Alpha and Omega
Even in the 19 twinking world, all good things must come to an end. Following a particularly vicious bout of farming horde graveyard, Pizza was demoted from his Bracket Manager status on June the 19[SUP]th[/SUP] of the year of our lord 2012. Now, I do not speak for the staff of TI, but this is a good opportunity for the community to confer in regards to likely successors to Pizza’s throne. I have taken it upon myself to research ten respectable tinks that I feel would do well in this esteemed position, and now offer a brief, factual description of each to assist you in expressing who you think would be a good Bracket Manager. *this is not an actual vote, just a chance to express your individual interest as a member of the community*
Beau
Beau’s story is one of redemption, of expelling one’s demons. This young gentleman has a long history of being banned from TwinkInfo and 19s public vent, but those are things of the past. Beau has recently resurrected <Take Care>, graduated from high school, and most notably, become an official Blogger on TwinkInfo. Even though he already has much on his plate, he has shown his thirst for opportunity to be unquenchable. When considering Beau as someone you would like as Bracket Manager, please try to keep in mind what he is, not what he has been.Browntown
Brown has much experience as a leader, having held a prominent role in Lethal Synergy in its many incarnations. The one major hurdle to his becoming BM is that he apparently does not have an active TI account. He tends to post on Mass’s account, but Mass has been repeatedly banned for account sharing. If Brown were made Bracket Manager, it would necessitate Mass receiving the Bracket Manager rank, which leads us to all sorts of complications. I feel that this is a hurdle that can be overcome, so do not let it dissuade you from this most noble of men.Dasfizzla
Das lacks the leadership experience of a Browntown, but he is generally well-liked among the community and is at least fairly active on TI. Having these basic prerequisites down, we must acknowledge Dasfizzla’s guild tag. Being a member of Waw Tawent carries significant baggage, as Pizza found out. Das recently got his 100k honorable kill achievement, and the community’s reception was actually fairly positive. He was lauded for not farming graveyards as hard as Dorygoon. With community support and a respectably earned title, Das looks to have some potential.Discover
Discover is widely seen as being the spiritual leader of the alliance in the US 19s bracket. He has a couple of marks against him, though. For one, he likes to speed pot on occasion, which is frowned upon. Second, he does not always play respectably. On his old 19 hunter, he accidentally leveled as a result of farming helpless 600hp levelers in exp-on battlegrounds. This is not widely known, but is a mark against Discover. Even with these marks, he is still respected like a young Bill Gates, so is expected to be a favorite among the community.Ko
Ko is a dark horse candidate. He has slowly made his way through a bunch of feeder guilds like WPA, finally gaining the notoriety he deserves in Waw Tawent. Ko is also unique among WT members in that he has no reputation for farming graveyards. With Pizza freshly out of his leadership position as a result of farming the wrong graveyard, perhaps a WT tink with a sterling reputation can bridge the gap between Eliot, WT, and the 19s community as a whole.Mocha
Mocha is already an MVP, which can play both for and against him in regards to being promoted to a Bracket Manager. On the plus side, he has proven to be a productive poster on TI. On the minus side, taking on the dual roles of MVP and Bracket Manager may be too much responsibility for one individual to handle. Mocha enjoys having leadership positions, as evidenced by his attempted resurrection of a guild that died in 2008, so the one other concern here Is that he may be a bit power-hungry. Interest in Mocha must be carefully considered in advance.Phonebook
Phonebook has had a tumultuous history on TI. In times of yore, he managed the original 19 armories thread, doing a good job despite its major bloat. During the Great Euro Purge of February 2012, Phonebook and many other Euros were temporarily banned, and his armory thread was unstickied and replaced by Pizza’s new, more exclusive armory library. Since then, Phonebook has started to participate in TwinkInfo again, getting his groove back and being generally respectable. Following this virtual resurrection from the ranks of the banned, Phonebook now has a chance at redemption. Despite a strong presence on TI, the EU 19 bracket is not much represented in leadership roles, but the Old World now has its chance.Restosexual
Resto is definitely an unknown among many members of TwinkInfo, but is known for his colorful language in-game. Indeed, he is an inspiration to many another young tink on the rolling plains of Warsong Gulch. With his indomitable desire to win WSG, it is a logical next step for him to strive to win the hearts and minds of TwinkInfo’s posters and become the new Bracket Manager. Unfortunately, Resto is only 11 years old, but he brings a youthful energy that has never been seen around here.Saxxon
Sax, the winner of the Top Twink poll series, has been tabbed as the early favorite to win the proletariat’s favor as the next Bracket Manager of the 19 bracket. Long viewed as nothing more than a trumped-up forum troll, Sax nonetheless won the favor of both the US and EU as we have made our way through the Cataclysm years. More recently, he has changed his ways, toning down the trolling and becoming a leader in the community. As the successful leader of a rejuvenated <masta ballerz>, Sax has shown he can handle leadership positions.Sneaky
Sneaky is like the poster child of Lethal Synergy. As Browntown’s right hand man, he switches his hunter between BM and Survival to push his guild to its limits. Holding down this leadership position, and being a constant inspiration to the forces of the alliance, Sneaky is a natural pick for Bracket Manager. He goes hard in every game, whether it be faceroll, competitive, or hopeless in nature, never giving up until the battleground ends. With this positive outlook toward the gulch and life in general, Sneaky may make a good Bracket Manager.
