Late night spam FTW!

I'm off to go deal cards. See everyone's entries in a bit

 

[gjeff12]

Well it's more like a waiting room before the poll.

 

[gtuned]

You probably thought it couldn't be done, but I found a pony related video.
Good luck everyone!

Photomode sub-forum seems to be exploding.

Well now, this has flown off-topic. Try to reel it back in, guys!

I'll try to pass the time, in a related way: the "dead air" time between thread creation and poll creation is something I've tried to minimize. I have the slight advantage of being a member of staff, so I can post without the required time delay between posts (so H2H polls always end within about a second of each other), but for polls...

I have a text file for each week's poll, with the URL and IMG tag stuff, and the username below it, a blank line, then rinse and repeat for the whole poll. This serves as a handy reference for any self-voting, and also means that once the thread itself is created, the only thing standing between it and the poll going live is ([Shift+End]+[Ctrl+C]+[Alt+Tab]+[Ctrl+V]+Tab+[Alt+Tab]+Down+Down])^25 (or 15 for 2.0, or the smaller amounts for H2H weeks). That's usually only about two minutes between thread creation and poll creation, including typing the poll title, checking the necessary options, and previewing to ensure there's been no copy/pasting errors when I collected the submissions from peoples' posts (sometimes a [/CENTER] tag or something will get in there).

Yes, I'm a bit of a nerd about the polls, but I love me some efficiency

More importantly, if you just read all that - I've used up a few minutes of waiting

 

[Wallbreaker]

Thanks for that 👍

Minutes, oh no. I'm so full of excitement, that took a few seconds...

Nah, fawk it. You guys'll have to survive without me. Hope it's up in a few hours then, seems unlikely now, but who knows.

Je parle un peu Français, bonne nuit, la toute GTP. Not sure about that last part, is it masculine, i.e. "le"?

 

[Wallbreaker]

Has there ever been more excitement about a tournament poll than this time?

 

[gottago2]

were not excited or anything are we... nooo we've only got 3 pages of comments before the polls even up no big deal haha

 

[PaperHats]

Doubt it.

I guess I'll miss Poll Launch. My friend is having a few problems and I need to help. I expect it'll be up in a few hours, right?

Je ne suis pas fatigue. Il est cinq heures ici. Bonne nuit Fishy. Parlez vous à demain.

 

[tonilleshusband]

Sounds like everyone is leaving just as I am showing up for the party.

 

[gjeff12]

I know my last sentence is wrong, but oh well.

 

[Wallbreaker]

I´m already in bed but I won´t sleep until I have seen that poll

 

[gjeff12]

Don't worry, us far-westerners will be up for a while.

 

[tonilleshusband]

Me neither - no rest shall be had until the poll has commenced.

Bonne nuit. Je suis très fatigue.

Good night everyone. It's 02:09. *slowly... falling... wait... need moar caffeine... awww... gone... zzzz*

 

[gjeff12]

Watch, I'm leaving now so that means the poll will probably be up in a couple minutes.

I can't wait to see these polls, espically with the influx of talent recently

I do that too, but this time I decided to save all pictures in my hdd and upload them all. Thing is, I should have upload during the week, but no and decided to upload them all today and make all the code.

Anyway, it's alive. Keep the off-topic to a minimum please and if there is any problem, P.M. me.

Great work Luís! A great start to the tournament! Had a quick look at all the images on my phone before bed and the poll looks good. Will vote later when I can look at the full size images 👍

 

[Wallbreaker]

Thanks for all the hard work, Luis!

That b/w Subaru Pic is

 

[SlipZtrEm]

Ooof, that's why, huh?

Awesome job Luis, I'll be looking over all of them more thoroughly later this evening, the iPhone won't do them justice

 

[gottago2]

seeing the way the votes are swaying so far... i entered the wrong picture but i feel confident enough to make the next round

 

[Cade]

Interesting field.

 

[Jason_B]

37 Entries, very nice. Great job Luis.

Top 32 from each?
