The TSM Worst Poster tournament.

[Scroby 0]

I hope this tournament is shorter than the Best Posters tournament. I mean are there really 64 posters shitty (or memorably shitty) enough to warrant a mention in this tournament? I think a 16 poster tournament would suffice. 32 might be doable too but 64 just seems excessive.

 

And the Best Posters tournament took too long anyway. Do we really want to waste the same amount of time paying tribute to our worst?

I think I speak for us all when I say.....yes.

[King Kamala 0]

To be fair, I don't think we should have had a 64 person tournament for Best Poster. I mean TaigaStar was in it!

 

 

[Guest Michael Myers Resplendent]

The breadth of Poster Tournament is part of the charm. We don't need 64 teams in March Madness, either.

[Guest cobainwasmurdered]

The longer it goes the better.

Alright seeing how I'm outnumbered here and don't want to find my way into the later rounds of this tournament---may I be the first to suggest a 128 poster tournament? Surely, we must showcase the works of lesser known shitty posters like TheShooter and suref142.

[King Kamala 0]

Ah poop

[Guest Michael Myers Resplendent]

TheShooter would make the cut at 16, let alone 128.

I was actually thinking of suggesting a one week suspension for the winner, should I have to nut up and run this thing because Venkman didn't hold up his end of the deal. (C'mon, Venk! We nominated you, bro!) But it appears al will run the show and has the jack to actually suspend the shitty poster temporarily. Awesome.

 

So are we doing nominations here or in a separate thread?

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

No reason not to do nominations here. Throw out up to five apiece. I'm doubtless going to miss some otherwise.

 

Here is my list so far.

Why suspend the winner? Just outright ban them. It will make it more interesting.

Chazz if he is glennsoe, if not I withdraw my nomination

1. Because do we really want to ban Marvin after all these years?

 

2. Because as mods, we're entered in this thing.

[Dandy 0]

Yeah, if I was running it, my idea was to have the winner suspended for a week and I was going to nominate Mole for changing every thread subtitle. That's my 5th nomination, al.

Czech Republic

So he's the Halle Berry of TSM?

[King Kamala 0]

It's not likely but what happens if razateca and vanhalen win? They haven't been here in months and I don't think they're coming back.

1. Yes.

 

2. Have more confidence in yourself.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

I have confidence, it's just such an ironic twist that could bite me in the ass. Besides, I can honestly only ban a poster when they've reached the point of becoming antagonistic.

[Nighthawk 0]

Fair enough. I'll ban them.

[Cowboy Battlenuts 0]

Don't ban people for their religious choices...

 

 

 

I say be nicer about the whole thing and send the winner to some sort of posting fantasy camp.... that I'm sure someone will have to start.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

If you want to have a "Milky bans the loser" tournament, fine. I think it's a bit much in this case.

[King Kamala 0]

Can't we have a compromise? I think banning is a bit strong but a one day suspension is letting them off a bit light. I think a one month suspension might give the suspendee enough time to reflect on their shitiness and hopefully improve.

edgehead69 is really the only poster I cannot stand right now. I typed this while down at Buffalo Wild Wings.

[Guest Michael Myers Resplendent]

If we're going to do a big Worst Poster Tournament, then we pretty have to ban the guy. Otherwise, to what end are we explaining why poster 1 is worse than poster 2, 4 over 3, and so on for two weeks? Any of the posters who have been nominated so far could be launched to the benefit of the community, and that includes me.

 

If we're taking multiple nominations for seeding like I did, then Marvin, Matt Young, gary floyd, Cartman, Kawalimus, TaigaStar, twistedmind, Choken One is Hawk 34, Bruiser_Brody, and Y2Jerk.

[Nighthawk 0]

If I wanted to ban somebody, I wouldn't hold a tournament, I'd just ban them.

 

But since you feel so strongly about it, we can compromise. I'll do a EHME style defend yourself thread. It won't be you have one chance not to be banned, but we can discuss what, if anything, will be done beyond the suspension. It can be, say, give them a funny new user name or something.

 

I mean, a one day suspension? I wouldn't even notice.

 

Or I could just ban them because I feel like it.

To me, it's much more fun to have them stick around. We can have them wear "TSM's worst poster" as their avatar setting or something. We can give them a hazing ritual, like going to the Pit and discussing politics with MikeSC.

That sounds like a suitable idea.

I haven't seen Y2Jerk since the Benoit situation. I don't think he frequents the board anymore.

[Twisted Intestine 0]

EHME, because he can't get off for months of shitty posting by behaving for a couple weeks.

 

Michael Myers Resplendent, for nominating me. (Is he Czech? I don't keep up with these people who change their names twice a week.)

 

Kenetic, because I don't think his quest for perfection is very perfect at all.

 

Alkeiper, because he's scared of losing.

 

Milky, because he isn't scared of losing.

 

Edit: And, if I'm allowed to do more than five, Tigastar for spelling tiga wrong in her name. Also for rejecting my challenge.

[Open the Muggy Gate 0]

Can we just combine Enigma and Mecca into Enigmecca and ban em both if they win?
