It's hard when you have brackets where you can't remember being annoyed by either candidate..

We'll need that legacy tournament next to pit some of the true HOFers against one another.

I may do an all legacy bracket, but really it’s gonna end up being Yoho.

Also for all of you that aren’t too fat to reach, give yourselves a pat on the back for making it to the actual voting period. I had doubts that this thread would even make it 12 hours, let alone get to this point.

Congrats to everyone, youve narrowly avoided disappointment yet again.

When you've sent the poster you're up against into a rage more than once that should be an auto-win. /js
Running into you or Pepsi early was my fear. It's like getting drawn against Alabama or Ohio State.

There are some locks going into round 2, and a few interesting toss ups, imo.

Locks:
- Sliver
— btimbit is one of the ultimate good guys around here, no way people are voting him. Love Sliver but sorry this is no contest.

- OOtC
— Torque might be direct but that + his car guy thing is gonna play way better here than the whiney “I can’t drive and hey guys omg I have a nintendo switch why is nobody talking about nintendo switch” thing

- PaperBagger
— unfortunately it’s tough to see cheese winning against a top contender

- Locke
— Nobody likes accountants

- Me
— diss might get into it deeper and more seriously with posters but I have quantity on my side and know what buttons to push and this is a numbers game. I’m the most condescending, antagonist poster this board has ever seen. Beat that.

- Psycenet
— is Blaster even annoying to anyone? maybe in FOI

- Zary
— Corsi a few years ago maybe, he’s old and low energy now, Zary can kick it as well as anyone

Toss Ups:
- Doctorfever vs MathGod
— both annoying in their own ways, but the main difference is dumb vs naive. both guys who, at a certain point, you just wish would stop posting. At least MG makes a good point once in a while and generally knows how to put a thought together, but he gets into it with a lot of people and doesn’t know when to quit. It’s unclear is DF has ever had a good point, but he thinks he has. Great matchup.

- Johnny Makarov vs Ozy Flame
— A pretty ultimate matchup. The guy who you never want on your side vs the guy who calls you creepy if it gets any indication you aren’t on his side. JM knows nothing and it’s unclear he’s even a real person, whereas Ozy believes in aliens and is obsessed with letting people know he lives in Toronto and used to live in Calgary but lives in Toronto now and did you know he lives in Toronto? Probably lives in Brampton.

- WO vs TrentCrimm
— Another great matchup. Two of the most easily triggered posters in the site, one leans into it and the other wants you desperately to convince you he isn’t triggered. Trent might have an advantage on account of history (wall of shame, quitting and coming back with an english accent two days later) and the thing where he tries to wax poetic about topic clearly trying to hide his awkward nature and self-doubt, but WO might have flipped out on enough people and offended enough with genuinely terrible opinions that he’ll have a good shot.

Aren't there two posters with timbit in the username?

One is really nice and the other is a surly ghoul?

I forget who's who until I see the content of the post.

It's cute you're trying to claim it's a toss up given how beautifully you go on about me. You just cant contain yourself.

We both know which way you lean.

Just explain to the group why you thought trying to convey an English accent you didn’t have, over text, was a cool idea in your mind.

Hey Chris, you’re great at lots of things, being a dick isn’t one of them. Can you actually go through your post history and find 1 example of you upsetting anyone?

I just ripped on a stroke victim yesterday before lunch.

Indeed, timbit and myself

It's a dumb username from back in the day, this is even the only place I still use it. B is my first initial, Tim are the first 3 letters of my last name, then bit just ties it all together.

It's dumb, but I'm not creative

Even if this were true, and we both know it isn't - apparently I'm even annoying people in this thread by "trying too hard" - you underestimate the "legacy award" factor. If Drew Doughty can win a Norris in a year he clearly doesn't deserve it I should have no trouble here.

Except people know ZM is also the reincarnation of Spurs and moon, I think you're toast bud.

I think you've got it on posting stamina. The things you're annoying about you just keep going. I'd actually love to see you vs Pepsi in a posting slapfight that you both cared about. I'm not sure who would outlast there.

Even though Toronto is expensive, I love living rent free in PepsiFree's head. Kinda empty in there, though.
