The vote is final. The people have spoken.

This is the best cat:



Congratulations to the former fatlord. You are an inspiration to us all.


Lowtax posted:

I support the photos as well as the incoming piles of financial ill-gotten gains. Thanks cats. Thanks credit cards. Credcat cards.


We all know that every catte is the best catte. But there must be the one single cat that is the best of the best, the pinnacle, the apex, the Spartacus among Spartacus', the absolute gold standard of all catdom. We are here to determine which SA cat best represents that ideal.

...1 catte to rule them all and in the darkness bind them.




Welcome to the 2nd ever SA forums cat show. It will be by necessity a Rules Heavy thread. Please read and comprehend all the rules.

It is also a fundraiser to buy our dear leader Lowtax a backbone or a working exoskeleton or something. I'm too broke to contribute to the spine fund, but I'll make up for it with an effort thread to squeeze money out of you fuckers.

[insert commercial break here]



To find the Very Best Cat on all of SA, the VBC must first be nominated, and then voted into that high office. Voting is a sacred rite, like shooting a car or driving a gun, so let us all be serious about it. It is both a duty and a priveledge and an obligation. That said, this should be fun (for some given value of fun).



Posting Rules:
1. Only nominations may be posted at the start of this thread, and only one post per nomination(s). If you are not nominating a cat, DO NOT POST! That was a dumb rule. Additional pics/videos/photoshops will be encouraged during the campaign phase.

2. DO NOT post ineligible cats. Only officially nominated cat pics allowed.

3. Posting is open to all during the campaign phase. During the campaign, do discuss the merits of the candidates, photoshop what ya like, but keep it semi civil. Try not to poo poo up the place with dumb stuff like OMG YOU HAVE MY CAT YOUR CAT LOOKS LIKE MY CAT.

4. Keep pic quotes to a minimum and remember to timg.




Nomination rules:
Nominations are closed. Too slow, sucka

1. To nominate a cat for VBC, donate :10bux: to the forums via the Donations! link at the top right of the page. (rule edit: or buy a cert or av change or archives or something.) If you cannot find the link, you are dumber than a bag of hammers.

2. You may nominate multiple cats in one post.$10 for one cat, $15 for two cats, $20 for three, $25 for four, etc.

3. Post a screencap of your receipt with the amount and your user name clearly visible and then post one pic of your nominated cat(s) and name(s) of the cat(s).
3.(a) Placeholders are ok, but :toxx: if you fail to follow through.

3. Please number your entry for easier voting later. (three cats would get numbers 5-6-7) Edit your numbers to keep it linear in cases of simultaneous posts.

Rule #420: Dog cannot be VBC unless it is Farlow or Dogface.

Rule #420(b): Burgerpug is right the gently caress out of the question so don't even think about it.

Rule #420(c): This is a better cat than most dogs:


4. Nominations are closed




Campaign rules for the Nominees:

0. Campaigning begins only after nominations are closed now.

1. Post the good stuff you have of your cat. Videos, pics, stories, whatever you think makes your cat the VBC. Tag your pics with your entry #.

2. Try not to image dump, spread it out over several posts. Pick the very best you have and save some space for everyone. Links to albums or instragrams or whatever are fine.

3. This is politics at its finest. Get out the vote, kiss some hands and shake some babies.

4. Campaigning continues to the bitter end, even during voting.

5. Voting begins Friday May 4th.




Voting rules:

1. Voting will probably happen in a separate thread which will be for VOTING ONLY.

2. Seriously. No pics, just voting. If this works out half as good as I would like, it will be a nightmare to tabulate the votes with my dollar store calculator.

2.(a) Poll watching and independent vote tabulating would be way cool with me.

3. Voting will be done by the entry number, so pay attention and don't be dyslexic.

4. In each round of voting, each poster gets to vote for X number of cats. The field will be narrowed with each round of voting until 13 nominees remain.

5. The final round to determine the Very Best Cat will be one goon/one vote/one cat.



Prizes:

The Very Best Cat on the SA forums gets the last phat oz of my 2017 personal stash of Montana Catnip :catdrugs:

I don't have anything else, but maybe some artistic type here can make some e-trophies and ms paint participation ribbons for the losers.

e: if there's a decent weather day this weekend or next, I can maybe get some fine ground done for extra prizes.

I'll accept that. Also, it appears that donation receipts display real names and not user names. I'll be a trusting soul and accept nominations on a word of honor that yeah I really did donate basis as long as I see the grimey drawer or whatever popsicle stick. This thread is about to turn into a bigger clusterfuck than I ever imagined it could be.

He looks a lot like my favorite cat, Midas, so I'm instantly enamored with him. Except he has bigger ears. Midas is the most affectionate and well behaved cat I've personally encountered, and I will be devastated when he passes. Luckily he's only about 3 years old right now. I hope he lives to be a healthy 20 year old cat

Well over feeding any pet is not very nice to the pet. A lot of health issues when you or your pet are obese. :(

Yeah a couple weeks sounds okay to me, maybe more if the thread doesn't implode from shitposts first. The whole point of this is to throw money at Lowtax's skeleton and get good cat pictures. If it takes time, then it takes time.
