Newbie of the Year Awards 2004 Semifinal 2! :D

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

It's time for the second batch of hope-fulls to get their shot at the glory! :) As ussual you vote for your favorit, no particular reason really, and pounce him trough to the finals.

Just like the last poll this one will go on for 1 week, no more, no less. (And this time I have acctually set the time limiter.)

EDIT: Sprunkner wins this round!! :D Yaay for him! And Shanti & Bouncelot pulls trough to semifinal 3.

Yes, what about him? I believe that it was deduced that he wasn't acctually a n00b there, and such he wasn't truly nominated. Well, lets have a look at the nomination-tapes and see for our selves:

Hmm..now lets have a lookie here then...

EDIT: AHA! Spidey revealed the little cheat as a new ID! So that's why I didn't include him..

I feel real silly now.
I do appreciate the recognition though. I showed up at TransFans looooong ago as C.R.Prime. Lost the password to that and I think access to the email address it belonged to so I restarted as Primordium. Later, here, when I inquired to someone on changing my name I was told "I don't think that's possible" which I found strange but reregistered anyway.[/end pointless-meaningless back-story]
...in defense of my character. :D

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.

The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

Hmm..yes I see, that explains a lot, thank you Senior. :) But you are still not allowed into the contest, you non-n00b. :oops:

I just voted too, :) I had a hard time choosing this time too, but not as hard as the first time. Naturally I thought of Sprunkner, since he's been one of the finer reqruits this year, but I'm afraid to say that he just doesn't do anything for me really. :(

So, naturally my thoughts went to the women, :twisted: and Heather is such a great girl and all, but I also recalled sweet little anna, with her bad grammar, and other hilarous little boundaries that language can cause. :) So anna it was! I'm afraid that she may not have much chance here, but she got my vote.

I don't know how I can NOT win, what with the sparkling write up you gave me, Preds! I mean, "eh...?"? Does that just inspire radical, fanatical devotion or what?


:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, I'm just kidding. It's a honor to be nominated, of course.

Although, I have a skeleton in my closet that I want to clear out before it comes out in the election:

Today, when I went to Target, I bought Season 4 of South Park over Windcharger and Swindle.

Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned.

One, but if it's a close call, one or two of the second tiers gets to duke it out in Semifinal3. After that we'll have 3 candidates, and the final cage-match can begin..

EDIT: Look below. | For Seniörs post.
[size=0]- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/size] v
Dually noted, however that wouldn't have mattered much, anyway, seeing as you can't nominate yourself, wether you want it or not. ;)

Let's do it again: Dually noted, however that wouldn't have mattered much, anyway, seeing as you can't nominate yourself, wether you want it or not. ;)

Note that there is only two more days left for this vote, and then we'll have finalist nr.2. It looks to be Sprunkner at the moment.

Times up! Waporising beams!

Post by Predabot » Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:26 am

Aaaannd cut. Times up, and semifinal 2 closed yesterday, or possibly two days ago. The winner for this round is Sprunkner, with Shanti418 and Bouncelot pulling another one of those close-liners that has to be settled in semifinal 3. Now then, lets post the last semifinal shall we? ;)
