We had a forum for half a month, someone deserves something! (January POTM)

[on:]

I nominate:

futurefreak
soylentOrange
winna

[Reply #1 on:]

SOS
Nutmeg
Bend-err
Xanfor
Gopher

They embraced the love that dare not speak its full seventeen-syllable name.

[Reply #2 on:]

totalnerduk
SoS
futurefreak

The first two for their rather brilliant uses of forms of poetry, and futurefreak because I've been meaning to nominate her for a while now, and she collects beanie babies - automatic awesome for me.

Nutmeg: your reason for nomming me mad me smile

[Reply #8 on:]

No votes for me again this month?....alright, I'll try this:
The first 3 people to nominate me get my nominations!

1)
2)
3)

[Reply #9 on:]

Desperation, thy name is Free Hot Meal!

[Reply #10 on:]

Ah yes, the usually unspoken desire of all PEELers to win POTM. Shutting up about it worked for me, shutting up about it for 2 and half years that is.

[Reply #11 on:]

I don't know how I ran across it, but I saw one POTM in which Svip, running it, did basically the same thing...though his was more of a, "nominate me, or don't nominate at all!"

yea, I figure once I win once, I'll care about it just as much as you do.  Since all of the current regular posters have won at least once, I guess I just want to be part of the club.  After that, who cares.

[Reply #12 on:]

I never cared about winning, though I was happy when I did. Because there's nothing like seeing people pick you over everyone else. Or you know... the other people in the poll

Nah, I jest, honestly, I just participate for things like this, when everyone who hasn't won so clearly wants to win.

I suppose this should be in here somewhere.

Fixed!  Last month was Nutmeg's 2nd win.

[Reply #16 on:]

August 2010 was also my 2nd win, just so you can fix again...

[Reply #17 on:]

Ok, corrected on the post.

[Reply #18 on:]

I don't know how I ran across it, but I saw one POTM in which Svip, running it, did basically the same thing...though his was more of a, "nominate me, or don't nominate at all!"

The secret to winning POTM is simple. Either make posts of such stunning quality and such proliferation as to make God himself weep, or convince people that you don't want to win, and that doing so would make you cry. Then call them all dicks.

People will nominate and vote for you in droves, because PEELers are evil.

Seriously though, you're not going to win POTM for at least six years.

I didn't do that. Although I did make a fake account to vote for myself if it ever came to the wire, which it turned out I didn't need.

I did neither. Did I do something wrong?

Is this real life? Where am I? What can I do to make it all go away!?


No I'm not going to kill myself.

[Reply #21 on:]

The secret to winning is not caring!?  ic
I guess I need to be more like the guy sitting down:



Or winna could have his 50 fake accounts all vote for me.

[Reply #22 on:]

I'd vote for you, if you'd promise to do the one thing that only a woman can do properly for a man.

Yes, I'm talking about my ironing.

[Reply #23 on:]

I nominate tnuk.

I guess for next month.

It's true.  I was forcefully banned one month, so that I could not use my powers and influence to prevent myself from winning PotM.

Because Poster of the Month is about Facebook!

[Reply #25 on:]

facebook Poster, duh

[Reply #26 on:]

I must be a total jerk, because I didn't notice anything remarkable about TNUK's FB postings last month.

Also, add me to your fb SoS

tnuk ~ salvos of sneaky seventeen syllable (non) sonnets

futurefreak ~ always injecting humor, wit, and clever commentary, and 'cause Beanie Babies once helped me find a long lost (decades) relative

-mArc- ~ repeatedly rescuing all of our posts, over and over, having likely spent 50-100 hours last month just rescuing Peel from the clutches of gremlins

You mean remind you of your humanity in a way only a women could?
Or I could dye my hair instead of not looking in a box.

Ahahaha is THAT who you are...I know most of the PEELer names on there but sometimes I'll add one of you because the mutual friends we have in common are PEELers.

[Reply #36 on:]

Add me while you're at it too SoS.

[Reply #37 on:]

Current tallies (modesty forbids me from tallying the staggering number of nominations I received):


futurefreak        5
El-Man               2
[-mArc-]             2
winna                2
SOS                   3
Nutmeg1729     3
Bend-err           4
Xanfor               2
Gopher              2
seattlejohn       3
SpaceMaN         2

I think we have our poll... I'll sit this one out, I think. It'd be unfair to the other contestants if I simply won by 100% landslide.

Single nominations received for:

hobbitboy
soylentOrange
Tachyon
The Ghost of Books
Innanimate Carbon Rod
morgan
javier

[Reply #38 on:]

You got 8.

Now stop being modest, you know you want to do something that at least resembles a happy dance.

Besides, doesn't Spaceman have to make the poll?

And if people are being left out, leave me out. I've won twice in the last four months. I know I'm awesome but my head may inflate to a disproportionate size if someone happens to vote for me.

[Reply #39 on:]

Well, yeah, Spaceman makes the poll. It's his decision, but there are twelve qualifying posters otherwise, and precious few regulars left to have their say at nominations.
