can confirm

he should try returning in five years
---

I haven't been on recently and I'm just plainly surprised I even got past the first round
---

Haha Chris actually got last place. I noticed all the -2s and -3s but it's still weird to see.

Did Chris officially say he's leaving? Guess I missed that if so.
---

My understanding is that he is not leaving but gone.
---

I never thought I'd see the day Sir Chris finished in last in round one of UotY
---

He really treated gravy awfully in Mercs.

I don't even like gravy and I was appalled when I found out.
---

Again its still strange tp see the day the board chooses gravy over chris in major drama no matter how right gravy is
---

I see there is a second discussion topic. Bane already made this discussion topic:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/75052226

I wonder which topic we're going to use for discussing UotY? I think we should use Bane's topic since it was posted before this one.

I mean let's be real the guy has always been a total disaster of a user who was only really liked because people felt like they were "supposed to" like him.
---

For Chris its not as much he left but the way he did it.
---

I don't remember how he left, but I don't recall it being particularly dramatic...
---

Everything he did was dramatic
---

I don't remember Chris being on bad terms with Board 8 at the time he decided to close his account and leave the board.

If you were only aware of his goodbye topic perhaps.

If you were aware of the underlying reasons - and sincr it was chris a lot of people were, the guy didnt come off very good.
---

Is this the real discussion topic?
---

no
---

I've been racking my brain for the past ten minutes for reasons to like Chris and the only one I can come up with is that he stopped posting.

I see you have made this post commenting on the existence of multiple discussion topics. No one else had yet commented on this:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/75056150/874238586

I do not wonder very much which topic we will be using for discussing UotY. I think it will be this one as Steiner is the (co)Host.

This is emphatically untrue.

Chris has always been a loyal friend of mine and I will consider him a good friend even though we aren't as in touch as we used to be. He had his quirks and could be outspoken sometimes, but he was passionate about things and that was obvious. And to his core he was a decent person who cared about his fellow man.

Any drama regarding his leaving the board doesnt begin to take away from his character.

And I will cheerfully disagree with anyone who says otherwise.

Chris is a great guy and leaving B8 was the best thing for his mental health. He's doing great.

---

I imagine theres maybe 3 people that know why Chris actually left. Lefty, myself, and Eddv. Its also like a drama in 4 distinct acts that drones on forever.

So why he left is probably best not to delve into. Nor does anyone care.

I can appreciate that. I left for a few years I thin kprobably, not really sure how long. DEfinitely was needed and when I came back, which was random and not even really on a whim, but coincidental, I was ready to leave again because f*** it... but then I got more interested in various stuff and now I think I'm goin to stick around for a bit and at the very least see what happens but every day I'm feeling more and more like staying
---

He is doing great, last I heard anyways. He has changed a lot in the last few years and generally for the better as he seems to be a more social and outgoing person.
---

Chris was bipolar I think. And he had one amazingly cool side. And one evil, vile as f*** side.

Chris mostly got a lot of -s because people are playing the game™ and don't want to minus people who might actually vote in the contest

Guess I'd better stop posting then.

ok!

I had not realized that this topic had come up too, so here are the current predictions from the other topic:

Ctes Predicts While Watching Naruto Movies - Round 1 Edition

The fun never stops in Naruto or User of the Year! Three more divisions coming right up as we move through the second movie.

Ghost Pumpkin's Swirl Division
swirldude
Tom Bombadil
Team Rocket Elite
yoblazer33 (CaptainOfCrush)
Jeff Zero
Zyxyz0
CycloReaper (SimplyUnfair)
----
ShatteredElysium
LinkMarioSamus
theawesomestevr

To Luster and whoever else, yoblazer should have his current account listed. I even went ahead and added the 3's! Anyway whether he has that name or not could make a difference, but he will still move on.
I don't see swirl not winning this and I'll pick Tom in second too. Then there are three users that I'm uncertain of how will do. Jeff Zero, very popular, but inactivity can easily kill you in UotY. Playing the game and all that, you downvote the people that can't downvote you back. Jeff Zero isn't completely gone of course, but it's like the majority of the Konoha 11 once these characters are all grown up, not too relevant anymore. Yoblazer, still around and well liked, but it will probably hurt him not to have CaptainOfCrush there, I mean, it has been a very long time since yoblazer was his account. Then there's Cyclo, who I believe people have quite mixed opitnions of. Then we also need to fit Zyxyz and TRE into that.
That means we have our predicted eliminated people. theawesomestevr, who I have no idea who is. LinkMarioSamus... not exactly the mostpopular guy, though I don't mind him personally. Finally, ShatteredElysium who I don't think can make it though in this division. Backto the users moving on, I think I'll go with TRE in third, yoblazer in fourth, Jeff in fifth, Zyxyz in sixth and Cyclo in seventh. Could be anyway though.

Thought that was it? Nah, just went way above the character limit with these three for a change.

something to do with Hearthstone Division
Forceful Dragon
Terastodon
KingBartz
Robazoid
tabiicat42
swordz9
tennisboy213
---
The Utility Man
Procrastinater
thundersheep

I'll pick FD in first here, but Terastondon probably improved majorly from last year that's to the ever so good discord vote, so he at least gets second. This division has no easy eliminations actually. We could easily see great ol' users like TUM, Crasty and thundersheep get eliminated here. Doesn't mean it's necessairly those three, but could be, which is pretty crazy. In third place, I'm considering tabii duw to what is probably a strong discord vote, which is more than enough to safely move on, but I'm not sure about general board opinion. All the drama in the last topic probably doesn't help. Tabii is a good user, but initially flat out stating Luster is a creep to explain -3s, when in the past Luster has had many more reasons make one think so
than wanting to hear voices of users, doesn't give a good impression. I don't personally even think this is something only Luster would do, but the opinion is fair. Problem comes with several semi-offensive posts woards Luster, not at all only by tabii. That doesn't help tabii here probably, but I'l still guess her for third. STrong discord vote, even though Tera probably wins it, plus, The Jug Factor never hurt anyone.

Yes, here at Ctes Precits While Watching Naruto, we now comment on drama. Gotta keep this old gig fresh somewhat and Naruto itself doesn't do that. Besides, Luster and tabii are in this case just misunderstood. It's like half the characters in Naruto are at this point, Naruto himself included, but he's a good guy. Gaara? Good day? Sasuke? Okay, he's as much of an idiot as made out to be, but they can't all be good. On to the predicting, let's go with Bartz in fourth, he's great and totally informed on the podcast. Roba in fifth, he's quite active, has awful gaming opinions often but makes good topics about them. swordz in sixth then I guess tennisboy in seventh, so I will end up guessing those three eliminated I mentioned in the beginning of this way over average long division predix. Feels really weird though. I guess as I appraoch my 10th Board 8 anniversary and being on my sixth year predicting this contest, you start to really notice how popularity changes on this board.

liberal hivemind Division
KCF0107
HanOfTheNekos
PrinceKaro
KommunistKoala
RayDyn (Sgt Sphynx)
Lockes Ragnarok
KanzarisKelshin
---
AlecTrevelyan006
DaruniaTheGoron
MycroProcessor

I also believe KCF will defend his division, Han coming in second and Karo in third. Koala and RayDyn should move on with little trouble too. I'm very uncertain about Kanz, he's very active again and he's being a great user too, but his stunt during the 2013 contest was definitely bad and he's in a division with no easy people to minus. That said, I'll predict him through, but after Lockes. This is based on Alec, Darunia and Mycro being inactive despite being great users. Back to the thing about how things changes, a few years ago, Alec would've won this dvisions with ease. Crazy. I finished the second movie btw. Only one more where they are kids!
