Let the voting begin and may The Most Influencial Poet win.
No foolin'
Looks like Bulltlr, Tzara, greenmountaineer and chipbutty are sure to be official nominees. There were six nominees last year, so I'm guessing there will be six this year. I'm thinking you may be one of the remaining two. Good luck to all, whomever they may be.

the fools, the fools...
I want my name removed...
I have no business amongst the likes of tzara, greenmountaineer, chipbutty or any other real poet here! My friends nominated me because they like and accept my brash, cliche, all ready been done FUCK me against the wall rambles...
Who do you think I can contact to have my name removed?

If you really want, you can contact the site manager, but I wouldn't worry about it. I believe you weren't gaming the system, this is what twice, three times you came on to say this.
It just happened to look bad, because it was done before, except in that case new registrants would rave about the nominee, I think your bud's just nominated you, and embarrassed you.
So you get your name up...
I think you've shown remarkable good faith since then.

Hi
The award for most influential poet is just that. An award for the poet, not their poetry. It is not a contest that decides who is the best poet, only the one who has been most influential in one way or another.
I think you should follow your heart, but do not ask to be be removed for the wrong reason. There is no comparison between the other poets' work and yours; your fans and friends nominated you because you have influenced them, you will not be taking anything away from anyone else's work by remaining in the voting.
Smile and be thankful that people have noticed you and just realize that by staying in the contest, you can touch people's hearts with your words. That is an awesome feat, you know.
smile, and I just want to say, your humility is refreshing for this site. There are so many egomaniacs it hurts to even read the posts sometimes.
good luck sweetie

Your modesty is admirable, but I doubt there is anything you can do to absent yourself from the list of likely official nominees, nor should you feel you should do so, in my opinion, even if you could. As has been noted, the award is not for best poet, it's for most influential poet, and you apparently qualify quite well for the honor if your friends cared enough about you and your poetry to put your name forward the way they have.
Relax and take it as a compliment. If you win, nobody with good sense will hold it against you.

i'd like to add my own sentiments to those already expressed, bulltlr. no reason at all to request your name be removed from this - our only input to these awards as individuals is in our nominating of, and voting for, others ... whatever happens after the fact happens. chill and enjoy the ride, ok?

I agreed with what has been said here before. You have shown good faith and humility since you've been posting. You contribute which is a valuable thing.

i think it's the 15th that the voting begins. it's over on the MIP thread in the awards and contests forum.
Looks like they've postponed the announcement of nominees and the starting date for voting.

Now look here this crown is hanging perilously round one ankle (vying with my halo) and if I polish it any more it'll go to holes, so will somebody please lay claim

Oh yeah...but, even if I'm wrong, it would certainly be worth the experience.

Maybe you should wear sensible shoes instead. And some other attire. Instead of painting yourself blue as a druid and walking around with clangy things.
Oh, Rue Britannia.
I don't mean to be heir splitting, but maybe Lit. made it hereditary. So you get to keep it till the once and future king comes back.
