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.

Unlike your Portuguese crush. and i am not referring to me. :D

i would never guess lenders was portuguese
always imagined you guys as totally laid-back people without any negative emotion in them
We are laid-back as far as Europe goes. (Portugal, Spain and Italy in my experience are the most laid back countries.) But Brazil, for example, make us seems.like the most boring, serious people on earth. :lol:

I think Lenders is laid back. Amd he seems to me like the typical 19 or 20 yo Portuguese guy. He really does. :lol:

Isn't he similar do Machado and Gil in many ways? :p Only Machado is older. :p

Well duh :p

Every time I read a Lenders post with perfect grammar the surface area of my undergarments increase significantly.
:D

Happens to me too while I'm typing them ;)

(1) tripwires vs. (5) Hewitt =Legend Don't want you win and damage your ACC credentials for next year mate. I've been cultivating my gut for the last few months so they'll be in optimum snuggling form by the time you arrive for the AO next year :hearts:
(7) viruzzz vs. (6) The Bulldog
What do you mean the last few months mate?

Nah, we'll have some supreme cuddles hopefully culminating in us witnessing B-Nard getting arrested for generally being to awesome.

i have voted for my fellow emo's


(1) tripwires vs. (5) Hewitt =Legend - the bogan is always cheerful and drunk..... trips on the other hand wear her heart out in the open for everyone to see. she was at this year WTF and was having an emotional meltdown everytime federer didn't win a point. i heard that she was emotional distress after federer lost in the final but quickly recovered when she took picture with federer after he molested her shoulders. it's funny that this time last year, she was telling me how much she wanted to give me an infraction for making fun of federer. a year later, she supporting me in this popularity contest.
I'm strangely really touched by this. :awww:

(1) tripwires vs. (5) Hewitt=Legend - I have some serious doubts regarding this other poster. Seriously though, I have no idea what I'm doing here and why it's so close at the moment. Trip is by far and large one of my favourite posters on this site and I am extremely blessed to be able to call her a friend. Wish you could make another trip (username) to Melbourne next year so we could pretend to understand each other and watch a 5 set Lu mugfest in the carpark. Hope you win it all, do it for us Australasians.
And this too - Andrey. :awww: Alas, won't be able to go to Melbourne in 2013. :sad: Maybe in 2014. :D :hearts: :bounce:

That if he posted a picture of him licking those socks he could cheerlead with you. The mere thought of leng with his tongue out is highly arousing, but yeah, maybe wait until after...

I swear these conversations always lead to me getting in trouble. I still can't good rep her... MTF's faulty rep system prohibits me from delivering heart felt messages on a consistent basis..

Can't even make an exception for Raquel. :rolleyes:

this is the least racist popcon up to date

if viruzzz makes it to the final he'll be the first popcon finalist from both american continents (true, we never even had a yank or canuck in it)

trip would be the first asian with a cockney accent ofc.
On a serious note, I am starting to develop a strange accent. :facepalm: Maybe when me and Andrey meet again in 2014, he wouldn't have to pretend to understand me when I talk to him; my accent seems to be working on the Brits and other Europeans. :hearts: Would get laughed at when I go home though. :facepalm:

Well, it's pretty worse on my phone because it not only adds words, but it also changes them. Like refrain and restrain. :awww:

But the worst is when I text a friend "something something bla bla heterosexual"... just hads the word I swear it happens very often, has created some awkward situations. :eek:
What??? :haha:

Okay but yeah I know what you mean - the stupid autocorrect thing. My phone doesn't add words though. Your phone is weird. :speakles:

Vote for Andrey (Hewitt =Legend) if you like him, and you should like him because he's funny, goofy, adorable, immensely likeable, laid-back, speaks with an incomprehensible accent, peels like a snake after a few hours in the sun, would make a great guy to party with, and you know that his posts make you laugh in real life when you're on the bus or trying to study in school on a Saturday afternoon. MTF wouldn't be the same without him.

Go Andrey. :cheerleader:

(PS. It's Hewitt =Legend, not Hewitt=Legend. :rolleyes:)
