Default CPs most annoying poster ROUND 1 vote for the biggest thimble headed gherkin

https://www.polltab.com/bracket-poll/M40PBhc-NcXRZ


We’ll see how this goes lol, I won’t be surprised to see a lock in short order. Anyways with all the kerfuffle around one certain poster (who can’t be named to try and maintain the validity of this poll) it got me wondering who is the most annoying around here?

Once we have a list of say 16 or 32 volunteers I will be making a regular bracket poll.

Now this presents a few issues, because this thread will be locked down real quick if it devolves into straight name calling. Be civil but be harsh.

Rules:

-Only those who volunteer to be included in the poll will be part of it. Banned for life posters are fair game too as it is against site rules to evade a ban.

-Discussion around the posters who volunteer is fine, even ribbing / teasing. Anyone who did not volunteer is off limits. Use your judgement here.

-If you volunteer, you expressly agree to present yourself to be roasted by other posters. Make sure you have some thicker skin if you wish to be part of the poll.

-The idea is for ribbing and teasing to be ok, personal attacks (sexism, racism etc) that go over the moderated line are NOT ok in this thread or quite frankly anywhere.

-Try and use facts / old posts for discussion, the emotional element will always play into the decision making but let’s try and keep it reasonable.


I’d like to make a go of this but I can also understand if this gets locked immediately. It would be pretty hypocritical of me to make the poll and not volunteer myself so have at it people.

So first things first, who volunteers as tribute:

JBo
EVERLAST

btimbit
Sliver

OutOfTheCube
TorqueDog

D as in David
Jason14h

Doctorfever
MathGod

PaperBagger’14
bc-chris

Johnny Makarov
Ozy_Flame

Locke
DownInFlames

2StonedBirds
Just A Guy

Powderjunkie
Bonded

Pepsifree
Dissentowner

White Out 403
TrentCrimmIndependent

Gullfoss
TheScorpion

Bizaro86
PsYcNeT

CorsiHockeyLeague
Zarys-Mustache

Monahanmer
Keenan87

Legacy honourable mentions who got cut from the vote: MrMastodonFarm, Moon, Polak, Tinordi, Yoho, PIMking, Zamler, Pylon, djsFlames, Bertuzzied, GoJetsGo, dgibb10 or whatever his handle was.

I am here for the Price-Is-Right style guessing game for which post number someone takes something said personally and the mods have to lock this.

I'll start:

#79.

I feel like there HAS to be some nomination element, as we’re not going to get the least self-aware ones or the legends who have been shown the door.

I mean obviously I volunteer, but I’m just saying, I think there’s maybe a short list of us who don’t take ourselves seriously enough to actually volunteer.

While I totally agree with you, I don’t think it’s fundamentally fair to put someone’s name in who may or may not be aware they are being discussed. Some people would be real upset to get railroaded like that and rightfully so.

If anyone has a fair way of solving this I’m all ears.

Edit: I guess it would be fair game to re hash old posters who have been banned as it’s against site rules to make an account to evade a ban. #### it, old banned posters are acceptable for the poll.

Hell yes, I've never won anything truly significant in my whole life; this seems like my chance at something they can put on my tombstone.

First, for Blaster's pool I'll take post 43. Second, since this will be getting locked I just wanna voice my belief that we should bring back the returning posters thread, that was so much fun.

I'd be deeply insulted not to be considered for this, but I also think springs1 must be included.

Oh don’t worry, you’re articles won’t be half the disappointment as your finish in this thread will be!

Why would Springs1 be included? For starters she is GOATed around here so there's that. And she had like two tangent runs and that's it? Gotta be a somewhat regular to be considered IMO.

You’ll lose. I’m not a doctor but I think you put too many people on your ignore list to ever get to a point of frustration where you could really unleash the fury within.

I assume whatever is in that post is a strong endorsement and that I'm off to a running start!

Locke posted in the thread so you need to include him. His billion posts her day and ten signatures in his quote box are automatic nominations.

Also peter12 and Tinordi if you're doing legacy picks.

undercoverbrother for "I LOVE HOT WEATHER" the schtick no one asked for.

bcchris for his 80s sitcom stories

Textcritic for the "no one can.. no one" cringe

combustablefuel for consistently throwing his seven master degrees in our faces

If you bring up ranch and service you might just conjure her return. Anyway, for fun, here is the OG post.

On a related note, I'm also supportive of a CP Greatest Hits thread. So many classics on here that would be fun to reminisce over.

Excuse me, I'm just going to check on when Sliver was last online.

Not for any particular reason of course.

Ok I’m gonna reiterate this and I can’t emphasize this enough, only discuss posters who volunteered, seriously it’s one of the few simple rules or this will be locked.

Are Peter12 and Tinordi banned?
