AOTH2 Last Longest poll 1 of 5: Top Contenders

[Super Silver Haze]

So I'm doing five of these polls, one each day this work week, to build anticipation for the Treasure Hunt, and possibly have people issue public challenges and thump their chests and stuff like that. There will be four players listed in each one, and you vote for the one you think will do the best. Then we can all peruse the results and stroke our chins thoughtfully.

The options in this one are four people who I feel have a decent chance of winning the whole thing. 4sigma would win any such poll, so he's not included, even though he's the REAL #1 favorite to win.

Also, there may possibly be a double entendre in the thread subject, but that's not my department.

[notmyfriends]

You had better put me with other stupid people if you make one of these with me in it. I don't want to go 0 for.

[Linus]

You should make the polls public...more smack talk that way!

[Exiled Man]

Would I have more votes if people knew who I was? I don't have any vacations scheduled for the next two months.

[cubedbee]

I don't have any vacations scheduled for the next two months.

Well, I have vacation scheduled for every Monday for the next two months, so I think that gives me the advantage.

[notmyfriends]

Feel free to explain to us who you are.

I'm with you on this one.

[Exiled Man]

Feel free to explain to us who you are.
Those who know know, and anyone who doesn't know wouldn't know what to do with the information if they knew or wouldn't know what not to do if they didn't know.

[notmyfriends]

Oh just for that, you're going down!

[cubedbee]

Oh, you're Griffin.

[Exiled Man]

Oh just for that, you're going down!
It truly is a shame that this poll isn't public. I'd like to know who the other observant person is.

[Kohl]

Normally, I think I'd pick AA, but he may have time constraints. My second thought would be cubedbee, but then why wasn't he my first thought? I'd feel I'd be insulting him with my vote. Obviously, Exiled Man doesn't stand a chance. So I voted for J.T. because she is the only person who didn't have enough time for the EC game and yet still followed it closer than the vast majority of us. Just think what she will do as a participant in the game! :eek:

Thanks Kohl, I think? Hmmm, that was pretty circular logic there, but I'll take it as a compliment. :wink:

[4sigma]

This is a tough poll. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 or 3 of these players in the final four.

[notmyfriends]

This poll would be so much more fun if it was public. There's only 14 votes so far, someone should restart it.

[J.T.]

This is a tough poll. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 or 3 of these players in the final four.

I wouldn't be surprised to see you win it all, but SSH didn't put you in the poll.

Seriously. This should just be the championship poll. I haven't voted yet because I expect them all to do well.

[Kaia]

SSH, nmf wants to be in a poll with me. kthanks

[rekrap]

I wouldn't be surprised to see you win it all, but SSH didn't put you in the poll.

Neither would SSH. :shrug:

[CindyLou Who]

SSH, nmf wants to be in a poll with me. kthanks

:iatp: from my perspective. Kaia probably shouldn't be in that particular poll. I'll make nmf look great!

[4sigma]

I wouldn't be surprised to see you win it all, but SSH didn't put you in the poll.

Well, I'd be surprised if I win it all again. Anyone listed in this poll could easily finish ahead of me.

cubedbee was in the final 4 last year.
Exlied Man could easily have won last year except for his vacation.
AA is clearly a very strong newcomer.
J.T., weren't you the only one who solved SSH's evil "first half / second half" riddle last year?

This is a very strong field.

[cubedbee]

Well, I'd be surprised if I win it all again. Anyone listed in this poll could, with great difficulty and luck, finish ahead of me.

IFYP.

[4sigma]

Oh, and I suppose I should have said "last time" all those places I said "last year." It really does seem like just a year ago. :shrug:

[notmyfriends]

Do we have a final list of 40 participants yet so that I can make the official rankings?

[J.T.]

IFYP.

:iatp:

I have no idea to which puzzle you are referring. :-?

[notmyfriends]

She can solve puzzles without even realizing that she's solving them?


I need to change my vote to JT now, please.

[Super Silver Haze]

Do we have a final list of 40 participants yet so that I can make the official rankings?

34 players are 100% confirmed:
4sigma, Abstract Actuary, BigDawg, Car'a'carn, CindyLou Who, cubedbee, Exiled Man, Former Actuarial, GoHuskies, harvma, hotdime, hotkarl, Hukleberry, J.T., jelizmanning, Jonas Grumby, Kaia, kiwi, Linus, lipman, Mel-o-rama, MrsFrog, notreallyme, otley, Phoebus, Pills, punmanbowler, RDH, rekrap, SirVLCIV, soyleche, strategygamer, thing, UA's Sidekick, and Ultimate Anyone?

Then the last unofficial six players (who still need to reply to my pm) are dinosaur, JAS, Luda, notmyfriends, Pills, and Rosebud. dinosaur and Luda have indicated to me that they might drop out, but they're not sure yet.

But we're never going to have a final list of 40 until you reply to my pm. Wait, that's the joke, isn't it? :oyh:

[Super Silver Haze]

It truly is a shame that this poll isn't public. I'd like to know who the other observant person is.
At that point in the day, it must have been me :D

[Abstract Actuary]

I think it is only fair of me to let all potential voters in this poll know this about me

Also, since I will definitely be out before the draft round:-?

I just love being a part of drafts! I've decided I can't miss it.

[Exiled Man]

The poll has been closed for a few days.

[Abstract Actuary]

Well don't say I never warned anybody, then ;-)

[CindyLou Who]

Well don't say I never warned anybody, then ;-)

Stop it! Don't be silly!

[4sigma]

We need a new poll for what round of the draft AA goes in.
