LITERALLY A BIRD
Sep 27, 2008

I knew you were trouble
when you flew in

 :shibe: Welcome to the Something Awful Top Dog Tournament! :cheerdoge:

The Something Awful Top Dog Tournament is a competition to determine the top dog across this whole forum. Think you know a pooch who's up for the task? Nominate a dog, win the subforum round, and take on the top dogs from subforums across SA!

How does it work? :eng101:

The three stages of the Top Dog Tournament are:
1) Subforum Nomination - Each participating subforum has a nomination thread for posters to nominate potential Top Dogs
2) Subforum Voting - Each subforum votes to determine the champion that will represent them in the forumwide vote
3) Forumwide Voting - The champions from every subforum go head to head to determine the Top Dog of the Tournament

This thread is Stage 1: Subforum Nomination

To nominate a dog for the tournament, please post ONCE AND ONLY ONCE in this thread in the following format:
  • Dog name
  • One sentence about why this dog is a good dog
  • Picture of dog

An example of a properly formatted nomination post is as follows:

quote:

Otis

Otis is a good dog because he once ate an entire loaf of pumpkin bread and pooped bright orange for two days.


Nominations will be open until at least Wednesday, March 1. Polls for subforum voting will open shortly after.

Questions and Answers
  • Do I have to post my own dog?
    No! Post any dog you like.

  • Can I nominate more than one dog?
    No! Please nominate only one dog and choose one subforum to nominate in.

  • Does the dog I nominate have to be a real dog?
    Nope! Paintings, cartoons, doodles, ASCII art, it's all fine. The only condition is that the dog must be Good.

  • Can I vote in subforums I don't actively participate in?
    Definitely! Please visit all the participating subforums so you don't miss any dogs.

  • Where can I talk about the dogs that I like and dislike?
    The voting threads are a great place to talk about the dogs you like! Please only post nominations in the nomination thread.

    It is illegal to dislike any dogs

  • Won't the big subforums crowd out the little ones during the final vote?
    Who knows and who cares!

  • Who should I talk to if I have questions?
    The mod of each subforum is a good place to start. You can also ask tournament organizer pig slut lisa any questions or post in QCS.

  • Who's a good boy?
    All of them :3:

And a special PI bonus round question:
  • Does it have to actually be a dog?
    Definitely not.

Smoosh
 Name: Wandy
Reason: Wandy was a good bird and a shining example of what all birds, potato or otherwise, should aspire to be.

And he was talking 'fore I knew it, and as he grew he'd say "I'm gonna be like you, dad" "You know I'm gonna be like you".
Oliver
My adopted buddy. He was pretty fat when I got him, but unlike most goons he is constantly working to better himself through diet and exercise.

ATTORNEY AT LAW
Justice is bald, like an eagle, or Lady Liberty's docket.

 Cody

He is terrified of everything, except people, in whom he invests unconditional trust and love, and his water bowl, which is the best thing ever apparently.

How to cock it up, Fig. I

 I'd like to nominate someone else's bird.
Tendai's Judah, an excellent cockatiel, an ur-potato







https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y__YxTVlmcM

His antics were always the best and most potato, and he launched the "Not Judah" award, currently held by Steve. I still miss him, even though I am an internet stranger with my own birds.

Terra is a GoldenAussie (possibly) we adopted 2 months ago from a shelter.
She is a very good dog because:
1. She overcame separation anxiety (with the help of Prozac and behavioral training)
2. She loves all people, kids, dogs, cats, etc. We are in the beginning stages to train her to become a therapy dog. She loves it!
3. She is the softest, calmest thing to pet. If this was a softness competition, she would win hands down.
