Then do it again this year.

 

I ought to add that JT was very good as compère last year.

 

Who won the 2014 contest?

JT, if my memory serves me right.

I remember one contest between Blether and a guy called (I think) Tuskywarrior.

 

Blether was winning  (he'd won, in fact), and then lost. I actually logged on just before midnight and noticed "unusual activity".

 

I won't say what this "unusual activity" was, but I will say that a surprising number of this forum's moderators were online and viewing the POTY thread.

 

Needless to say these shenanigans pale in contrast to what Crooked Hilary has been up to.

 

Viva Donald Trump!

That would be Tutsiwarrior, a fine man if ever there was, and I think he's still around. The TVPOTY contest tends to corrupt candidates, and with so many members with dark pasts, it is hard to find those who are prepared to step up to the plate.

I was digging  into the history of that tpic and I found an interesting post  according to the history of the post and  the history of  the poster Fabricus  at that time wasn't a  registered poster/ member . That being the case how could Fabricus have signed in? So what was your previous posting name Fabricus and why did you change it?

It would seem  that you are indeed the keeper of many archives here regarding  other posters. That is something that is blatantly obvious in your posts concerning this current POTY. 

 

Come on don't be shy who are you backing for POTY?

The story is unfolding, Nancy has decided not to run this year, JT is too busy, so I predict a new generation of posters coming out of the woodwork to enthrall us with their witty comments. Toad will probably run (as JTs proxy) and Soi Biker is gearing up for a long campaign (with his English wife). JLCrab looks a good bet, and what ever happened to VF. I am sure we will be hearing from him soon.

 

While I am most appreciative of being included in talk of the Poster of the Year competition, I think we all know I could never win.  Think of me as an obscure third party candidate who appeals to a few dozen thoughtful, well adjusted individuals trying their best to represent civility and holdback the hordes who wish to drag us all into the gutter.  For me to do any better than third place would entail me abandoning my principles, which I am not likely to do.

Absolutely nothing wrong with winning TVPOTY, getting all arsey, and then resuming your otherwise admirably principled, sage-like, far-northern presence here after returning from a nominal suspension.

 

That's right eh tutsi?

Ha! Let's just say that Thailand attracts more than its fair share of obsessives and loonies. 

 

This from the nutcase who was searching through my facebook list the other year looking to dig up dirt on me no doubt but finding none.

 

Its all in the PM you sent me if you will remember...obsessives and loonies.

 

In over a decade of posting on internet forums I have never met anyone else as obsessive and stalking as you are.

 

There is the truth out in tbe open....Fabricus was searching through my gf's facebook account as well having been given my real name by an idiot on this forum.

 

Look after your personal info around this guy....he is properly nuts.

I was in the running both in 2014 and 2015.  JT won in 2014 after a close and "gentlemanly" contest between us.  I wouldn't characterize the 3rd and 4th place candidates as being as much fun, however.

 

Somehow the 2015 contest wasn't as much fun, but I came out on top in the end.  See the tiny tiara in my avatar.  JT didn't run and was a good commentator throughout the entire campaign.

 

But, I'm plagued with charges of scandal and corruption because some think that the disappearance of Tywais as TV moderator was due to charges of POTY vote manipulation.  And I was grooming NorthernJohn for fame as 2016 POTY when he was struck down by a stroke due to the stress of the Chiang Mai Expats Club being tossed out of River Market Restaurant for its Friday morning breakfasts by the emotional owner David the Duke's.  (David and CEC eventually kissed and made up, but sadly NorthernJohn didn't live to see the day.)

 

So, this morning when I got up, Hubby confronted me with the evidence that I'd been up late and posting on Thai Visa.  I assured him I wasn't in the race for 2016 POTY.

Well traditionally, anyone who denies they are running, usually runs, so expect an about turn in November sometime, and the draw of this prestigious contest has many people ready to toss their morals into the nearest bin, in their search for fame and fortune.

In the inner circles, it is common knowledge that Mr Bitey was acquired solely for the purpose of getting the vote from the animal loving group, and he will more than likely play a role in this year' farce election.

Posted

It should be interesting this year, there are some new candidates that seem level headed, and JT 's followers will vote for whoever he tells them to, while the morally sound VF is set to pick up many of the undecided voters, and let's not forget Soi Biker who is always there or thereabouts at the finish line. If I had one complaint, it would be that once a vote has been cast, it can be revoked and recast to another candidate, which allows for large sums of money to change hands. It does add a level of excitement to the proceedings, but ballot boxes must always be kept under lock and key, even when in transit, as it has been known for them to be tampered with.

2 quick questions:

 

How does that loosie-goosie money thing work, and how would one go about getting on the gravy train list?  

 

Just asking for a friend.

Mr NancyL is well known in certain CM circles and is generally regarded very highly, I personally have seen them both together at various points around CM many times - nothing phantom about him at all.

Just he finds it hard to get a word in.

Such is the software on a forum nowadays, a user can really get to know  a lot about another user, and I do laugh when someone gets pulled by when a member pulls up one of their previous posts, which is in total conflict with what they are saying now. Our words are set in stone, and we are even able to have certain peoples' posts sent, so we can keep track of them. I actually believe that if one had the time, and the inclination, to go through a user's posts, one would get a pretty good idea of the real person. 

So, as a voter, if you want to see behind that external image, do some searching and reading, and you'll have the measure of all of the candidates. We can never forget that very famous saying, "Nothing is as it seems" and indeed this is an appropriate comment for the awards.

Meanwhile, just so you guys can appreciate what you're missing by my not participating in the contest, here is my new favorite male model.  He's from Canada (and I wouldn't throw his owner out of bed either, too)Canadian with a cat.png

 

Bad news.  You'd be competing with JingThing...

 

But maybe you can get him to switch teams.

So going back to answering the op ,  the answer is its a load of pointless self absorbed crap the whole poster of the year competition is what i understand from the replies so far.

 

Thanks for helping clear that all up folks.

Sorry to read about NorthernJohn's passing. I helped him with a Valentine's Day message for his wife last year. He seemed like a very decent man.

How can you possibly know stress from some expat club being tossed out caused his stroke ? 

 

Also why would an owner of a food venue throw out a whole club unless you were all taking up space .

I am waiting for the Wikileaks revelations about your sordid underhand rigging of the results.

 

Shoes will fall, reputations lost, I'm only waiting to see which pseudonym Vladimir is hiding behind!

Wasn't there a gentlemans handshake on last years POTY thread that the winner compares the following years POTY competition, in which case Nancy will become the compare this year.

Personally I prefer a "thread of the year" contest. That thread years ago about the Gent visiting the psychiatric ward had me on the edge of my seat. Compelling. ..

Do you mean compare or compere? Although it might make for an interesting result if JT and Nancy compared, I wonder what they'd compare?
