Link.  Sentence or Three.<\/em>  That&#8217;s it.  No link makes me have to go looking.<br \/>\nAlso, make sure that the link is either THIS YEAR, or somehow the person again did something THIS YEAR.<\/p>\n<p>Also, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?page_id=30655\">if you go to this link<\/a>, you can start at the top and go down, pick someone.  But again, must be in 2014 (or December of 2013).<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My intent was to go through every Stolen Valor Link we had for the entire 2014.\u00a0 (Actually also including December of 2013 if there were any notables.)\u00a0 I made it to February, and I had over 100 names.<\/p>\n<p>Clearly that isn&#8217;t going to work.\u00a0 It&#8217;s just too much for one guy to do.\u00a0 So I am going to option B.\u00a0 You guys nominate folks, then I will cut it down to 64, and then I will seed them.\u00a0 Then we can play it out and see who wins the coveted Blue Falcon for Falconry above and beyond all other asshats.<\/p>\n<p>So here is how it works.\u00a0 Write the name.\u00a0 Put in the link.\u00a0 In no more than 3 sentences, argue what he\/she did that merits inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>And for the love of God, read the comments first to see if that person has already been nominated.\u00a0 If you agree with a previous nomination, you may &#8220;reply&#8221; to that one and add something.\u00a0 In fact, I encourage you to do so, so I can judge seeding.  Again, keep it short.\u00a0 I just need to get a list, and then will go through it.\u00a0 The intent is to start the tournament next week.<\/p>\n<p>So again, nominate someone.\u00a0 Here would be an example, and will be mine.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>TSO nominates Gregory Charles Banks.\u00a0 \u00a0https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=39262\u00a0 Banks is the chap that went from Mason lodge to Mason lodge claiming he was a Special Forces Afghanistan veteran.\u00a0 The NPRC has no record of any service.\u00a0 He&#8217;s threatened legal action, and is even using his mom to defend him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>That&#8217;s it.\u00a0 Name.\u00a0 Url\/Link.\u00a0 Short bio just so I will remember who you are talking about.<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, keep it short.<\/p>\n<p>Now, go.\u00a0 You have until Friday to get nominations in.\u00a0 I suspect we will go over the 64.\u00a0 I will be editing comments occasionally just to add numbers to the nomination.\u00a0 This does not mean the person is in.\u00a0 It is simply a mechanism to see where we are.<\/p>\n<p>DO NOT LEAVE COMMENTS THAT ARE NOT NOMINATIONS.\u00a0 If you do, I will likely delete it, because honestly, this thing is confusing enough already, and takes a TON of work on the back end to set up.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note: We&#8217;ve finished with the process. Thanks to everyone who helped out. The seeding is compete and it will be announced in the next few days.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UPDATE: Guys, you are killing me. Name. Link. Sentence or Three.
