The 4th Annual Plan B Person of the Year Award - for 2016
Posted: Sat Jan 07, 2017 8:42 pm
In spite of popular demand, The Plan B Person of the Year Award is once again being considered by me, The Plan B Person of the Year Award Founder, in the time honored tradition of me offering something for people to complain about that directly affects them or it doesn't since it doesn't really matter much to them anyway.
Having learned absolutely nothing from past years, I have decided to add another step to the process for the sole purpose of accomplishing more than one thing. This year, as opposed to previous years, rather than me randomly choosing candidates to place in a poll, I am offering the opportunity for you, the membership, to nominate FIVE candidates. The five candidates with the highest amount of votes will be placed in a poll for a final vote.
Of course this will require me to physically count written votes for nominees, which will be a challenge to my math skills while placing me in the highly pressurized position of having to be accurate and to spend much more than the few minutes I would normally spend on this highly anticipated annual event.
It has not gone unnoticed by me that in past years there has been an evil conspiracy to stop any one person from becoming The Plan B Person of the Year and members have attempted to time their final votes in a way that upsets the process and leaves no clear winner. This tells me that deep down inside their competitive minds everybody actually wants to win but figures they won't win so they attempt to sabotage the contest in their own selfish interest.
One person, who shall remain nameless but goes by the name of Scooter, pretends that he doesn't understand why such a contest exists and thinks it is silly. Obviously, he is so obsessed with wanting to win that he can't bring himself to admit that fact. That's why he pretends to not care. I'm very perceptive of people's feelings and have the uncanny ability to interpret things in any manner I so choose.
So, on to the subject at hand. I am aware there is a possibility that more than 5 nominees will tie with the same amount of votes. I have come up with a process for dealing with the situation if it should manifest itself. I'm not sure what the process is yet but trust me, it will be amazing I can tell you that. You're going to be so happy, folks.
So, here's how the nomination process works: Everybody can nominate ONE person up to THREE people to be a candidate for The Plan B Person of the Year Award for 2016. You may change your nominations, but only within your original post. When you no longer have the ability to edit that post or the deadline has been met, you're done. You may include a statement to explain why you think your candidates should become The Plan B Person of the Year 2016 – or not. And of course you can nominate yourself if you are an egotistical masochist.
Since this is the weekend and I'm sure that everyone in the Plan B membership wants to participate, nominations will be accepted until Tuesday, January 10th 2016 at 12PM Pacific Standard Time. At that time I will tally your votes and move forward to phase two of The Plan B Person of the Year 2016 process.
As always, any helpful suggestions will be considered to have been suggested whether or not they are taken seriously by me which they very likely won't.
Humbly yours,
Joe Guy
