We're nearing the end of the first round...finally. Match 11 is between the Forumers of Light and LEMon Party: Live on CAMera!
The Forumers of Light are the duo of Rycona and UsaSatsui. They enjoy going to the movies, picnics, walks on the beach, and ROMhacks.
LEMon Party: Live on CAMera! is comprised of Cameron and LowEndLem. They sent in a promo!
"Fellow Sydlexia forumers! Lend us your ears! Now, before you go voting for UsaSatsui and Rycona with reckless (not to mention thoughtless) abandon, consider this: UsaSatsui and Rycona may be tech-savvy enough with their emulators to create a parody of an otherwise untarnished childhood staple for your entertainment, but have they truly sacrificed themselves to net your votes? We think not. We, Lem and Cam, have sacrificed our health, our sanity, our dignity, for your enjoyment! To put the situation into perspective, what would you rather see at a circus, a lion tamer whipping a lion, or the lion tamer jumping towards the lion's mouth, causing a bloodbath that sends the crowd into a thunderous roar of excitement? Speaking of bad analogies and quite possibly the worst segue ever, vote for LEMon Party: Live on CAMERA!"
I would suggest waiting to see what the teams come up with to vote, but I know most of you will ignore me anyway. This poll ends exactly 72 hours from when I put it up. That means polling ends at precisely 10:09 ET on July 22nd.
Sydlexians! Lend me your ears! Now, before you even briefly consider voting for Usa and Rycona's team, consider THIS: Lem and I have sacrificed ourselves for the entertainment of this forum!
Lemmy has drank Satan's urine! For your votes, he hath consumed lemon juice & A1 Steak Sauce!
I, Cameron, have consumed a fruit straight from Satan's garden! None other than an entire lemon! The video is split up into four parts, the first split resulting from an unpredictably unpleasant taste, the second and third splits resulting from my stomach and taste buds not agreeing with my willpower and yeah I barfed.
Alert: Turn your volume down for the first video, it's REALLY loud. However, for the most part, the sound is okay for the second, third, and fourth videos.
Please, sydlexians. Vote for us. We ate some seriously sick crap.

Damn, Cam! From just the expressions you're making in the screenshots, your video looks like a hostage tape. Poor guy.
Ry and I are still working on the next part of the hack.
Until then, we decided to take the battle to their turf.(possibly NSFW image of Lem being raped by a rabbit)
Oh, real cute, Usa. Unfortunately, this pic is somewhat inaccurate, as Lem has yet to resort to bestiality to satisfy his lemony lust. I do believe that's your scene? Considering you have such a, erm, fascination with bunnies?

The bunny there isn't fucking, it's attacking.
Folks, ask yourself, do you really want to cast your vote for a pervert who sees sex everywhere?
I was gonna wait for this to play out, but the massive frontage of gross eating vids won it over for the ADD crowd
It's not illegal, it might give you some cavities

Hey, I'm just calling it like I see it. You can't deny your, ahem, unhealthy obsession.

Says the guy with naked asses in his sig.
People, there's a few ways you can think of this, and decide where you want to put your vote.
If you want to go with effort...Rycona and I are making an entire freaking rom hack here. It takes a lot of time and effort to do this. Even that silly little picture up there took about a half hour of work to get it to look right, and I half-assed it. Filming yourself eating disgusting things takes 10 minutes and a webcam. It's clear who is putting the effort in.
If you want to go with service to the forum, there's no question. Rycona and I have been stalwart ops in the chat room since close to the beginning, Rycona's service was exemplary enough to get him appointed as a moderator. Rycona does various interesting projects such as UseBombs, and he answered the question of what's behind the door in SMB2, not to mention his hard work on the rom hack we're making for you guys. I spend my free time around here running contests, such as the NFL deadpool and the various forum tournaments...including this one. What, exactly, have Cam and Lem done for the good of the site?
Now, if you want to go with willingness to publicly humiliate yourself, you're just gonna have to vote for Cam and Lem. Sorry, but we have dignity on this side.
Cam and Lem ingested things that shouldn't be ingested for your sins.

Rycona wanted to be petty and vote against us because I mentioned Hendrix so I'll be petty too and base my vote on that.

Forumers Of Light get my vote. There's a fine line between a labor of love and outright whoring. Cam and Lem? They crossed it and stopped a hundred meters later.

Sorry, Usa, but not only are our asses censored, but did you really think eating that lemon or drinking that...uh, beverage, didn't take effort? Why don't you try doing it yourself? Believe me, it was all we could do to keep it in our stomachs. Also, if you count the off-camera vomiting, it took me a good half-hour to eat that lemon.
I see you use your mod status as a reason to garner votes, but can one simply choose to be a mod? Do I have the means to become a mod, or 98% of any of the other forumers? Saying that we should vote for you because you're a mod and you've done great things to achieve it is like saying that everyone on the forum who isn't a mod isn't good enough for votes.
If we're talking about the good of the site, well, me and Lem have certainly done our fair share of making the newbies feel welcome. Which, I know a lot of you guys want to make sure the "old-school" forumers win (which, technically, I've been here even longer than Usa, so that point is moot), but do you guys honestly want to be known as a forum that simply shuns outsiders? I think not.
And you say we don't have dignity? We have the dignity obtained through overcoming obstacles. Eating something like a lemon or steak sauce & lemon juice causes the consumer in question to "hit a mental wall", if you will. It was seriously hard for both of us to get all the way through the foodstuffs we chose, so the effort and self-satisfaction is definitely present in our decisions.
Now, forumers, I must ask you: who do you want to influence the future of your most beloved forum? Two all-around benevolent dudes who want to make sure you have a good time, or someone who has a closet case of xenophobia?

I guess I take back what I said before, but I can't do the same for my vote.

Okay, I'm calling bullshit on that one there. I'd like to know what, exactly, myself or Rycona have done to attempt to drive away new people, or what exactly you and Lem have done to welcome them.
Except for getting rid of obvious trolls, I have never done anything to make a new person to these forums or the chat feel unwelcome, except for some jokes about hazing. And on top of that, everyone in the chat gets a fair shake from me, regardless of they've been in trouble in the past. If you need help, I'm always willing. And while I can't speak for Rycona, I'm pretty sure he feels the same way.
Maybe you think I'm taking this too seriously or something. But I take my openness to new people very seriously. I'm not gonna sit by and say "hah, hah, forum trash talk" on shit that's just plain not true.
Usa, I'm not making a personal attack against you, I'm merely defending the honor of Lem and me in response to your attempts at dismantling it. Let's try to have a good time over the next three days and hug it out, bitch.

Gonna go with the fellow bass player and vote for Lem, although I really, really like all the effort that Rycona and Usa are putting into the ROM hack. As a side note, Lem, has anyone ever told you that you look a lot like the Distressed Watcher/Amazing Atheist? (I don't even like the guy, but the resemblance is uncanny).
He drank it with water, and eating a lemon isn't that big of a deal, I'm going with Bunny and Rycona.

Also, I needed the water because the skin wouldn't go down my throat without it.

Gentlemen, if I may
This was a school project I did a few years ago. I went full dedication, spent 3 days writing a script, setting up sets, and deciding what would happen with the cops and suspect scene. That was for a small project. I plan to put the same dedication into this.

I'll try and eat a lemon next time I'm near one and report back to this thread, I could have sworn I've had a piece before and didn't seem to mind.

Blackout: You'll note I didn't TOUCH the water at all in my vid. I instead chased it with chocolate syrup, which was not recorded because my friend is a dickbitch.
