Media Will The Real EKA Winner Please Stand Up?

[DenieD]

​

kananooks seemed like the perfect EKA winner:

• Completely self-centred
• Only posted in one particular way (Garfield gifs)
• Didn't have a clue about anything happening in the league

They were the front-runner for the first 11 weeks of the season. I was ready to give kananooks the EKA purely because there was no competition. I mean sure the Garfield media thread did give me a little tickle now and then, but it was mainly a joke thread that most rookies make in week 1 and move on. But kananooks stuck with it for the entire season. Was that insane? Absolutely, but you've got to commend them for following through with it.

So I was very disappointed to see that young rook kananooks had been suspended for the past week or so, and will likely still be suspended for the whole week that the Gumbies play the Furies.

kananooks watching the Furies try to post without them​

I haven't noticed any other season 34 rookie media threads and I am sad to see just how badly the EKA medal worth had diminished in recent times. Does anyone else remember the times back when top 5 beez performers got pipped in the award because a certain someone told everyone they were a fraud? There hasn't been an EKA winner making the top 20 of the beez since Greenery all the way back in season 31. Why is this? Has the rookie classes of season 32, 33 and now 34 been that bad?

Is it the recruiting? Are the teams not working hard enough in the off-season to get posters worthy of receiving the honour of EKA winner? So many questions, so little answers.

I am giving an open letter to all the remaining rookies of season 34. Make a ******* media thread for gods sake. Do it for all the LG members who don't have a bloody clue who you fellas are. Maybe you'll get a couple of votes... Hell you could even win the whole thing if kananooks remains suspended until the vote closing date. Just post something.

Old Boys:

• 2inchmagic (not much magic there)
• Over The Post (can you even kick that high?)
• Dudikins (dude I don't know you)
• Mrs Turbo (nepotism at its finest)
• Fleabane (you got fleas?)
• The Cryptkeeper (you haven't even shown me your crypt?)
• FireKrakouer (krakouers fiery twin?)

Roys:

• DERRINALPHIL (at least you can ruck)

Warriors:

• SBYM (is that a clothing brand?)
• Purple7x08_24 (did you copy and paste a png file name?)
• FurTheWin (why are you not with the Furies?)
• spudmaster (is that you Tony Galati?)

Bombers:

• PetWussy (I'd pet you too)
• Sun Ra (actually decent, probably worth a vote or two)
• YeoGabbaGabba (like the kids show?)

Gumbies:

• The Foolback (definitely a fool for choosing the backline)
• rye (quite the werewolf player, or so i've heard...)

Royals:

• Camros2 (I like camaros)
• Lomas (definitely low mass)

Swamprats:

• KinderSmock (definitely a surprise in there)
• BloodySwan (I'm scared)

Phoenix:

• Tim Evans Beard (cancelled account apparently. i guess there is no more beard on tim evans)
• The Blue Weirdo (painting yourself blue does make you seem weird)
• sey666 (I will not say that)

Furies:

• JyeDye (it rhymes. I wonder what else it does)
• krided (quit crying)
• Chronz (i hope it isn't chronic)
• kananooks (garfield memes are the best)

Demons, Wonders, Bears, Dragons:
​

If I was going to give my votes right now I'd have to say Mrs Turbo is in the lead. But only because Tigerturbulance has coached her all season long.

In the spirit of this thread and because I can’t vote for my own teammates



Purple7x08_24 the Song Contest specialist gets my votes
(along with the underrated Mrs Turbo and Sun Ra )

Good thread, thanks for validating that I am the last true Eka winner.

 

[Sun Ra]

I personally destroyed this "Media Thread". Is that enough ?

You were the last EKA winner with actual competition.

For this rookie class? It damn well could be...

 

[Sun Ra]

Bit harsh on us when our only reference points have been 5 total media threads all by you rating teams logos or some s**t. How are we meant to know what is expected?

Just think up the biggest load of bullshit you can think of and post that in a Media Thread. Simple ?

Destroyed is an understatement mate the reply ******* nuked it's arse off!

 

[Cadsky]

I'm only half a furie this season so I see absolutely no reason I cannot vote for kananooks

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Who was the last beez winner with actual competition?

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

Not sure why making one god awful media thread (that let's be honest has only survived outside of landfill because the mods have taken pity on it) qualifies anyone as an auto EKA winner.

My 321 would be Mrs Turbo by a country mile, JyeDye tickled me earlier in the season and then probably Sun Ra for also being a name I am aware of.

Maybe Sky even, but she's conspicuously not in your OP... well done skipper!

Please lift mate, you've shown a bit this season. Let's see some more.

Each to their own my friend. Go buy yourself some bubblegum.

The answer is actually quite straightforward - the league became a cluster* of high volume, low effort nonsense so rookies aren't inspired to create anything worth reading. Monkey see, monkey do.

I don’t even know what this thread is about but I definitely fall under self-centred and having no idea what’s going on in the league.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

You used to actually notice rookies, and by this time of the season know who is doing well, who isn’t.

Now, with few exceptions, they are pretty underwhelming. Sad days for the league

I agree with you, I do, I do.

 

[TheInjuryFactory]

I don’t even know what this thread is about

Your captain has failed you, and this is a monument to that failure.

I am the captain now but DenieD can continue to do all the work.

On the other side of the fence, apart from my own team, for ages I couldn’t have told you if a poster was a rookie or one of Sweet’s list cloggers (er, long-standing citizens)

The rookies aren’t what they used to be … yeah sure. MEDIA BEAT UP.
