Remember your basic instructions: you have a total of 3 points to award to DICK contestants. You may award all three to one candidate by voting for that person as both DICK and runner-up, or you may divide them by giving 2 to a DICK candidate and 1 to a runner-up. The winner will be the contestant with the highest combined point total. You must cast one vote in every category. The last selection is the equivalent of a "pass."All other categories are more straightforward: you have one vote for each category. Use it wisely. Here, for any N00bs, are the definitions for each category: WP:DICK of Distinction -- for all-around rottenness by an admin The Tag-Team Event (see Wikipedia:Tag team) Miss Incongeniality, for original and flamboyant violations of Wikipedia:CivilityVexatious Litigant, for the person who just can't get enough of those noticeboards and arbitration cases and for the good guys... the Straight Shooter award for honest admins and the Cojones de latón, for the non-admin who has distinguished himself in combat with the cabal Click here for a history of this exalted competition, if you need the back-story. All set? Let's vote! Keep it clean. Winners will be announced after the voting peters out in about 10 days.

QUOTE(Alison @ Thu 3rd February 2011, 6:46am) Porn protection cabal is streaking into the lead, I see.
I hope they're having full frontal shots taken of their streaking. That would be vital encyclopedic material. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/mellow.gif)

QUOTE(Herschelkrustofsky @ Thu 3rd February 2011, 3:29pm) Interesting... for the first time, several members in good standing of the Review are making a strong showing in the Bad Guys categories.
Are you talking about Ottava? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/biggrin.gif) On another note: I think this year is a first (?): neither Jayjg or SlimVirgin have been nominated in any category. See, what happen when we do not have our normal piñatas to kick: we run around like headless chicken (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

"Vexatious litigant" is a tricky one; spoilt for choice ...

And they're off! In early polling, Cirt leads the pack with 19 points, followed by Sandstein with 14 points, GeorgeWilliamherbert with 11, and the Review's own Lar with 10. The Porn Protectors have established themselves as the team to beat in the tag event, while the Review's own Ottava owns Miss Incongeniality with 12 votes, followed by IronDuke and Tarc with 6 each. The Vexatious Litigant race is wide open with the Review's own Abd leading Baseball Bugs, Cyclopedia and FT2 by a narrow margin. In the Straight Shooter event, Scott MacDonald née Doc glasgow looks unstoppable with Will Beback practically calling him a Scientologist at Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Scientology. And finally for Cojones de latón, perennial favorite Cla68 has an early lead, but MZMcBride is breathing down his neck with only a one vote margin between them.

(IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/popcorn.gif) Gotta give Will beback points for trying? No. Maybe I am a Scientologist - or maybe I just don't think we should describe everyone who once went to a Scientology meeting as "evil cultist bastard" on their BLP? Anyway, can I put in his early nomination for next year's "Vexatious Litigant"?

QUOTE(EricBarbour @ Fri 4th February 2011, 10:52am) For sheer quantity of hatred and backstabby stuff, Cirt deserves the big win.
(Do you realize that not one of the past DICK winners has changed their behavior in the slightest as a result of winning? It would be nice to think that people like SV, Jayjg and JzG were eventually sanctioned partly as a result of winning, but you'd have some real difficulty proving it. Being called a DICK, repeatedly, hasn't affected Gerard in the slightest.)
I've got a feeling most of the top contenders are the types to see being reviled by WR as a 'badge of honor' or something. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/yecch.gif) This post has been edited by JayT:

you can't polish a turd. On the other hand, note that David Gerard has actually backed Scott up. Time for a 5-minute moratorium on Gerard-bashing?

QUOTE( @ Sun 6th February 2011, 5:21pm) Cirt has now emerged as the dominant contestant for WP:DICK
That's scarcely surprising, given all the publicity there's been for his anti-Scientology antics. (Not that I'm exactly pro-Scientology myself, I stress.) QUOTE Meanwhile, Ottava is still the man to beat in the Miss Incongeniality category
Let's give Ottava all praise when he deserves it. He's run a staggeringly good and determined campaign for the honour. Look at this thread for example. How could even IronDuke compete? This post has been edited by Gruntled:

QUOTE(Ottava @ Mon 7th February 2011, 12:01pm) QUOTE(MZMcBride @ Sun 6th February 2011, 1:57pm)
Miss Incongeniality going to Ottava isn't really a surprise given the primary voter base here, but I voted for TenPoundHammer. Looks unlikely that he'll be able to pull ahead at this point, but he'll always be the biggest, craziest diva to me. I mean ... the otters? Come on!
I find it interesting that I get votes along with those I've disputed with - Abd, FT2, Porn Cabal, etc. Fun. Why is that interesting? The list of people you haven't been a dispute with is, after all, vanishingly small. (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/tongue.gif)

(IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/wink.gif) That one's for the little tin gods who lord it over their anonymous WP domain. Then cower at the thought that anybody in the real world might find them and punch their lights out for their online behavior. You know-- stuff they'd never be dumb enough to do in an office, or say in a bar.

Wow, MZMcBride really has elastic balls! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif) I haven't been following, what was Cla68's reason for being in that section? Cla68 has been a stalwart foe of WikiKorruption for some time now, and has won the Cojones de latón honors for the past two years running. MZMcBride may have been a bit of a dark horse -- I haven't followed his exploits on-Wiki, but he clearly has many members of the Academy in his camp. Meanwhile, Georgewilliamherbert is putting on the steam, leaving Sandstein behind in the runner-up DICK contest. Could he still give Cirt a run for their money? And don't rule out the Climate Changers for tag-team -- they still pose a credible challenge to the Porn Protectors. Meanwhile, the Vexatious Litigant event has got everyone on the edge of his seat. At the moment, FT2 has acquired a 1 vote lead over Abd and Baseball Bugs, but this race has been full of surprises, and no contestant can claim a decisive advantage at this juncture.
