And it made one-eighth the difference.
:shibe: Welcome to the Something Awful Top Dog Tournament! :cheerdoge:

The Something Awful Top Dog Tournament is a competition to determine the top dog across this whole forum. Think you know a pooch who's up for the task? Nominate a dog, win the subforum round, and take on the top dogs from subforums across SA!

How does it work? :eng101:

The three stages of the Top Dog Tournament are:
1) Subforum Nomination - Each participating subforum has a nomination thread for posters to nominate potential Top Dogs
2) Subforum Voting - Each subforum votes to determine the champion that will represent them in the forumwide vote
3) Forumwide Voting - The champions from every subforum go head to head to determine the Top Dog of the Tournament

This thread is Stage 1: Subforum Nomination

To nominate a dog for the tournament, please post ONCE AND ONLY ONCE in this thread in the following format:
  • Dog name
  • One sentence about why this dog is a good dog
  • Picture of dog

An example of a properly formatted nomination post is as follows:

quote:

Otis

Otis is a good dog because he once ate an entire loaf of pumpkin bread and pooped bright orange for two days


Nominations will be open until at least Wednesday, March 1 FRIDAY, MARCH 3. Polls for subforum voting will open shortly after.

Questions and Answers
  • Do I have to post my own dog?
    No! Post any dog you like.

  • Can I nominate more than one dog?
    No! Please nominate only one dog and choose one subforum to nominate in.

  • Does the dog I nominate have to be a real dog?
    Nope! Paintings, cartoons, doodles, ASCII art, it's all fine. The only condition is that the dog must be Good.

  • Can I vote in subforums I don't actively participate in?
    Definitely! Please visit all the participating subforums so you don't miss any dogs.

  • Where can I talk about the dogs that I like and dislike?
    The voting threads are a great place to talk about the dogs you like! Please only post nominations in the nomination thread.

    It is illegal to dislike any dogs


  • Won't the big subforums crowd out the little ones during the final vote?
    Who knows and who cares!

  • Who should I talk to if I have questions?
    The mod of each subforum is a good place to start. You can also ask tournament organizer pig slut lisa any questions or post in QCS.

  • Who's a good boy?
    All of them :3:

Do you know of any other dogs that can turn into pogo sticks, hoverboards, and submarines? I didn't think so.

The enemy of my enemy is my enemy.
Missile

Is good at barking, swapping positions of two similar-shaped objects and traversing through stable time loops (the slow way) to save his master because that's apparently what Good Doggies do.

Don't post Small Dash!
That Dog From The Road Warrior

This dog is cool and good and helps Mad Max fight the bad guys but let's be honest they're the real star of the movie they can hold their own in most situations and made the Gyrocaptain look like a goddamned chump I mean look at the dexterity and discipline that dog has to hold the man captive at gun point especially with tasty rabbits running around on the roadside just in the periphery truly a good dog but they also care about their master and are loyal and all those good things about dogs but also they are great because this is a video game subforum and this dog is the influence for Fallout's Dogmeat so if we're going to nominate Dogmeat I feel I would neglectful if I didn't ensure that the Mad Max dog was also nominated since they are the original you see it would be like if this was the Something Awful Top Snake Tournament and someone nominated Solid Snake but nobody bothered to nominate Snake Plissken it would be a goddamned tragedy is what it would be anyways that's why I have nominated this dog the best dog the dog from Mad Max dog I hope you all like and subscribe best wishes this dog better win.
