2017 PotWR Round 4: The General Election

[Curmudgeon]

He had multiple infractions for racial slurs. The final one was using the n word along with a drawing of black people being smelly and primitive. Not sure if it was an attempt at humor but he shouldn't be surprised about the ban.

More voter suppression from you imo.

Have I mentioned to you that my browser has a glitch where I can't open spoilers?

You could just free agedflatus and that spoiler would disappear. Glitch is probably from all the gay prons.

We get a sticky thread spot for a year. What's Irish's going to be about? What's his format?

Irish isn't some right wing lunatic troll like Palis & Co, who speak in monosyllabic slurs for the left. If anything his type of conservatism could bring some much needed balance back to this forum. No airs, no bullshit. Straight talk. In super secret private he confessed to me that he was going to try something so radical nobody in the WR has attempted in in like 3 years: a no emoji term. Pretty high bar he's setting for himself. I'm curious to see how long he can resist the notorious emoji lobbyists.

No, but he has also admitted he doesn't care about the sticky, and he's just going to let someone else run it. He's not going to actually try and make it a great place for discussion. He doesn't even care about it. You voted for, literally, nothing.

Also, I missed the fights tonight because I was babysitting my nephew. FML.

Good night all ....

 

[HomerThompson]

Here's one I just wrote that I like.

I'd like to challenge @irish_thug and @HomerThompson to quote what they think are their 5 most substantive posts in the last month.

Both of you have a lot of posts, but you also presumably know what you posted, so it shouldn't be too hard.

I don't consider correcting historic injustices and systemic racism to be racism. AA was a reasonable attempt to correct things from America's past. I'm all for a large scale analysis of it to see if it has achieved the desired impact, and if it is still necessary.

But, I don't think it makes any sense for the Justice Department to go after Harvard hard like this, when there is so much disgusting corruption in the corporate world, not to mention organized crime, drug cartels, etc. It's a huge misallocation of resources.

I'll keep looking for more from this month to post up.

Vote @irish_thug! Take back the War Room!

Right now the stickies include:
1. This thread
2. A gambling thread
3. A redundant social thread
4. Another social thread for veterans
5. Debate league (best idea the WR ever had but never seemed to pan out (IMO)).
6. the rules

If it weren't for people pm'ing me about this election I wouldn't even know it was going on because I never look at the WR stickies because they suck.
@Arkain2K makes amazing threads and tends to them better than any TS I've ever seen -- it hasn't changed anything.
Celebrating the poster of the month or the hack of the month is just another popularity contest.

So, your idea is to vote for someone who'll do nothing?

Why wouldn't it be good to have another quality thread week in and week out on different topics? There will be tons of good discussion in there.

Also, letting the forum blow off steam at the end of every month is a fantastic idea. Change things up, get loose. It'll be awesome.

Also, LOL @ saying the sticky threads suck, but thinking that adding a good one is somehow a bad thing.

No, I voted for a friend who asked for my support.
And, while I like your passion, why do you think your threads are going to be the interesting ones week in and week out? Or even that there will be great discussion? I've seen threads about NASA turn into threads about Michelle Obama's dick inside of 3 posts. Its not that simple.

And blowing off steam month by month can only dilute the pent up frustration we release every year around this time in our End of the Year Award Bitchathon.

Well great threads tend to stay at or near the top. Just because one has the power to automatically make it a stickie doesn't mean its a great thread.

No one said that that being a sticky makes a thread great. I said that I am going to make great sticky threads.

You aren't exactly known for making great threads now, so what makes you think you can make great threads week after week for a year?
Thats not even a dig, btw. I consider myself one of the worst TS in Sherdog history. Its not easy. And on top of that, once the OP is finished, you lose control of your thread eventually. Eventually it runs its own course and you have no control who is going to post in it and where they're going to take it. You could have 52 great ideas and great OPs and wind up with 3 decent threads. Who knows.

or some dude could hijack you with a shitty v11 with a dumb rotating title and nearly empty op. I hear. This is hypothetical.
