Event S30 Rookie “Torch of the Year” Award [Rising Star]

[serial_thrilla]

I disagree with this--- I can see multiple high quality posters not even on this weeks list that haven't had a nom yet.

tony , RobR, VandoHawk, T2B_ , kickthething. (I'm sure I've missed someone as well).

In addition with the first 7 weekly winners & the 5 from this week that's enough quality there for Noms to be of a high quality all season.

There's 16 spots for 17 good posters when I last checked. This is just a glorified version of musical chairs.

I will do anything to get that last chair.

Is this how you & Muddiemoose finally turn on one another after a season of Friendship?

This problem could of easily been avoided if the expansion bids got up and we got an extra round of qooty

If it comes to the moose and I for the last chair he can have it, his got those big bloody sharp horns and knows how to use them.

But then I wouldn't be a Furie--- I love being a Furie.

Good?

Millky95 knows that I'll always be the Christian to his Edge.



Even if one of us is playing for a different team (like TNA) or is retired for a few years-- we'll always be a great duo and kayfabe brothers.

 

[serial_thrilla]

Good?

Relatively.

 

[BLUEALLTHRU]

I'm very happy to miss out. I love pouring drinks and drinking them.

Already writing your concession speech?

It's ok-- you'll get the weekly nom eventually. Keep trying & eventually the Committee will be drunk enough to appreciate your posting abilities.

I thought we'd made a deal! Should we release the PM's

Sure......

Mister M will win this award and I hope ho does. *******s have to have something going for them

"WHY SHOULD THIS ROOKIE BE THE TORCH?!"
​

Each week, Committee members must justify their choices of match thread winners. This not only helps us choosing who wins the Torch, but it also works as reference for all the rookies on what it is expected from them in the match threads.

This is what it was said about each one of the nominees this round:


Elmer_Judd

Spoiler: Elmer_Judd (WON)

Fresh off of a suspension, Elmer_Judd had something to prove, but he knew that he had to prove himself to his captain first

Elmer_Judd said:

Hope @Sab22 can find a spot for me this week after my sabbatical. I am in top top shape after a rest and am amped up to the max to get righr back into it.

The wanted criminal himself admitted to seeing some things he probably shouldn't have

Elmer_Judd said:


Depends if you count classic 80s toons I loved as a Child like Voltron as anime.

If so, burn you to tell, anime rocks !

Seen some seriously deranged Manga movies over the years though, stuff that wouldn't be allowed on XHamster or PornHub

He squared up his opponents (which came back to haunt him)

Elmer_Judd said:


Gotta say, we are playing some real lightweights in the Furies this week, should be easy peasy lemon squeezey for the Wonders to get the four points

But like, he REALLY wanted to win

Elmer_Judd said:

FYI I didn't make the image, but I am going in all guns blazing to see the Wonders get our second win this week.

Elmer_Judd said:


We are not quitters at the Wonders. We are gonna keep on fighting till the bitter end.

He leaked Millky95's strategy for recruiting new rookies

Elmer_Judd said:

He established himself as someone not to mess with

Elmer_Judd said:

And he was very unhappy about the BasQetBall results

Elmer_Judd said:

I am all fired up following the Celtics loss in the NBA playoffs. I am not to be trifled with or cop any Wonders SLANDER today cause I am MAD as a wet Hen

And despite wanting to win so much, he was "crestfallen". Seriously mate just say fu** the sim like a normal person

Elmer_Judd said:


Crestfallen.

It was a fun week though thanks Furries

He's had a slow start to his time in the SFA, but the premier Wonders rookie is starting to work his way into the SFA, and he's producing some great banter

kickthething

Spoiler: kickthething (BOM)

Round 8 against the Dees saw Bomber rookie kickthething show off his posting repertoire. He showed he'd bothered to read the Rookie Posting 101 handbook when he opened with the tried and true gambit of, 'the other team are boring' line ...

kickthething said:


Give me a nudge when something interesting starts to happen

When the Dees eventually showed up the convo got pretty serious and kickthething was able to contribute a quote that perfectly sums up the Bombers ...

kickthething said:


@Santoz that quote is way too cerebral for this lot, maybe share something like this

"There's a lot of baggage that comes with us, but it's like Louis Vuitton baggage; you always want it."

- Kim Kardashian

He then channeled his inner WaynesWorld19 ...

kickthething said:


"Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections...........It settles them into predictable patterns of response........... occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate......................."
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

One of the better ones @Dero

Before turning back the clock to his youth and memories of cricket ...

kickthething said:


Those were the days when Duncan Fearnley Terryarmour bats ruled at school.....do they make terryarmour bats anymore?

kickthething said:


haha...remember how pi55ed I was one Christmas when a terryarmour bat was in the stocking, got my backside kicked for ripping it all off the bat.

We all know there's about 50% truth in that story much like every anecdote shared in the SFA. The bat wasn't in his stocking, it was stolen.

Anyway, come TubeRadio on Friday evening he gave us an insight into what goes down in his bedroom ...

kickthething said:


The start of the clip reminds of how my wife comes to bed each night...

Before shifting right back to 101 Shitposting by lying about penises ...

Tony Lynn 15 said:


Yeah, might actually be time for @Kilroy to mix it up a touch.

This will be @Santoz followed by @cadsky followed by @kickthething

Anyone else noticing a similar demographic here?

kickthething said:


Blokes with huge knobs?

When it comes to gameday, he's starting to get his pregame nutrition to where it needs to be ...

kickthething said:


Always good to have some fruit for breakfast.

Congrats on another fine week kickthething, your shitposting repertoire is coming along nicely

MC Bad Genius

Spoiler: MC Bad Genius (DRA)

Dragon rookie MC Bad Genius was back again this week, after his quest for a Torch of the Week nomination was torpedoed by certain members of the committee with unreasonable dislike of coriander.

This time he was up against the Gumbies, and he asks the question that all rookies ask when they first come across Barrybran's mob, whilst eventually realising the truth:

MC Bad Genius said:


What is a gumby?

MC Bad Genius said:


Aaaahhhh I see. I thought it odd you'd name a sporting team after a derogatory term for someone with mobility issues, but I guess naming it after a 1950's Claymation serial that is considered a cornerstone of the art of claymation as animation is just as confusing.

He drove some interesting discussion around conspiracy theories this week:

MC Bad Genius said:


On a very loosely related note, I recently read a fantastic conspiracy theory that Michael Jackson's parents were actually Diana Ross and Smokey Robinson. It was pretty compelling.

MC Bad Genius said:


And Smokey would've been 18, which is why there was a need to cover it up.

And added to the rather one-sided debate about the dangers of Magpies this time of year:

MC Bad Genius said:


My friend made an addictive mobile game called Swoopy Boi, where you play as a magpie that swoops everyone walking past the local milk bar. It's great fun!

And as is tradition with all Dragons threads this year, food was on the conversation menu; MC then decided to take it to strange new places:

MC Bad Genius said:


We've talked about pineapple on pizzas, Big Mac vs Big Jack, parmi or parma, but we haven't naturally carried on to what I think is something Australia, nay, the world needs to get on the same page around. And that is the abbreviation of breakfast.

Does it have a double k?
Should it end in "y" or "ie"?
For the love of God, why do people put an "a" in there?

Before finishing off with yet another parting salvo to Bear rookie guero (who had made a cameo to gloat):

MC Bad Genius said:


I never claimed to be a foodie. I just challenged your claim of making "elite" guac.

MC is beginning to find his feet in the SFA, and his sarcastic wit and encyclopedic knowledge of TV shows is coming to the fore. Surely this is the week he finally claims a Torch?

Muddiemoose

Spoiler: Muddiemoose (LVB)

The Bear-Warriors match thread was another week where the kids were left to run amok. There were many highlights, but the pick of the bunch was the Antlered Crusader, Muddiemoose. Here's why:

He started off with introductions:

Muddiemoose said:


Don’t be silly

my username is based of my persona

Muddiemoose said:


How’s it going Doc!
First time caller long time listener here

So what are you a doctor of?

Muddiemoose said:


Treat em mean, keep them keen

na I just like abusing you because you are the only member of the warriors that I can ever remember apart from the Ross Lyon guy and the weird monkey puppet guy

Muddiemoose said:


The weird monkey puppet that is genuine nightmare fuel

It looks familiar but I dunno where I may of seen it

Muddiemoose said:


Ohhh and the bob guy
He’s alright

The mood quickly took a turn as the thread entered an unforeseen wardrobe (from NaturalDisaster's point of view at least) to begin 'The Chronicles of Numnut':

Muddiemoose said:


That’s numb nut, Mr Disaster

Remember I’m a testicular cancer survivor and I will play the cancer card any chance I get

Muddiemoose said:


Well he should.
We cancer survivors are like vegans and will bring up the fact any chance we get even without being promoted

Did you know I’m a cancer survivor?

Then things got grim:

Muddiemoose said:


Well I have had a colonoscopy... they are actually f’ed
Whatever they put in those sashays is more potent than a kebab from moose’s kebabs 4am on a Tuesday night

And grimmer:

Muddiemoose said:


Yeah they call it the “prep”
You can’t eat solid food for 24 hours and only allowed clear liquids

Than the night before you drink this special drink that clears whatever is left out
By the end of it
It is like water.
like clear
Probably drinkable

Muddiemoose said:


Tell me about it

At one stage to aid my failing kidney they were putting a stent in it that had to be replaced every few months and the only way to put a stent in a kidney is feed the tube up your mr moose

You literally piss blood for a couple of days after and the pain is like nothing else I have ever experienced

Grimmer still:

Muddiemoose said:


The procedure I had last year wasn’t pleasant either

I now suffer from what is called retrograde ejection so instead of the sperm coming out normal it feeds back into my bladder and since mrs moose and I are trying to have a baby calf

they needed to extract the semen, first they tired to remove from my urine but the quality wasn’t good enough so they decided to get it straight from the source... syringe straight into my testicle and removed that way

it was as pleasant as it sounds

He's nothing if not practical though:

Muddiemoose said:


Worst part about that was I had to wait until Monday before I could go to the doctors so I could pretend I did it at work

What do you do for a living?

Muddiemoose said:


Printer and fitter by trade

Gotta print that junk mail for you campaigners

Anything else?

Muddiemoose said:


S

since covid I’ve been getting into modelling just for some extra income

I seem to be a hit with my coworkers View attachment 964876

No really what do you do?

Muddiemoose said:


Na I don’t really do anything
Pretty much stand around waiting for something to break down so I can fix it

But only enough so it breaks down again at some point so I can justify my job

His prescience is on point:

Muddiemoose said:


I just hope I don’t kick any ******* goals

The only games we have lost have been games that I’ve kicked goals in so it’s obviously my fault...

Or the fact old pencil neck @NaturalDisaster has been the campaigner running the sim on our two losses

He thinks he’s going to get the bears backing for his admin push he can fu** right off

He's a good judge of character:

Muddiemoose said:


Seems like the type of kid who would enjoy shitting in the urinals

Uh oh...

Muddiemoose said:


Well I’m now approaching the 20 hour mark without any sleep so my posting might become more erratic from here on out

Muddiemoose said:


Oh did I say erratic before?
I meant to say erotic View attachment 965168

Muddiemoose said:


Na fu** that
I would rather lick the bathroom floor of a gentleman’s club than be a teammate of that campaigner

NaturalDisaster was a common topic, maybe he occupied a bit too much of the Moose's attention:

Muddiemoose said:


Hey it’s me @Tonga Bob on muddies account
Yes you have ruined me and you are a sh*t mod and I hate you and your tacky and lame

Before... well... this:

Muddiemoose said:


No he’s actually my testicle that I had removed that has been anthropomorphised isn’t that right skip

Decent inning there, Speedbag!

BLUEALLTHRU

Spoiler: BLUEALLTHRU (ROY)

The Swamprat Leadership Group unanimously awarded the Fatty Lumpkin medal to BLUEALLTHRU as best Roy poster in Round 8: "Thought Blueallthru was pretty funny most of the time." "He was my favourite." "He has my vote too." And so on.

This means that the Sin City representatives considered BAT, not the best rookie, but the best overall poster this week. Last week, the story was similar. The justification used the words of Bomber capitain Antonio BlueVein to describe BAT's qualities as a match-thread poster.

This is his third consecutive nomination, and in none he was chosen as second-best behind Supersuns. Slowly, but steadly, BLUEALLTHRU has become a star of his own. He is now in control of the pub at the BJO, and it is always nice to have someone able to chat well running the bar.

He is not perfect, of course. He is very welcoming, but not a soccer guy at all:
"sorry sarah you can come as long as you don't talk soccer sh*t."
"I understand your passion, I also love the supporter barracking and the fact they like beer. 90 minutes and no result fu** off!"

But that's understandable:
"I come from an English heritage who all loved Villa. Soccer is sh*t!"

He is supportive of his team and teammates:
"Roys are gonna rip ya heads off and sh*t down ya neck! Enough of the nice chit chat, it's time to talk truth!"[Narrator: the truth was that the Roys lost.]
"but those 7 touches are gold[, RobR]."

Besides, he is humble:
"I'm sorry if I have taken your post to seriously but what are you getting at? I'm new here and feeling my way, if you have advice then give it."
"Lead the way mate!"
"Great week and congrats swampies, we ran out of legs, but we haven't ran out of kegs! Drinks are flowing at the BJO.
Till we meet again. To my Roy Boys we'll have a good drink and do our thorough post match chuds!"

The sky is the limit for BLUEALLTHRU. The SFA has taken notice.

tony , RobR, VandoHawk, T2B_ , kickthething. (I'm sure I've missed someone as well).

In addition with the first 7 weekly winners & the 5 from this week that's enough quality there for Noms to be of a high quality all season.

So far, 4 rookies have a perfect 40-point score (one hasn't won the Torch yet).
Then, there are 8 with 30 or more points:
- 5 with 38 points (only 1 has won the Torch);
- Then, 1 with 36, 32, and 30 points each (1 Torch).

Within the 15-29 range, there are 6 rookies (1 Torch).

Those would be the top-18.

Has the GrubbyDeer won something yet? Am sensing GWS Goose level frustrations. The other day we saw the silly Deer being coquettish with a hat stand. Not a good look.

Not yet.
Must lift if he would like a nomination, unlike my situation where everyone knew I was the dominant Rookie.
