The Julays 2025 Pre-Show Discussion - Because I'm so over recency bias messing with who gets nominated

[Kikemaster]

Haven't seen this mentioned either now or in previous years (aside from me), but:
Why do we not have a meta category? For me, forum events are often way more entertaining than lolcow happenings. There should be a category featuring lolsuits against KF, media campaigns, DDoS attacks etc.
My name for that would be as Null has titled one subforum: "Take that off the god damn internet"
There's plenty of events for nomination

 

[Asian tech support]

Aufmerksamkeit! Aufmerksamkeit! A last minute nomination for lolcow media.
Stinks getting arrested.

Provide a video or we’re going to assume this is a gay op.

I am afraid they won't let him out on bail

Just reminded about Cyraxx ween earlier this year who was on the site and later also got his own thread and was arrested for picking a fight with the Goblin himself shortly after.
Can Alex "LowT" Taffini aka @blkdiamondz be nominated for OPSec fail award?

Alexander Tafini is a 29 year old retard who ruined his and his families lives for internet clout. He’s a manchild who went from being someone unheard of to doxxing his family, ran his family out of their home, assaulted another lolcow, copy-write struck actual content creators, claiming middle school track records as a point of bragging at 29 years old, wasting the FBI’s time with frivolous pictures, filed lawsuits against two police precincts, is now potentially homeless, is suing their own father, and is trying to wage a retard war against the Farms in the span of just TWO...

If anything that should absolutely be put up for best lolcow media for the pirate wizard costume alone.

Seems like a good contender, but didn't he make his account because he was already being discussed on site? I don't think that qualifies for OpSec failure.

He started posting in the Cyraxx thread, if I remember correctly and he also wanted to sue users who made fun of him.

ftfw.
Thread Tax: I agree with this and to add a further point, Smokey and Brendan (Kiwi Tapes) just did their own equivalent to the julay awards (lazily called "The Lolcow Awards")
basically it was a nonstop livestream of nothing but talking about their main cow nova online, and other dumb bullshit while their paypig audience was paying them hundreds of dollars for them to moralfag about how good they are. I think they made probably over $1000 maybe $2000 during the whole livestream.
And for the actual awards they mention nova 11 times and he was on the podium 5 times and of the 5 times on the podium he had 4 "wins" in 1st place category, as for lolcow of the year they picked tophiachu who also won the "white woman of the year" award.
Overall, kiwitubers are grifters who steal things from the farms and manage to mostly get away with it, are constantly in gayops and shit-flinging with other cows, and are ginormous assholes.

So remember that estimate I did about how much cash they made on "the lolcow awards", turns out they made almost $2500, I went through added all the money, converted the ones that were in other currencies (euros, pounds, pesos, and the variety of dollars from Australia, Canada, and New Zealand) and managed to get a number near the $2500 range, and youtube takes a 30% of the money and the rest gets split to them. These fags made almost a grand each in the end if they did end up splitting the money. And knowing kiwi and smokey, they're probably gonna use said money for booze, drugs, and dumb nigger trinkets as per usual. Expect nothing less from these kiwitubers, you shit touch lolcows, steal from the farms, and get all the money in return and a fan base of nothing but redditors and discord fags fillating your ever incoming presence. Fuck kiwitubers!

Just to confirm that I am committed to doing a custom voting page this year. Does anyone have thoughts on mechanism? I am debating either Score Voting or Ranked Voting.

Honestly Ranked Voting seems better to me in regards to this.

I think ranked voting would be better

Ranked definitely.

 

[Jemn Oopi]

I am debating either Score Voting or Ranked Voting.

Ranked voting is the one that people actually use IRL, so I imagine that it has a lot more guidance and example implementations available.

 

[Admiral Throbnelius]

I prefer the ranked voting system.

Should Josh also include the Lolcow Emeritus vote on the same page as the other Julays?

I'll talk to him about that once I get the rest of the Julay board done tomorrowish, it does make sense to do those together if possible

Anisa and her pet gimp for LOTY.

ALMOST went for Hasan because I think the title of LOTY would mentally devastate him worse than it would the Jomhas but he hasn't earned it as much.

 

[Catboy Ranch Dressing]

Best Put to Pasture Lolcow
The best lolcow who died in 2025.

This award is being given to Josh Saunders / KingCobraJFS. Fuck sickos.

Objectively correct choice. Black flame to light my green smoke.

 

[ChickenFriedFan]

Ranked voting is the most fair I think.
