After seeing all the rage of the GameFaqs character battle, and ShokoMaster's effort in creating a fighters character battle, I was just thinking, is it a good idea to organise a similar battle that includes the members of MMcafe BBS? It would be quite interesting to see how we guys will pit against each other's popularity in the BBS.

We will need about 64 names and the brackets will be determined by the number of posts as of a certain date. (i.e. the one with the largest number of post will pit against the 64th member, and so on)...

But of course, I need a lot of support from the members here to make this work. Some people might not like this competitive game...Anyway, it is still a rather sketchy idea, but I think it will be fun...

So how's the idea?

A popularity contest for real people? I'm surprised no one has streight out said "no" yet. It risks everyone that doesn't win feeling bad. The winner just gets to brag, having won only a popularity contest. I wouldn't advise you to do it, but I really wouldn't care that much if you did. If you do maybe you should ask for people to opt themselves in to the contest, so only people that want to participate are included.

Maybe instead you could do a video game character tourney-by-voting contest here at this bbs. The purpose would include getting to see what mmcafe posters think instead of gamefaqs this time....

as for the brackets, how about making it random? just gather all the names of whoever and put it in a hat (or uh, haha i dunno. there might be a program or something out there that can randomize stuff) then set it up from there

I agree it should be you have to opt yourself in, not just selecting 64 random board members...

but why would anyone out right say "no" to popularity contest?

If it makes everyone feel better call it "Junior Vice Class President of the Madman's Cafe Election"

and everyone can give speaches about making more dances, longer lunches, cheaper sodas in the vending machiens, and other things we have no power to actually give once declared winner...

that way no one knows it's just a popularity contest

Personally, I have no problem with it. It's not something I'd take personally, and it's just for fun. I guess it is kind of a popularity contest, but we don't know who voted where or anything. I would allow myself to be in it.

...Yes, I think this tournament is cool...But of course to make this tournament such that it doesn't create more arguements, hatred and dislikes in the friendly BBS here, I suppose I will put on a few ground rules.

Anyway, I didn't have plans to make this compulsory for everyone here in the first day, as I knew some people will oppose to such popularity games. So I will just leave this thread open for more opinions for a few days more, and I will start a new thread inviting those interested to join in. I just found out that I don't need 64 members...32 or 16 members can form a tournament too.

For those who are interested in joining, I also urge you guys to exercise GOOD SPORTMANSHIP. Please DO NOT brag about you winning in anyway - that will definitely hurt the loser badly. Neither should you be a sore loser. Or asking people to vote for you - this is no presidental election. Only words of encouragement and "Thank You" are allowed to be spread across the BBS here. This is purely for fun and shouldn't be taken at all at a serious note.

That will be all for now. GET READY FOR THE BIGGEST TOURNAMENT OF MMCAFE !! ^_^

sense he asked if it was a good idea; I was just surprised that most of the posts were supportive. Like Magus Darkstar said a popularity contest is never a good idea. I wouldn't be upset if he did the contest though.

haha funny. Student governments are joke, atleast at all the schools I've been to.

Perhaps add another dimension to it like having the contestents have some type of text battle with video game moves, like I think was mentioned in ZamIAm and JJJ's above posts.

I think it is a great idea; for those caring enough to participate; also it should be categories; like "the most meaningless post" (T.E., you got that), best drawer, worst engrish; etc....

If people do want to participate, it might be fun; if it is done count me in; and I hope to be the last person with no votes... I am like the lover that you never want to meet ¬_¬
