Re: Mod Battle Round 1

Are we using brackets or seeding system( ie if seed 32 wins will he play number 2 or the winner of 16 vs 17) |
Re: Mod Battle Round 1
the OOT mods are gonna win cause of the voracity (nice word eh [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]) of the OOT posters.

Re: Mod Battle Round 1
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.

Re: Mod Battle Round 1
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. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'm excited by this tourney. I hope you don't lock it. As for your results: People either love you or hate you, not much middle ground. (you got my vote) |
Re: Mod Battle Round 1
if you dont want me to finish this out i wont, just thought it would be fun. so basically, its up to you.

(you got my vote) [/ QUOTE ] 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? |
Re: Mod Battle Round 1
ah, lighten up, bro. Yeah, it's just a popularity contest, but it is yet another outlet for our competitive instincts.

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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
Re: Mod Battle Round 1
Wacki versus Xorbie will be closest. Both are damn cool.

Re: Mod Battle Round 1
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. |

[/ QUOTE ] 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. |
Re: Mod Battle Round 1
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.

Re: Mod Battle Round 1
This is an entertaining poll to me. For one thing, it's interesting to see how the mods (including you) are reacting.

Re: Mod Battle Round 1

2nd highest vs. 2nd lowest ect.? |
Re: Mod Battle Round 1
