I voted for myself; it's the only provably honest option. :D

Well, we know who ten of the votes will be for, since Benson seems to have indicated the voting trend for those actually mentioned in it. :p

Delightful, PB, most delightful! Onward! I think you should do a poll on who's had the best poll. This one gets my vote.;)

Just to set a baseline:

In modern-day society, ego has many meanings. It could mean one’s self-esteem; an inflated sense of self-worth; or in philosophical terms, one’s self.

and

1. The self, especially as distinct from the world and other selves.
2. In psychoanalysis, the division of the psyche that is conscious, most immediately controls thought and behavior, and is most in touch with external reality.
3.
a. An exaggerated sense of self-importance; conceit.
b. Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

/edit - vote early! vote often!

Well GA, all I can say is I voted for Texrat :D:D:D

Hey anyone with 5300 posts, must think people like hearing his thoughts? I honestly thought I might get some votes, but I guess its still early..

As for voting for myself, bah what fun is that

Hey GA, what do you think :)

qwerty has toned down his signature so much, I found I couldn't vote for him! If this had been three or four months ago, his signature line alone would have compelled me to vote for him.

(I'm not saying he hasn't earned it with his accomplishments, but what happened to the old self-promoting Faheem?)

You haven't seen my post with https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2285#c9 then :P

Haha, we all know the password but I was able to boast then about me figuring it out from that patch 1st :P

I voted for myself and with this post, I WANT YOU TO VOTE FOR ME

Nice hack in that post. I especially like the screenshots: Personal Menu, Personal Launcher, and Large Statusbar Clock! What, no room for Countdown Home?

I feel ya, brutha. You should not be winning this poll. Not by a long shot. And not to mention some easy winners that missed this list. Welcome to Earth.

I'll never catch up to General Antilles in this poll!

And don't you dare ask why GA is winning this poll! Don't you know how to search the forums??? :p

EDIT: I thought you said this poll was anonymous, penguinbait. I can just change two characters in the URL and see exactly who voted for whom.

Do I see some color in those cheeks (new picture), its about time, been doing some beach walking????

You look much happier too.. ;)

Re: Poll: Who has the biggest ego? Top 10 Posters
 
I like how I was the first in the list. :D :rolleyes:

But getting so few votes shrunk my ego. Wait-- as it shrinks, do I lose even more votes??? Is vote containment directly proportional to ego size, vice-versa, or what???

AAAAAAUUUUGHHHH!!! :eek: Moar pole plz kthnxbai.

Note to penguinbait: this is very ironic. I was just about to PM you seeing if we could move past old antagonisms (swear to God). *sigh* Oh, and my post count isn't related to ego, dude-- it has to do with the fact that I just have verbal diarrhea. ;)

EDIT: nice, I just picked up another vote after posting this. Let the irony role! We must judge each other over the internet or perish! :p

Your ego is too tiny. Your gf said so.

Besides, in all seriousness, I see this thread as simple flamebait based on PB's comments. In the hands of anyone with a sense of humor though I'd think otherwise. ;)

It was done for fun, and I thought you would win ;)

Hey but I thought I would be a close second :eek:

But alas GA wins hands down...

You really don't understand that it isn't usually a big ego that leads people to write/talk/create a lot, do you?

It very well can be.. If someone writes 3000-5000 posts. Someone might conclude that those people think that everyone wants to hear their opinion. Now is this some sort of rule, not by any means. My remark about the post count was simply a little friendly jab ;)

Actually it's usually just the opposite.

I suggest laying off armchair analysis until you've finished the course.

Hey but I thought I would be a close second :eek:

There are no close seconds in this sort of thing. You can only vote for the perceived biggest ego, so even if the perceived second-biggest ego is close, they still don't get many votes. If the difference is statistically significant, it gets hugely amplified.

What I was more expecting was like 55% for Texrat and 45% for PB

which would be a close second, with close to 1/2 the community think I have a big ego.

I understand what your saying, but I did not forsee the 64% GA with no close seconds...
