Are you allowed to nominate yourself?

Apparently yes, hence the need for two nominations (by two different persons I guess).

Macer, again, how am I voted by that thread I made???? It is a perfectly logical question.

Near master level online players cannot beat 1200 rated players in blitz? Isn't that a little strange?? Ok, maybe its just me that finds it weird.

As organizer of this contest I simply receive nominations and put them up. I do not filter nominations, in order to avoid bringing my personal bias into the selection process. If you want to opt out of the contest please leave a message below.

Opt-out accepted.

Alright then :) If someone else nominates you again then you will be on the final ballot.

You better be joking--what type of response is that? I thought you would have a go at me again for being a 'typical, shell-suited NEET Chav' or something, ha ha!

being nominated is not sopposed to be a negitive...

He might be an attention hog and surprisingly stupid, but surely he does not fall under a definition of a troll. I mean, if you classify him as a troll, well you might as well put me down as a candidate in your contest for the position of Pope.

1) you dont let anyone post on your wall

2) you dont let anyone send you messages

3) you dont accept group invites

4) you dont accept freind requests...

ect...

Xieff, for the sake of Churchill's quote. I am afraid the thread I link will soon get deleted, though.

I like how you let "freind" and four instances of "dont" slide, but not et cetera... :)
