Awarded to me yesterday<\/p><\/div>\n

Thanks for voting for me once again.  2010 was barely a competition, and we easily beat that no-name kuroihito oshirikaze whatever blog.  What a scrub.  Why did they even let such an unpopular blog into the tournament?<\/p>\n

This year, I expected to see some tough competition from Sea Slugs Anime Blog, but with J159 out of the picture, there was no stopping the flomu juggernaut.  Scamp tried desperately to blow up some vote rigging scandal with CSW! in the hopes that his own cheating scheme would get by unseen, but my rampant popularity stopped that plot before it got out of hand.  In fact, I was so popular that he and all his partners in crime decided to vote for me as well.<\/p>\n

Defending the title<\/p><\/div>\n

But flomu, how come somebody voted against you?<\/p>\n

I’m going to smash their skull in!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well, I wasn’t going to be a bad sport, so I decided to give them my pity vote.  Besides, landslide victories aren’t my favorite, even though I always somehow achieve them.<\/p>\n

Though I would have liked it if the tournament had been at least minutely challenging.  Another boring year of beating down noob bloggers.  sigh…<\/p>\n

Scamp gives up.<\/p><\/div>\n

I appreciate Scamp’s support of my blog, but I think that finally drove the nail into the camel’s back.  When the event host himself supports a specific blog and shuts down the tournament so that the other blogs in the tourney don’t have to go through the shame of losing, it seems a little bad.  I mean, it’s not like I wanted to win, but I just can’t help myself.  Jeez guys, you’re embarrassing me…<\/p>\n

Vote for your own blogs for once!<\/p>\n

This post was full of criticism, but that’s just because I wanted to save the best for last.  I’d like to thank each and every one of you who voted for me in this tournament.  Without you, I would have never been able to come so far and accomplish so much.  Thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
