   I voted for Mr Mayat. Anyone who works in the Army knows exactly what he means haha.

2. 2 Alafista 45 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 7:57 pm

   i liked tsubaki’s work … 1vote for him ..

3. 3 Crest 99 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 9:26 pm

   JP Meyer’s entry is morbidly fascinating.. is it really semen? Or something else?

   Yuri for the win.

4. 4 meganeshounen 19 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 10:28 pm

   Zyl’s looks pretty inspired. And Alafista’s poster wins points from me for having Louise. All of them are pretty nice too.

5. 5 hotchanbot 13 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 10:36 pm

   Jp meyer. that is pure ingenuity! might not been semen, migh have been shampoo or soap?? ROFL

6. 6 MrMayat 50 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 11:02 pm

   Yay! I got tj_han’s vote. I’m glad to be done with NS. Any more of those confounded 7 core values and I would have snapped. BTW, does your vote have to do with a certain “favour”? Heh.

7. 7 ethreal 22 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 11:17 pm

   Why is there no yaoi?

   I’ll got for Holiday’s.

8. 8 tj_han 1442 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 11:30 pm

   Mr Mayat, lol. Actually no, I voted yours because my job has me spamming the words “transformation, integration” and other high and mighty sounding buzzwords.

9. 9 mt-i 8 comments Oct 8th, 2006 at 11:35 pm

   Especially liked jpmeyer’s entry for the, erm, shock factor, and NeoHybrid_Kai’s for the visual impact (top-notch source material indeed), but ultimately settled for Zyl’s. It’s technically excellent, and the punchline is great.

10. 10 nae 1 comment Oct 8th, 2006 at 11:41 pm

    Whee! Go, DarkMirage!

11. 11 Burrowowl 4 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 12:16 am

    This was a tough call, as a lot of these are quite good. I had to go with MT-i’s “Gentlemanliness” because the text matched the picture so very well.

12. 12 Seth 78 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 12:29 am

    It might have been better to preselect some finalists. Vote may be a bit spread out this way.

    I vote for Ashley, and her entertaingly venomous poster.

13. 13 tj_han 1442 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 12:31 am

    Seth: I thought of that but somehow didn’t feel qualified to cut anyone’s out. Well, I’ll see how it goes. May do a round 2 on Wednesday or something if the competition isn’t working. But for now, it seems to be going ok.

14. 14 TedFox 85 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 12:42 am

    I vote for the friends one by NeoHybrid_Kai. Lovely picture of Air chosen

15. 15 Kurogane 125 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 12:50 am

    Ah, damn, guess it’s too late for me to join in.

    I’m voting for DarkMirage’s one, the pic sold me in.

16. 16 ubu 21 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 1:02 am

    Darkmirage, all the way. That would be pretty damn demotivational to hear!

17. 17 Sasa 82 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 1:30 am

    I want Mr Mayat’s motivator picture in high resolution!!11oneoneone Seriously, that looks so hawt

    Actually I didn’t vote yet. My favourites so far are Alafista’s, Ashley’s (hey, that one deserves more appreciation!), Holiday’s, Mr Mayat’s and Tsubaki’s.

    I wonder which criteria are dominating for you guys - as for me, it’s nearly 100% the message.

18. 18 mumu-monkey 1 comment Oct 9th, 2006 at 1:37 am

    Lolikitsunes, it make my friend Amy spit pudding down her shirt. haha it was awsome

19. 19 whazzup 12 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 1:38 am

    shamus’s for me.

    The linking of the punchline and otaku is really a unexpected combi, and yet, it looks as if they’re meant for each other all along, had me chuckling to myself…. the rest are interesting….but doesnt really provoke tat double-take…..my 2 cents…..

20. 20 tj_han 1442 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 1:55 am

    Anyone notice a trend? The people who are promoting their own entries on their blogs are leading the polls.

    CHEATING BASTARDS. They are getting their grandmothers, husbands and sons to call in! Just like in the stupid Idol competitions!

21. 21 calaggie 5 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 3:22 am

    Dammit, I forgot to enter! Oh well…my entry would have sucked anyway.

    I voted for NeoHybrid_Kai’s Friends because it had the strongest message to me, i.e. made me a little depressed. Shamus’ Otaku, J Greely’s Dignity and Grey Duck’s Enthusiasm were my runners-up.

22. 22 ubu 21 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 3:52 am

    Yeah tj, I noticed the same trend. Enh. Doesn’t bother me, because I just “mailed in” on this competition rather than create a serious effort. But it is a bit of a rip to those who are collecting “honest” votes. I have to say though, I might have voted for MT-i’s if I could have read the words on the screen. That one needs a link to a full size pic.

    Actually, after staring at Ayumi for several minutes, I wonder why the words “full-size” popped into my head. Wait, no I don’t.

23. 23 Skane 57 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 4:16 am

    Since this is not a real election, I will refrain from voting for myself and vote for Holiday’s one, because that was the one that triggered my senses.

    Cheers.

24. 24 noodlesa 2 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 4:54 am

    is it too late to submit mine? i’m sure you’ll find this intriguing.

25. 25 Shamus 3 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 5:01 am

    I got a vote! Glad I was able to make somebody smile.

    I gotta go with Fledgling’s Circle of Sin.

    Dignity and Gadgets made me happy as well.

26. 26 jpmeyer 101 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 5:44 am

    I can’t believe that you put an NSFW warning on my picture!

    >>CHEATING BASTARDS. They are getting their grandmothers, husbands and sons to call in! Just like in the stupid Idol competitions!

    Hahaha! I might have gotten like, one vote from my post. Mainly I directed people towards the poll over IM and stuff. And a good number of the people I got to vote didn’t vote for me

28. 28 Tsubaki 519 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 7:17 am

    We didn’t cheat. Even if we asked our readers to come here, we can’t force them to vote for us.
    They’re are pretty much open to vote for anyone else out there.

    It’s unlike the idol competition where i just give you a number, and you just keep calling that number, whether you like him/her or not.

    Lol.

29. 29 tj_han 1442 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 11:36 am

    Btw I mean the cheating thing in jest.

    Looks like as of now, it’s a tie between Alafista and Lolikit, with Ashley and Tsubaki coming in close and making use of their slipstream.

    And sorry Noodlesa, entries are closed. I did say the deadline was 12 midnight on Sunday (My time of course).

30. 30 lolikitsune 21 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 12:06 pm

    I bet Seth will feel like a right idiot when I win the contest. XD

    no no …. we are helping to “direct traffic” to ur site … LOL

33. 33 Sasa 82 comments Oct 9th, 2006 at 11:51 pm

    @MrMayat: Yay, thanks!

    Well, Ashley and Darkmirage didn’t advertise for theirs, right? And Holiday and Shamus are getting a lot of votes too. But I do see the tendency that bloggers tend to get more votes… I guess you should not have let the creators be displayed so prominently *haha*

34. 34 noodlesa 2 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 12:47 am

    its alright, you can enter me next time round. Whenever that may be… *rolls eyes*

35. 35 ubu 21 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 5:58 am

    How long is voting going to stay open?

36. 36 Akira 10 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 7:53 am

    I liked the Friends one. It’s simple and realistic. The others are stupid sarcasm.

37. 37 Deathy 17 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 8:00 am

    I was almost going to vote for the Saber one, but them I saw the one about friends, and that’s just plain true.

38. 38 lolikitsune 21 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 12:35 pm

    I’m ashamed. I discovered today that a friend was trying (and failing) to stuff the ballot for me using a school computer lab. He only managed to get one vote in thanks to whatever anti-ballot-stuffing measures the polling system provides. Still, it’s shameful. Remove me from the poll, please.

39. 39 ubu 21 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 1:01 pm

    It’s ok, not like you’re winning. hehehe!

    Seriously, I don’t think anyone’s upset — hey it’s getting people to come look at tj’s blog and maybe some of ours too.

40. 40 Eleutheria 15 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 8:01 pm

    This needs a tiered voting system where we can select up to three choices; 3 points for first choice, 2 points for second and so on.

41. 41 tj_han 1442 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 8:35 pm

    Lolikit: I don’t care. But you’re in! It’s not like I don’t click on my own google ads with various computers.

    Ele: Actually, you are so right. But there’s no such thing in plugin form. Well, Wednesday is round two.

42. 42 lolikitsune 21 comments Oct 10th, 2006 at 10:33 pm

    >>Seriously, I don’t think anyone’s upset — hey it’s getting people to come look at tj’s blog and maybe some of ours too.

    Call it useless pride. I feel like shit, even if my other 18 votes come from respectable sources.

43. 43 Tsubaki 519 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 4:09 am

    >>Well, Wednesday is round two.

    So you’ll cut half out of the round? or what?

44. 44 Eleutheria 15 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 9:31 am

    I forwarded this link to some of my anime-watching friends (read:otaku doushi). A pity I did not see JPMeyer’s entry before sending it to the womenfolk >.

45. 45 omo 137 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 12:01 pm

    SADER, easily. I’ve been kind of catching up on Zero no Tsukaima. And while I apperciate the simple humor I can’t see why it’s so funny. OTOH I highly commend the concept behind the FAILURE image.

46. 46 Someone 1 comment Oct 11th, 2006 at 3:05 pm

    Lots of facts in those posters, but aren’t they supposed to be DE-motivation posters? Quite a few are off-topic…..

47. 47 DarkMirage 44 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 6:55 pm

    I am not self-delusional. People are only voting for my entry because Chikane is hawt.

48. 48 shiachan 57 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 7:02 pm

    anyway this is a (de)motivational , to me it means either motivates or demotivates you

49. 49 introspect 1 comment Oct 11th, 2006 at 9:25 pm

    Dark’s combination of Chikane and punch line exceeds the hilarity of a groin kick. And groin kicks are pretty damn funny as long as you’re not on the receiving end of one.

50. 50 waista 10 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 9:46 pm

    No late entires so I can’t be bothered making this into an image:

    [ Haruka in her hospital bed ]
    ——– H O P E ——–
    When all hope seems lost,
    your dearest love and your bestest friend
    will still cheer you on!

    … for about a week.
    Then they’ll go fuck
    cos your causing them so much pain.

51. 51 RDrake 69 comments Oct 11th, 2006 at 11:19 pm

    It was either Tsubaki or Alafista…
    Oh well…Tsubaki’s one kinda connected more…

52. 52 LazyShinigami 49 comments Oct 12th, 2006 at 7:50 am

    1 vote for Alafista

    and for god-sake i can’t see this frankenstein-saber anymore. It give me the creeps !

53. 53 GreyDuck 2 comments Oct 15th, 2006 at 12:45 am

    Er. You appear to have used the auto-scaled version that Gallery seems perversely intent upon producing, instead of the full-sized version that I was actually hoping you’d use. That, or you scaled it down using software unsuited to the task. Honestly, “Enthusiasm” shouldn’t be that jaggy-looking.

    But, no worries I suppose. There are several truly inspired entries here. Harem got my vote, but I also got a big kick out of CPR, Honesty and Eject. (Mind you, in CPR’s case, a screenie from the actual episode of Otome rather than the previous week’s preview clip would’ve worked better… less screen clutter, more “hawt yuri love” as it were!)

54. 54 V2 74 comments Oct 15th, 2006 at 8:17 am

    holiday gets my vote.

55. 55 JKL 19 comments Oct 15th, 2006 at 9:56 am

Do not use any < and > for your own sake. It will end the comment there and then. Also, there is an automatic IQ filter which weeds out comments made by those who accidentally got transported from the stone age.
