The most loved person on CF
By riela, history, 6 years ago, In English

Mwa ha ha ha ha I'm the mad sports programmer (sp) Hououin Riela! The organization sent Mr weak mind to nominate me as the most annoying person of cf, I have to counter attack.

There are many kind people in cf, some of them write nice posts about algorithms, others helps preparing training camps, others invent cool problems and prepare contests for us, ...

I want to make a vote for the most loved person on CF in 2018.

If you want to nominate a candidate, but feel ashamed, you can PM me their handle(s), then I will write a comment to vote.

I know that I'm an obvious candidate, especially after fighting the organization and writing useful content in cf.

Note that this is the antipost of Um_nik's post so to vote for a given person you should upvote the comment with this person's handle.

Congrats to the winners!

  1. rng_58 +187

  2. Errichto +176

  3. hmehta +162

  4. Um_nik +127

  5. MikeMirzayanov +116

  6. misof +82

  7. Petr +81

  8. adamant +77

  9. SerezhaE +70

  10. SoMuchDrama +64

    I can't understand how MikeMirzayanov can be in both most loved and most annoying person list... Pretty strange!

    Feel the power of Mike!!!

    Radewoosh, we should make a movie about the true face of Errichto. I see this trailer already...

    *a carousel of Kamil's photos, narrator: *

    beloved and respectable by thousands, a great problemsetter and streamer, always ready to help, a person worth your trust...

    *the music fades and the screen turns black *

    or is he?

    *a thunder and a picture of plebbichto flashes on the screen... *

      Not to insult Um_nik or anything, but I don't think what you said is true, unless you meant that misof have a weak mind? source

        I think everyone agrees that besides being way too direct in expressing his thoughts, Um_nik had a few valid points to make in that discussion.

          I don't disagree, what I disagree with is that you are implying that misof have weak mind. Though, I guess you are just joking, and I failed to see that in your comment before.

    I really respect that Um_nik doesn't care what others think. He's just genuine and brave enough to speak his mind. And that's not ironic — that's a really unusual and discerning personal feature.

        How is this connected with misof? First, I was not talking about people you nominated, most of them are really among the best people in community (not you, obviously), I was talking about your actions. Second, misof wasn't among your last two comments, so you even had to juggle with facts to make you look not stupid. It won't work.

          My actions? so you think Its wrong to nominate the people that I found interesting and loved by the community?

          When I nominated more people, the post had -30 votes, even adding comments to it doesn't show it in the recent actions list (it was hidden by too negative downvotes)

          PS. Wondering if you will ask me to stop writing blogs :)

              no, I write this posts because its fun. But is a bit ironic because I decided to write them in a style that is a mix between Um_nik and Xellos (my two favorite shitposters)

            Well, it is kinda not ok to nominate 10 people by yourself because no one is interested but whatever. What is really stupid is to do it 1-2 people each day and not all at once.

            Of course you should stop writing blogs, all of them are stupid. But you know it, right?

              I know they are not scientific stuff, I'm just having fun, I want to be a great shitposter like you and Xellos.

Big respect to all mentioned names, they are fantastic programmers. But are you real, still there is only one man at the top and nobody mentioned him:

tourist

I won't say who mentioned him, we are not for same sentence.

Wow, it is the thread for me.

agural, nominated by I_love_Albert_Gural

Wise men have long debated if it is the sun or the moon who is truly stronger, but those who are enlightened know that Albert Gural is stronger than the both of them. Albert, I wish you to keep shining and showing the way. And I wish you not to lose the fire in eyes, when you meet an interesting problem.

Best wishes from your greatest admirer.
