like last year. and the year before. and the year before that. isnt the screwed up process necessary for a screwed up award for a screwed up poster? this game sucks. and I love it. :)

If you want to do a NIPT (National Invitation Poser Tournament), go right ahead.

Indeed. The 100th entrant into the tournament (dxmnkd316) was the 118th overall poster before all the DQs.

Did GLM quit when he went legit? ;)

Pipe down, scooter. Only PoTY organizers (current and retired) and past winners can say that to the PoTY noob candidates.
