You could open a "runners topic" those who wish to run can post there manifesto in that topic, those that support put a "like" and only a "like", nothing negative.

The most likes at the end is the winner, but remember likes can be removed at anytime too ! 

 

Just a suggestion, might work better than a poll and give the runners a platform to promote and gather support.

[geronimo]

I nominate Nyezhov, a witty character who often elicits a giggle when I read his posts!

[sipi]

Yeah Gecko123. The Author from Norther.

 

"The one who keeps leaving" narrows it down to a few dozen.

[geronimo]

and the new commentator is ...........?

[sipi]

Looks like you're it Geronimo.

Unless you don't want to be commentator and POTY nominee all in one.

There's a conflict of interest, and in the highly unlikely event I crossed the line first, there would be howls of corruption and fixed! We could always ask a previous winner, after all, they cannot enter the race. I wonder if Colin would be available?

Nominations:

 

Bluesofa - consistently funny, incisive & accurate.

Will27 - contributions to "What Movies".

Nyezhov - great stories, well written, & very funny.

Geronimo - again, great stories.

NCC 1701A - for his outstanding work!!!

 

Could we also have a BSOTY - or are there too many?

[geronimo]

Having just read the small print in my contract, it appears I can commentate right up to the starting gun being fired. I shall compile a list of nominated POTY runners in due course, and generally do what I can to raise a few titters as we prepare for what will hopefully be a classic contest!!!!

and I see no reason why a member can't win it more than once!

POTY?

[geronimo]

Contestants will all be checking that they never invited Prince Andrew to any social events ......

Actually, this isn't the voting stage, rather we are nominating contestants, and those names will be noted, thank you.

No, POTUS !   555

Somehow the media have got wind that we are preparing for this year's contest, as there was a brief mention on CNN just now. A nice clip of Colin receiving last year's award, while shaking hands with Transam.

[geronimo]

Rumours are circulating that Time Magazine have an exclusive interview with Colin, as he nears the end of his tenure. Hopefully there'll be no behind the scenes revelations .......

I'd like to volunteer as a 'titter' please.

I'm sure you're more than qualified!!!

[geronimo]

Trans was once asked what he felt was the best thing about winning the POTY, 

 

He said not having to get a ticket at Immigration ........

Ah. I would like to nominate Sanemax and Henrik. I just cant say how much I enjoy their contributions.

Both names have gone into the hat, and if you could say how much you enjoyed their contributions, it might give them a fighting chance! Two worthy contestants for sure!

He needs to ask his Mum first.

 

[geronimo]

The list is building, the most we've ever had was that years when 69 had that awful fall, until I realised it was 96!

[geronimo]

The champagne gala dinner is really the highlight of the event, when pomp and ceremony are the order of the day. Last year, Trans had to be wheeled out in a chair, and if you think that's odd, this year's winner will also be leaving on wheels ????????????

[sipi]

And no one has lost an eye...yet...

One cat, 3 bottles of whisky and an arm are the only things gone missing so far in the history of the POTY.

[sipi]

I'll nominate Geronimo. Just to stop him being MC again this year and nearly getting suspended again.

I do, i saw the true side of some posters/ posers on here after i was P.O.T.Y.

The hatred/ bile, disgusting things a handful of jealous members posted were disgusting.

There's no gain without pain.
