I!'s 100 Posts, 100 Baits! (The Nominees)

Hey guys. This is the big announcment, the I! blog will be assembling a Top 100 Baits of All Time (April '06-July '07) and YOU will be involved!

About a month ago, I contacted Zgamer, Brian (Arizona), Pat and Daniel and said "Hey, I want to do a Top 100 list and I want you to be a part of it. We asked them if we made a Top 100 list what baits they thought would have to be on the list and then Z and I made sure we had about 150 baits and polished the list a bit and then we made the Top 150 baits that YOU will be choosing from to construct your own Top 25 plus Honorable Mentions, so let me explain that.

If you so desire you can assemble your personal Top 25 plus 10 Honorable Mentions of the Top 150 baits that we have and then you can send the list to baitanoscar@yahoo.com and after a couple of weeks then the panel and myself will count the ballots and then we'll release the Top 100 bit by bit.

So without further ado here are the 150 baits that we thought were the best...

So if you want to make a list (WHICH WE WOULD LOVE!!!) just send your Top 25 and 10 honorable mentions. Make sure and send then to baitanoscar@yahoo.com and they HAVE TO BE FROM THE LIST! Also, I don't care if you put your baits in the honorable mentions section, but DO NOT over do it or your ballot will not be counted. Anyone can send if a list as long as they have submitted a bait the to the contest and they must prove it by saying the name of the bait. Discuss in the forums, the comments, and our forum will have a seperate discussion on it. Have fun and congratulations to the authors whose baits are on the list. Any other information on the contest will be added as an addendum section (at the very bottom of the article)!

just wanted to say thanks for the fact that Gone With a Dream, Clue and Pygmalion are on the list.

Ryne said...

a few really questionable choices, but overall, not a bad list

Tony said...

Awesome idea.

However I'm puzzled, The Angel in Hells Alley made the list but Dr. Death didn't...yikes.

zgamer said...

Yes, there were some debates over some of the more questionable nominees on the list, but we tried to be fair to everyone who contributed potential nominees. I think we overall got a good majority of them, but in the end it's the voting that decides who will make it.

Harry said...

I feel honored because five baits of mine made the cut. Thanks a lot for supporting "Behind the Show", "Between Elephants and Mice", "Destiny", "Imagine" and "The Sun King".

zgamer said...

Remember to send your Top 25 and 10 honorable mentions to the e-mail address listed on the post. And congrats to everyone who made it on the list.

Also, thank you for the nine mentions on the list. That means a lot. I doubt they'll all make it to the final 100, but at least they got recognized.

Yay! 11 possible spots!

I will be sending my votes some time this week.
