POTY Rundown -VOTE CLOSED!

[StreetCowboy]

I was concerned at the level of personal remarks made last year. To try and maintain a bit of decorum, can I suggest that we use numbers rather than names, and only reveal the names of the candidates after the election?

Actually, to avoid hurting the feelings of the runners-up, perhaps we only reveal the name of the winner after the election.

That's the way secret ballots are normally run, isn't it?

SC

Remember this is just the pruning stage of the nominations. The previous thread did have poster of the year in the title. As I admit this one should have. So we got all the names we were going to get. And also a number of fine posters declined to run. So tomorrow night there will be a new thread with a proper title and we can campaign to have it running in the general forum.

All good OP.You have done a fine job.

Agreed, and in recognition he will receive a Trans CD vol 2 through the post...

But, he won't give me his address...............

Can I have a copy of Vols 1 and 2 please Trans?

They are great for scaring birds from the vege garden.

More VOTING PRODDING REQUIRED.

I am here to help (again):

Bump Voting Stimulator

Folks: Here's the deal.

This is a RUNOFF where the top 20 contenders for

POSTER OF THE YEAR 2015

are selected. By you, the voters.

You can vote for as many members as you like, but you are required to vote for AT LEAST one in each section to record any votes.

Later on, you will be able to CHANGE YOUR VOTES, which adds excitement to the contest when nearing the deadline.

After the TOP 20 CONTENDERS are chosen, then it's off to the NEXT PHASE of this edge of your seat tournament.

Y'all have fun.

I notice a trend here that echoes previous years. For goodness sake it is a poll to select the poster of the year and not a popularity contest.

pollnoun UK /pəʊl/ US /poʊl/

› [C] a ​study in which ​people are ​asked for ​their ​opinions about a ​subject or ​person:We're ​carrying out/​conducting a poll to ​find out what ​people​think about ​abortion.

Nah I dont get it ,can you explain with a picture or a song maybe?

[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!

[Jingthing]

connda, apparently we're just not that into you.

There's always NEXT year.

[Ron19]

Not much action on here today

[uptheos]

Why do I have the feeling that something that was made relatively simple yesterday by Ron, is now starting to look complicated again?

why do i get the feeling that jingthing just cant leave well enough alone?

he had every opportunity to step up and administer this farce and did not,

now he seems to be intent to exert his influence one way or another.

if the past is any indicator, the high point of this exercise will be jingthing losing his sh*t, despite protestations that he is not involved.

bring it on

I liked the bit where he pretended to be pleased that someone else had taken charge.

Who is in charge??

We're an anarcho-syndicalist commune! We're taking turns to act as a sort of executive-officer-for-the-week--But all the decisions of that officer 'ave to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting--By a simple majority, in the case of purely internal affairs--But by a two-thirds majority, in the case of more major..........

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.

My crew are just revving up, our songs will be released here soon for our WOW factor......

I've never been asked to sing again after my last effort undertaken following 6 bottles of it.

[Patsycat]

Sorry, my wifi was down for a while. Unplugging it, doing the dishes, plugging it back in works!!

I shall re do my voting later on today.

Thai Visa News forum would be the place to put it.

Sensational POTY vote goes to the wire!

[chiang mai]

Just wanted to say and let you know I'm still deciding, am almost there but you know how it is.

[Jingthing]

The drama should/could intensify as we get to the later stages.

Another reason that I strong suggest a further NARROWING down to a TOP 5 from the TOP 20 being determined now.

More focus, more excitement.

POTY should be In General rather than this deep south section

I know, I know...If I win I just can't make up my mind what song to sing to you ALL...

I second this idea....I was too lazy to implement this kind of thing in past years but it would be cutthroat I reckon.

When do we get to the weeping and gnashing of teeth?

I'm on my sixth funny cigarette here and there is no pizza chef so it might be very soon.

[sipi]

This is far too pleasant for a POTY thread.

Aren't we supposed to be posting photos of kittens and babies? And where are the 3am drunken rants and phobic slurs?

"Tyranny of the majority" = Democracy

And lest my fellow Americans forget, our country was established as a Republic, not a Democracy. There are good reasons why.

yet another reason this ship needs an experienced Captain at the helm...to guide it successfully into muddy waters.
