Poster of the year competition

[upside]

I've heard this exists on this fine forum.

 

Is it true ? 

 

How do you decide who wins it and what do they get ?

Give it a miss.

Jingthing will win it.He's like Hilary Clinton, he has connections everywhere, and the ballot boxes sometimes vanish for a few minutes. Nancy and her infamous cat are the only contenders, with perhaps Transam as a dark horse, and a few years ago, there was a promising young candidate, but he disappeared after a few men in black paid him a visit.

 

The current title holder has the media in his pocket, and he's not about to let anyone take away his crown.

Yes, it is true. Nancy will be along in a minute to explain all about this wonderful, self-serving 'award'.

Jingthing, who has about a million posts.

[geronimo]

There is talk about JT being involved with the Rothschild and Morgan families, and he is otherwise known as "he who must be obeyed".

Might pay to check last year's result.

Nancy L made a spirited attempt to dethrone JT, but although she has the northern vote, the rich elite were never going to let a cat loving CM resident win the coveted TVPOTY Award.

 

There are rumours online that wikileaks is about to reveal confidential emails that are connected with the mysterious disappearance of Nancy's cat a few years ago.

[SoiBiker]

How is it decided? People vote.

 

What do they get? Laughed at.

[geronimo]

Apparently there is a video online that shows JT shapeshifting, but I couldn't find it. Guess it got took down.

Oh much more than that Sir! The winner gets to be involved in underhand activities where large amounts of money change hands, and the voting is done by a poll thread. The security is dubious, and Nancy L has hinted that there might have been some ballot box interference, but nothing can be proven. I'm sure JT will be along shortly to confirm all this.

You mean JT's been toppled?

Might be better if you did check last year's result, JT wasn't entered.

That must have been due to his modesty, as I cannot imagine JT not making the cut. He probably feels that the limelight is for others, and prefers to be in the background, quietly going about making the world a better place for us all. Bless him!

[geronimo]

According to my search, Nancy L just pipped Transam, with Village Farang in 3rd (He's worthy of the title btw)

[geronimo]

And it is fast approaching that time of the year again (I nominate VF)

[geronimo]

And Mr. Toad of course.

I second Mr. Toad.

[impulse]

Since the demographics of Thailand Expats are heavily skewed toward dirty old men, the hurdles incumbent on members of the fair gender seeking glory and accolades seem pretty unfair.

 

I propose a King and Queen of the Posters.  (or, one year it may have been the Queen and Queen, but that's getting too convoluted)

I propose for Ron19 and geronimo to get a room and figure it all out. :-)

Ron19 is a Mod, he has figured everything out! The 19 isn't his age, it's how many times he's been round the world.

Is "'round the world" a euphemism?

Unfortunately, I am not that familiar with Ron19 to answer that question, but looking at his post count and avatar, I'd say he's seen his share of lamp posts.

The post count is only half of what it was, around the same amount disappeared when one thread I started vanished off the face of the earth during the forum upgrade.

And there was me thinking you had one way or another "earned" double the likes compared to your post count.

I too, was impressed with that.

Was it about a farmer's daughter who ended up rich?
