Should have been some ranked entries. Some were tough because you wanted both and some because neither mattered.

The winner of this gets a lifetime ban from CP right?
That would be the only fitting prize for being the biggest troll to the site.

I don't think people actually know the meaning of troll.

Very funny that the PepsiFree/dissentowner matchup already has the most votes

Unfortunately you’re just going to have to be a grown up and continue dealing with us.

I know it’ll be hard.

I know people were throwing their hats in for good fun, but there’s definitely a few I wouldn’t classify as even close to annoying.

This kind of feels like Formula 1 summer break content on /r/formula1. I approve.

I'm just here so I don't get fined. And to expedite the start of the mayhem.

But I'm willing to sell my slot to anyone who wants it for 12 internet points and a bag of pucks.

Don’t bring bag of pucks in here, he’s a nice guy.

My feelings would be mildly hurt if I don't beat White Out.

When you've sent the poster you're up against into a rage more than once that should be an auto-win. /js

May I suggest:

During round two instead of having a full blown bracket only present one option to vote on for 24 hrs.

Might be able to stretch this out a bit and get us to pre season.


I’m also sad that a couple of the posters that I often roll my eyes at didn’t make an appearance here. I’m not controversial enough to point fingers though.

I too was a little disappointed with the final pool.

Some of the more polite and generally compromising posters throwing their hats in sucks a bit of the fun out of it.

I wish we could see who voted for whom. I get that it would skew the vote though.

Friends, CPers, countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to speak of Zary's Moustache, but not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with Zary's Moustache. The noble PaperBagger
Hath told you Zary's Moustache was annoying:
If it were so, it was a grievous fault,
And grievously hath Zary's Moustache answer’d it, being in this poll against me that he is sure to lose.
Here, under leave of PaperBagger and the rest of you trolls –
For PaperBagger is an honourable man;
So are you all, all honourable men (and Girlysports) –
Come I to speak in Zary's Moustache's online funeral.
He was a friend, faithful and just to anyone except those who disagree with him about Israel:
But PaperBagger says he was annoying;
And PaperBagger is an honourable man.
He hath brought many sock puppets home to the Off Topic Forum
Whose ad click revenue did the general coffers fill:
Did this in Zary's Moustache seem annoying?
When that the Oilers have cried, Zary's Moustache hath wept tears of joy:
Annoyance should be made of sterner stuff:
Yet PaperBagger says he was annoying;
And PaperBagger is an honourable man.
You all did see that in the post-game threads
We thrice presented him a kingly crown of post thanks,
Which he did never seek: was this annoying?
Yet PaperBagger says he was annoying;
And, sure, he is an honourable man.
I speak not to disprove what PaperBagger spoke,
But here I am to speak what I do know.
You all did love him once, not without cause:
What cause withholds you then, to vote for his opponent here?
O judgment! thou art fled to brutish beasts,
And internet bots have lost their reason.

Listen, Senator Vance, it's possible for someone to be two things at once, okay?

Not as annoying as reading this post and realizing "sh*t... that really would have been a lot faster."
