Since I can't vote for myself
Actually, for the finals you CAN vote for yourself but why would you want to do that? That's just stupid!
Yeah, voting for yourself is kinda lame imo so I'm not gonna do that.

Speaking of beans, am I still owed two cans of beans from Tom Fulp himself? Arrange a Beatles meetup and then the deed will be done. :P Also, voting for dragons is a fashion?
What's this beans thing you guys keep talking about?
Coop and Tom Fulp with a can of beans!
Oh so that's what they're holding in the picture.
I had no idea what they were doing there actually, but now I get it after reading Coops newspost.
And what's with The Beatles?
Possible Liverpool meet?
Liverpool meet?
I'm not UK'er and don't care much for meets in general, so don't expect to see me there. Although I would love to go to the home of The Beatles someday.
Earfetish... All I can remember from him is that he was a dick sometimes. Or at least he used to be. I don't know what he's like now, but NEVR should've won there. No doubt.
Maybe he was a few years back but he was better later on.
Reading through his latest posts he seems to be alright now. A few one-liners here and there, but an okay poster overall.
You're not looking at the big picture here. I can change my aura at my own will while other mods like Coop and NEVR can't! ;)
But you don't have access to the gold one do you? ;)
No but I still have my blue aura and that's what counts! Being a gold dragon would make me much heavier. :P
Yes, but you could be like... Bahamut-ZERO! Or something.
Yes, it's about time you win Best Poster ;)
I'm hoping I do get it. It'll be a tough competition with Scarab still around but we'll see. If I do win Best Poster, maybe I'll have a happy e-retirement.
You're not gonna retire from posting then are you?
If so, I'm definitely not voting for you :P

He doesn't seem to post all that much these days. To be honest, it was one of those things where he'd been beaten a couple of times previously for the best poster award, and as a long-term user of the site (moreso than I was at that point), the users finally thought it was his time and the majority got behind him.
I guess that might be a good reason to vote for him, but like I said earlier I have never been that impressed by his posting capabilities. He seemed a bit similar to guys like EyeLovePoozy and poxpower if you ask me. They often act like assholes, but somehow receive a lot of praise from the general forum regs.
I don't know what they're like now though. Just things I remember from a long time ago in my first active period in the general forum.
But they're only novelty awards; I enjoy the drama more than anything else ;P
Even though there hasn't been a whole lot of drama in the current awards... :(
I remember all the complaints at the end of last year with how poorly it was organized and such. And wasn't there also a lot of ruckus about davidzx and GOTHCLAWS? davidzx leaving the BBS or something for winning the drama queen award, if I remember correctly.
Indeed, I've hardly seen any drama yet.
Ah well there's six months between every award ceremony and that's a long time on the BBS. People come and go, so I think it's hard to keep yourself in the picture for the award for such a long time.
Yeah, and there's no way that I can become as active as I used to be in 07-08 again. I was taking a year out of education so I had very little to do a lot of the time, which gave me loads more time for NG. That won't happen again basically until I retire as an old man. I wonder if NG will still be around then? If it is I might make a comeback when I'm like 60 and freak out all the kids, haha.
Lol. I can't see myself still visiting this site once I passed 60, but it might happen. If NG is still around that is.

Anyway, yeah it looks like he got his fathers talent. If he keeps playing like this he might become one of the top players of this tournament.
Gerd Müller and Thomas Müller aren't related. "Müller" is a very common name, just like "Meijer" is in Holland. ;)
I thought you said he was... Oh well.
Judging from the first games I'd say Germany are the favorites at the moment. With Spain fucking up and Brazil winning with a lousy 2-1 to North-Korea, Germany have been the only ones to perform good in their first match. Let's just hope they don't peak too early.

When I won Most Underrated, a few weeks later, I attended my first NG London Meet. Tom was there as well and as a result, I made a "Most Underrated" award - took one baked beans tin, sprayed it gold and when that had dried, I put and NG Sticker on it.
Then I got Tom to present me with said tin.
Yeah I've seen the picture before but I always wondered what the idea was. I just read it in your newsblog :p You should've written 'most underrated' on it or something, although it would hardly be readable.
