Marilyn Manson · 8 Jul 2005, 23:05

Rules again:

- Nominations are open throughout the week, but close on the last day of that week. Polling then takes place for three days, starting on the first new day of the next week. For the purposes of the POTW competiton, Sunday will be considered the last day of the week, and Monday will be considered the first.
- You cannot nominate a post by yourself.
- You may only nominate a post that was posted during the week in question. For example, you cannot nominate a post that was posted on the 2nd to go through to the vote for the week of the 20th. Posts not from the week in question will be discounted. Obviously, this means that when the nomination thread is first posted, on Monday, there may not be anything to nominate; this will of course change as the week progresses.
- Only one nomination per poster. Second, third, fourth nominations, etc, will be discounted.
- This is only applicable to GD posts.
- Nominations which are subsequently deleted are invalid. Sowwy.
- Nominations must have links to said post and a direct quote. If you are nominating a 'witty' post or retort, then it is encouraged that you also quote the post that the witticsm was in response to for purposes of clarity.

For example:

I nominate this post by Marilyn Manson:

- All valid nominations go through to the vote.
- Admins and Mods can nominate posts, and they will be subject to the above rules.
- Purposely crappy nominations such as quoting quotes of quotes or quoting quote URL's and the like will not go through. You can't fool teh system.
- There will be no official 'interference' in the process. Whichever post people like the best, wins.

Marilyn Manson · 13 Jul 2005, 18:23

No POTW this week, it'll just be a poll on the best jokes, so just link or post them here and I'll bung them up.

Nope. You can't nominate two posts, either.

Marilyn Manson · 13 Jul 2005, 20:00

The rules are suspended for this week. Just bung the jokes down here and I'll do the rest.

Dead_Meat · 13 Jul 2005, 20:22

Hey, that first one is completely valid and should win, basically because it's mine.

1-X · 13 Jul 2005, 20:28

Maybe we can put up a selectable 'outrage post' fashioned after this:

I am sickened/outraged/busy initiating roids and this is taking time away from planning galactic conquest by this thread as my Dad/brother/battle commander was on the train before/nearby where the bus blew up/on iRC at the time of this and I was worried sick/concerned/busy initiating roids for several minutes/hours/ticks until I got in contact with them and found that they were fine/shaken but unhurt/in the same room as me all along but I hadn't noticed as I was busy initiating roids and planning galactic conquest so you all be ashamed of yourself for being sick/thoughtless/stupid enough to go Terran

One Rescue worker decribed the appalling conditions they had had to endure: cramped, suphocating and filthy carriages, with the stench of death and a feeling of dread and dismay... he vowed never to catch the Victoria line from Brixton into work again.

One man injured in the blast described the scene. "It was horrific, I thought I was going to pass out. the heat was incredible, I often wondered if I would ever get out alive, we seemed to be in that tunnel forever... and then the bomb went off."

Yesterday, family lunch, I see the "sunday joint" is just a big blob of meat. I said "That looks like something that flew off that bus in London".

They looked at me like I planted the ****ing bomb.

By Yahwe. I have laughed everytime I've seen it.

Deepflow · 14 Jul 2005, 17:30

and this is why we love 1-X

MrL_JaKiri · 18 Jul 2005, 09:33

These should really have been pollified 3 days ago.

Marilyn Manson · 18 Jul 2005, 16:23

Bit of a problem there, in that I have had no internet access for some time and I've been moving all my stuff out since Saturday. I'll put them up tommorow and they can run for another week.

Nusselt · 21 Jul 2005, 16:37

this has now being going on for so long* that AQ have already brought out the sequel.

*by going on i ofcourse mean MM is just well lazy

Marilyn Manson · 21 Jul 2005, 16:43

I call this very feeble.

Hopefully, all will be well on Saturday. (I'm going to Sam and Mark's wedding tommorow, and I have two minutes before the library staff chuck me out, so **** you.)
