I figured it's time. As summer approaches, the noobs need to know the pecking order of things.

So, here we go....


Power Rankings for the week of 4/6/08:

1. Zekyl -- Strong week so far, bolstered by the new "bukdow" section.

2. SDB -- Using his power of mass posting to overwhelm the oppostion.

3. Glenn -- Timely attatchment to cogent threads elevates his position.

4. Uncle Mxy -- Sudden lack of interest in "Aks Uncle Mxy" thread counteracts strong performance in Politics section.

5. Bukdow -- Like Kobe, he's hated. Like Kobe, you cannot ignore him.

6. MoTown -- Consistently strong all-around performance offsets sudden lack of interest in The Church of MoTown.

7. DrRay11 -- Name change confused voters... thought he was DrTre11.

8. Vinny -- Has yet to make his annual baseball season surge. Probably waiting for the Tigers to finally win.

9. Tahoe -- Confrontations with Mxy in Political forum drops him in poll.

10. Mola1 -- Will always be in Top 10, just because he owns you.

I take it you'll be updating these every week?

MoTown is WAY too low and Zekyl is way too high.

How is SDB ranked 2??? All his posts are like 3 words long.

11,500 SDB posts = 6,250 <insert any other WTF member> posts as far as content

Also, I assume I'm in the "Also Receiving Votes" secion of these rankings...?

That wasn't 3 words.

It was an exaggera--whatever, perhaps I'm just zealous.

Maybe jealous?

Don't be. NOBODY wants to be me.

It was an exaggera--whatever, perhaps I'm just zealous.
I'll admit, I hang more in the non-sports sections. By next week I will have a new Top Ten.

I'm certain you'll be in it. But for now, consider yourself the Golden State Warriors of WTF.

Also, if you actually HAD a pic of Lacey Chabert in your av, rather than just her name, that would help you probably by a good 3 positions.

Where's Zip?

I don't want to be #1 or anything, but I still want to know what makes Zekyl #1. He's a very good poster and does everything well, but he does nothing great.

Others receiving votes (not in order):

Wil Ledzema

Zip Goshboots

Jethro34

WTFChris

DennyMcLain :)

Big Swami

Codename V

Fool

Zekyl is the Ohio State Football team of WTF.

Also, I will not bow to public pressure. By findings are based on science and payola.

Missed the white text.

Where's Zip?
Thats what I was wondering.

By the way, I have never had to buy my wife a 144 carat diamond ring because I went to Colorado and misunderstood the local dialect.

You have to admire that kind of integrity and invisible ink.

You have to admire that kind of integrity and invisible ink.

LOL. Integrity doesn't pay the bills.

I'm honored to make the top 10.

I think you have to have a certain # of posts in the week to make the rankings.

Does that sound fair, Denny?

How is SDB ranked 2??? All his posts are like 3 words long.

11,500 SDB posts = 6,250 <insert any other WTF member> posts as far as content

Anyone else call this one in their head?

Lack of production will hurt you. But overproductive fluff will hurt you as well.

The new rankings will look nothing like the first.

LOL that all are hating on SDB. Simple fact is, the more you post, the better chance you have at writing something strong. SDB doesn't just participate, he guides thought.

You may send the money order to the PMed address now, SDB

How can I forget b-diddy?


if i was going to bet my life on anything, it would be that bukdow is the type of guy who puts alot of merit in knowing the names of strategies in chess. note: this does not suggest that bukdow is good at chess or even knows anything about those strategies, just that he is very impressed (and thinks its very impressive) to know the names of strategies.

im glad that this thread validated that theory.

Denny, it's on its way.

And geerussell will definitely make it in the next rankings for this all time classic, though I don't know if he contributes enough for the top 10.



Do you know who I am? I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal. People know me. I'm very important. I have many leather-bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany. I have a subscription to both Harper`s and Smithsonian, and actually read them.

gusman has had some gems too

No offense to Denny, this thread is good, but I'm in favor of a playoff system.

Are you suggesting a Post-Off?

Wow, I got pwned on this list I guess. (runs home to cry). I win the Tourney challenge and don't even get on the list.

Are you suggesting a Post-Off?

I am suggesting a Tournament.

A tournament of Post-Offs?

I'll admit, I hang more in the non-sports sections. By next week I will have a new Top Ten.

I'm certain you'll be in it. But for now, consider yourself the Golden State Warriors of WTF.

Hmmm...thanks for the hints.

I'll take a note.

A tournament of Post-Offs?

More like the Tournament of Cool.

We'll name the regions after posters who don't post here anymore.

Actually, SDB's idea sounds kind of funny. Start thinking of old posters to name the regions after. Who is worthy?

DrTre?

And I'm not sure how I got #1, but I'm very much honored and would like to thank you all for making the WTFDetroit experience possible. And to think, I used to rely on Detnews.com and freep.com for my sporting news. Ugh!

Zekyl finally getting the love he deserves.

It won't last.

I don't know how long the rankings will last with only one person being in the voting committee. Also, Swami not making the top ten upsets me.

How does a guy with 100 posts make the top ten? Who is this Glenn fellow?

Actually, SDB's idea sounds kind of funny. Start thinking of old posters to name the regions after. Who is worthy?

DrTre Region

Taymelo Region

Other names to consider:

Mikey G
The Kid
Wrath of Diddy
田武雄

I like it, Mo.

...Do we even have enough members to put in 16 in each region?

MacDaddyfromcincinatti ???

Hijacked!!!!!!

I scoff at your feeble attempt at rendering my wonderous concept obsolete. For your information, I owe my ranking system to several leather-bound books, of which I frequent for nuggets of pure knowledge whilst relaxing atop my mahogany deck, pontificating as several past issues of Smithsonian are shit upon by my Prize-winning King Charles spaniel, Vonnegut.

Also, a tourny would be a good idea.

POWER RANKINGS FOR WEEK OF 4/13/08

1. GLENN -- Akss the right questions, gives the right asnwers. Cunning display of intelligent postage lands top spot.

2. UNCLE MXY -- Mxy spreading his ownage from Poli forum, attacking at will, leaving destruction behind. Tahoe runs for cover.

3. SDB -- Cannot deny the power of mass posting. It's like he has telemarketing software recalibrated for posting instead of calling.... Hillary calls for an investigation.

4. DrRay11 -- Confused voters not confused anymore, because Michgan State has a shitty baseball team.

5. ZIP GOSHBOOTS -- Though Morning Constipational is no more, sticking his business into every forum across the board lands Zippy the Travis Henry Poster Child Award.

6. MoTOWN -- Because he owns.

7. VINNY -- Tigers starting to win a little, so Vinny moves up a little.

8. bdiddy -- First week snub followed by an angry call from Ric Buchler. Fixed.

9. MOLA1 -- Up one spot due to sheer will power.

10. GEERUSSELL -- Took down BCS powerhouse Tahoe in Poli forum. But true test will come next week with Big Swami.

11. BIG SWAMI -- Strong surge could equal unstoppable force in coming weeks.

12. TAHOE -- See #10.

13. ZEKYL -- Absolute hating for initial #1 crushes title hopes.

14. WIL LEDEZMA -- Shocked by top 2 last week, Wil dropped his focus, his game, and an opportunity for the top ten. A battle with SDB is two weeks away.

15. BUKDOW -- Board-wide manlove for Bukdow cloaked one-dimensional offense. Battering by Glenn drops him 10 spots.

16. FOOL -- Ready to make a huge push. Just..got...to...get..outta....bed..

17. WTFChris -- Third selection from the powerful Syndicate conference. Mola barks "Fuck y'all".

18. JETHRO 34 -- Can't get UM football out of him mind. It's debilitating, and it shows.

19. UxKa -- Figured it's time to make his move... right after he finishes that delicious beer. Yum. Baptist-like lip for SDB Fat Chick post loses point.

20. DennyMcLain -- Just hanging around the top 20. Waiting for his spot to launch new comic strip on unsusspecting board.

Ouch, twelve spot drop? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!

LOL Great job again Denny. Power ranking alone should land you in the top 5.

Ouch, twelve spot drop? WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS?!

What's that??? Hard to hear you from down there....

Not Ranked- darkobetterthanmelo, Kstat

I feel like I was blackballed out of the top 10.

Association with Cleveland is a built-in handicap.

Public denouncement of Cleveland will increase ranking 5 spots.

"Ain't nothin' that includes giffman" . . . .

"Ain't nothin' that includes giffman" . . . .

Oral sex with a goat, and you're in.

Pics, or it d'nt happen.

I've publicly denounced Cleveland on many occasions. I've never even been there and I can guarantee you its a shit-city with shit-teams and shit-fans. I hate everything about the state of Ohio.

We're not idiots. If you've never been there how can you live there right now? You might fool Bubbles and Ledezma but you can't fool the rest of us.

LOL. Vinny attempting to own Zeke for the purposes of rank advancement.

I didn't photograph at the time of the oral act but can send you some glossy pics of a wool-filled shit I just took. Would that count as confirmation?

Dismissed.

Forget I ever mentioned it. :)

That's very very disturbing.

POIDH?

LOL. Vinny attempting to own Zeke for the purposes of rank advancement.

Although that is a pretty awesome fringe benefit, no, the rumors are untrue.

I've been stuck outside the top 5 for two weeks now. I'm going to have to pull off something drastic this week to move up.

Prepare yourselves...

I think this is rigged.

I think this is rigged.

WWE style, or BCS style?

More NBA style. Subtle influences on the officiating from the top man.

So, you're saying Mola rigged this to get a Syndicate Conference member the top spot?

Thin ice. Check your PMs.

Nah, just wanted to make sure NBA was mentioned in there with rigging as a concern. I think you made the best decisions you could based on the information you had.

Are you insinuating our beloved WTF Sportsbook is somehow tied into this power ranking???? How dare you trash such a sacred instituition.

It's also a good idea. $$$$$.

Zekyl,

Everything SDB does has a reason. You may not understand that reason, but that's because you're not on his level. Sometime he might feel like telling you everything, but now is not that time. Until then, SDB asks you to shut your mouth and enjoy the show.

MoTown making his push, assist by SDB.

I think this has the potential to become a huge circle jerk. About as gay as people spending all day waxing it while they wait to lay their smack down on the Jim Rome show.

#17 is jealous he's not a little higher on the list...

Nonsense. I like to set the bar low so I don't dissapoint.

I think this has the potential to become a huge circle jerk. About as gay as people spending all day waxing it while they wait to lay their smack down on the Jim Rome show.

I'll completely agree with you, considering the huge ratings Jim Rome pulls in every day.

Also, isn't that how the old WTFDetroit rolled? Hell, UncleCliffy v.Gutz v. Steve v. DennyMclain was some of the most entertaining shit around.

Bring on the battles then, Denny?

Fool deserves the #1 for this week.

For calling Kelsey?

Boy. I've gottalotta reading to do.

Three consecutive deadline assignments will do that to you.

Denny, is it true that you are the new number 1?

WHO IS NUMBER 6?

I AM NOT A NUMBER, I AM A FREE MAN!

"I'm not gonna spend my life being a color."

I think we all know who's been working to earn number "7"
