1. Slayer has already won a poster tournament championship. Repeats suck.

2. If you're not familiar with me, judge me by my best work.

Ortonsault.

[Guest]

I'm toast.

[Burning Pirate Ship Sex 0]

I have no idea how I made it in to this tournament. With that said, I'm somewhat honored, in an absurd way.

 

On to the next round:

 

Venkman

Inc

Byron

Slayer

 

Kinetic

Matt Young

Mellow

Edwin

 

KOAB

Matt.com

Pbone

Agent

 

Kreese

Treble

Nighthawk

VX

[Gary Floyd 0]

Dandy (This one was really hard, i mean really. Dandy gets a nod though. Sorry Venkman)

Inc (He may not care for me, but he's a legend)

Cheech

Slayer

 

Kinetic (His Youtube vids are the best. Here comes shitty bob_barron!)

Canadian Chris

Bored

Edwin

 

KOAB (Good poster, great avatar. My fave was "We don't walk, we step" though)

Smues

Kamala

Agent (Fellow Doom Metal fan, favorite to win)

 

Kreese

Lushus

909 (I like Milky, but he won last year. Plus, I'm a good sport. No hard feelings Milky)

Vitamin X

 

And now *Rides off into the sunset while the theme from "Midnight Cowboy" plays

[Copper Feel 0]

In b4 every1 else again? Ah, the strange times at which I internet.

 

Dandy

EHME (I feel bad for not following through on my promise of running his campaign)

Byron the Bulb (Didn't Cheech take like 6 months off or something?)

Slayer

 

Kinetic

Matt Young

Mellow (I don't like sports)

Edwin MacPhisto

 

KOAB

Smues

Pbone

Agent of Oblivion

 

S.J Kreese

Lushus

Milky

Lord of the Curry (VX hurt my feelings)

[Burning Pirate Ship Sex 0]

Kinetic (His Youtube vids are the best. Here comes shitty bob_barron!)

 

This I feel gives Kinetic the edge needed to win the whole thing. Kinetic's pursuit of perfection was pretty good too.

 

However, Milky did post a picture of his name written on his girlfriend's ass in her own menstrual blood. We may be seeing a repeat this year.

[treble 0]

Guys, Black Lushus doesn't want you to vote for him. Straight from the horse's mouth:

 

Yeah don't vote for me

 

Honour his wishes.

 

I've heard he's not even really black.

[Copper Feel 0]

Oh. I'll have to switch my vote to the blackest man in all of message-boarding.

[Black Lushus 0]

That's no shock, I say that every year.

 

Yeah, don't vote for me.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Can I just concede and VX moves on? He's a better man then I.

[snuffbox 0]

Unfortunately, I wont have to have to make any statement to keep people from voting for me.

[Guest Smues]

That's no shock, I say that every year.

 

Yeah, don't vote for me.

Ok.

 

Unless you're using reverse psychology, and you do want me to vote for you.

 

Unless you're using reverse reverse psychology, and you really don't want me to vote for you.

 

Or you're using reverse reverse reverse psychology.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Facing Agent is a tough task. Usually I skate by on close wins til the final four, but not this year I think. There's not much I can say in my support and against Agent. He's a good guy.

 

I'd like to state for the record though that the Somali Privateer thread is the most obnoxious piece of crap on TSM I've had to read in quite some time.

[Smartly Pretty 0]

Venk over Dandy - A lot of people will vote for Venk for a variety of reasons, but let's start with the obvious: Ghostbusters avatar.

Inc over EHME - Hometown pride!

Byron the Bulb over Cheech - Byron likes Titus Andronicus, so that's already cool, and sometimes Cheech's whole jr. mod schtick can be a little annoying (no offense, I still like ya Cheech)

Slayer over Ortonsault - Hell if I know who Ortonsault is.

 

Kinetic over Snuffbox - I'm the sunshine of his life! How cool is that?

Canadian Chris over Matt Young - Hockey fan seniority.

Bored over Mellow - I feel like Bored's love of baseball is sometimes overlooked

Edwin MacPhisto over Fazzle - Edwin is fucking awesome.

 

Smartly Pretty over KOAB - Tell me how my ass taste.

Smues over Mattdotcom - Smues lives in Alaska. On purpose. Vote!

Pbone over Kamala - The toughest one so far! I like you guys! Pbone because "At Home" comes before "King Kamala" alphabetically.

Agent of Oblivion over Alkepier - Sorry Al, but in the end, you're a Phillies fan. I wouldn't normally be like that, but you guys just won the World Series

 

Kreese over Canadian Guitarist - Maybe it's unfair of me to say this, but with all of the "Canadian____" posters, I get them all mumble jumbled and they begin to lose a bit of their identity with me.

Treble over Black Lushus - Treble really is one of the funniest guys we have.

Milky over 909- I liked hearing about your childhood those couple of times in the ask Milky thread. I've also told some of my friends a story about "a guy i know" walking into a dentist's office and requesting teeth to be removed. That's a cool story.

Vitamin X over Lord of the Curry - VX once gave me some advice on where to go to college in a chat. I completely forget what he said to me and in what context, but still, that's pretty nice of him, ya know.

[Gary Floyd 0]

That's no shock, I say that every year.

 

Yeah, don't vote for me.

Ok.

 

Unless you're using reverse psychology, and you do want me to vote for you.

 

Unless you're using reverse reverse psychology, and you really don't want me to vote for you.

 

Or you're using reverse reverse reverse psychology.

Yes.

the Somali Privateer thread is the most obnoxious piece of crap on TSM I've had to read in quite some time.

 

You had to read it?

[BUTT 0]

He's a mod! Part of a mod's job is reading every post that passes through these hallowed internet halls.

 

 

[alfdogg 0]

Dr. Venkman

Incandenza (I thought I could count on EHME for a vote, but no. This is the penalty.)

Byron the Bulb

Ortonsault (He's the only person who nominated me publicly. I thought we had something, TSM.)

 

Kinetic (this is looking like the frontrunner right now)

CanadianChris

Mellow (Bored swept me in the kkk bowl. I'm a sore sport.)

Edwin MacPhisto

 

KOAB

Smues

King Kamala

Agent of Oblivion

 

S.J. Kreese

treble

909

Vitamin X

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Dandy - He makes me laugh, me and Venk don't get along.

EHME - Gotta vote for myself

Cheech - Byron pissed me off today

Ortonsault - Slayers funny, but Ortonsault's my nigga

 

Kinetic - He's hilarous, and snuffbox is a fag

Matt Young - CanadianChris is a good poster, but Matt Young is my homie

mellow - Good guy to talk to, don't really know Bored

fazzle - Coin flip, both are cool with me

 

KOAB - Mah nigga

Smues - Don't really mind either poster, was a coinflip

Kamala - pbone's a sweetheart, but Kamala is cool

AoO - Al's a nerd, AoO isn't

 

Kreese - One of my favorite posters here

BL - Don't care if he doesn't want me to vote for him

Milky - 909 is alright, but Milky is one of my favorite posters

LOTC - VX will problay win, but gotta back an MMA folder poster

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Incandenza (I thought I could count on EHME for a vote, but no. This is the penalty.)

 

Don't blame me, blame the coin!

[Dandy 0]

Venkman - Absolutely zero chance that I survive this round, and rightfully so. Venkman should go far, and I don't think one little ol' vote from me is going to derail that, so why bother?

EHME - Inc is a legend like has been stated many times before. I even mentioned it last round. However, EHME gets the nod for his improvement over the last year.

Cheech - Both posters are quality, but Cheech is my boy. We used to janitorialize together.

Slayer - He's still got it.

 

Kinetic - Consistency. Wit. Imagination. Kinetic.

Canadian Chris - Matt got a vote from me in the last round. He has no more heat for me to leach.

Bored - Tough choice, but bored's weekly contributions are a major part of the Sports folder, which is probably the best legit folder here.

Edwin - Always quality. Fazzle's cool, though.

 

KOAB - I think he's always on TSM.

Smues - Smyooooz over the rookie with potential.

King Kamala - My chat buddy and a damned good poster.

Agent - I hated to vote against al, but Agent has been bringing the goods all year.

 

Kreese - Tough one, but SJK moves on.

treble - Lushus posted here more last year, I think. treble is the best color guy in the game. Lushus is a...nah, that joke is too easy.

Milky - By a wiiiiiiiiiide margin.

Vitamin X - LOTC should lose due to his sig that slows down the entire board.

 

 

Man, it's a tough tournament this year.

What does that even mean? You obviously haven't read your posts in the TWIB thread involving the final game at Yankee Stadium.

[Big Ol' Smitty 0]

Dandy-You don't vote against a mullet like that.

Incandeza-Seriously, I've been knocked out in the first round three years running and functional retard EHME makes it to the second? Would have loved to see him Ashcroft'd.

objet petit a-He's totes awesome

Xavier Cromartie-Outworked Slayer this year.

 

snuffbox-Got to incur a little bit his wrath the other day re:Obama's appointment as CIA chief and it was glorious.

Matt Young-Hit hard by Cyclone Nargis this year, so sympathy vote.

mellowadjective-Hustles.

E-Mac-Way cooler than you or me.

 

KOAB-Sucks.

Smues-No offense, but lamest match-up of the round. My 3 first round opponents: Czech, Agent, & Dandy. I'm a jobber to the stars. *sigh*

pbone-A lot of upside in this one.

Agent-Will kill & skin a wild animal with his bare hands and make a delicious, subtly seasoned entree out of it.

 

SJK-I liked when he called out Byron.

treble-This matchup was nearly a *tie*.

King-

VX-Like both of these guys but VX's food folder posts have been epic this year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

[PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! 0]

Dandy - Angle-Plex deserved more than 7 votes you faggots

Incandenza - I can't believe dead Marney (pbuh) got blown out by fuckin' EHME. What an ignominious send off.

Me - I'm probably going to lose to a guy who took a six month vacation from boarding. ~*sigh*~

Ortonsault

 

snuffbox - This is more a pity vote than anything. snuffbox is a cool guy and I don't want to see him get completely shut out. Don't hate me for this, Kinetic

Canadian Chris - Still h8 Matt Young

Bored - Mellow's never struck me as much more than a kinda average poster dressed up in a snazzy avatar/sig combo. I won't be won over by cheap tricks.

Edwin - The inevitable Edwin/Kinetic throwdown at the end of this bracket should be a corker

 

KOAB

Mattdotcom - Both these guys are kinda bleh, but Mattdotcom doesn't feel the need to bitch about minor traffic inconveniences in General Chat, so he gets the nod

King Kamala - I don't "get" pbone

Agent

 

Kreese - Can Gtrst is kind of a doofus. Remember when he compared himself to, like, Tiger Woods in an argument over the relative merits of propane vs. charcoal (or something)? What the fuck?

treble

909 - NO REPEATS

VX - LOTC beating godthedog is a minor travesty.

I just did. I said something you disagreed with and the argument ran less than a page. Hardly worth getting worked up over.

[Xavier Cromartie 0]

1. Dr. Venkman over 8. Dandy. Dandy beats many of the remaining posters, but Venk and I go way back.

5. EHME over 4. Inc. I'm in EHME's 'real nigga' Hall of Fame.

2. object little-a over 7. Cheech. I appreciated that comment about colonial intervention. Goooo Byron.

6. Xavier Cromartie over 3. Slayer. "We mocked him for being coming off like a complete idiot"

 

9. snuffbox over 1. Kinetic. This time, the pity vote is for real.

5. CanadianChris over 4. Matt Young. Matt is the TSM punching bag.

2. mellow over 7. Bored. This mellow fellow is seeing his stock rise quickly at forums.thesmartmarks.com.

3. Edwin over 6. fazzle. Sorry fazzle. You ran into a buzzsaw here.

 

1. KOAB over 9. Smartly Pretty. Smartly Pretty obviously didn't read the second post of this thread.

5. Mattdotcom over 13. Smues. I'm still amazed by that amazing life of Mattdotcom.

7. pbone over 2. Kamala. Parker supports my efforts.

6. Agent of Oblivion over 3. alkeiper. Agent wasn't very kind to me last round, but alkeiper just nominated himself for my next worst poster tournament!

 

1. Sensei John Kreese over 8. Canadian Guitarist. Board Friends Forever.

4. treble over 5. Black Lushus. Same reason that Byron gave.

7. 909 over 2. Milky. Called my thread great. Thank you.

3. Vitamin X over 6. Lord of the Curry. So yeah, the key is natural foods like fruit and fish.

[bob_barron 0]

Venk over Dandy- Venk's done a great job in the WWE Folder.

Inc over EHME- Good posts, Inc.

Byron the Bulb over Cheech- Not a huge fan of either guy, but I guess I'll go for Byron.

Slayer over Ortonsault - I like Ortonsault a lot, and think the pirate thread is interesting, but I can't hate on Slayer.

 

Kinetic over Snuffbox- Kinetic's made two videos about me.

Canadian Chris over Matt Young- I can't believe I'm voting for a Senator fan.

Mellow over Bored - Mellow makes a lot of good posts in the WWE folder.

Edwin MacPhisto over Fazzle - Edwin is fucking awesome.

 

Smartly Pretty over KOAB - Gotta give it to a hockey fan.

Mattdotcom over Smues - Smues is a great guy, but Mattdotcom is funnier.

Kamala over pbone - Kamala's one of TSM's better all around posters,

Agent of Oblivion over Alkepier - See Agent, I do like you!

 

Kreese over Canadian Guitarist- Feel bad voting against a hockey fan, but Kreese is great.

Treble over Black Lushus - Leafs fan.

909 over Milky- If you want my vote, like hockey.

LOTC over VX- The guy was a huge Benoit fan, and then Benoit killed his family. That's rough.

[snuffbox 0]

Aw, thanks for the pity votes, friends!

 

And, re: CIA nom, I get the torture angle and agree with the idea now.
