all is good to read
but once people know about it they have a habit of sticking in crap like "vote for me and I'll post a picture of me naked" and then when we mod it they scream blue murder that it's undemocratic and we're more evil than Stalin.

We want the best of to actually be about good stories and not a load of vote rigging crap.

Big Rob
Layin' down the law.

There he goes now, down the street, past the saloon and off into the sunset.

As if he'd pass a saloon
That's crazy talk.

In all fairness
An example of this was followed by the poster saying 'actually vote for the best story, not this'. Plus it was hilarious to watch people throwing hissy fits at the fact it was doing well.

not the only example and I'm not ragging on Becky - just an example that came to mind
anyway - if you want to play silly buggers then keep it in /offtopic. that's why I opened it.

QOTW is for stories - hopefully true, some of them not so true, but stories and not vote rigging ego games.

I do agree on all these points
It did almost bring on something resembling a MFOTFABL though.

oh yeah - I don't really care what it means
I just enjoyed guessing the blanks.

OOH. Idea. Acronym quiz. Multiple players. Points for accuracy. Points for funny.

There's a multiplayer web game thing I think it's called acrowars?
That's a bit similar, it's very rough around the edges though, it could be a lot better.

I like the idea
But feel I would be rubbish at it.
