..wait for it...............

 

 

..half a crown.

 

We will have no drawing on joints here....this is Thailand.

[Naam]

i wonder how the votes can be rigged. wasn't it decided last year that voters need a minimum of several hundred posts to prevent "new members" voting? but whatever, this contest was up to a certain stage fun and provided entertainment. now the fun is gone.

i disagree. in my[notso]humble opinion the deserving winner is "Mr. V8 Rules TransAm".

Possibly new accounts were being created using VPN's most likely and new votes being added by a single individual. What ever the answer, the voting profile looked extremely odd for a while - I'm not sure last years recommendations were all fully adopted.

a VPN can only hide the IP. what about the minimum amount of postings?

Piping back in here with an immodest proposal as follows.

If both front runners indicate they agree by midnight tonight then after 5 pm tomorrow start a new real final bonanza between the top two for 48 hours.

Doing this will wash away the issues with earlier voting when so many accidentally forfeited their voting rights by showing results before voting.

Also more time for any rigging concerns to be examined.

May the best man win and Happy New Year.
 

Those that did that are probably the same ones who also 'advise/comment' without reading what the Topic Poster actually posted ...tough  shit!

My apologies, I late edited to cover that point.

A plan is needed, I could hold him and Trans. could kick him in the dots. No wait, you hold him.

I will consider that if both are agreeable.

I disagree with your view, whilst gentlemanly and honourable it's not a fitting and proper conclusion.

 

How's about, five games of 301, winner takes all.

A lot of paranoia on this thread.  

 

I reckon Naam should win as over the years he has helped countless people with financial and practical advice.

For gods sake why didn't you come forward and say that sooner man, you'd have saved us all the problems and wasted time of holding the contest in the first place.

With respect to Naam, I think people are voting for him as a way of voting against Transam.

 

I used to do this when I was young: I voted for Maggie Thatcher because I detested Neil Kinnock.

Are you saying that Transam is detested? It appears to me that he is the forum Joker. 

 

Heath Ledger was great in that part. A painted on smile hiding a lunatic.

Nope. Transma's cool, but Naam might be cooler.

 

I quite liked NongKhaiKid, but have a feeling he may have been too cool for his own good.

 

May the coolest dude win.

Looking at the final results for last year.  I have received more than twice as many votes, which I am very happy with.  I think we will see this year's winner get more votes than last year's winner.  The results show that you don't have to go negative or manipulate the system to get participation and bring out the vote.  I think this has been a good competition and there shouldn't be any hard feelings regardless of who wins.

Dr.Naam has been one of the best posters on TVF for many a year

 

His posts do require a certain level of humour and intelligence to appreciate though. So I can understand your limited thinking LOL

Naam and T.A. have common Ground. "AIR..". One Bangs on about Air in Tires and the other about Air Con. Getting stupid is this time delay , leave it much longer and Mr Bitey will win.

No change there then, nowhere last year, same same this year, consistent if nothing else, nothing personal just an observation

As always the devil is in the details

An excellent increase in your voter base a percentage of the popular vote there I think, just reward for the photos

Maybe its the poll itself that brings out the worst in us , well some of us, some will always stand tall ready to be counted

You might FINK this has been a good competition / a bit of not so light relief  but not everyone seems to agree with you, for whatever reason / reasons

I still have high hopes for my man though not very musical myself so wont be joining in the sing - song at the end whoever wins

To end on a more serious note, I am fully expecting my black dot collection to show a marked improvement as in amount, over the coming months

Ha, ha, I told our little family that maybe next year Mr. Bitey could be a serious contender for the POTY tiara and here is the reaction from his sister:

You might be better off substituting AIR for WIND
