People are apparently interested in a 2013 edition of Battle of the Members, so I'll give running one a crack.

So, by the standard BOTM methodology I've taken the top 120 posters in CW history (first 4 pages of the members list), culled the ones who haven't posted in around a year and come out with 85 entrants (normal abstainers removed) so far.

For a 128-person bracket, that leaves 43 spots for nominations. These have now been filled

If anybody who has participated in previous years no longer wishes to do so, please let me know via a VM. Same goes for newer posters who don't want in.

And finally, same rules as every year apply - no inflammatory comments or abuse regarding other posters.

I should think we'll need a list of who you've got so far before we can nominate someone to be added to the list

Must have missed him when I went through checking. I seem to recall him posting more recently than that. Senile at 18, great.

Removed from the list.

Shri another one.

Oh and I ****ed up. Sent a blank nomination list and now it won't let me send another.

Would like to nominate Jager and the dan himself (rvd619323) along with that indian supporter who's name I can't recall atm. Think it has bangalore in it. LongHopCassidy too, for the gun writeups in BotI.

A few people like Top_Cat and grecian tend to withdraw - maybe vm them and as if they're doing the same this year.

Edit also what cribb said

Yeah, I send VMs but seem to have copied the wrong list.

Doing this at 1am maybe not the best bet, in hindsight.
