the OOT mods are gonna win cause of the voracity (nice word eh /images/graemlins/grin.gif) of the OOT posters.

i did put a disclaimer in the original seeding thread that said if any of the mods have a problem with this, that i have no problem with you locking it and ending the contest.

p.s. also i doubt you lose your first round match

I propose a change on the rules and have each round to last 3 days so we can get more votes, negociate with other forums , more chances for dramatic comebacks,etc.

I don't have a problem with it as far as being offended and it is obviously being done in a good natured way. But what does it really decide and will it be interesting as the rounds progress? Seems like this could get really old really fast much like that crappy ass and similar contest sexdrugsmoney tried to do.

Mat is the best moderator and commodus is cool because of the mystery surrounding his identity and how he rose to power. But we already knew that.

Most of the moderators really don't do anything beyond tending to their forums (spam, moving posts) so I can't see any of these that don't include Mat (because he is the admin) Commodus (as discussed) and perhaps myself (because of the controversy) being anything other than a who do you like best poll which i'm sure the participants themselves don't care about (or atleast I would hope so). Clearly a similar none mod poll would result in exile from myself and i'm just wondering if this is all that different.

I'm willing to entertain arguements here because some people seem to enjoy it but i'm leaning on the side of this is just another sucky poll within a sucky tournament.

I was kidding about seeing how I do. I already know I am the greatest moderator in the history of the internet. If anything me winning probably means I have not been hard enough as of late.

As for your results: People either love you or hate you, not much middle ground. (you got my vote)

Ok perhaps it would help if you explained what it is that excites you about it? I mean what is interesting about seeing who it more liked beyond the more visible mods. I barely know anything about how they mod beyond 2-3. All I know is mostly how good of a poker player they are percieved to be and how good of an OOT poster they are and I'm confident that I know more about these guys then many of the people who frequent OOT. But this contest isn't about who is the better poster/player is it?

ah, lighten up, bro. Yeah, it's just a popularity contest, but it is yet another outlet for our competitive instincts.

Yes of course it is up to me. If I had decided it isn't going to be finished it won't be. But I haven't i'm just asking some questions as its obvious you did put thought into and its not mean spirited. I'm just thinking out loud and asking questions.

it's not a matter of lightening up as I'm not going to do anything, I'm just curious.

I thought the original poll was interesting and people seemed to enjoy it but I also thought that pretty much clearly displayed how everyone felt on the subject.

Again I'm just expressing some thoughts and saying stating what should or should not be done. Noone has complained beyond me so I'll assume everyone else enjoys it.

Wacki versus Xorbie will be closest. Both are damn cool.

[censored]

10-15-2005, 11:05 PM

Also on my own voting most of this was decided as randomly as possible as I feel the same towards all of them minus a 1 or 2. If that is what everyone else is doing or simply picking the name they recognize does that consitute a good poll?

I guess when I say polls should be good these are the things people should be thinking about. Things like will the voters have a reason to care either way, will they be able to argue and discuss why one side is superior. How does deciding between Mr.wookiepants and durrun90210 bring that about?

I'd be interested in hearing the thoughts from the very good posters here.

Seems fair. He who lives by the sword dies by the sword. Anyway there is no power to kick a mod out, so this seems pretty mild stuff indeed. So mild as to not even seem all that interesting.

Judging by the number of people who have voted in this poll, it seems pretty popular. If it's not your thing, fine. I was never interested in your hundreds of Ms. OOT polls, so I just didn't read them, problem solved. This poll at least has valid choices. Your job is to stick to the obvious crap like ManyBeers. By the way, mrwookiepants is far superior based on his wiggum avatar.

OK this is somewhat of what I was looking for. If it's just me then that is totally fine.

I think he's saying, as a mod, you should know more of the better members than most people.

BruceZ is one of the best.

If you asked the posters in the Probability forum, this would be a blowout in favor of BruceZ. But for OOT posters, JBB is the clear winner.

This can't be listed in bracket order because you have #1 vs #2 next round. Do it like NCAA BBall (1/32 now faces 16/17) or do it like NHL (top seed remaining vs worst seed remaining)

its not listed in bracket order, dont worry, i have the bracket worked out in proper order, but when i made the poll when it posted it reordered the questions, not sure why.
