Who should be CP's 2013 King of the N00bs? Time to vote.

The Academy will close this poll and declare a "The King of the n00bs" winner at 2:00 pm on Saturday central time.

The Academy is proud to sponsor this years edition of the crowning of the 2013 King of the N00bs!

This is a public poll. Everyone is eligible to vote.
  • All public bribes are allowed and encouraged. you may pool funds and bribes to entice voters. There is no bribery limit. Nothing is out of bounds to be used as a bribe as long as it doesn't violate the Chiefs Planet TOS.
  • I will keep track of the bribes for each candidate in the OP.
  • Please post all NSFW or possible NSFW pics as links or with spoiler tags.
  • Any candidate or their supporters promising a bribe and not delivering the as promised will be disqualified for the crown.
  • if anyone tries to create new accounts and or mults to rig the vote, that candidate will be disqualified and the posters subject to possible banning of their "real" account. Just don't go there. It's to easy for the admins to catch you.
  • You may trash a fellow candidate but please keep it to the level of "breaking balls" among friends. Don't get nasty. This is all for fun and hijinks.

The Academy doesn't try to define what is a "great" or worthy N00b. It's your choice.

But he must win or no deal.

Hell, I figure all is fair game in politics. There's really no morality or honor expected there.

I'd like to think we're more civil here.

That probably just means that one conspiracy nutter from DC voted for him in addition to him voting for himself.

People will nominate posters just to see them get hammered in the poll. It's not a compliment.
