Rise of the PEELers - POTM POLL June 2014

[on:]

Light poll this month, ten different nominations (if you count Hein's "svip"), only 5 with more than one nomination.

[Reply #1 on:]

I voted for Nasty Pasty for obvious reasons.

[Reply #2 on:]

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos Mr Snrub Kodos No, I mean, Mr Snrub. That's it.

[Reply #3 on:]

I voted for Nasty Pasty for obvious reasons.

I voted for Snrub for less obvious reasons

[Reply #4 on:]

I'll vote for Tachyon. He was the only that stood out to me anyway.

[Reply #5 on:]

I went for Tachyon

[Reply #6 on:]

NOBODY VOTE FOR ME, please!

Everyone vote for Nasty!  What he accomplished was phenomenal. And even though I haven't been here even four years, I enjoyed a taste of the nostalgia, seeing so many Elder Gods return.

VOTE

FOR

NASTY PASTY

P.S.  If anyone else votes for me, God will kill a kitten!

[Reply #7 on:]

In order to reduce the kitten population, I voted for Tachyon.

[Reply #8 on:]

NOBODY VOTE FOR ME, please!

P.S.  If anyone else votes for me, God will kill a kitten!

But I voted for you before you posted this! 

[Reply #9 on:]

I hate cats anyway.

Show spoiler

[Reply #10 on:]

But I voted for you before you posted this! 

You missed the "else".  So, no worries: the kittens are safe

[Reply #11 on:]

I won't give in to the higher power terrorism!
I mean: sorry, too late.

[Reply #12 on:]

Haha, I hope you win Tachyon just to see you be pissed about it.

[Reply #13 on:]

Also voted for Tachyon. Because others did so, too, and he already won POTM in the past

[Reply #14 on:]

You're all evil.  You know that, right? 

[Reply #15 on:]

You're all evil.  You know that, right? 

You know I am German...Zatz how ve are!

[Reply #16 on:]

Don't....cry....in front of the fish!

[Reply #17 on:]

In my opinion, Tachy deserves it as much as Nasty Pasty does. So who got my vote? Nasty Pasty.
But you will get my vote next time, Tachyonicles. Ohyes.

[Reply #18 on:]

Don't....cry....in front of the fish!

I actually remember that quote from the first few minutes of one of the American Dad episodes I've tried watching!

Also, I voted for you.

That's like saying Cheech and Chong deserved the Nobel Peace Prize as much as Gandhi did.  Not comparable.  All I did was post a few marginally-witty replies (and occasional cute kittens).  Nasty travelled repeatedly across vast reaches of time and and space and organized Peelers from multiple eras (more difficult than getting Time Lords to cooperate) and brought back scores of them to present-day Peel, if only for a few days.

Perspective, Grasshopper.  Perspective.

I say that all the time. It's practically a catchphrase now.

Let's not kid ourselves. He started a Facebook event, invited all the PEEL friends he already had on Facebook, and started a thread. Noble, but not difficult.

He also didn't post that frequently throughout the month.

[/devil's advocate]

[Reply #22 on:]

There goes another kitten!

[Reply #23 on:]

Umm... what happened to this?

[Reply #24 on:]

Presumably the results will automatically appear within the next few hours, given the date of the poll's creation.

[Reply #25 on:]

...Noble, but not difficult.

[/devil's advocate]

Tim Berners-Lee puttered around with a hypertext protocol and had the idea to implement it across nodes on a computer network.  Interesting, but not particularly difficult. But he had the vision in the first place, and brought it to life.  That's the key, to me.

[Reply #26 on:]

I'd say what Berners-Lee did was maybe a bit more difficult, and perhaps required a bit more knowledge and effort...

Obviously I liked what Nasty did a lot, and I totally understand why people voted for him. I guess or the sake of this contest I personally just put more value in actual posts made on the board by the nominee though, and I would imagine that's why quite a few people voted for you or other nominees as well.

Anyway, congrats Pasty!

[Reply #27 on:]

Damn, Josh. What crawled up your ass and made you so protective of the board's post value? Was is easy what I did? Sure, but it made a lot of people happy to see old friends again and brought some life back to PEEL for a change.

Does that make a me worthy of the Nobel Prize? Hell no. PoTM? Probably.

Also, thanks for the votes, people. Much love, PEEL.

[Reply #28 on:]

Except for Josh?

[Reply #29 on:]

I'm not letting him crash on my couch anymore, you can be sure of that!

[Reply #30 on:]

Congrats, Nasty, and thanks much for the whole reunion thing.  Josh is part cyborg and often has spasms of purely logical thinking.  He obviously meant no offence, and later today when the human part of his brain gets back in control he'll be wracked with pain, confusion, and angst which can only be assuaged by rare herbs from a temple in Tibet.

As for the people who voted for me?  10 9 8 7 kittens were killed.  I hope you're happy.  In partial penance, you must watch the following video...

Which I cannot find at the moment...

[edit]  Well, you're very lucky that I can't find the video.  So here's Schmoo's story in text and photos, instead.

[Reply #31 on:]

Damn, Josh. What crawled up your ass and made you so protective of the board's post value?

I hate you, obviously.

But seriously, not quite sure if you read my post or not:

Obviously I liked what Nasty did a lot, and I totally understand why people voted for him.
Anyway, congrats Pasty!

Does that really sound like I thought you didn't deserve to win? I think you did, I was just explaining why myself or others might have voted for someone else (like Tachy, who posted frequently throughout the month with much value) and why we're not totally crazy for doing so. As for downplaying what you did, I thought I was being pretty clearly joking, poking fun at Tachy's overexaggeration of your ability to make the stars align.  I wasn't at all legitimately saying that what you did wasn't as awesome as it was. There is a sense of humor buried in here somewhere, you know.

In other words, chill out folks.

He obviously meant no offence, and later today when the human part of his brain gets back in control he'll be wracked with pain, confusion, and angst

Fuck off. I can mean as much offense as I like.

[Reply #32 on:]

Josh, you should know by now that people on this board start out joking while blowing things out of proportion by taking insignificant things way too seriously. Then they begin to actually believe the bullshit coming out of their mouths. It's a terminal condition known to science as spending way too much time on Internet message boards.

I mean, just look at TNUK...

[Reply #33 on:]

FUCK. YOURSELF.

And congratulations.

KHAAAANNN! Nah, I didn't really deserve this POTM, nor did I ask for it. Thanks a lot, randi!

But on a more serious note, congratulations Nasty! You deserved this win for sure.

[Reply #35 on:]

FUCK. YOURSELF.

And congratulations.

 

[Reply #36 on:]

Congratajorb there!

[Reply #37 on:]

Hah!

Congratulations, Mr. Pasty.
