Not that you are jealous or owt...

such an emotion is beyond me ......

Should make it a rule that the POTY winner automatically gets 9 dots !! That should liven the competition up.

 

Forget the tiara and the pink Lycra, after all who would want the Lycra after Trans has worn them 24/7 all year [emoji848]

 

There's nothing like the POTY that brings out most of the members with their preferences, accolades and alliances to their favorite posters many of that i must admit, are well deserving of their nominations so far...

The obvious have already been nominated.

I'd like to add some old school.

Marco, Gecko, Pete from CM, Ken, Opalred and WhiteChristmas.

I'll edit this and reduce to 3 tomorrow after my afternoon nap and I have cleaned my glasses. 

I can't find a mobile member link and can't spell so... 

Marco and Pgrahmm have already been nominated but pgrahmm wasn't on the list. 

My nominees are White Christmas,  Opalred and Gecko123.

I still get a giggle out of Stratvarius opening comment in the original POTY contest 4 or 5 years ago.

I copy the names from the posts and check the profile.   I can't find White Christmas (there is a White Christmas 13) or Gecko123.

I will plan to close the nomination late tonight and post the final list and then the poll.

Gecko123 hasn't posted since October. Might have done a runner. Shame. 

Yes WhiteChristmas13 is the other chap. Always good for a laugh.

Nup not Gecko.

I don't think he knew how to swear or raise his voice. Speaks fluent Thai and lived in the North for decades.

There are a few nominees who have requested to not be a part of the contest for various reasons.   I will respect their wishes and not subject them to the scrutiny of the Thaivisa Intelligence Vetting committee.  

 

I will shortly set up the poll and close this topic.  

 

 

Scott,

would it not be a good idea to split the two groups for voting purposes, into two groups the same size? If not, a disproportional amount of votes could help people through from a smaller group, who might not have been there, if the voting was level across the field?

Hope you can keep this open long enough for the morning voters to have say in that?

Totally agree!

They will in 2 or 3 polls, in the same thread so members can vote for one in each group.

Looking at your lists I can see 4-5 in 1 list that I'd like to see in the next round and none on the other list. You may want to play with those lists a bit. Maybe consult Jingthing. He'll no what to do. 

The semi-final round is running here:
