Award Guy
Oh, aye, ban Award Guy, that's really going to happen. I don't know what drugs the people who nominated a shared staff account for this were on, but hot damn do I ever want some. The day after Award Guy is banned, expect Richard Dawkins to convert to Islam.
Bolivar
How the deuce did Bolivar get even one nomination for this? I looked at his post history and saw almost exclusively nice comments and Bolivar sticking up for people and things that were getting slammed. Did multiple people just pick their MLT Get Banned nominations by randomly throwing names from the first few pages of the members list in a hat and pulling one out? In what way is Bolivar even the slightest bit likely to make someone moderately annoyed, let alone ticked off enough to warrant a ban? Everyone who nominated or voted for Bolivar should seek the aid of a professional psychiatrist immediately.
Cuchulainn
Well, here's a name that's at once expected and totally disappointing on this list. Hey, do you remember that time somebody got ticked off because Cuch said something mean to them? No, neither do I and that's because it's never freaking happened. Cuchulainn may say mean things, but he picks targets who not only can take the joke, but are amused by it, and he does so with an accuracy bordering on precognitive. If some overzealous rules nazi ever tries to ban Cuch for insulting someone, they'll find that the party so insulted will be the first one to leap to Cuch's defence. In fact, he can be quite nice at times, although he will add in a half-arsed grumpy comment at the end in order to stay in character. Everyone who nominated or voted Cuch for MLT Get Banned should be ashamed of yourself, for he is a prince among men.
Vote him for Nicest Member instead. That'll annoy the crap out of him.
Hypoallergenic Cactuar
Again with the nominations seemingly at random. HC has not only never done anything banworthy, he's a consistent participant in the forum events that keep EoFF more interesting than virtually every other forum out there whose general chat equivalents are filled with inane topics like "what's your favourite soap?" HC is friendly, outgoing, and frequently entertaining. Sure, his highly random sense of humour is hit-and-miss at times, but if you want to ban everyone who sometimes makes jokes that don't work, I'm for the high jump too, along with literally every staff member in the history of time, 99.9% of the memberlist, and George freakin' Carlin. If someone does at any point ban HC, they'll immediately come to their senses and unban him after their next application of Preparation H.
Iceglow
Seriously, Iceglow getting banned? Never going to happen. I see Iceglow getting picked on a bunch, and he never reacts adversely and frequently laughs right along with everyone else. How are you going to provoke Iceglow into doing something banworthy? Set him on fire while orally violating his grandma? Because that's what it would take. Iceglow is more likely to get Knighted than banned and everyone who voted for him is mad.
Innes
Another member I had to look up in the member list and check recent posts for a reason why they'd be nominated. And another member without a single post that's remotely banworthy. I feel like I'm making the same speech for every one of these candidates. I think this award is just so far down the list of nominations that people were just picking names at random. But hey, what better reason do you need to insult someone who has only ever said nice things?
Peegee
I'll admit, I do miss the old PG who was usually funny instead of posting walls of text all of the time, but banned? Maybe back in the day when he was more interested in being funny than he was in talking about American politics, but if you ban everyone who blathers on endlessly about American politics, only I will be left.
Psychotic
And back to the random and insane nominations. Psychotic getting banned is a situation that's precisely as likely as Santa Claus turning out to be real after all. Psy's never even said anything grouchy unless he was joking. Hell, I think of Psy as my own successor and I'm actually proud of him. The day Psychotic gets banned marks the beginning of the end for Eyes On Final Fantasy. I bet he nominated himself.
Tifa's Boobs
What? She joined this year and is already insanely popular. Here we have another member who is more likely to be Knighted than banned. That being said, The Man was similarly popular shortly after registering and now people like to trout on him all of the time, so maybe further down the road we'll be seeing a different person, but banned? Not going to happen.
Weimar Pluto Knight VII
Who? No, really, I looked him up in the member's list, checked recent posts, and I still have no idea who this guy is. Don't you have to stand out to get banned?
