2012 MTF Popularity Contest News Thread

aka High School Backstabbing Contest.

Yes it is that time again. The ACC is over and now it is time to crown the most popular poster on MTF. MTF is in a bit of a flux these days with many new people.

I will take my cues from Nathii's running of the 2010 contest, a contest she ran exceptionally well.

1. This year's edition is run by myself, Johnny Groove and Freak3yman84.

2. The idea is to choose the most popular poster on MTF. Everyone has got their own definition of "popularity," but remember this is a positive contest - reversed to ACC. You vote for someone you like, find intelligent, think they're good contributors to the board, are charismatic, funny, awesome.

3. Nominations will run for a few days, maybe a week, until we get sufficient nominations. 128 probably, but maybe more or less. Seedings will be done by nominations.

4. You must have at least 300 posts to add a nomination because of the sad experiences with double accounts in the past (this gives some more safety). There are no restrictions to how many people you nominate, but you are only allowed to nominate a given poster once.

5. Note to everyone - if you want to insult someone, go to the ACC threads. This one is opened already now because word on a street says there will be also other contests and all should close before Christmas, when people are still around the computer and can participate.

6. We don't mind a little bit of controversy - it occurs every year and makes things more entertaining, but it needs to be at moderate level. You are allowed to give reasons to the votes and the previous editions have clearly showed on average basis this is *not* an arselicking contest (if you have doubts, take your time to read threads from the previous years rather than base of own first impression). Jokes are jokes, but if someone feels *seriously* harassed do not hesitate to send us a PM. We'd like to handle this behind the scenes alone or with a mod participation if unsolvable otherwise.

Reminder: A semifinalist from two years ago, bad gambler, not only didn't beg or campaign but was unaware he achieved that round! A finalist from last year, Peta Pan, didn't campaign herself and didn't have anyone else doing it for her! A semifinalist, adee-gee, was away from the computer in a foreign country and barely aware how he was progressing here! A quarterfinalist, TMJordan, was on holiday in Miami and didn't vote/beg/campaign/post at all! You cannot say only being fake nice during the contests lifts you up high here. No.

8. Withdrawals are generally not accepted especially for the reasons like "I am afraid I will not win," "This contest is run by a Rafatard and a manipulative bitch," "I may not get as many votes as I would like," "I was away for the whole year and nobody knows me anymore, and I probably will lose in R1," I am too old for this," "I don't have enough v-cash to buy votes and bad gambler's account disappeared so he won't give me a present," "A person who doesn't like me might vote for my opponent on purpose" If you really have a valid reason send us a PM and we will discuss it.

If there are any more rules that need to be discussed, I will add them here.

Wow, what tough matchups from here on in, R32 and forward.

Don't know if I will be strong enough to repel the famous mimi from defeating me. If I am to lose in this round, I would not have a problem with it.

Orkan is swedish for Hurricane. :) (But orka also means something, it's an expression for when you don't have the will/energy to do something.) But after 3 years on MTF someone (Lilotes) finally commented on it, so I was happy. ;)

I'm up against Deathless Mortal, yeah. But I look at it this way: if I lose today, I lose to someone I really respect. That's never bad.
Also fascinating that we both won our previous round match with the score 32-14. Bring it :fiery:

(11) Pirata vs. (22) BroTree123 - i badrep both during the acc but brotree had a hissyfit over my badrep, while pirata took on the chin.
Two badreps from this guy in the past month and yet... :speakles:

I'm like Roddick, facing Fed in AO 2007 :eek:
 
#733 ·
I'll go easy on you, I promise :angel:

And thanks to all of you who have voted for me, i really really appreciated, like i did last year, i upset a top seed player. I mean i cant imagine how amazed i feel. Gosh i didnt realized how many supporters and friends i have. Thanks again so much for all of your support and if i lose this match, im grateful because i didnt think i will repeat my last year results at all..Thanks you guys :smooch:

NID that I'd lose easily to Hewitt =Legend, the reason for that being that I am a digusting vulture praying on weak draws. Just like in ACC, I routined early round mugs easily and then folded like a cheap tent to the first quality opponent. I've become what I most hate basically :eek: :p

Thanks everyone for voting for me throughout the contest, a lot of people said nice things even when they voted against me, which is always nice to read :)

Congrats tripwires :worship: Good luck :dance:

Yay I got at least 6 votes against Pirata (whose in God mode atm). That's the same amount of games Roddick won against Fed in AO'07. Can't complain about that :rocker2:

Man if I played percentage tennis like one of them against a wall in real life, I would be dead already after the 1st set.:spit: :rolls:
I have poor stamina, you should take advantage of that unless you are a headcase of the highest order with Haase-like choking abilities. :lol:

EPIC battle so far. I can't hold serve anymore it seems! WTF?!! :scared: It looks like a WTA serve now.:eek::lol: Oh wait... Your serve is hardly better than mine. :lol:

Man, I won't forget this battle. Such a great match. Even though I feel dead tired right now. I'll start ballbashing a little bit maybe to save some energy. :cool:

If GSMnadal comes through this epic, he's definitely going to routine Noserer... I mean, Kat.
 
#782 ·
Kat is Fed, not Rosol. So the excuse would be "I was tired" :lol:
 
#784 ·
Fuck man, I'm like del Potro gettin' smashed 6-3, 6-0, 6-0 by Fed :haha:

But I guess that's what happens when you go one round too far :sad:
