When you make your vote for the next notable tomorrow, remember this topic, for I feel this needs to be said.

First of all, how old is your candidate?
Look at the current notables. They have knowledge of their forums like it was the back of their hand. Their average days here are around 900 odd days. The youngest is 680 while the eldest is 1179 days old. Does your candidate fit this criteria?

Next up is the Gad wins. Gads may not seem that important but it’s free games or movies and it shows how good they are at winning posts. The lowest amount of wins is 4 which is good but extremely overshadowed by the 37 wins of Meka Dragon. Does your candidate have a healthy Gad figure?

Next up is the post count. You look at these notables and they are up there in the top posters of all-time, obviously because they have been here for years. However, they haven’t spammed their way up there, which can be seen by looking at the word count.
Does your candidate have a good posts to word ratio?

This may not seem important but it damn is when choosing a new notable. I’ve seen suggestions by new regulars but most of those don’t fit the criteria of a notable. Here are examples of posters that do and are potential candidates.

Solskjær fits the bill with 23 Gad wins. Maybe lacking in the age department but should be a favorite in my eyes.

Asher D is known for his humourous approach to the forums and has a massive 18 gad wins. More well known and has the age maturity.

Dringo missed out one time. Now he should have his time in the light again. 25 gads and 888 days easily makes him a good candidate.

MoJoJoJo is another candidate that has his fair share of gads with 15 and has been here long enough to know the forums well.

Those that just missed out:

I would like to see microchips win but unfortunately doesn’t fit the age criteria.

Rosalind has her followers but again lacks the age criteria

Phillip fits the criteria but unfortunately hardly anyone seems to know the potential he has.

You will probably just forget this post tomorrow but at least think about it. The notable gimmick is becoming ruined and choosing any of the above can only make it better.

Thank you

How old does she have to be?

"Almost". And as someone else said, we don't know the real age criteria as we don't know when they were elected.

And Mandatare, your two-bit opinion isn't "everybody"'s.

And El blokey, from everyone's point of view, you haven't done anything worthwhile lately.

I've taken note of what you said but of the four main candidates MoJoJoJo is the only one I really recognise as having passed comments with.

I do recognise Phillip as he did reply in one of my first topics but obviously from my tagline I'm a 'follower'.

I don't believe that GAD wins are important and believe you have taken the age criteria from the figures as they stand. To substantiate the claim of age it would have been more interesting to know what age the notables were when they were originally voted in.

I fit almost perfectly, with more GADs than all the people you listed (assuming you want to go that way).

But deciding on statistics is stupid and so is this topic.

Microchips deserves to win it, he gave me my first online arguement on these forums, it was short but sweet.

Disagree with the Gameaday side of it...but yeah...generally, you're righ Mandy.

I would love to see Solksjaer win, his posts in Sports always rock. But saying that, I want Ros or Chipseh to win.

When I vote tomorrow, I hope to fulfil my potential.

Saying that, I haven't thought about who I should vote for...

I'll just do what I did last year and vote if it looks likely that someone I don't want to win may win.

Not voting for someone, it's voting against someone!
