POTY Rundown -VOTE CLOSED!

[Jingthing]

Looks like TIE BREAKING is probably gonna happen.

The ACTION is in the LOWER NUMBERS.

Gentlemen, place your baits.

I'm polishing my flipping coins.

BTW, it was a pain in the butt making that list.

Can someone write an app for that?

[connda]

Like running for the Student Council in High School, this looks to be a bit of a closed-shop. Those in the know, nominating those in the know.

I don't see my name in the list. Hummm. And I though I had all the qualifications to be a POTY mouth.

Oh well, what the hell. Some of us are just destined to tread-water, infinitely, in the blogosphere of our own obscurity.

C'est la vie!

Is there a section that covers all sections?

Please provide link, otherwise the POTY thread will continue to run in the same section as previous years.

For next year, I nominate connda.

Thanks for the 'tip o' the hat'? Where should I send your case of Chang? Lol

[Jingthing]

You vill vote now and you vill like it!

[smokie36]

I am not impressed with those who boast how little they know about ThaiVisa and other posters. It is embarrassing how focussed people are on their own little fiefdoms and their egos. The pettiness, the putdowns and the constant bickering, along with the lowbrow toilet humor make this a very disturbing topic to read through. I can see why those who are not directly involved may not have the stomach for it.

I'm disappointed you never commented on my photo.

I was quite happy with that one.

Sorry I missed that lovely photo. I was out on my bike most of the day and when I got back there were so many posts I just skimmed through them very quickly and missed your photo. I am assuming that is yours and that it is not recent. Correct me if I am wrong.

Taken yesterday evening in Trang.

[CharlieH]

Can someone please post who is now running this ?

JT not answering PM's?

Thanks.

[SoiBiker]

I don't think anyone is. It's pretty much descended into chaos.

[Crazy chef 1]

Life in the House of Poll Lords will suit you JT....I'm enjoying a beer now while I decide between the ravioli lobster and surf and turf while watching the sunset over the islands.

Sure beats sweating over the poll!

You are surely too long here...it is lobster ravioli and not ravioli lobster...

[Fabricus]

I don't think anyone is. It's pretty much descended into chaos.

You're the guy I referred to earlier as Admiral Cyclist.

Please -- do what needs to be done: announce the coup. Everyone will support you.

That would certainly be a first.

I didn't start this current poll but I have set the plan going forward as follows:

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/878367-poty-rundown/page-10#entry10196767

As far as I'm concerned, that's the plan which I intend to implement, unless some other member decides to take over (a coup) or some kind of directive from management. (They who must be obeyed.)

Yes canuckamuck (who started this current poll) and I have communicated about this already and he is good with not implementing the later polling.

I will add there is a strong feeling here that the polls going forward should be allowed to stay in the GENERAL FORUM.

The DEADLINE for this current poll is Thursday December 17 at midnight.

Then we will have our TOP 20 members.

If there is to be a change of plan and/or implementer before then, it would be beneficial for that to happen BEFORE that date and time.

Because if not, I will go forward as per the plan.

That might be your pipe dream but actually there is a very organized, clear, and comprehensive plan in place.

Where are Ban Nork and Digital Banana who do a sterling job in the music section?

Are we being handicapped for frequenting lesser forums?

Is this poll handicapped?

Sadly you missed the NOMINATION phase.

It lasted for a number of days but that ship has sailed.

Better luck next year.

Maybe an element of the US football draft should be introduced?

Over to you JT!

[Jingthing]

That wouldn't be at all fair to those with the top 20 votes in this current runoff. There are only 20 places in the next poll. That's it. End of story.

I meant with respect to their position on the poll list....always a point of contention.

If you are going to do it alphabetically that will raise some eyebrows.....

I always did it in order that the nominations came in....I await this next phase with interest.

[Jingthing]

Too late for new nominations period.

[sipi]

Only 15 minutes to go until the next phase. The excitement is killing me.

[CharlieH]

JT has things planned out, it seems to be running fairly smoothly, and given his previous win an ideal candidate to progress this forward as he is neutral.

There will be no coup, too late in the day with this round nearly concluded, it's in everyone's best interest to let JT continue and see it through.

When we are down to the final runners it can be moved to General for completion of this years contest.

[Jingthing]

Thank you to the Thaivisa.com management.

Again, the VOTING continues on this current POTY RUNOFF phase where the TOP 20 members will be determined to go into the SEMIFINALS.

The deadline for this current phase is:

Thursday 17 December at Midnight

In other words, TODAY is the last chance for those with lower vote counts to nudge their way into the TOP 20.

Tell your friends. Tell your family. Buy the beers. Do what it takes. The steaks (sic) couldn't be any lower!

This is smoothly?

I can't wait till it gets rough.

So there are 12 people in your top 20.

I take it all back. You're clearly doing a great job.

What would I win if you thought I was doing a great job? For you to post fewer snark attacks? Oh boy!

I think it becomes a new ball game, it should but I'm not sure.

[StreetCowboy]

In the next round, do we have to appear in ball gowns and swimming costumes? Separately, or at the same time?

Edit: Sorry - forgot to add: Riga

Glad I went to bed early and got a good night's sleep. Things still look fine here.

I've got a big Expats Ladies Lunch today. More time to campaign. You won't believe how many ladies lurk on ThaiVisa, but don't post (out of fear of shark attacks) Even about what should be benign topics like "where to find a dry cleaner in Chiang Mai" Even those type of topics can get ugly. They admire my ability to hold my own against the ugly boys in those rough and tumble controversial subjects.

Ah I'm glad you popped by as I wanted to ask....what's been your biggest contribution to world peace?
