Author | Topic: The Unofficial Poster of the Year 2005 by way of vote | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
mike the wiz Member Posts: 4755 From: u.k Joined: |
It's time to choose your poster of the year 2005. You have one vote. You can vote for who you think is the poster of the year. I suggest you consider your nomination wisely. Unless there is a different system, then I will assume last years system is in place. One vote means you are instantly nominated and listed thus; " Dudeguy 1 ". If another person voted for poster Dudeguy, thus he would be listed; " Dudeguy 2 ". The winner being the outstanding champion with most votes. Hence you will hear his outstanding yelp from a thousand mile perimeter, and thus run for shelter at the incoming ego-explosion.
I would request that even readers/lurkers come out of lurkdom to vote for this most privelidged and important, historical election. ......Final Standings for 2004 The unofficial Poster of the year 2004 was NosyNed.

I'm glad a few have voted already.
I hope more people vote. Last year we didn't have that many votes, as you can see. I would advise looking at the Post of the Month topics, for this year, for those struggling to think of who should get the vote. Remember; This isn't a "vote for my fave guy" competition, lol. I remember the admin were a bit annoyed last year when people started to vote for people who are here for about two weeks a year. How not to vote: " Dudeguy gets my vote, because he made a funny joke in January and then never came back. " How to vote: " Shraffguyette makes consistently good posts, that are seldom wrong and contain good sound knowledge. " This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 11-08-2005 09:08 AM

I've just made up a list of who was nominated for Posts of the month between January - May 2005. Honestly, I do have a life.
[rant]Well, all I can say is it's a great lesson in how ambigious people are, so the list might not be entirely accurate but you wouldn't believe how people prattle on about nonsense instead of just freaking nominating a post. Grrrrr.[/rant]
People with no number beside them were only voted for once between Jan-May. This is just to give an idea of who done well in the first five months.

This is the complete finished list of people who were nominated for posts of the MONTH thus far, this year.
Holmes 14 P.S. It's important to note that there are very good posters NOT on that list. For example, Paul K is a knowledgeable and good poster. I guess the problem is that not many people vote for posts for the month. Well, it's a statistic, that's all. This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 11-08-2005 05:10 PM

That's because they're not my numbers. In Mike's simple-world, 1 + 1 = 2. I get that, really! Here's what's not fine; "add 1 and maybe another 1".Or, " Add 1, and I agree with 1". Mike's answer; " I haven't got time to make people's minds up for them ". Seriously though, because the actual posts of the month are not strictly votes for a oustanding winner by tally, then people say "I agree". Am I to take "I agree" as "I second that nomination"? That's a whole other debate. But they are not under the premise that their nominations will be counted. If it's any consolation, I didn't include two "possible nominations" for my own self, when in one instance I voted for myself, and in another instance someone apparently "agreed" with a nomination for me, which I didn't include as he didn't specify as to whether he was seconding the nomination for mike the wiz. So my tally could be deemed to be 4 nominations this year. So, I think logically the statistic I provided is useful, because I am fair, across the board. IOW, if I am unfair with you and Yaro, then I am unfair with everyone else. If I am fair with you and Yaro, I am fair with everyone else. Thus I apply a standard with no double standards. So infact, the statistic is not so much a "who got most", but rather a fair indication of how well specific posters have done, this year. P.S. Maybe you shouldn't listen to me though, as Mr Hambre did say he wanted me as his lawyer if he was the murderer in a murder case. This message has been edited by mike the wiz, 11-12-2005 01:38 PM

......Standings so far for 2005 POTY
---------------------------------- Clark said "I agree with the others who voted Holmes". I've included that as a vote for Holmes as Holmes's name is specified in the post-title. Pending further ambiguity, I'm off to go nuts in a corner. JUST STATE WHO YOU VOTE FOR. Listen I could "agree" that Holmes is one smart dude, but does that mean I voted for him? or that I agreed with the jolly good thoughts about him? *Yeesh* Buckeye said "I tend to like Crashfrog's posts the best. They are direct and usually make a clear". So do I. What can we infer? *spins and spontaneously combusts*. Okay, I've included Buckeye's mention on the assumption that the post-title indicates his vote. Tusko said he thinks Holmes is sexy. I'll include that as a vote. If Tusko argues that he infact didn't vote for Holmes, then can somebody please shoot him for me. After a lengthy rant, and a lot of mike-suffering, Holmes finally gave up his vote; "But I think I'll put RAZD down as my choice" Grant me the assumption that I am catering for the mass, on the whim of entertaining some kind of specific criterion, that I may discretely seperate the wheat from the chaff, without being referred to as a total ass, who can't add 1 and 1.

Speaking as a poster, and stepping away from gathering the votes for a moment, I must say I find it hard as to who to vote for myself. I actually haven't been here that much this year so some fo these names are new to me.
What I will say is that I consciously seek out Schrafinator, Buzsaw and Phatboy, as their posts are usually very interesting to me. I think the way Buz words things is interesting, and Phatz can just pull you in, he adds interest enormously for me. Shraff is also a very clean methodical refutation-machine. It's gota be one of those guys, and I'm going to consult message #15 in this thread, to see if my choices are justified. P.S. Has NosyNed posted much this year? No one seems to have voted for him yet.

Thanks for the thought.
I am voting for Schrafinator. A bit of favouritism? Hear my logic first!! Phat, Buz and Crash have already been voted for, so I think I'll be the one to put her on the list. This year she spent a lot of time on twurps like me. Her posts are in depth and intelligent. Sometimes I think, "Oh man, I've spent a paragraph on my refutation and she refuted him in one sentence". She thinks 3d, whereas I'm a 2d-twurp.

......Standings so far for the 2005 Poster Of The Year
Votes _________ Posters with no number beside their name, have received one vote each. You still have untill the end of December if you haven't voted. Don't forget that Admin can also vote. They can vote in admin mode, and in poster mode. (I feel that admin deserve this extra-privelidge as they hold an objective viewpoint of postages).
