Elect the First Citizen of the Month of 2006!

[Sir Tim Drake]

Time for the first COTM election of the new year (both the Chinese New Year and the other kind)! The polls are now open.

To refresh your memory, the winners of the last six elections are:

July 2005: Rallura
August 2005: i_mmmchocolate
September 2005: K'Nort
October 2005: Dreadstar
November 2005: Joe Rice
December 2005: Gilda Dent and Paradox

And here are the rules. Please remember that votes for banned posters will not be counted. There is ample precedent for this policy.

1. Select the CBR citizen who, over the course of the past month, has consistently conducted himself/herself in a manner that has helped to foster a friendly, welcoming atmosphere at the CBR Forums. This poster is being recognized for being friendly, courteous, and helpful. REMEMBER: COTM is *not* a popularity contest; it is a recognition for being an exemplary member of the community.

2. Your COTM nominee *must* be a registered CBR Forums member with a track record of no fewer than ten posts (at least one of which must have been posted during the month of the COTM in question) at the time that this thread is posted. Votes for non-registered individuals; members without the requisite track record at time of voting; or members who are permanently banned will not be counted.

3. You may submit *one* vote for your chosen nominee. Fractional votes or votes for more than one nominee are not allowed, and such votes will be disregarded.

4. All votes must be for individual posters only. Votes for couples or larger groups will not be counted.

5. Please be clear and explicit about whom you are voting for. Vague words of praise that are not explicitly indicated as votes will not be construed as votes. Moreover, clearly identify who your nominee is by using only the nominee's complete, current, official CBR username as it appears on his/her profile. No nicknames or abbreviations please.

6. All questions and comments about COTM should be directed to me (Sir Tim Drake) at Sir_Tim_Drake@yahoo.com. Alternately, send me a PM. Community Forum Moderator Brian Cronin will neither answer questions about nor handle administration of the COTM election process.

7. Avoid thread drift. Indicate your choice for COTM and a few quick comments about your choice in the *same post*. Any other discussion needs to be taken up in a separate thread.

8. This election will be open until midnight Eastern time on Tuesday, January 31st. After that time no further votes will be counted.

Enjoy the voting!

[Bloopinator]

Don't you mean 2006?

[Sabrinaset]

I vote for Lurker. One of the funniest posters out there.

[Sir Tim Drake]

Don't you mean 2006?

Yes, I do. Brian? :)

[BlairH]

This month I'm voting for West3man.

[Mon-el]

My vote goes to Calamas

Honorable Mentions go to Typo Lad, PatrickG, Lorendiac, The Wayner.

[Dan Apodaca]

I vote for Mike Smith. It would be good enough that he was an intelligent and well-spoken guy who earns the respect he gets, but he's also genuinely nice and considerate.

He extended a hand to me when I needed it, and that's exactly what a CoTM should do.

[howyadoin]

Mike Smith.

[Kamen Rider Might]

Stretch Dude.

[The Humanist Hero]

I vote for west3man.

[Lone Ranger]

Sir Edward

[phoenixrising]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

Not only has he gone above and beyond for me of late....but I'd say the man is long overdue.

[i_mmmchocolate]

TRICKSTERPUP

[Hawaii Business Magazine]

Kid Omega.

[Ray R.]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

A gentleman and a scholar. Gave me a emotional lift when I needed it this month.

[Trystenn]

Hmmm for the nicest DICTATOR, im going to have to go with YEOMAN :D

[Brian M.]

I'm gonna have to vote for Cayman.

[Faded]

I vote for Cayman.

Go Cayman!!!

*does summersault*

[Pepsigirl]

Cayman.

.

[Paradox]

To be honest, I REALLY want to vote for Gilda again. As "CotM"y as she was last month, this month it got amped up another notch, I think. But, that would hardly be fair.

So, I'll throw in with Dr. Hfuhruhurr. Always consistantly a good poster and a great guy.

[jeangreydp]

cayman!

dats right

[SteelTownr]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

The guy made it a point to look me up when he came down here to Ft. Myers and he bought me lunch.

This man deserves the honor.

Mark B.

[thik_3rd]

kamen rider might

[Sentinel K]

[Joe Rice]

Kid Omega.

[Roquefort Raider]

I vote for berk.

[Typo Lad]

Nate Carol.

[atoningunifex]

I'll add my vote for Cayman. I enjoy reading things by him.

[Uncle Nobs]

I'm gonna jump on the CAYMAN bandwagon. I mean, if he can stay friendly in X-Crescence, that's gotta count for something---!

[Hi-Fi]

Cayman!!!




...

[Beast]

Cayman! The finest man in town. :)

[twilight]

I vote for my main man Cayman.

[Jaye]

Gotta go with Gordon Smith this month.

[cactusmaac]

Leslie Lee III.

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

Note to the committe: I did NOT buy Steeltownr's vote. I just forgot to file my CotM lobbyist disclosure form... (I am flattered by his vote, as well as from the other distinguished posters who mentioned my name).

My vote, however, goes to Gilda Dent. I've gotten quite a kick out of her posts this past month.

Let me give a shout out for an honorable mention to Shellhead. Top notch work this month, young man!

[thetechnocrat]

My vote comes after days and hours of thoughtful processing and trying to figure out who best served the community.

After much deliberation I came to the fact that I have no idea so......


SteelTownr since his Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl.

arghhh!

[Siddon]

Cayman because they are holding my wife and children in X-cres and if I don't do what they say they will die (or I'll get banned).

Anyways a blackmailed vote for Cayman

rot in hell

[The Mirrorball Man]

I vote for Gilda Dent.

[Silver Knight]

Well I woud thrown my hat into the ring.

But I'll just go ahead and vote for my friend Cayman!

[Valmore]

I'm trying to figure out if I find it encouraging or disturbing that the entire X-Board has rallied on the Comm board for a common cause. If only they'd rally against the poor writing of Milligan in such a fashion.

That said, I vote Ray Rivard for eating his Chunky Soup.

[Winslow]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

[Dennis K]

This contest always makes me feel like I'm back in high school. Who's in the cool clique? Who's out? Who's got the coolest car in the parking lot? Who's the captain of the football team? Who's on the cheerleading squad?


btw, I vote for Spackling Compound.

[Slam_Bradley]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr. Proof that Bigfoot lives in Wisconsin.

[Bloopinator]

Cayman dude.

[yeoman]

As the only worthy canidate I vote for myself. :D

[Expletive Deleted]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

Really, I just like the fact that I can vote for him without having to pad out my post to ten characters. Not that it'd be a problem, since I'm typing this stuff anyway. Err . . . nevermind . . .

[Donald Stone]

As the only worthy canidate I vote for myself. :DYeo also has my vote.

[JCAll]

As the only worthy canidate I vote for myself. :D
That is very unethical....but it works for me.
I'll vote for yeo as well.

Begger :)

[Dreadstar]

Before I vote, I'd like to say that it's GREAT to see the Rumblers and the X-folk out in a show of their solidarity! Woo! and Hoo!

That said, Dr. Hfuhruhurr is my vote.

[Cei-U!]

Me for Dr. Hfuhruhurr too.

Cei-U!
This is not an absentee ballot!

[Cleric of Hell's Brigade]

My vote goes to Yeoman.

[Alex]

Cayman, because he used to talk to me in chat back in the olden days.
And because if he wins, i don't think he will even notice until someone tells him.

[Captain Sarcasm]

I vote for Yeoman!

[Scorpion13]

I vote for Yeoman.

[Chevan]

Yeoman for me, too.

[K'Nort]

Dr H. It's neat when people make a point of meeting up in real life.

[spoon_jenkins]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

He's a kind dude who tries to make folks feel welcome and he contributes a lot to discussions.

[Jessie]

He and I pretty much hate each other, but Yeoman have done quite a bit for the "community" that I perceive and participate in.

[Ed Cunard]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

[Tami]

It wasn't an easy choice, but I will vote for Cleric of Hell's Brigade (Yeoman came in a close second).

[Guts/Batman]

Well...I'm torn between Gordon Smith for trying to keep some semblence of order in Rumbles but...

I'll edit my post and vote for Yeoman as well because of his contributions to Rumbles.

[Pól Rua]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

[Super Samurai]

Yeoman

He's a-ok.

[Peter]

Yeoman for lord emperor of Earth! Bow before him minions!

*somebody whispers in Peter's ear*

Oh. Well, I also vote for him to be Citizen of the month of January 2006. That works too.

[Pendaran]

Yeoman, for he is as beyond mutants as they are beyond humans.

Also, he's the cliffs upon which waves will shatter and be broken.

And, you know, so forth.

[raoulduke]

Another vote for Yeo, the only candidate I've had a knifefight with.

[Nate C.]

Dr. Hruguvnsknvjrnjnfcjkneckjnhudhbiuhhfihrufiurhfiruh frhfrfrfrfurfyrfrufyrfurfyrfrfrflsndfnrlnfrjnfjnjr nhfuhrfyuhr.

For the win.

[Justin Davis]

I'm voting for Cayman. He's active on a lot of boards here and he's a cool guy.

[Mr.Sandman]

My vote goes to Yeo, simplely because it makes it simpler for me to manipulate the person in power when I know them.

So Says Lord God Emperor Sandman!

[hitokiri_]

manny pacquaio!!!!

he shamelessly punked 3 mexican champions.


edit:

yeoman.

[Anthony Johanson]

Well, my vote goes to Yeoman!

[Demonicuss Krinn]

I'll do what the cool kids are doing.

But since the cool kids aren't here, I guess I'll vote for Yeoman.

[Rabid Trekkie]

My vote goes for Yeoman, mainly because I'm afraid that little kid that's always around him will nuke my home.

[Dalak]

A Vote For Yeoman Is A Vote For Totalitarian RUle, and therefore I vote Yeo!!

All Hail The Yeo!!

[Z-man]

Yeoman, because nobody knows me except for him and Peter.

[Crinos]

I vote for Yeoman as well.

[Green Gardner]

I will give Mike Smith an honorable mention. He's a great guy. Always respectful, uniformly intelligent, and a funny guy to boot. There aren't enough posters with that combination of traits, in that abundance.

However, my vote must go to Yeoman, cuz you know...mob mentality. Also, shameless self-promotion is funny, and in my book, there is no better contribution to a community than humor.

[Genma:TheDestroyer]

Yeoman.

He's been there for 90% of the events that have made my years here memorable. And it's always fun to talk with him about old times, and folks who've come and gone.

[zombie]

I shall vote for Ayo.

[BigJayStudd]

Yeoman + COtM= Crazy Delicious.

[thethinker]

I will vote for Yeoman as well.

[Core]

I'm voting for Stonegold.

[Papergirl]

Typo Lad.

Because he's a damn nice guy and a terrific friend to have. And I miss hanging out with him.

~Bev

[Devon C.]

Know what?

Go get 'em Yeo. I got ya back, busta.

[Jake V]

Yep, Cayman.

[Stony]

I would like to vote Cayman
A very cool dude who always made me feel welcome here and extends that same trait to others.

Go Rex!

[The Real Nemo]

Mm... I vote for Yeoman, he deserves it after all this time...

[Tre Styles]

I vote for Cayman. One of the friendliest posters that I know.

[heretic]

Mm... I vote for Yeoman, he deserves it after all this time...
What he said.

HTG

[Dizzy D]

I like Yeoman, but I have to go with Cayman for keeping the peace on some of the more heated thread on X.

[Neolucifer]

I vote Cayman as well .

[Tom]

Dr. Hfuhruhurr

[Steel Spider]

I vote for Steel Spider

He's really been a big help and has pretty much kept CBR afloat with his amusing tales of debauchary and group sex...

What? No, I'm not Steel Spider... I have a moustache... he doesn't, so therefore we couldn't possibly be the same person...

My REAL vote is for Cam 63

[The Fury]

I vote Cayman.

[Karl J. Barnes]

I vote Cayman.

[Matt Algren]

Kid Omega gets my vote.

[The Lucky One]

For running the Mutant League -- which has gotta be a friggin' huge investment of time and energy, but keeps us all endlessly entertained for months -- I've gotta throw in a vote for mattbib. Take a bow, big guy!

-D

[Arrjay]

West3man *character limit dance*

[dazzler_slave]

I am placing my vote for the ever eloquent Cayman!

[The Grand Beef]

I was told to vote for Cayman.

~Beefy

[The Dog]

I vote for yeoman!

[traxler]

Cayman makes me laugh.
Thank you.

[Perry Holley]

Another vote for Cayman.

[stealthwise]

Kid Omega.

[Flight]

Cayman!!!!!!!!!!

[Azrael52]

I say Lester Carthan. He's funny and witty, and he had a thread theis much entitled: "I’d like to apologize for being such an obnoxious, vicious, jerk" where he appologized for being a troll. No one viewed him as one, he was just lookin at some of his past posts and felt he owed people an appology. Good guy.

[MacQuarrie]

I'm voting for Dreadstar. Especially for his classy post in this thread.

[StarsAndGarters]

I vote Dr. Hegekrgr.

I mean Dr. Hfuhruhurr.

[Daniel Lewis]

I vote for Yeoman.

[Dave Cote]

I vote for Jeffrey W Kramer. Honorable mention to The Shadow.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Yeoman.

Honorable mention to Dr. H.

[Forefinger]

Forefinger

[ChaosBurnFlame]

Yeoman has my vote.

[Metaphysician]
