: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!

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 2: Subforum Voting.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
Who's the goodest dog of all?

Kiska

Kiska is a good dog because she plays fetch, loves belly rubs, and eats inappropriate things like cardboard :colbert:



learnincurve posted:

Name: Wandy
Reason: Wandy was a good bird and a shining example of what all birds, potato or otherwise, should aspire to be.



GoldStandardConure posted:

Tash

Tash was a good dog because her favorite food was ants. She would find an ant trail and lick them all up.

Hannah the African Grey

You better nominate him because otherwise he'll give you the evil eye and murder you in your sleep.

Shark Sandwich posted:

Excellent dogs all around. This is mine. His name is Charlie and he is loyal and he hates playing fetch.

I want to nominate one of my dogs, but I think this dog is better:

Oliver
My adopted buddy. He was pretty fat when I got him, but unlike most goons he is constantly working to better himself through diet and exercise.





Harvey Baldman posted:

Cody

He is terrified of everything, except people, in whom he invests unconditional trust and love, and his water bowl, which is the best thing ever apparently.

Tarkus

He's a Good Boy because he let me wear my new moccasins for 3 whole days before chewing them up.

Butler



butler is a good boy because he kills rats and appreciates visual art

Darth Walrus posted:

Chloe

She's a good puppy...



... and an excellent hat.

Tendai's Judah, an excellent cockatiel, an ur-potato

His antics were always the best and most potato, and he launched the "Not Judah" award, currently held by Steve. I still miss him, even though I am an internet stranger with my own birds.

Terra is a GoldenAussie (possibly) we adopted 2 months ago from a shelter.
She is a very good dog because:
1. She overcame separation anxiety (with the help of Prozac and behavioral training)
2. She loves all people, kids, dogs, cats, etc. We are in the beginning stages to train her to become a therapy dog. She loves it!
3. She is the softest, calmest thing to pet. If this was a softness competition, she would win hands down.

I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok.
Grats to everyone on having good dogs. I don't know if it is possible to convert the poll into a checkbox poll at this time, but some of the other subforums use a checkbox poll and it is a great option imo because it allows people to show support for more than 1 good dog.

As per tournament organizer pig slut lisa, the subforum voting round is now :siren:CLOSED:siren:!




Congratulations to GASTON, who is actually in no way anybody's pet and has killed at least one goon to date.

No one's white as Gaston
No one bites like Gaston
No one causes your cats such a fright as Gaston!


As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating~

Word, such a bird, that Gaston!






Honorable mention to Tash, who was clearly also a very, very good dog. :)

Final voting will begin Saturday!

Hello! You do not have PMs, so I am just going to post this here and hopefully you see it.

-----

Hello where the red fern gropes,

Congrats on your big win! In a couple days, your nominee will go up against winners from other subforums to determine the Top Dog of Something Awful.

There is a PRIZE for the winner. The PRIZE is donations to the animal-related charity of the winner's choice. How exciting and wonderful!

Please select an animal-related charity you would like to represent in the final voting. This charity must be able to accept donations online. Please make your selection in a timely fashion, as I would like to get the ballot posted this weekend. If I don't hear back from you, I will select a charity for you.

Thanks, and best of luck in the championship round!
