Fall Classic Screen Name Tournament: Two-for-one: Drama + Winner.

[Agent Proto]

Hi. It seems to be that time again! Over the past year, this tournament has been wonderfully hosted by the great Ouch! but alas, it returns back to under my helm as I host the 20th Screen Name Tournament, or the Fall Classic Screen Name Tournament. I have gathered 128 names (not including past winning screen names featured in the Unofficial Screen Name Hall of Fame) to duke it off until one final name remains to be named into the Hall of Fame.

During the spring of this year, the winning screen name turned out to be none other than... what was it? Oh yes, it was 41-Inches-Wide! She managed to win against the likes of scrumpleberry, which was also a superb name. How very exciting it was, and we hope to see a similar finals for this Fall Classic's Finals.

Now, for those unfamiliar and looking forward to their first ever screen name tournament here is what you should expect to see. As I have earlier said, there will be 128 screen names, all divided into eight brackets of sixteen names each. Your duty is to select a screen name out of each paired match-up. The name with the most votes will advance to the next round and we start over until the final round. There will be seven rounds total, and each will have two days for voting, so that means this tournament will end within two weeks.

Now for some voting rules.

1. Don't post your votes.
2. PM your votes to Agent Proto.
3. Vote for one name from each match-up. You should have eight names chosen for each bracket this round.
4. If you wish to not vote for a match-up, please leave a blank.
5. Please title your PMs accordingly! (Optional.)
6. If you wish to change any votes, please title your PM "Vote Change" and indicate which votes you wish to change. Don't just send a revote including vote changes.

So you want an example of what your votes should look like? Well look no further, I've got you covered!

Example Bracket
1. Jane
1. Billy
2. Steven
2. Henry
3. Paul
3. Dan
4. Nicole
4. Stephany

Your votes should look like this in your PM.

[Freya]

Oh woo! Let's see if I can battle the laziness to give you votes :D

[Bunny]

calling my loss in round 3

[demondude]

Fan-fucking-tastic. Against Maxx Power. :(

[Jiro]

I'm feeling particularly arrogant today so I think I'll go down in Round 3, beaten out by The Shoeless Hobo. I'm surprised he's not in the hall of fame already!

EDIT: Gahh, voting was tough. So many good names, such vague judging criteria. I think Woodinator has my bet though.

[Timekeeper]

Alright Mold Anus, bring it! :monocle:

[Raven Nox]

I'm against Woodinator? Well, I'm out!

[Breine]

Greatness!

[Agent Proto]

Anyway, to see some discussion going on, let's start off with some early predictions! Who do you guys think would win each bracket?

[DK]

I am not happy with you Proto you always leave Keith out of this even though he has one of the best names on EoFF I demand you take me out of this sham of a competition and put him in instead you awful man :irked:

[scrumpleberry]

koshiotor?

[Agent Proto]

Dan, no can do. Once voting has started, it wouldn't be fair for Keith or Momiji. All the names up will not be removed or changed. Sorry. ;)

scrumpleberry: Yeah, blame my handwriting, I read it with an -or instead of -ar. It has been fixed. xD

[Loony BoB]

smittenkitten + The Shoeless Hobo for the win!

EDIT: I am willing to sacrifice my involvement for I Took the Red Pill's involvement. Having said that, I don't think either of would win anyway. But his is pretty much a more amusing SN than mine.

[Rodarian]

I have such stiff competition.....This pony won't even leave the race stand of the Kentucky derby! :(

[Jessweeee♪]

o:

[Breine]

I think that either Shlup, Flying Mullet, PG or The Shoeless Hobo deserve to win. But really, there are so many good names.

[Quindiana Jones]

What kind of person thinks "Quin" is a good name?

[Melissaur]

I Don't Need a Name, I think has a good chance! love the "lack of a name"

[Madame Adequate]

My laurels.

I rest on them. :smug:

[Breine]

What kind of person thinks "Quin" is a good name?

...You?

[Agent Proto]

This just in. After a good handful of votes, there have been some very tight match-ups. I'll report them to you guys.

Before doing so, I'll describe a tight match-up. That is a match-up where the there is at least a two-vote difference between the two screen names. There are quite a bunch of those so far!

Garland Bracket: 2 match-ups
Golbez Bracket: 3 match-ups
Exdeath Bracket: 1 match-up
Kefka Bracket: 2 match-ups
Sephiroth Bracket: 2 match-ups
Ultimecia Bracket: 2 match-ups
Kuja Bracket: 2 match-ups
Jecht Bracket: 1 match-up

Voting is still going on, so PM in your votes if you haven't done so already!

[Ouch!]

I'll have my votes in soon, Proto. I promise!

[Agent Proto]

Ok, here is a compromise to both Loony BoB and DK. If either of your names advances to the next round, I will have I Took the Red Pill replace your name. Will that be acceptable?

[Madonna]

I am so wishing I was allowed to keep BMIWBR for this, but I guess that is out the window! Grrr, rubah!

I will vote the following rounds, since it seems I missed out on this one! Good luck, folks!

[Marshall Banana]

I'm biased and like my own name best! I also like "smittenkitten."

[Quindiana Jones]

What kind of person thinks "Quin" is a good name?

...You?

I think it's a necessary name. :(

If it ain't a Quin related pun, I don't think my name has any right being in a tournament. :doublecolbert:

[Levian]

voted and stickied

[Agent Proto]

I was wondering when that will happen. Thanks Levian! :D

[Rocket Edge]

Just voted. I'm rooting for The Shoeless Hobo.

[Loony BoB]

Ok, here is a compromise to both Loony BoB and DK. If either of your names advances to the next round, I will have I Took the Red Pill replace your name. Will that be acceptable?
I accept, but it's kind of pointless as I don't think I will be progressing to the next round. :p

[Agent Proto]

Silly BoB. :p You don't really know if your name may not win. It may or it may not. 'sides, Red Pill will take your name's place if it does advance, so be patience. There's still the rest of the day before I announce the results and get onto the next round!

As for everyone else who haven't voted, it's not too late to send your votes in for this round. I've got several undecided match-ups waiting for a clear winner!

[Agent Proto]

Round One is closed, here are the results! Feel free to discuss about the results while I prepare the next round!

[Melissaur]

yay! I'm still in it!

[Agent Proto]

Heads up to anyone interested! Since Loony BoB has advanced to the next round, he has agreed to have his name replaced with I Took the Red Pill, so Red Pill will be in his place in the second round.

[G13]

*Phew*

I made it past round one.

*heads upstairs* MOM! We did it!

[Freya]

I predict "The Shoeless Hobo" to win :)

[Agent Proto]

:cool:

Cool. So let's get the next round started. Things will only get harder from this point. We've had several close calls in the first round, and I would imagine plenty in this round. I will provide my personal commentaries for each bracket. When you vote, please remove them. Enjoy! :monster:

One down, two to go.

Voted.

[Timekeeper]

What kind of person thinks "Quin" is a good name?

...You?

I think it's a necessary name. :(

If it ain't a Quin related pun, I don't think my name has any right being in a tournament. :doublecolbert:

You'd need more confidence then that to Quin the tournament :roll2

[Rodarian]

Well I didn't expect to get past round one....Maybe I do I have some hope...Will vote asap....

[Jessweeee♪]

o:

[Rodarian]

why the 0: Jess!

[Agent Proto]

It always bother me when she does that, like she has nothing important to say but o:... but I digress! Anyway, a good handful of votes, and it's time to report how the brackets are doing so far! Let's see how many close match-ups we have for each bracket. a close match-up is one with a difference of 2 or less votes between the names.

Garland Bracket: 0
Golbez Bracket: 1
Exdeath Bracket: 2
Kefka Bracket: 1
Sephiroth Bracket: 2
Ultimecia Bracket: 2
Kuja Bracket: 1
Jecht Bracket: 2

There is still plenty of time to vote, so if you haven't voted, be sure to do so soon!

[Jessweeee♪]

;_;

Well I have nothing to say but I am interested in the result of this competition, so I make an "I am interested in this competition" face.

[Rodarian]

o: is soooo vague though!

[Jojee]

I'm all for Garnet Eiko LAX 2009 EXTREME :p

[Madonna]

There is nothing vague about it once you apply a little charm, Rodarian! ^_~ You absolutely better vote for me totally super hard, Jojee, else that mega mysterious trophy might fall into the utterly wrong hands, fight-oh! XD

[Agent Proto]

It would be awesome if I could get more people to vote. ;)

[Tavrobel]

inb4 popularity contest. Or am I three months too early?

[NeoCracker]

I premptively congragulate you on your victory over me Maxx Power. :p

[Agent Proto]

Oh you guys. :p There's still an entire day left to send me a PM. It would be greatly appreciated if I could get more votes in this round. We have some pretty tight match-ups that still need several more votes to decide a winner.

[theundeadhero]

If only I could vote again...

[Agent Proto]

I haven't seen any new votes in a couple hours, and hardly anyone has been posting in the thread, so I will be closing the voting for this round now and will be posting the results up so I can prepare for the next round. There has been two ties this time around! And both ties involved the hosts of these tournaments, Ouch! and Agent Proto. How fascinating that must be.

Anyway, to the results!

Feel free to discuss the results!

[Melissaur]

O_O Does this mean I go aginst Rantzien now?

[Jessweeee♪]

o:

[Bunny]

Two down, one to go!

[Agent Proto]

Don't you mean to say that in the next round is where you fall?

[theundeadhero]

Smittenkitten is gonna smear my floor.

[Wolf Kanno]

Wow... usually I get wasted on the first round...

[Agent Proto]

Round three is here. Now that we're down to 32 names, each bracket now have four names remaining. I have decided to join two brackets to form a division, so instead of eight brackets, there will be four divisions, each named after a hero in Dissidia, as the brackets were named after the villains.

The Cecil Division consists of the Garland and Golbez brackets; the Terra Division consists of the Exdeath and Kefka brackets; the Cloud Division consists of the Sephiroth and Ultimecia brackets; and the Zidane Division consists of the Kuja and Jecht brackets. With that in mind, let's start round three!

Round Three

Cecil Division.
1. scrumpleberry
1. I Took the Red Pill
2. Whiffles
2. Noctiluca
3. smittenkitten
3. theundeadhero
4. ShlupQuack
4. Marshall Banana
<small><b>Possible close match-up(s):</b> smittenkitten - theundeadhero, ShlupQuack - Marshall Banana
<i>We have several interesting match-ups for this division. scrumpleberry and smittenkitten, both were in the Final Four in the last tournament, are facing tough competition. We also have a Battle of the <s>Cute Names;Girls-Who-Like-Cute-Stuff</s><b><u>Strawberry Lovers</b></u> (I think?) between ShlupQuack and Marshall Banana!</i></small>

Terra Division.
1. The Shoeless Hobo
1. Jiro
2. Shiny
2. Necronopticous
3. I Don't Need a Name
3. Wolf Kanno
4. KoShiatar
4. Dolentrean
<small><b>Possible close match-up(s):</b> None.
<i>It may appear that each of the match-ups seem pretty easy to see a clear winner, but you can't count out the underdog screen names like Wolf Kanno and Jiro out just yet.</i></small>

Cloud Division.
1. Dignified Pauper
1. TheAbominatrix
2. Pureghetto
2. Roogle
3. Moon Rabbits
3. Woodinator
4. Vermachtnis
4. Jessweeee♪
<small><b>Possible close match-up(s):</b> Dignified Pauper - TheAbominatrix, Pureghetto - Roogle
<i>There is nothing to report for this division. However, I do want to say this... Ouch! And the Flying Arrow is out of the building! Poor pun and grammar, indeed! :D</i></small>

Zidane Division.
1. The Unknown Guru
1. Old Manus
2. Captain Maxx Power
2. Vice Nebulosa
3. Agent Proto
3. Bunny
4. Melissaur
4. Rantzien
<small><b>Possible close match-up(s):</b> The Unknown Guru - Old Manus, Melissaur - Rantzien
<i>So it looks like Yeargdribble and the popular Flying Mullet didn't get to advance any further. And will Bunny's prediction come true and lose out in this round to Agent Proto? And how about that last match-up?</i></small>

Voting starts now and will last for two days. :monster: And could a staffer please update the thread title as well? Thanks much.

<b>Optional Discussion:</b> Which screen names do you think will win their respective divisions?

[Marshall Banana]

I didn't register with "Marshall Banana" because I think it's cute. I don't like bananas, and "ShlupQuack" is cuter.

"Marshall Banana" is a Cowboy Bebop reference.

[Agent Proto]

I couldn't really think of an appropriate name for the match-up, but I think it's rather interesting you both are paired up in a match-up. What would you have named it as?

[The Space Pope]

pudding

[Marshall Banana]

I couldn't really think of an appropriate name for the match-up, but I think it's rather interesting you both are paired up in a match-up. What would you have named it as?
Battle of the strawberry lovers.

[Agent Proto]

Battle of the Strawberry Lovers it is! So appropriate too!

[Vermachtnis]

Whelp I'm probably gonna die this round xD

[Rodarian]

I got knocked by the woodinator! 0_o

Ah wel..Will post my vote later in the night!

[Agent Proto]

I hope this will bring up some discussion, but it's purely optional to do.

Since there are eight remaining screen names for each Division, this should give you a good idea of who could win in the future rounds. Which screen names do you think will win their respective divisions?

[Jiro]

My picks for Division Winners.

Cecil Division.
Noctiluca

Terra Division.
The Shoeless Hobo

Cloud Division.
Woodinator

Zidane Division.
Melissaur

[Melissaur]

I'm so glad people like my new name!!

[Loony BoB]

smittenkitten, Hobo, Woody, Mellisaur.

[Agent Proto]

Reporting in with some quick updates for this round. Let's take a look at each division to see how many close match-ups we currently have. Remember a close match-up has a vote difference of 2 or less between the screen names.

Cecil Division: 3 match-ups
Terra Division: 1 match-up
Cloud Division: 2 match-ups
Zidane Division: 1 match-up

Fun fact: Cecil Division currently holds the most female members remaining with five! Garland Bracket also started the tournament with five female members.

Don't forget about the optional discussion! I'm interested to see who you think would win each division.

[Melissaur]

I Took The Red Pill and I Don't Need a Name are still like my top 2 names!

[Moon Rabbits]

I made it to round 3? Ballin.

[Timekeeper]

My four?
Red Pill, Hobo, Dignified Pauper, Melissaur

[Melissaur]

my picks :greenie:
I Took The Red Pill, I Don't Need a Name, Jessweeee♪, The Unknown Guru

[scrumpleberry]

thanks for your faith in me guys :cry:

Noctiluca, Necronopticous, Woodinator, Melissaur

[Vermachtnis]

Noctiluca, Wolf Kanno, Jessweeee♪, Melissaur

[Agent Proto]

There is still a couple hours left until I end round three, so if you haven't voted, now is a good time to get that taken care of~

[Agent Proto]

Looks like no new votes will be coming in after awhile, so I'll end voting and post the results for this round immediately! There were some very tight match-ups this round, and also quite a few surprises! Let's take a look, shall we?

[Melissaur]

*dances* w00t! I'm still in it!

[Bunny]

Called it.

[Agent Proto]

Hm, let's get rolling with the next round.

Sweet 16

Cecil Division.
Garland Bracket.
I Took the Red Pill
Noctiluca
<small>I Took the Red Pill should be fortunate that Loony BoB offered to let his name be replaced, or we may not have seen this match-up for the Sweet 16. His challenger for the Garland bracket is Noctiluca, who has been at this point before, as was Red Pill. Who will make a visit to the next round?</small>

Golbez Bracket.
smittenkitten
ShlupQuack
<small>Smitzy would be proud of smittenkitten, as she makes another visit to the Sweet 16. Same goes for ShlupQuack, who beated out Marshall Banana in the Battle of the Strawberry Lovers, now it's time for Part II, and this time it's for the Golbez bracket!</small>

Terra Division
Exdeath Bracket.
The Shoeless Hobo
Necronopticous
<small>Here, we have the Hobo, who has been here before last time, facing off against Necronopticous, who is making his first visit to the Sweet 16. They are fighting for the Exdeath bracket.</small>

Kefka Bracket.
I Don't Need a Name
KoShiatar
<small>The nameless one against one of CK's finest artists for the Kefka bracket. Will I Don't Need a Name prove that you don't need a name to win, or will KoShiatar continue her surprising run to the next round?</small>

Cloud Division
Sephiroth Bracket.
TheAbominatrix
Roogle
<small>Roogle returns to the Sweet 16! His opponent, TheAbominatrix (without a space!) makes a surprise visit with her victory over the Diginified Pauper, preventing Marick a return. They face off against each other for the Sephiroth bracket.</small>

Ultimecia Bracket.
Moon Rabbits
Jessweeee(musical note)
<small>The Ultimecia bracket turned out to be no real surprise. Moon Rabbits and Jessweeee both made it to the Sweet 16 in the spring. However, only one of them will move on while the other stays put.</small>

Zidane Division
Kuja Bracket.
The Unknown Guru
Captain Maxx Power
<small>The underdog for the Kuja bracket, Captain Maxx Power of the Pirate Red Mages!! This would be his first ever visit to the Sweet 16, and his opponent would be The Unknown Guru, one of the more popular choices to win! Will the Captain (not to be confused with The Captain) make a surprise victory or will the Guru continue on as expected?</small>

Jecht Bracket.
Agent Proto
Melissaur
<small>And finally, we have the Jecht bracket. Here we have one of the more unlikeliest match-ups with Agent Proto and Melissaur. However, only one will move on, continuing their unlikely run in the tournament. Will it be the name that upsetted Flying Mullet in the second round, or the name that had been recently changed (though not as recent as Garnet Eiko LAX 2009 Extreme)?</small>

o:


I am surprised by some of these results!

[Baloki]

I lost to Shlup?

*rages*

[Agent Proto]

Reporting in! After a day of votes, pretty much all eight match-ups are toss-ups! What does this mean? It means anyone could win and advance to the next round. There are no clear leaders, so who should win is up to the voters to decide. There is still a day left, so please vote if you can!

Only you can decide who wins!

[Jiro]

I already voted so I can't decide who wins really :(

Also 'grats to Hobo for defeating me as expected!

[Agent Proto]

Alright, voting has slowed down and it seems there won't be any new votes so I'll be closing the round and announcing the results! How exciting! Let's see how the bracket contenders have done. :3

[Breine]

Voted :excited:

There really are some good names left.

[Agent Proto]

Wow, for the votes I'm getting, a severe lack of posting occurs. :(

Well, reporting in with how the voting is going. Of the four match-ups, only one is neck to neck. I can't reveal which match-up it is, but I will say that anything goes if the voting continues on! :) Remember folks, the next round will be the Final Four and following that, the Finals where we decide on a name to join the UnOfficial Screen Name Hall of Fame.

[Jiro]

OH GOD I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHO WINS :hyper:

[Shiny]

Well, whaddya you know. Pill made it far despite being shafted at first.

[Freya]

Posting because I voted and you said there is a lack of it in the thread :D

[The Space Pope]

It's a tie

you all lose.


to this guy (http://www.eyesonff.com/members/wiki/memberlist/ape_rape)

[Loony BoB]

Well, whaddya you know. Pill made it far despite being shafted at first.
He's in there because my bro wants him in there. Darn tootin'.

[Jiro]

It will be quite funny if Pill takes it out. Though anyone who claims injustice will need to be dealt with swiftly.

[Loony BoB]

I think it's only right that he's in there, although I wouldn't want him to win purely because he got in through an 'alternative' route. In fact, I'd be disappointed if Danielle didn't get to the next round (I may be biased there, mind you...) and surprised if he got to the final as he'd have to get through my other hopeful, The Shoeless Hobo, as well. Pretty confident that the semifinal of the first four will likely end up being the winner by a landslide in the final as the latter four just don't scream "Winner" on any level...

[Agent Proto]

It's a tie

you all lose.


to this guy (http://www.eyesonff.com/members/wiki/memberlist/ape_rape)

unfortunately banned members can't win

[Agent Proto]

Ok, looks like it's time to move on. Time for the results!

Elite Eight Results

1. I Took the Red Pill..||||\||||\|||| (14)
1. <s>smittenkitten</s>........||||\ (5)
2. The Shoeless Hobo....||||\||||\||| (13)
2. <s>I Don't Need a Name</s>..||||\ (5)

3. Moon Rabbits.........||||\||||\|||| (14)
4. <s>The Unknown Guru</s>.....||||\||| (8)
4. Agent Proto..........||||\|||| (9)

I Took the Red Pill, coming in as Loony BoB's replacement, makes it all the way to the Final Four winning the Cecil Division over BoB's Pink Knight and favorite, smittenkitten (who was also in the Final Four last time.) Winning the Terra Division is the ever so popular name, The Shoeless Hobo, making his second straight appearance to the Final Four. Moon Rabbits returns to the Final Four after winning the Cloud Division over newcomer TheAbominatrix. Topping off the Final Four is the winner of the Zidane Division, Agent Proto, who topped The Unknown Guru in a very tight match-up!

That makes up for the Final Four! I Took the Red Pill vs. The Shoeless Hobo and Moon Rabbits vs. Agent Proto

Final Four

1. I Took the Red Pill
1. The Shoeless Hobo
2. Moon Rabbits
2. Agent Proto

Voting starts immediately and will end within two day. Also, could a staff member update the thread title for me? Much appreciated. :D

Optional Discussion! Now that we're at the Final Four, what do you think about the tournament so far? Your thoughts will be appreciated! :monster:

[Madonna]

I am continuously surprised by the group's effort to have a lack of taste! There is still meager hope here and I wish for the best name to win!

[Loony BoB]

That's the last time I sacrifice my name so that someone can beat Danielle's name. You people have no taste for a good rhyme. Having said that, I Took the Red Pill is still mildly better than Moon Rabbits and Agent Proto, one of which is due for an absolute battering after TheAbominatrix missed out on her chance of reaching the final.

Having said that, one of my favourites is still in there and I trust that it shall still prevail. On the Hobo!

[Jiro]

Hey, it was your call BoB. You take sole responsibility for Danielle losing :p

[Timekeeper]

The names are not people, merely names.

Unless you want to be affected by bias or something :roll2

[Loony BoB]

The names are not people, merely names.
This is exactly why I can't understand some of the victories. :(

EDIT: Having said that I will emphasise that Hobo still is going strong and have high hopes still that victory will belong to the Shoeless!

[Timekeeper]

Yea I agree wholeheartedly, yet I think the overall winner will be one deserving of the title.

[Psychotic]

I don't see any Thunderdome. :colbert:

[theundeadhero]

We need more wild ravaging animals.

[Madonna]

The Final Four should really be settled with fisticuffs!

[Shiny]

I don't see any Thunderdome. :colbert:
Now now, you quiet your precious little face.

[Psychotic]

What the fuck does that even mean?

[Madonna]

I think she said, "Shut up!" I know it hurts, but let me remind you this: she does not eat lard! Pay her no heed!

Whoo, result time soon, right!? My only other thought regards the Thunderdome and how much we lacked it in this contest!

[Agent Proto]

Yeah, a severe lack of the Thunderdome, and who's to blame for it?

Me.

[Madonna]

Maybe you will get it right next year, along with the acid pit! Actually, doing short animations of the two names colliding would be sort of cool!

[Agent Proto]

Actually, Ouch! is scheduled for the next tournament, so go pester him about it. :D

[Psychotic]

Ouch! is a man who actually appreciates my PM titles. He even made a special rule about it.

[Agent Proto]

I think October was a bad month to do this, but I guess I'm expecting too much while school is in session for many. :P

[Freya]

I almost forgot to vote in this one.


I think October was a bad month to do this, but I guess I'm expecting too much while school is in session for many. :P

That or EoFF is just not as active =x

[Agent Proto]

Tsk, time for results! (It looks like I'm posting a whole lot lately with the lack of others posting. :()

And let's see how the voting turned out!

Final Four Results!

1. I Took the Red Pill..||||\||||\ (10)
1. <s>The Shoeless Hobo</s>....||||\ (5)
2. <s>Moon Rabbits</s>.........||||\| (6)
2. Agent Proto..........||||\|| (7)

So, there we have it. For the Finals, we have I Took the Red Pill (winning 10 to 5 over The Shoeless Hobo), who was a substitute for Loony BoB and the host with the most, Agent Proto (winning a close 7 to 6 over Moon Rabbits). This marks Proto's second appearance to the Finals, and Red Pill's first after his second trip to the Final Four. And now one has a chance to win it all. Either winning will mark the ultimate upset, one way or another. So, who would take the prize and join the others in the UnOfficial Screen Name Hall of Fame?

The Finals

I Took the Red Pill

or

Agent Proto

Remember to send your final vote <strike>for me</strike>to me, Agent Proto. You have about two days to do this! No pressure, okay?

Discussion: Now that the Finals are here, what are your opinions? Surprised or not? Who would you have preferred to see instead make it this far? Don't be afraid to speak out!

Just for your sake, I am really surprised to see my name make it this far. I was really expecting to go out in the second round, but things turned out rather differently with the unexpected tie with Flying Mullet. :monster: No complaints, really. Just surprised about it.

(edit: I had a double post. lol Can a staff member update the thread title for me? Thank you.
edit2: Stay classy, Paul! :moose:)

[Melissaur]

Well, I was surprised I made it past the first round ^__^ Good last match-up though. I enjoyed this contest.

[Freya]

Haxx I declare hax.

Shoeless hobo should have won you fools. xP

[Timekeeper]

Those names were my votes, so no surprises for me.

[Jiro]

Well my early prediction has been foiled but I don't care, because either way it's an upset now.

Regardless, I'm rooting for Proto. He's definitely the underdog, and that's who we support in Australia.

[Loony BoB]

Jiro: So you never support your own teams in cricket, rugby league or the Olympics? :p

I suppose I should vote for Agent Proto so I never again have to feel like people are voting or his username for a reason that isn't to do with his username... but eh, then again, I also feel like people are doing the same with Red Pill, so it's lose-lose for me. I vote for The Shoeless Hobo.

But really? Agent Proto? I mean, why is that one of the best usernames here? Can anyone tell me? I can't believe to this day that I once got to a final of this contest for any reason other than being popular, so I guess it can happen to anyone. I just can't understand why it's considered to be such a good name... maybe I'm missing some kind of witty reference or something. EDIT: But then I suppose I can say similar things for about 5 of the earlier winners too =x I'm just picky I guess xD

[Jiro]

Jiro: So you never support your own teams in cricket, rugby league or the Olympics? :p


Australia is the underdog in all the sports that I follow. We are ridiculously patriotic, but we also support others who are the underdog. I remember watching a tennis match where the foreigner was cheered for more by the crowd then the Australian player. Of course it was that girl with the jerk father, I don't remember. Tennis isn't my sport either.

/lesson

[Timekeeper]

My only complaint about Australian support of the underdog and 'giving everyone a fair go' is that it can often have the negative counterpart of tall poppy syndrome.



But really? Agent Proto? I mean, why is that one of the best usernames here?

He may have just been conveniently matched up with names that were destined to fall. It is a conspiracy!

[Agent Proto]

Honest, I never intended to have my name end up here, but I'll see how voting turns out in the end. It'll be a bit slow, I bet, and I may extend the deadline for another day if for some reason I end up with less than ten votes by the end of the second day.

[Breine]

I thought Shlup deserved to win, but congrats to the finalists! :)

[Loony BoB]

Shlup has had to take up edc's mantle of "that name that will probably win someday but not for a while yet." ;)

[Jessweeee♪]

This was unexpected!

[Moon Rabbits]

I made it so far!

Woodinator is a better screen name than mine, imho.

[Agent Proto]

Votes have been low so far, but I'm expecting to see them pick up over the next day. I won't expect to see a large turnout of voters for the finals, but I don't want a low participation just because of what names are remaining. It shouldn't take more than a minute to send me a PM with your final vote, if you do plan on voting.

[Freya]

I'm not voting. I declare hax. HOLY EF your name is geoffrey!?

[Shiny]

This was unexpected!

I was gonna say the same thing, so I will say it anyway.

This was unexpected!

Outside of rugby, NZ is the ultimate underdog. Do you support us also? xD

Yes. NZ and Australia are bros. I support the kiwis in everything they do. When NZ are playing against Australia, it's like watching two friends duke it out and then share a laugh afterwards.

Also I'm glad to see you haven't sold out. NEVA 4GET UR A KIWI

[Loony BoB]

Sell out? You can't sell out if you're already part of the best country in the world. :confused:

I think the only time I support Australia is in football. :p Or in Vegemite vs. Marmite wars.

[Jojee]

How the heck did Agent Proto win against Moon Rabbits?

Or like half the names it was paired against.

Real different preferences, I guess. :mog:

[Jiro]

Sell out? You can't sell out if you're already part of the best country in the world. :confused:
What are you talking about? I admit you're apart of the best team in the world (ANZACs ftw) but Australia is obviously the better half in this relationship :confused:

Vegemite is obviously superior to all other spreads. I hope Australia does well next world cup because we really need to promote football in this country. Too many people still call it soccer :(

Something on topic - The screen name competition is always weird because people have weird tastes. Hell I change my preferences every time I vote.

[Timekeeper]

My only complaint about Australian support of the underdog and 'giving everyone a fair go' is that it can often have the negative counterpart of tall poppy syndrome.


Why must you always be so negative? :(

Australia might have the problem of tall poppy syndrome, but this one minor negative means that Australian's are more willing to give everyone a fair go and to get out there and support the underdog in pretty much every sport there is. As they say, the Aussie crowd claps loudest for the last man who crosses the finish line. Isn't that nice?


Better?

[Rodarian]

I gave my vote in last night.. I'm a bias voter! ^_^!!!

Ohhh, you must like deserts. My apologies, everyone has their own criteria.

EDIT: But then again, I guess you're just going for the underdog. :D

[Jiro]

Better?

Yes.

I admit that your country is beautiful but that doesn't make it better than mine. However I would just like to point out a particular detail - you no longer live in NZ, so obviously there is something wrong with it.

Actually just ignore all that because NZ has hobbits and :bou::bou::bou::bou: and I fucking love Lord of the Rings. You win this time BoB :cry:

[Agent Proto]

How the heck did Agent Proto win against Moon Rabbits?

Or like half the names it was paired against.

Real different preferences, I guess. :mog:

It's all about the vote. I don't claim to understand why most would vote my name over another, but the name did receive more votes than the names it faced, even if it wasn't by a huge amount like some of the others had. If the tournament received more voters during the later rounds, perhaps we'll have a different result.

[Rocket Edge]

I can't believe to this day that I once got to a final of this contest for any reason other than being popular, so I guess it can happen to anyone.
I think it's obvious popularity clouds this tournament that better names are many times overlooked in favor of a friend or what have you. Shame, The Shoeless Hobo should have won this IMO.

[Mogi]

Gaw, wtf EoFF
;_;
I should have voted.
The Shoeless Hobo deserved it.

[Freya]

Yeah Shoeless hobo all the way,keep this uprising going >.>

[DK]

gotta be honest, not entirely sure why "The Shoeless Hobo" is supposed to be the greatest username in the history of EoFF or anything, it's kind of medicore imho. And that is what it comes down to really, my opinion, and all of our opinions. Everyone is so happy to jump on the "waah waah my favourite name didn't go through, it must be a popularity contest boohoo" bandwagon, toughen up ****'s, my favourite name wasn't even in the competition to start with until someone sacrificed themselves for it and now it's made it to the finals. So there's more than one person that enjoys that name. People have different opinions, it's clearly not all down to being a popularity contest otherwise Paul would win every year and Proto would be out in the first round (:aimkiss: Geoff), deal with it or GAGF, just stop whinging

[Psychotic]

I don't know, you know. Psychotic is a better name than TheAbominatrix so it was clearly popularity hax on her part to beat me in Round 1!

ps: I voted Proto and Red Pill in every round that I voted in (apart from this one), and I don't care who knows it. :aimkiss: I vote because I like the names. Sorry if you don't like my opinion, but come on guys.

[Melissaur]

If it was all up to popularity how would I have made it so far? I'm all n00b and stuff and, I'm guessing, not all the popular to most everybody on this site ^__^

[Moon Rabbits]

Hahaha popularity contest? You all notice how far I made it, oui oui? You're all skewed

[Freya]

Wow DK. Serious much?

Take your cookie and go sit in your corner. If people whine they whine. Or "GAGF" with your opinion and whining about people whining. Hypocrisy much? Or should we all jump on your boohoo bandwagon of people whining? Maybe that'll make it better.

It's a competition, despite how much anyone whines the votes are the votes. If more people have a problem with it than the name was voted for then well, god dammit they should have voted for their faved name.

Go ahead and preach your piece. But don't think for an instant that in a competition that the finalists or the winner will be accepted by all. That's the whole reason there are votes, for a majority.

People complain, it's all they can do if they didn't like the outcome. Unless one of them makes a time machine and goes back in time to swing the votes to their candidates favor! But if that was the case I doubt they'd use their time machine to do that simple silly little task. I would play Go-fish with lincoln before I try to swing some votes in an internet name competition.

[Melissaur]

It doesn't even seem like he's whining... He's stating his own personal opinion. We can still do that here, right? Or did I miss a memo somewhere?

[Freya]

Isn't that what others were doing? But it was coined as whining too. :)

[DK]

nowhere did I say the names in the final should be accepted by all, but coming steaming into the thread with "urrr, this name is crap, why is it even here, the name *I* like was sooo much better, wow this competition is clearly being fixed/voted on popularity and nothing else" is pure disrespect and failridden behaviour, shows a complete lack of class and grace for the people that have actually been voted for and advanced into the tournament on the back of their names. if you don't like having it pointed out to you when you're being a **** then don't be a **** quite frankly. there is a difference between complaining that your favourite name went out and you're upset and posting in the thread with the sole purpose of whinging that people only got through because of a popularity contest. Which is just horse:bou::bou::bou::bou: behaviour tbqh.


It's a competition, despite how much anyone whines the votes are the votes. If more people have a problem with it than the name was voted for then well, god dammit they should have voted for their faved name.

precisely the point, yet that didn't stop half the posters in the thread having a cry about the shoeless hobo going out because of alleged popularity voting that clearly isn't the case.

[Agent Proto]

With all due respect, I do hope I get more votes soon, or I will eventually have to extend the deadline for the next day if I do not reach at least 10 votes by the end of the day.

[Freya]

Apparently you didn't read the last part of my post. Here i'll save you the effort.


People complain, it's all they can do if they didn't like the outcome.

Name, or should I say * calling is no way to act either. Quite disrespectful and lack of class and grace itself. Just because people complain doesn't mean you can come bursting in throwing *'s around. Horse:bou::bou::bou::bou: behavior tbqh.

[DK]

haha you're barking up the wrong tree if you think I give a :bou::bou::bou::bou: about that, I treat people on a respect given and taken basis and seeing as half of you have no respect for the participants in the contest I ain't gonna give you any either.

and apparently you didn't read all of my last post either, here i'll save you the effort


there is a difference between complaining that your favourite name went out and you're upset and posting in the thread with the sole purpose of whinging that people only got through because of a popularity contest.

"waaah the names that went through suck so much, whats wrong with people, this is a fix, it's all just popularity" =/= "oh man, my favourite name went out, that sucks"

[Melissaur]

Some of the name I liked were out at the first round. I think both these names are really good, and either has a good chance of winning.

[Madonna]

I missed the drama bombs; how upsetting! Never am I oft pleased by the group's choice of king, but that is the nature of team co-operation; a good compromise should leave everyone bitter! Anyways, names beat up names and names move on and if we matched up names differently maybe some different names would have made it and we would have different finalists, but hey, this is a tournament! Contestants get eliminated and sometimes the pairings are not ideal for some, but we shall have a champion!

I am backing the Agent; bring it, Pillsy!

[Iceglow]

People complain and whine about things all the time when they don't get what they wanted. I call it being a spoilt brat really if you're so used to getting your own way that you can't accept that it doesn't always go the way you wanted it to then you need to 1) grow up, 2) get a good taste of what life is really like and 3) learn to accept the fact that life is full of crap and sometimes the crap lands on you. If everyone was acting as spoilt as this in the real world then the world simply wouldn't work at all. I'm with Dan on this; quit your whining you've had a chance to vote and it didn't go your way, learn to face facts if you voted for someone/something and the majority says your vote option sucked then well it aint going to happen is it? And for the record I haven't voted in this no, I've not been on EoFF properly since my laptop broke 10 weeks ago, I don't like typing on the girlfriends laptop I've kept up on things more by XBL (anyone doubting this can check with proto also, I'm sure seeing as my gamer score leapt like 2000 points recently you can all see what I've been killing time with) however because Proto asked for more votes I will PUBLICLY state my vote:

Proto, chalk me up for I took the red pill, Agent Proto is a decent name, don't get me wrong however I don't think it beats I took the red pill since I took the red pill is a good reference to a great movie imho.

[Timekeeper]

I voted for Red Pill, but there's no bias there. I just think it's a better name.

[Shiny]

waah waah my favourite name didn't go through, it must be a popularity contest boohoo

[Agent Proto]

One hour remaining before I announce the winner! If anyone has anything to add regarding this drama nonsense, now is a good time to do so!

[Shiny]

Yeah, I have something to add!

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_nQZLOCqglvA/SRt3s97GaUI/AAAAAAAAA4k/TTsPyhmbceA/s400/Gap+tooth.jpg

Now what. :colbert:

[Psychotic]

I like how Geoffrey is acting like he doesn't condone this awful drama nonsense, and yet is encouraging people to add more to it.

Nice try! We all know you're loving it! :greenie:

[Agent Proto]

I like how you continue to misspell my name, Paul. :greenie:

[NeoCracker]

I like how I have male bits. ^_^

[Jiro]

Good grief people. Vote, discuss, whine, it's all fair game there. But let's keep it like that. Everyone is entitled to opinions etc etc let's all just play nice plz.

Go go Proto. My vote was probably influenced by the fact that I think Geoff is awesome but whatever, it's not like it's a big deal.

[Agent Proto]

Before announcing the winner, let's take a quick look at our two finalists.

<b>I Took the Red Pill</b>
Red Pill would have never made it had DK never made his complaint that his screen name had been overlooked, thus making Loony BoB have Red Pill replace him after his decisive victory over UnbreakableWill 11 to 8. Since then, he has taken on an impressive streak, starting with his victory over rubah, then taking out the last tournament's runner-up, scrumpleberry. Following scrumpleberry was Noctiluca, smittenkitten, and The Shoeless Hobo all the way to his first appearance to the Finals.

<b>Agent Proto</b>
Agent Proto's second appearance to the Finals was rather unlikely and unexpected. He sneaked his way through very close victories over some of his opponents. However, in the first round, he easily crushed Mirage 17 to 1. The second round, he tied with Flying Mullet, only to win through a tie-breaker. From there, it was smooth sailing until the Elite Eight, beating Bunny and Melissaur. However, he won two close match-ups over The Unknown Guru and Moon Rabbits. both by just one vote to get into the Finals.

So, out of the two remaining screen names, who have won it all?

...

We'll find out right after these next couple posts before I post again!

[Timekeeper]

Yea, I would have voted Proto simply for his awesome Av/Sig, but that's not what I'm here to do...

EDIT: It looks like everyone's going to call you Geoff now xD

[Agent Proto]

And the winning screen name is...

[LunarWeaver]

Congrats Keithickle :aimkiss:

[Timekeeper]

Congratulations!
Well done on creating such a winning name.

[Jiro]

I would just like to complain because I typed Jeff with a J before.

Oh and congrats Pill, that's one good one you got there.

[Psychotic]

Well done, old chap. :elk:

[I Took the Red Pill]

kewl :)

[Loony BoB]

Congratulations to all the winners!

And hahahahahaha at everyone who bitches about me (and others) bitching about not thinking the names are good enough to be in a final or anything. I've been in a final and I don't think my name is good enough for that either. :D You think nobody in America had the right to complain when Bush was elected president? All's fair in love and screenname competitions, man.

On to more important things, though:

However I would just like to point out a particular detail - you no longer live in NZ, so obviously there is something wrong with it.
I only left so I could see why people consider NZ to be so much better than other countries, and now I can fully understand this. Unfortunately, I can't afford to get back. :(

Actually just ignore all that because NZ has hobbits and :bou::bou::bou::bou: and I smurfing love Lord of the Rings. You win this time BoB :cry:
:aimsun: *cuddle*

[Jiro]

I fully understand and believe everything you said BoB. Thank you for the hug, it's much appreciated. You're so awesome.

[Agent Proto]

Aww, everyone is so awesome! Group hug! *hugs everyone*

[Loony BoB]

I am totally in for a group hug. If someone cops a feel of you, it's... Dan.

[Rye]

Hahaha, this is the funniest thread I've ever read.

Good job to everyone and especially both Keith and GEOFFREY MMMMMM~~~ :bigsmile:

EDIT: And a congrats on running such a great competition this month, when no one else has really done anything at all! You've done really well. Take from someone who knows how difficult and unrequited a task it can be, you done good, don't listen to anyone having a whinge. :aimkiss:

[Levian]

Congrats ma boy! Now it's time to go back to your Braska roots!

For the record, I vote for whichever name I like more, but I also give out penalties to people who's not active. I'd pick a crappy name over the name of a person who's posted 10 times in 2009.

[Rocket Edge]

Congrats my man. :monster:

This thread made me laugh so much. Everyone needs to chill out.

[scrumpleberry]

Mega brilliance a grate naem won :heart: gj gj

[Bunny]

OUTRAGEOUS! IMPOSSIBLE! I DEMAND A RECOUNT! THE RESULTS ARE A SHAM!

[Madame Adequate]

I'm really having trouble understanding why I have not won over and over and over. :colbert: Clearly whether it is based on the merits of the name itself, or on the popularity of the member, I should have won.

You're a pack of ingrates and I will have no more to do with you!

[Shiny]

Good job to Keith and Proots for making it as far as they did. I didn't expect them to beat out Moon Rabbits and Shoeless Hobo, but they did. All four are great names imo.

[Del Murder]

Congrats on your win, Red Pill. Now all you need to do is take this gender verification test and you'll be all set.

[Agent Proto]

I sadly missed your presence in this thread, Del, knowing you were usually sometimes vocal in this kind of competition threads at EoFF.

[I Don't Need A Name]

Well I always seem to do reasonably well in this competition.
Thanks for the votes guys, and well done Keith

[theundeadhero]

How well I do in these seems to rise and fall with my current popularity level, but whatever.

[Rodarian]

Well I voted for Proto in the finals! But Congrats to Keith!!!!! Woo Hoooo!!!


One day my Name shall be in the Fame list!! Just wait you see!!

:D XD

[Del Murder]

I sadly missed your presence in this thread, Del, knowing you were usually sometimes vocal in this kind of competition threads at EoFF.
Yeah I kept forgetting to particpate because I don't check GC that often. Which is too bad because I would have loved the opportunity to shove Shoeless Hobo's missing shoe down BoB's throat.

[Ouch!]

Oh hey. I completely forgot about this. Damned midterms. Grats to the winner. See you all in the spring. I'm considering that bit about the acid pit seriously.
