: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. 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:

In classic C-SPAM fashion, our nomination + voting phase may have an added dash of POLITICAL INTRIGUE, BACKSTABBING, AND FAKE POLLS, depending on how many nominations there are of course.

Stay tuned for the latest in THE 2017 C-SPAM DOG TOURNAMENT PRIMARY

poo poo so spicy looks like he has a good pedigree
nice and inbred, docile, pre-neutered for convenience
is he a fan of dry food? i can't stand expensive dogs
he is well trained but erratic, he needs to be broken of that
i hear rolled up newspaper, and shoving their faces into the messes they make, is quite effective
all in all, a wonderful breed of cocker spaniel, and a fine addition to any large enough home, preferably with a backyard

He's the best dog because he doesn't conform to human notions of sleeping with your eyes closed or with your tongue inside your mouth, and he harasses my two cats constantly which is a dog's only true job.

Brooklynn is a good dog, because she survived for a long time in a shelter after being found wandering around Kansas highways malnourished and dehydrated, she likes chewing on her ankles, playbiting, scolding squirrels and cuddling, she has missing pieces from the top of her ears and I like to think about her backstory being like a Mad Max road warrior doggle.

This is Loukanikos, the Greek "riot dog", who showed up to multiple protests over the course of several years in Athens.



He died at home in 2014 at the age of ten, his health having been compromised by the various gasses and other nonlethal weapons used against protesters. There's a photo online of a pig kicking him.

Loukanikos is the most C-SPAM dog, and my friend.
