POLL: Pick the New E=NG Thread Title! E=NG Bracket Challenge R1.1

[Textcritic]

It is time to open a new chapter in the epic tale of E=NG, Edmonton is no good.

Since at least 2014, the common practice here has been to close the last version and start a new thread in an effort to keep the site software from lagging after threads get too big. Pho recommended starting a new one after 10,000 posts, which has usually coincided with a new season.

It is late this year, probably because of the weird wrinkle in the universe fabric that saw the Oilers in the second round of the playoffs last spring. But then, since the start of the season on 10 October there have been 2,165 posts, so it is definitely time.

We are doing something a little different this year, and have turned the naming of the next E=NG thread into a bracket challenge. There are eight choices, and we will go three rounds to find everyone’s favourite. Since 2019 the common practice has been to draw names for the threads from from statements made by members within the organisation or media, or published statements made about the team. The following eight title choices have come from comments just since opening night.

There will be a thread dedicated to each bracket in each round, and each round will run for 24 hours.

"Not f###ing good enough”
v.
“That might be it. Yup.”

Round 1.2
Mud, Sweatpants and Tiers (based on Woodcroft's statement from 19 October: “We’re in a mud puddle right now.”)
v.
"Great Observation, Thanks"

Round 1.3
“Cup or Bust!” —Turns out, it’s “Bust.”
v.
“Stanley Cup Contenders in 32nd Place”

Round 1.4
“The All-Consuming Pursuit of the Next Solution”
v.
"We're kind of back to drip, drip, drip"

We will launch the new thread on the weekend.

Remember... secret ballot. Hallmark of Democracy!

No vote-buying now....

The swear filter really puts a damper on this round. ####ing swear filter. Can we have a poll on getting rid of it next?

May I suggest that after this one we start a new E=NG thread on a set date like Sep 1 of each year regardless of post counts, keeping it consistent.

Personally I find censored swearing to often by way more ####ing funny.

Love that ####.

My top ones are most definitely “The All-Consuming Pursuit of the Next Solution" or “Stanley Cup Contenders in 32nd Place”

I vote we begin a new chapter at CP .

The CP swear jar.

Drop some F bombs and pay credits to do so. The money goes towards a charity like....clean sweatpants with dress shoes in Edmonton and for once no nacho stained oiler jerseys....thats WHY they wear orange Jerseys so you can't tell....or is that why they throw jerseys on the ice ? Well never know.

Anyway the money goes towards a good cause and only in this area of the forum .

Kind of like a dump ....ya know like Edmonton....only trash goes there even though we occasionally recycle former oilers or do charity work of another sort " oiler stink reclamation projects".

I'm just happy that schmarmy little puke Woody got the axe....even though I am a little sad for the guy and Edmonton....he might have been the best coach they had or will have for the next while as now it seems they'll let the inmates run the asylum.

Ha ha ha. Cup or BUST . And they started early this year ya know. We're taking this seriously ya know.
