Always feel weird with these votings because I don't frequent all the sections of the board like I did a decade+ ago.
Zaara vs.
Dicktrickle - Like this one, neither bothers me. So eh.
Ignatius vs.
Lightning Lord Rule - Mods always get the first round nod.
... vs.
frenzied wombat - Changing my justification with an edit (vote stays the same) because I somehow forgot about his recent Israel posts. How? Fuck if I know. Oversight.
Indyocracy vs.
Bandwagon - Sorry Bandwagon, it's only because you're in my threads way more often.
Butthurt vs.
Ambiturner - The first deserving candidate out of these first 10. Really stepped up his asshatery this year.
Blazin vs. Maul - I like you Blazin, but see above.
Denamian vs. Nirgon - I don't even know why either one is here, except Denamian because everyone else is voting like me.
Kaines vs.
Boozecube - This seems like it should've been a later matchup. My boy Booze gets it for sure, and he's really rubbed people the wrong way this year so this should be the start of a deep run.
Cybsled vs. Talos - Cybsled easily. And it's bullshit that it'll be Booze vs Cybsled in the next round, as he deserves to be in the top 4.
Gutterflesh vs.
Tuco - Normally I wouldn't do this vote, because he disappeared for a while. He still deserves it for selling us out. Which was probably a decade ago.
Hoss vs.
Soygen - Shit, is Soygen actually still posting? Maybe I don't even notice, but you get my vote not for the current year, but your prior year asshatery. Is that wrong?
popsicledeath vs. Muurloen - Feel he doesn't post often, but when he does, I just want to fucking punch him in the dick.
Zapatta vs. Oblio - This one is a toss up. Zapatta just cause he posts way more?
Rajaah vs. Music For Fish - In an odd way, these are two very similar posters, even if it doesn't seem like it on its face. I love MFF. Rajaah on the other hand seems to mean well, but he's like a poster from 7 years ago.
Deathwing vs.
BrutulTM - Captain Super Spreader, easily.
Jasker vs. Sanrith Descartes - Nothing against Jasker, I just don't feel like Sanrith is really an asshat except for maybe the Jew stuff.
Mist vs. Erronius - Doesn't feel fair to Erronius, honestly.
grim1 vs.
Kiroy - Another toss up for me. Neither bothers me as much as apparently they do others.
Adebisi vs.
Chukzombi Astr0Creep - Fuck, this is another that should've been a way later matchup. Astr0 gets it just because of his Facebook fan club old man shit.
Stupidmonkey vs.
lurkingdirk - Stupidmonkey didn't stand a chance against this contender.
Edaw vs.
Izo - How the fuck is Edaw even nominated? You faggots hate our dank memes or something?
Dr. Retarded vs.
Chris - I feel like this one doesn't even need justification. Although oddly he's been a lot quieter lately.
RobXIII vs. Moglyzoke Moogleman - This seems like a repeat of last year to me? RobXIII is like a perennial asshat.
spronk vs.
Bodhy - Another matchup I don't understand. Can neither be an option?
I'm glad
Daezuel
mentioned that
Gavinmad
isn't nominated, either. Went through the member list looking at total posts, reactions, and points (what the fuck are points?), and was like...how the fuck am I never nominated? I know plenty of people hate me. But then people like Gav, Lanx, and Fana aren't either, so I felt better about it. Edit: Also, shit, didn't notice Lanx got a bye. That makes more sense.
