@ruined_king: Yes, I'm aware. Sometimes he gets the warnings too. It all depends on who goes past the limit of banned behavior first.

@blackspidey2099 who is tucker?

OK, current votes, clarifying beatboks's votes and adding the new ones. I also missed one for reaverlation. I also cut anyone who hasn't been here a year, as per the rules. Voting ends in about 9 hours.

@estrelladeleonn: Quit it.

@beatboks1: Alright--did you want to vote for everyone who got a vote already, or just those in that previous summary, since there have been some since then? Right now I'm assuming just the ones you listed.

Please remember that someone needs THREE votes to make it onto the list of official nominees. Voting is open til Sunday.

This does not include people who got new votes, but are already in the list of nominees in the OP, because they do not need to be renominated!

@nixtollo I'm sorry, we can't count your vote, you need a post count of at least 500 to vote.

@thewatcherking: I'll tag all HOF members and all nominees when we put the voting thread up.

Anyone else who wants to be tagged for the main voting thread. let me know.

That was a fun, insane investigation of Transformers cosmology. I am a fan of fun and insane. Nothing like digging all the way down the gopher hole. For me, that's what geekdom is all about--caring enough about something this wacky that you put enormous effort into making it coherent. Which you did, this seems well put together.

Outside of the toys and cartoons, I got into Transformers comics maybe 10 years ago or so with All Hail Megatron and stuck with them a while after that but unfortunately didn't keep it up. So I enjoy peeking at some of what I missed. It's nice to see Transformers having a bit of a rebirth in debating here on CV in the last year or so. Back in the day there was a minor scene of both Transformers and GI Joe along with superheroes and the rest so it was too bad that they kind of got lost in the forums for a long time. And Transformers really does have a pretty deep and broad history, it deserves to sit along with the rest of the genres.

Folks, reminder to look at the existing list of nominees in the OP, you don't need to nominate someone if they're already on the list.

I'm gonna just break in here a second to point out that the HOF nomination thread is now open. Seeing as you all have opinions on who is the better debater I figured you might have opinions on who should be on the nominees this round. Please note that previous rounds' nominees are already automatically included as nominees again for this round.

On topic, I'm gonna go with Pyro.
