Arrow Voting Closed 9/1. Embarrassing Injury (Winner PON)


The time has come to vote on your favorite embarrassing injury! All those who posted their stories will be eligible to receive the prize. Those who have entered will be options on a poll and the person with the highest number of votes on Sept. 1 will be declared winner.

People may still enter by posting in the original thread (here). Just know that other people will have had more time to gather votes

In the event of a tie: Voting will be extended by three (3) days with a special head to head of just those with the highest number of votes.


Will it be...

gold.n.god on the quad?
theDark with his ingenious skateboarding maneuvers?
ndisi08 (myself) and the moonwalk mayhem?
PON and his boxer incident with 3 girls
DAC's flippin' the razor
wcnghj trying to be Salad Fingers
PGP_Protector taking an axe to his leg
sample45's head meeting the coffee table
PityOnYou ripping apart his leg... during a timeout
lacrosse_man16's man thong...
winkieflash's life altering soccer injury
Robb4248's modular mishap
or Loveandhatejw wrecking whilst eyeballing the ladies

It's up to you! You don't have to be modest and can vote for yourself but it's not encouraged as that's kinda low.

Important Note: Unfortunately, ZB capped the maximum number of options in a poll at 10 so the voting system here is (temporarily?) unfit for these contest. Therefore, I used a 3rd party system. It's unfortunate for us all, but I'm just trying to make do what what I've got.

Please reply to entires in this thread now. Feel free to post why you voted for someone and to root them on but don't use this as an opportunity to steal votes

Vote Here: http://www.polldaddy.com/p.asp?p=93614

Good Luck one and all!

I was afraid of that. While it could be legit, using 3rd party systems always runs the risk of people finding ways to cheat. Also, polldaddy is taking forever to load right now and is probably broked

Yeah I think you should get a new poll host, every time I restart Firefox I can vote again I haven't voted twice and I did not vote for myself so somebody out there is showing me some love.

I voted for you *shush*

But really, what else is there? I'm blocking by two different methods and there's no way to track usernames.

Anyway, keep the voting up. What is there? 5 days left? Still plenty of time for someone else to pull ahead.

A friendly reminder that you now have 2 days left to cast your vote. Best get a move on if you haven't already done so.

ndisi, in the future maybe you should just make a couple polls if there are too many options and the winner of each poll goes onto the final round or something

Was thinking about that, but it seemed like clutter at the time. It might be necessary though. We'll have to see how many entries there are in future contests and play it by ear.

When you say vote by ear... that means post who you vote for?

When I said play it by ear, I meant what we'll see what happens and then work with what we got. That's probably not the most common phrase. However, if it comes to it, posting votes doesn't sound like a bad route to go.

just don't throw the baby out with the bath water and lose voter privacy, which can distort polls just as much
