The poll was sure shut down quick...
This will more than likely be one of those things where we have to use a private group.

I think the real question here is: "Ya dig?"

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

That is because it was done wrong. First you need to figure out how many people are allowed to compete. Set down some guidlines on how old the account must be and if they are currently permabanned or not.

Once that is all established you post it on the front page. Then you go through all of the picks and group them up. Once you have the grouping then you can create an entire bracket and let people vote on them each week.

Hell you wouldn't even have to host it on here. I am pretty sure there are sites out there that will do all of the polls and bracket hosting.

I would love to see who we get. I would think it would be a great social experiment for the community. No need to put them into power or let them join HFCS. Hell you could do it bracket style like the NCAA tourney and just have people keep voting.

The poll was sure shut down quick...

Are you implying that Impy and Watermelon King should not be allowed to win?

Okay, well I vote for Skibur :P

His wording came off as more of a "if they are currently permabanned, undo that injustice" sort of thing.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Bungie political parties? Is there separate groups trying to get ninja power by popular vote within the B.net?

  • 07.21.2012 2:04 PM PDT

Key

The vast majority of people would vote for who they think is the coolest or nicest person rather than the person who would be a good forum ninja. Plus, how are any of us going to judge something like that?

  • 07.21.2012 2:11 PM PDT

When I grow up I want to be bitter and spiteful.

"i liked the reality where everything was on fire better"
-legato on remedial chaos theory

Everyone would vote for Duardo.

Also if you pay attention there's usually something of a trend to be realized in Ninja selection. Whether it's interns, Bungie Jumpers, or persons with simply the right connections who rarely post, you can usually tell why someone became a ninja.

Nonsense. It takes more to be a mod than just people liking you. I demand that there be a Swimsuit portion of the contest.

I think we should have a community vote on who we'd want as ninja. Not a serious one, but one for the sake of curiosity and a bit of humour.

Vote Ben 2012. I promise change.

I can rally and get the support of the people. Plus I can bring more lulz.

I believe I will generate 7% more lulz than Ken with my lulz stimulus package. The community forum is too big to fail!

As a lot of the "seasoned" vets around here have already said, it would turn into a popularity contest. I think it's best to keep the status quo on this concept, Bungie knows what they are looking for, so does HFCS, we on the other hand, do not.

no real reason to think Lady Gaga would make a good president.

Hey! I said that! Does that make me a seasoning, too?!

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

If it did, it would be hilarious. Some people take this site fartoo seriously.

Yeah it is pretty bad on this site sometimes when there is a poll.

I could see a moderator election getting ugly.

The Black Chapter

I'd vote elmicker for the lolage

  • 07.21.2012 2:39 PM PDT

No because it would probably end up being a dick swinging contest between Ken, backed by the Forum Tryhards, Harlow backed by Sapphire, and someone from mythic group backed by mythic group. At that point it would become who can make more alts faster.

As Forum Ninja, I will generate 77% more lulz than the next leading competitor! In addition, I will start a campaign to have the darkness of Bungie thrown away with the light of tru7h!

Vote 999 2012. I promise the light.
