The Spring (!) '11 Screen Name Competition

[Ouch!]

I would like to clarify that I picked up the tournament from Proto who then picked it back up from me when I got lazy. I forget who Proto picked it up from (if anyone!).

I'm still lazy, by the way.

[Timekeeper]

Oh god, why does your title say that? That's painful to read.

[Hollycat]

I cant read the first page of this thread, if someone could copy and paste the tournament list I would be much obliged

Um, why?

[Carl the Llama]

So I lied. The copypasta looked delicious, but I don't want to wait that long to get this thing underway. First up, more copypasta in the form of rules!

Ahem...

The rules!

48 hours to get your votes in, folks! Also, in case you're wondering (Proto), the order was decided by way of random list generator. That's why Proto has Mikeneko Rocker -- Tim first up

The Eyes on Final Fantasy Spring Screen Name Competition is proudly sponsored by the Poké Party.

There you go HC~ I btw, have voted ^^

[Melissaur]

Voted!

[Iceglow]

I notice a lot of highly inactive posters in this competition such as The Shoeless Hobo when many a more active member is left out. I'm not afraid of taking BoB's wrath when I say theres far more deserving members on this forum than that tired, tatty old hobo to being in this competition. Thanks to the huge amount of campaigning for it that name has won just how many times? It isn't even that good a name, I'm pretty sure we had this discussion last time about the name being in the competition too.

Perhaps a change in the rules so that if you have won or come runner up in x many screen name competitions over the last 4 or 5 competitions you're automatically removed from entry to the competition in favour of shaking things up and making things more interesting. If people really are that big a deal we can have a Screen Name of Screen Names competition once a year where the only entrants are those who have won a Screen Name competition. (would need an exclusion rule like if you won the screen name of screen names competition 2 times running you're excluded from winning in the 3rd year) idk, this is just me musing aloud here or not so aloud if you get the fact that I'm sitting here silently striking away at my keyboard. I'm just a little fed up of seeing the same old screen names crop up all the time, in particular that one "The Shoeless Hobo" which is tbqh mediocre at best (not saying I've got a better name, just pointing out it's really not that great) which seems to infest and through controversy or bias wins so often.

[Hollycat]

You just dont want me to make top 4 again.

I voted

thanks KD

[Jiro]

Well, you have less than 33 hours to send in your votes. The rounds tend to go fast with only 48 hours to vote.

You just can't help it, can ya? You can take over if you've got the itch!

Btw I took this list from users who have posted in the past two months. The Shoeless Hobo hasn't posted in the past two months, but I gave him my position. Shameful that none of you noticed I was missing!

EDIT: That's what I came here for. All of these divisions are tight races. We have a couple stand out performances, including three names who are on a perfect streak. I still want to see more votes though! Just over 24ish hours until we wrap this first round up my friends!

EDIT2: The Shoeless Hobo has never won a screen name competition. Any names that win are automatically excluded from subsequent competitions. Face, despite currently having a different face, was excluded, as was Mo-Nercy despite dropping his third power. Runners up are still eligible to win, however Naomi the Insane who was runner up last time has not been seen since.

We can run a championship round when there are more names.

[qwertysaur]

Death By Moogles also changed his name to Mogi

I noticed your name was missing, but I figured you remover your name for someone elses.

[Jiro]

Ah yes, Mogi! See I think he could win again with that name, but gotta give everyone a chance!

[Jessweeee♪]

Perhaps a change in the rules so that if you have won or come runner up in x many screen name competitions over the last 4 or 5 competitions you're automatically removed from entry to the competition in favour of shaking things up and making things more interesting.

And be second place forever? Laaaaaaame.

[Agent Proto]

ShlupQuack was runner-up a few times. If there were to be some sort of screen name championship competition with winners only, she would be eligible to join that.

[Jiro]

Still looking for more votes! There aren't any ties at the moment, but nearly every race is looking at a one-vote difference!

[Timekeeper]

I'm just a little fed up of seeing the same old screen names crop up all the time

Agreed, everyone should vote for me in protest!


Actually, vote for Evastio, his name is brilliant
