Fantastic entries this year!

 

Should Lush/Lushness and the two eye contact ones be combined when final tally is made?

Fantastic entries this year!

 

Should Lush/Lushness and the two eye contact ones be combined when final tally is made?

 

I thought about it, but I think that, given how the phrasing has always been a key part of IDM contenders, it's best to treat each unique phrase as a unique entry.

 

If I suspected that similar entries were made for the purpose of undervaluing a contender, then I'd call foul play, and figure out some way to make up for that. However, Lush and Lushness are totally distinct topics (clearly). Also, one of the eye topics was a rephrasing of the other, so I'm considering that an unforced error.

I hope Ulillillia wins this year! If for no other reason than since I could tell him via a comment on one of his Platform Masters YouTube video updates and he would respond (immediately) with something like "parsing error: undefined command."

The Stoya one should be changed to "Autechre making a conversation about having sex with Stoya stop by playing an unreleased version of Bike"

 

 

It's shorter and sounds more clear and better that way. It's also a thing that really happened.

*does jumping jacks while wearing a belly button piercing and watching Tron Uprising*

 

 

according to the votes, that's the least IDM thing one could do

 

Of the suggested most IDM topics. I think there was a least IDM competition a while back, and the winner was Nascar, which was pretty awesome.

 

The Stoya one should be changed to "Autechre making a conversation about having sex with Stoya stop by playing an unreleased version of Bike"

 

 

It's shorter and sounds more clear and better that way. It's also a thing that really happened.

 

I try to balance correcting/interpreting suggestions with preserving the original phrasing. The original phrasing is usually an important part of the topic, and lots of the suggested topics have a nice ring to them. When possible, I try to keep that. I'll only change the phrasing if there was a spelling error or other error that is not important to the ring of the topic, or if someone just posts a picture and says "THIS".

i am on a hoverboard desperately trying to outrun the police in 2042 and i'm being blown. I have a haptic feedback device attached to my penis. The buildings tower above me from either side of the narrow street as i race along maybe 4ft off the ground. There are many snipers in the windows watching me being blown on my hoverboard. In the distance i see a huge 60ft android destroying buildings. I understand that there are many souls perishing in those god forsaken structures. I race onwards at tremendous speed towards the carnage ahead still receiving a deep satisfying blow job. The android looms over me on my hoverboard and i press up down left right to access my assault menu as both myself and blowjob girl are punched off the hoverboard. We smash into the side of a building and are killed instantly.

Ah shit, I don't think anyone nominated this.

Man, the Slime Mold fans were so passionate last year. It looks as if its following has dwindled this year :sad:

 

Here's a huge one in someone's bathroom.

And here's an oldy but goody of a slime mold replicating the Tokyo Rail-way system.

 

Here's a channel devoted to Slime Mold videos.

Because that's business as usual here at WATMM? At least, I can not remember doing something else around here. It's like oxygen, to me. I can only speak for myself though. And what my personal experience is of what it is like to work day in day out at WATMM corp.

factories at night

 

etc

 

Dammit. I forgot to nominate hats that don't make you look like a cowboy.

 

When does that phase end ?

 

Scheduled to end on the 15th. I'm keeping track of the number of votes, and I may accelerate the process again.

 

what is 100% peanut allergy birth rate

 

I interpret it as 100% of the population being born allergic to peanuts, as a hypothetical situation.
