TransFans Newbie Of The Year Awards 2004 - Semifinal 3

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.

TransFans Newbie Of The Year Awards 2004 - Semifinal 3

Post by Predabot » Tue Jan 18, 2005 7:33 pm

Very well, this round is a bit different from the rest, as basically, it collects all the rags and leftovers from the previous two Semifinals, that is, as in the trash that was most acceptable, and got in seconds. :oops:

This is your last chance, your last opportunity to show everyone what your worth, for the winner awaits the furious()ly glorius Cagematch of the final Round. :twisted:

The rules are a bit different this time, since it's imperative to have a winner quickly this poll will only run for 5 days, instead of 7 as the previous ones, and naturally, there is no such thing as a second place, you have to win or it's the high-way.

Should the horror of a tie take place I will take in consideration that both will go on to the Final Round Cagematch but only if there is a strong popular demand for such a thing.

Now let's get it on! :twisted:

EDIT: Already there's a few votes, and I think it's obvious wich two contestants are going to dominate this round. XD

EDIT2: The poll is over, and because of popular demand(??) there are two winners! Optimus Prime Rib & Unique Ron! Stay tuned for the final cagematch later tonight! :D

His name was Optimus Prime Rib

Because I am a big TF fan and I am also in restaurant management. At the time I had him I was a grill cook and cut alot of Prime Rib (I still do every other weekend.. damn hourly management)

He also ate anything that we threw away at the end of the night from the prime scraps. Half Chow Half Pit...

Maybe he held a grudge because of the far to complex name you gave him? All the other doggies probably teased him about it. :oops:

Pred has a point for once. It's like naming your kid, you have to stand on the porch and shout it repeatedly for five minutes, then see how it turns out.

Ah, but with a kiddo at least you're either using just the first name or a "cutsie" version thereof. If it's the full name being yelled out, usually it's because he or she is in trouble. Least round these parts it is.

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.

I just called him "Prime" when I wasnt calling him "Demon spawn from the pit of hell". You know how they say 'A dog wont use the bathroom where they sleep? BS! I would put him in his kennel and he would IMMEDIATELY ***** all over it. every-damn-day. EVIL!!

and the Prime's Rib thing was a nice bonus :)

There's only one place for an animal like that... ...outside.

Man, as sad as it was to lose them all sometimes I'm rather happy I no longer have any pets*.


*That is until the kiddo comes to an age where he wants one. [composite word including 'f*ck'] ALL!

The poll is over, two days ago. I'm a putz. Well it would appear as if Unique Ron won this round. :eek: So, really the people have spoken, he's going straight to the finale. Or is he? If there's an outcry for a recount or for a both he and Optimus Prime Rib I will make it so. Final Cagematch to follow shortly. :twisted:

RECOUNT!!! There is strong evidence that some Decepticon voters were disenfranchised.

Also, my legal team found the ballots themselves to be quite misleading, especially among my elderly supporters.

Seriously though, Rib, Ron, and Mob will make a good final, even though I've never seen an Unique Ron post.

I would give Mob the edge, except he got rid of his Gollum avatar, which is lame!! So it's a toss up.

Why shouldn't he be?

I voted for him on the criteria that he brought everybody together in unified hatred. Thus strengthening the community and bringing us all closer to nirvana.

Or somesuch nonsense.

Actually, that's not why I voted, but if my real reason hadn't existed, that would be the case. Possibly.
Grrr. Argh.

Ah, I love the smell of democracy in the morning.

Maybe we should have another poll to decide whether Rib should go through tho the next round? Or perhaps we should take this before the Transfans Supreme Court, because I sure as hell can't understand these hanging-chad ballots.

The result stands! Unless the people in charge of deciding whether the result stands don't like the result, in which case it is only fair that a recount is staged, otherwise I'll take my ball home and tell my mummy that you hit me.
Grrr. Argh.

i have a novel suggestion - why don't we heve a recount, but rather than use the poll functionality people have to actually posttheir preference.

I have no idea why i think that would be vaguely revealing... cough.

Of course we could put them both through to the final... I mean, if there are going to be three people, why not make it four?

[/helpful]

[EDIT] Making people post their preferences would just lead to arguments and people being affronted that somebody they like voted for another person ahead of them... it's a disaster waiting to happen...

There's only one option left: We just need to cut to the meat of the matter and have a poll to see if we should have a poll concerning whether or not we should have another poll.

:eek: It's cirkus time. If anyone wonders why it takes such time for me to reply, it's because my internet has been shut down, because of some f*cking mishap with the payments (wich I have done, eeeeveerry month.. :x ). I'm currently thinking about Best Firsts suggestion, on the other hand Brendocon has a point too...
