Serious poll? I don't see this being a serious poll. Since the beginning, this thread wasn't meant to be taken seriously but some did take it seriously. Shown by the making of the thread itself, the rules are too weak, no effort on anticipating people who often disagree and criticize anything that doesn't concur with their ideas. Something like "the voters must have some type of experience and player knowledge so the vote is not skewed" nobody would pay attention as we are kids who wants their friends on a list of a popularity contest so fucking bad. Not to mention, who the hell even read rules just to vote for a fruit catching game?
To avoid this we need people who actually want to give effort of making a fair poll for all players not just the popular ones. Therefore, we need to make a list of candidates/nominations that have made the biggest achivements in 2016, so players who aren't making that much achievement this year/was inactive won't be getting any vote. But to actually make that kind of polling system, we need people who knows who deserves and who doesn't. Actually, i think people who disagree with this thread shows they "probably" know more about players more than the one working on this thread. People like amlink as example. But i don't see him disagreeing being reasonable. He's just giving outrageous hate&disagreement without letting people know what his expectations are.
"This forums only purpose is to exist" is pretty accurate though
