Bump

Things that go 'bump' in the night
Should not really give one a fright.
It's the hole in each ear
That lets in the fear,
That, and the absence of light!

I'm gonna withdraw - I'll get one vote tops, if that.

Thanks for the nom, though, whoever it was.

Awwww :(

iSplit the votes from the nomination thread.

iMerge the votes into the voting thread.

iDetect a problem.

Okay, I forgot that merged posts will be sorted in chronological order, so Aerou's post is no longer the first post. This can problably be fixed if the people who posted before 7:20 PM EST would post again. I can then split out the posts that precede Aerous post.

/me goes to check for duplicate votes resulting from the merge.

Actually, if I merge in an earlier post by Aerou, she can edit her own posts accordingly. That should be easier.

I believe Matthew (Sdaeriji) got all the votes from the old thread, so they can be split out I think.......

EDIT: :fluffle: for Cogitation :) Dziekuje bardzo!

Just based on all this hard work without pay and without complaint, I'm thinkin' Cog is going to win this little competition. :)

I can't believe you didn't put Branin on here. Not only is he a nice guy, but he'll cry if you don't.
He didn't get nominated?
Darn.

Yeah, I voted for myself. So? :p

ARGH!
I do not understand this "1 v 2" and "3 v 4" thing.
Could somebody explain what I'm supposed to be doing?

Okay, done.

Aerou, I moved over an earlier post from your voting thread over here so that your post is once again the opening post. You'll need to do some editing, but I think you can handle things without Mod assistance from here.

...

Aerou isn't doing a 32-way poll where you only get one vote. Aerou has the guys split up into random pairs and everybody gets to vote for one guy from each pair. So, you cast 16 votes.

The winners from each pair are then themselves paired off and the process repeated. 32 contestants, then 16 contestants, then 8, then 4, then 2.

Again, dziekuje bardzo :).

just pick your favorite of the two. the winner will advance and you'll vote between those two. continue that until only two are left and vote for numero uno.

ARGH!

Sorry for the confusion. It just makes it easier for myself and Matthew to tally up.

We also thought it would be fun, and a different way to have a competition, rather than a poll or everyone voting for one person out of so many.

i suppose i should vote as well

there we are. not as easy as it should be.

I just noticed that if I win round 1, I could be up against Andaluciae or The Plutonian Empire in round 2.

I did a search on their posts and they're both pretty nice fellows. I may be out by round 2. But, it's an honor just to be nominated. :D

Look at this guy run his mouth. Why did I have to go against him? Cog will crush me :(

Actually looking at the bracket, if i can sneak past cog and probably kanabia i might be able to nudge up quite high without anyone noticing..

Ugh, too many hard choices. This is what I get for wanting to vote for Cog, Lasc and TPE >.> A lot of those I left out are because I couldn't choose between the two people (or didn't know either of them, or couldn't remember if I recognised their names from liking them or disliking them...)

Look at this guy run his mouth. Why did I have to go against him? Cog will crush me :(

It was all random :( sowwy. I almost moved some of the people around, but I realized that wouldn't be fair to some of the others. :fluffle:

I'm on the other side of the draw from LG and LP though so thats probably a good thing. I've studied the bracket, and it could have been worse. Don't think I'll beat Cog first up though.

Indeed. People think its hard to vote now, but it gets harder! :eek:

Well, no worries ... I won't mind if I don't win. I am nice, for the most part, but I am - and will always be - the world's premiere Happy Asshole(tm).

I can't believe you didn't put Branin on here. Not only is he a nice guy, but he'll cry if you don't.

Its kind of nicing being the one in charge of the "Nicest NS Guy" competition, since that means those that don't win will *hopefully* still be sweethearts. I tried to make it as fair as possible :).

For the most part I voted the one I know better/at all. No hard feelings. NSers are the greatest.

Thanks for voting for me. :)

How could I not? I mean, ignoring the whole axis of evil incident, you've never been anything *but* nice.

And the Axis of Evil thing was just funny ^.^ I didn't even realise I was meant to be insulted :p

And a really BIG thankyou to everyone voting for me! You've lifted my mood heaps :D

Branin and The Imperial Navy didn't make the list? I missed the nomination thread. :(
:eek:
And all along I had thought TIN was a woman!
I hope I didn't call him "she" and offend him or anything yet!

Eep! I didn't even know I was in the running! I'm gonna get my head beat in by Eutrusca, who I might add is a connsumate gentleman, voting for me against himself :)

Thanks everyone who voted for me. You're wrong though; I'm an ass.

That was hard..... not to see my name on the list :(
and voting for people who are nice vs people I like

:(

My vote goes for Los Banditos to win every round. For some reason noone voted for him... :(

:(

Awwwwwwww
*:fluffle:s poor Monkeypimp* You know people love you. Hell, you deserve love based on your name alone.

's just the evil, evil random-drawing. If you were up against anyone other than the people I voted for, I would have voted for you*


*I know... doesn't really help... 'strue though :()

:(
sorry mate, I would vote you more popular and more humorous then Cog :)

I am only voting for two..

1) Zeppistan

2) Sdaeriji


Zeppistan is by far the nicest guy on the forum...but Sdaeriji
is a close second.

well its probably like this;
zep = god
most of the rest of us = nitrogen fixing bacteria
you = a howler monkey

:(

...

Eh?

Oh, technically I was refusing to choose between you and Kisarazu. So, being up against you wouldn't really have helped Monkeypimp - would just have been the same way it is now.

Branin and The Imperial Navy didn't make the list? I missed the nomination thread. :(

:fluffle: :fluffle:
And as a proxy for TIN
:fluffle: :fluffle:
(these are all in a perfectly straight hertrosexual manner)

She's married to the other guy, maybe a little biast. Although the close far has me confused as well.

I don't know if I deserve to beat Armed Bookworms, but I don't think either of us could take down Picasso in the second round.

I just don't get how he's far but I'm close. I'm confused.

I just don't get how he's far but I'm close. I'm confused.well it all relative, there is a signifigant distance between you two, just not as great a one as between you and the rest of us pond scum.

No, no, no..lol

Zep is my real life husband. of course I am going to pick him as the "best" what would you expect? LOL

But.............

Sdaeriji is my choice for the best guy on the forum next to my own real life husband, cause he's just too kewl.

hey now, no need to bring in that godless secular humanist string theory.
Dimensional theory and string theory are for the most part separate. I do know of a really freaky short science vid called Not Knot. The thing blathers on and you really only learn two things from it unless you're some genius mathmetician. The first is, any knot that can be undone without severing the material that makes it is not a knot, and the second is that in one of the dimensions, the seventh if I remember correctly, all angles are 90 degree angles.

...which is why nobody is taking this seriously (or, at least, why nobody should be taking this seriously). It's like a contest for "Who's the most humble on NS?" If taken seriously, it's self-defeating.

"Oooh! Wow! I'm being voted most humble! See how humble I am? :D " --Random Contestant
"Random Contestant: That... is a window. Your humility was last seen going out through it." --Cogitation



If all of us really are nice people, [i]then it shouldn't really matter to us who's the nicest among us. A nice guy isn't going to gloat (in earnest), nor is he going to be a sore loser. None who deserve a serious nomination for being "Nicest" are going to take it seriously*. We're just playing around. That's it. ...at least, I very much hope that everyone knows we're just playing around.

* Interesting paradox, isn't it?

"I got voted Nicest Guy on NationStates!" Well, whoopty-freaking-doo. ...and? So what?

So, after all that rambling, I guess I'm actually agreeing with you... to a point. I don't like popularity contests that are taken seriously, that are taken as though they actually mean something. However, as long as everyone knows that it's just a game and treats it accordingly and plays nice, then I don't see a problem with it.

Sanc old buddy, you have nothing to worry about, I havent been reading a lot of these posts (in fact just the last few pages) but from what I've seen you are ahead of me in the polls at this point. Rightfully so I might add. If for whatever reason I do win (and I won't - so it's not what you might call a going concern), I hereby give away the victory in advance to you - you deserve it more than I. :)

Bump. If no-one else votes, I can't lose to Zhuk, and that would not be fair.

My vote goes for Los Banditos to win every round. For some reason noone voted for him... :(
Thanks my good man, but it is for the best. Would not want to add another line to my sig.

Now without further internal monologue, the Los Banditos voting ballot:
1 v 2: Legless Pirates v Gawdly
3 v 4: Sarzonia v Adrian Barbeau Bot
5 v 6: Lascivious Maximus v Sanctaphrax
7 v 8: Niccolo Medici v Eutrusca
9 v 10: Alien Born v Zhukhistan - abstain
11 v 12: Superpower v Praetonia
13 v 14: Sdaeriji v Kisarazu
15 v 16: Euroslavia v Lunatic Goofballs
17 v 18: Tribes of Longton v Keruvalia
19 v 20: Andaluciae v The Plutonian Empire
21 v 22: Ecopoeia v Zeppistan - abstain
23 v 24: New Sancrosatia v Haken Rider - abstain
25 v 26: Cogitation v Monkeypimp
27 v 28: Upward Thrust v Kanabia
29 v 30: Armed Bookworms v Vittos Ordination
31 v 32: Pacitalia v Jordaxia - abstain

Obviously they didn't notice me. I wouldn't win anyway, because i'm not POPULAR enough. Who cares if i'm nice or not, not enough people KNOW me.

I was going to add you into the group of people, but after we decided to do a 32 man bracket adding you, Branin, Eichen, and a few others would have meant a 64 man bracket....:(

I wanted a few other people but everyone only had 2 nominations. I'm sorry if you feel slighted, this was all in good fun, and it wasn't *supposed* to be a popularity contest.

*hugs* ,:fluffle:, *kisses* and anything else that makes you feel better :). I find you insanely witty and from what I've seen of your posts you're a nice guy. If you want I can run a different "Nicest NS Guy" in the future and you will be sure to be in the running :)

I'm sorry, perhaps I should have stated in the rules that if you didn't know the people, or only knew one of them not to vote? I dunno....

I do know that it was "all in good fun" and wasn't supposed to be taken seriously, or turn into a popularity contest. I tried to state in the rules, in the very beginning in the nominations thread, the criteria for nominations/voting were layed out so that you didn't just throw in people you had heard of, but rather people who you deemed respectful, and just a genuinely nice person.

I apologize to anyone who feels slighted, or who thinks this is a "stupid popularity contest". I thought it was going well when people weren't voting for one out of a pair they didn't know, or that it was evident in the amount of abstentations when people couldn't make a sound judgement call.

If this is causing to much of a stir, it can always be deleted. If enough people want it to be over with, then I'll just have the thread locked, and stop the competition.

I'd also like to add - yay all those people who think I'm a nice guy (all 5 of you!)

*does little dance in chair, accompanied by dancing flower, to random pop music*

You'll have to forgive me if I don't vote. I am just dumbfounded that there are people on this list that I have seen be intentionally cruel, while several members I know that I have ever seen be mean to anyone are left off. I just don't get it.

I think you should re-name this poll/competition, the most popular male, rather than the nicest.

Incidentally, you might check out the actual dictionary definition of the word "nice". It essentially means a simpleton. I don't believe that applies to anyone on the list or at least not the people I know that are on the list as most all of them are fairly intelligent. Perhaps if you don't want to re-name it "most popular" you should re-name it "kindest" so as not to insult the contestents, though I don't believe it really applies to all on the list.

Just a thought.

I know that I, for one, voted based on who I had seen to be the kindest. I don't know about others though...

Unfortunately, to really enforce the competition guidelines of "nicest" or "kindest", you would have to require evidence be submitted for that. Then, some people would want to submit evidence to the contrary, and before you know it, the whole thing turns into a not-Moderator-sanctioned mass-trial. To avoid that really requires that we go by the honor system, here.

Incidentally, you might check out the actual dictionary definition of the word "nice". It essentially means a simpleton. I don't believe that applies to anyone on the list or at least not the people I know that are on the list as most all of them are fairly intelligent. Perhaps if you don't want to re-name it "most popular" you should re-name it "kindest" so as not to insult the contestents, though I don't believe it really applies to all on the list.

I'm sorry, perhaps I should have stated in the rules that if you didn't know the people, or only knew one of them not to vote? I dunno....

If I didn't knew them well enough, I voted for the funniest names. :)
funny name= nice person.

I know that I, for one, voted based on who I had seen to be the kindest. I don't know about others though...


I'd say #5, 6, or 7 is what we're going for here.

Well of course, but those are, well quite divergent from the original root "not to know".

I do believe you voted on the basis you stated, and many may have, but I don't know that that basis was what got people nominated to be here. If it was, there are at least a few deserving candidates that are missing from the list and, in general, they are people with whom the majority disagree regardless of how kind or benevolent they are. It seems to me that those nominated are people identify with the majority, rather than how they treat others. That isn't to say there aren't deserving candidates on that list, there are several that I have found to be genuine, thoughtful, kind, benevolent individuals. There are also many I don't know well enough to comment on and then there are several I have seen be intentionally cruel. I just see it as a travesty that the latter group are here when there are other deserving individuals who have not been included.

nice ( P ) Pronunciation Key (ns)

adj. nic·er, nic·est

-Pleasing and agreeable in nature: had a nice time.

-Affectedly modest; coy: “Ere... /The nice Morn on th' Indian steep,/From her cabin'd loop-hole peep” (John Milton).

(I also looked it up in the thesaurus, and "nice" was not synonymous with "simpleton")

I was just the one who set the bracket up, I started the thread because I was asked to. If you disagree with some of the people, then don't vote for them. I said from the beginning that everyone would disagree with the list because it was based on personal experiences with the people nominated. For example: Eichen is not on the list, I for one think he's a really nice guy, TO ME (as well as a few others), but I have seen some of his posts to others that weren't so nice :)

Incidentally, I don't remember the last time I used "nice" as an insult to someone? In fact, I don't think I've ever said it to someone in THAT context. I've already changed the title once, and started a new thread, and no one seems to being taking "nice" to mean "simpleton". And no, I'm not renaming it to "most popular" because like I said, its not SUPPOSED to be a popularity contest.

And no, I'm not renaming it to "most popular" because like I said, its not SUPPOSED to be a popularity contest.

Certainly your prerogative. If you really want to make it something other than a popularity contest, having blind nominations on the basis of a random sample of posts by an individual and have people vote on their actual content without names attached. Otherwise, it really is just a popularity contest.

I know that the definition I posted is currently considered obsolete, however, it is far nearer the original definition of the word, which is IMO the more valid, but my feelings on the maleability of language are bet elaborated on in a different thread.

Carry on. I'll not respond further unless directly responded to. Sorry for the interruption.

Well I believe most of these people see the nominees post on a daily basis, so if they felt that someone shouldn't have been nominated they would have said otherwise, yes? Like Cogitation said, we based it on the honour system, I figured that the majority of NSer's would vote based on who they thought was most deserving, perhaps I gave to much credit.

The original definition IS obsolete, and I wouldn't have used the word "nice" if I thought it was insulting. Again....it was all for fun.

No need to say you're "sorry for the interruption".

I just see it as a travesty that the latter group are here when there are other deserving individuals who have not been included.

No nomination, no inclusion. If they had been nominated, they'd be here. Hell, I was nominated because I nominated someone else!

This is just for fun.

Heh, yeah, I nominated you out of spite, didn't I?

For the most of us, it's just good timing. :)

Honest to god, is it really that big a deal if some people didn't get on the list? It's not as if this is some sort of official NationStates event to determine the undisputed nicest male poster. It's just a bit of fun. And if these people really are so nice, why do they need to win a competition to know this?

This is just for fun.The sad part is, some people don't seem to recognize this. :(

@ Everyone who is being unkind to Aerou, and others responsible for this thread

These people are only doing this out of their own kindness, and were only trying to promote a little bit of harmless fun. They've given their own time and efforts simply so that you might have a good time. Please lets not ruin this by taking it too seriously! :)

In parting, Id like also to say that I hope there are no hard feelings for people being left off of the poll, or are voted against... because these things don't matter at all. All of us have our own definitions of what it means to be 'nice', and we are all winners simply for being here. In my opinion, simply being nominated was touching, that was the end of my concern in this competition right there. From here on in its just an interesting little way to take my mind away from the stress of work.

Lets just have some fun with it - seriousness be damned! ;)

Don't give up. Its February Madness, baby! Sometimes the cinderella wins and takes down the big dogs.

Legless Pirates - Well, he beat me in the first round, and I need to prove how nice I really am by voting for the man that publicly biotch-slapped me.

Eutrusca - I almost went with Lasc because of his tongue, but Eutrusca has cuter grandkids.

Alien Born vs Superpower - Abstain due to lack of knowledge.

Sdaeriji - LG will get enough votes without my help, and Sdaerji nominated me.

Keruvalia - Always dug that name.

Zeppistan - Aaargh! A tough one, but Zep wins because he lets Steph hang out with us.

Cogitation vs Kanabia - Aaargh Ver.1.5 - Mod or nu-hippy? Mod or nu-hippy? ABSTAIN-O-RAMA.

Legless Pirates vs Adrian Barbeau Bot LP is a good guy, but I can't vote against Sealab. D CUPS FOR JUSTICE!!!

Lascivious Maximus vs Eutrusca I don't know why I keep voting for the old man.

Alien Born vs Superpower I cannot distinguish.

Sdaeriji vs Lunatic Goofballs I know Sdaejiri is sitting at home praying for votes, so here ya go.

Keruvalia vs The Plutonian Empire Even though I agree with him a lot of the time, I have never thought of Keruvalia as being that nice.

Zeppistan vs Haken Rider I do not know.

Cogitation vs Kanabia Kanabia survived the single worst thread I have ever seen.

I'm gonna lose anyway, so I think I'll withdraw before it happens.

Uhhh.....the spread between you and Keruvalia is like....small.....why "withdraw"?

Frankly, I'm surprised. I'm with Vittos ... I never really thought of myself as all that nice, but apparently I might be top 8 worthy. Don't drop, though ... it's early yet.

What are the numbers, please?

Yeah. It is early. Nevermind then. ;)

Yeah. It is early. Nevermind then. ;)

9-5, and you still have an entire day left.

And only the person that nominates you can withdraw you. :)

Yeah, damnit! If I'm not allowed to withdraw, none of you jerks can either!

Yeah. It is early. Nevermind then. ;)

Right now, our little branch is in my favor 10-4 (I thought it was 11, but I counted Steph's vote twice since there are two posts there). I withdrew my vote for myself (as that was just silly).

Some folks who voted in round 1 haven't voted in round 2 yet and, frankly, there are some folks in these parts who simply don't like me.

Yeah, damnit! If I'm not allowed to withdraw, none of you jerks can either!
Uh, uh, uh, uh! Tsk, tsk.

Noooo calling us jerks. That's just gonna cost you votes. ;)

:eek: Thats not very nice now is it?

I didn't vote for you, as i thought that it would make you feel better. Although i think i did nominate you. But that was just out of spite, so it's ok. ;)

Have you ever heard of "self-fulfilling prophesies"? They ARE real phenomena, you know. Call yourself a jerk, you'll end up being one, so try being nice to yourself for once, okay?

Pwwweeeeeeeeeaaaasse???
*makes puppy-dog eyes*

Asking like that works really well with my gf, but she's a woman. And really hot. I don't know how well that'll work with him. :D

Well, since Sanc is not coming back - I guess I'll have to tough it out.
(Im sorry Sanc! I really am! I didn't make it back here in time and the voting had already started!! I feel awful about it - you're such a nice guy Sanc. Im sure if this ever happens again, youll be right on top where you belong. I'm honored to have gone up against you - the finest there could have been. :)

Either way, it will be an honor to be placed beside Eutrusca, and an even better one to bow when he wins.

This was very difficult indeed, and I am torn not being able to just pick everyone.

These ones that you bolded both, are you saying you don't pick either?

I'm saying I pick both, dick.

Hmm, that too. I wonder what the ruling is on voting for both people.
