    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. The Shoeless Hobo....||||\ (5)
    2. Moon Rabbits.........||||\| (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 for meto 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. 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

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

    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.

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

    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

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

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

    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.
