I am just going to start with the fact that I am a very weird guy. In a way I have wanted to win User of the Year for a very long time but now that I have won it I dont quite know why. I guess I just like winning things. I cant say that I am like Yoblazer where the victory itself means a lot to me, it is more in the details where I derive my satisfaction. I sat down at my computer yesterday and the first thing I noticed was Alec saying my victory was well deserved and long overdue. That meant a lot to me. I dont think a lot of people really get why anyone would follow User of the Year or why anyone would want to win it. It has nothing to do with User of the Year, it just is a good chance for amazing people like Alec to give me praise I dont think I deserve sometimes. User of the Year is nothing but a collection of people telling other people how they feel about them through their votes. For example, Zea and Maria like to mock everyone for their enjoyment. If that doesnt shine through in User of the Year I dont think you were paying attention very well.
Not to steal The Rocks gimmick but it is about the people. The people behind the votes. On this little message board of ours I have always been lucky to have great friends. People like Red who Ive known from way before I ever knew what a GameFAQs even was. I remember back in 2003 I made TheCalmness and DP my advisors for god knows what. I wonder if DP even remembers that. I remember bonding with Wigs over my AP History questions I did for bonuses in the Survivor contest I took over for MWIS. Alec I first knew on from the baseball board and when I saw him posting here it blew my mind that a person could be on two message boards at once for some weird reason. It shows Alecs great patience that he can count me as a friend even after all of the one sided conversations we have had in regards to board 8 baseball. I am passionate, and that is probably the only kind word I can say for my behavior about that project at times. Since I have been coming to board 8 regularly for nine years now I could make this a very long post highlighting a lot of people, but I dont find much of a need to do all that, I just wanted to make sure I included my fellow finalists in here and thank both of them for the tremendous amounts of content and sheer fun they have brought to the board. It is them, along with so many others, that made me decide to stay year after year on this board like I have nowhere else. 9 years later very little about me is the same. I like completely different things, I have moved several times, and I am very glad to say I am not the same person who clicked on board 8 for the first time. I love this place. I dont regret a second Ive spent here. I think everything in life is what you make of it. I feel Ive learned a lot because of board 8 about the world and about people. I have had fun, I have found my motivation to pursue my dreams, and I have learned so much about being a better person. For many the idea of those last two would seem laughable about a message board to which I would say it seems I am just awesome at taking opportunities in unexpected places! So all of that sappy and boring stuff said I have won User of the Year which means to keep all of the dozens of people I rallied quiet I must appease them. Appeasing rallied people isnt easy, just ask XIII! It takes a lot of different promises being kept and what I like to call dynamic bribing. You see XIIIs rookie mistake was that he begged and pleaded with people, which just isnt smart. No, what you must do to be successful is offer them cool stuff and then fulfill these bribes to the fullest extent! Only then will people keep their silence. So, in a completely unrelated segment, here is what I am going to do because I won User of the Year: ... Copied to Clipboard!

1. I am going to host User of the Year next year, assuming that I am still here and am not a shell of myself or something along those lines. Lefty will be kept on as his tallying is very useful, but that will be his only involvement in User of the Year. This is not an indictment on Lefty but I dont think anyone wants him to run it and so it shall be. Sess and Ulti are of course welcome to pitch me ideas about changes and ways to improve it in general, as I know them to both be very creative people.
2. From today until December 31st there are going to be 100 Doom updates. You saw that number correctly. To make sure that this is accomplished I have been playing through a game of Yellow in order to establish events that need to take place. Dont worry though, there is still going to be a lot of random blood and Doom speeches 3. When I fix my computer I will be completing my Top Ten Gaming Memories list. This actually would have been accomplished a while ago but I am not very good at fixing my computer. 4. Before the year is out I am going to have a polished completed book. I am going to share this book with Board 8 for free rather than charge all of you money for reading high quality stuff. You are welcome. 5. I am going to do a My Little Ponies Watchthrough topic because a lot of people who voted for me like the show. If I dont like it I will do several Doom spinoffs where he maims and brutally murders the cast of said show. Either way, someone is going to be happy with me! 6. You guys like Pokemon, right? Me too! I will do a ranking topic of every single Pokemon, all 649 of the little (and big!) guys. Oh, and guess what? Theres going to be a guessing prize~ 7. I am going to be hosting a Doctor Doom Travels Through Kanto themed Mafia game with the most epic flavor a mafia game has ever had. Thats a promise. -- Sir Chris The Cult of Personality. ...

you can do whatever you want really, I'm probably going to ignore uoty next year anyway. I try never to work the same angle on something twice and I've already done 'ruin the sanctity of the contest by advancing as far as possible against the wishes of the people' and 'relentlessly mock the contest and try to stir up as much drama as possible' so there aren't really many other options to work with.

Thank you for the praise everyone, it is appreciated.
Update: 1. I am already making plans on how to mutilate - I mean improve - User of the Year. Cutting the number of users, making rounds more of a bloodbath. Oh it is going to be glorious. 2. 3/100 Doom updates done! It is almost as if I am done already! 3. Fix my computer turned into "buy a new one and stick my hard drive into it." Eh, close enough. 4. See above! 5. 5 episodes into the first season, this will be a snap. 6. I am seeing Pokemon in my sleep, but that has little to do with this goal. 7. Going to start with the brainstorming next week. -- Sir Chris The Cult of Personality. ... Copied to Clipboard!
