The best post of 2020 so far šŸ†

Fwiw, I figure Iā€™ll probably plan on a mid December wrap up, and vote showdown till the end of the year or so. Probably best to have any final entries in by then.

So there you have a dozen fine entries all primed and ready to be the BEST POST OF 2020! Please take the time to look at them all, and then vote in BOTH of the surveys below. The first survey is for The Best Post, and the second is for runner UP. Both polls close at 11:59 pm, on December 31, so take your time and get it done by then.

Looking pretty split so far. Place your bets now.

Just wondering how that poll looks to a colour blind personā€¦oh well, now we know maybe a bar graph would be better for next year

I canā€™t read the results if that says anything :smile:

Thats what I thought,
you can however hover or select the pie slice and it will tell you
option:number of votes
ie. 02:3 in this example

Also starting at 12 Oā€™clock going clockwise, the options remain in numerical order (zero votes are not visibleā€¦ obviously) regardless on vote numbers, whereas the Bar graph adjusts to display highest number of votes first.

The same.

Early voting looks evenly split. I guess that means we got a lot of top-notch posting going on in the forum

What poll?

Looks like we have a clear favorite for runner up, but if you havenā€™t voted yet, itā€™s a toss-up for THE BEST.

Submarine, cā€™mon. Obviously.

Now that 2020 is over (thank God) I thought itā€™d be a good idea to announce the results.

Looks like a tie for the best post, with 5 votes each for #4 and #12.

BUTā€¦ Runner up has a clear favorite with 6 votes for #11.

Congrats to all, and it looks like Pilgrimaster has 2021 up and running already.

Sadly, I must disqualify entry #12 on grounds the joke does not work with the actual correct pronunciation of my name. Therefore I crown myself winner of the best post of 2020!

Iā€™m a fair king though. You will receive a prize.

I object! :point_up:

Reason 1: The ā€˜Phonetic Inconsistency of the English Languageā€™.
Reason 2: This ambiguity of pronunciation adds further value to the joke,
leads the reader to the 'Experience of Understanding.

Please consider my appeal!
*ā€¦dial is turning, Atillaā€™s posts disapearing from the forum, so as Atillaā€¦aaaw :scream: *
