Title: Onion rings, anyone?
Post by Zwiebel on 05/17/10 at 08:55:47

So this is my campaign, I guess.

For those who don't know me:

I joined the kart site in 2006, playing MKDS and lurking around the board. But in summer '07 I decided to stop Mario Kart and play WoW. I regret this decision... fortunately, the kart gods appeared to me in November '09. Since then I'm active again, playing all kart games recently.

So, why should you vote for me?

I am in a tough group, so I need every vote I can get. I really want to reach some more rounds or even take the crown. So I have to offer you something nice.

I already have some ideas about that. Some of you may have seen, that my name is Zwiebel. Zwiebel is the german word for Onion. If I reach the semi-finals, I could make a vid of me eating an onion. Without drinking anything. Waa. That would be fun to watch probably. Or Onion rings... I'm hungry now.

Other than that, I'm not that bad in MKDS, since I am ranked #3 currently. I guess I could do something MK related, but I don't want to steal other ideas. So I will think about anything nice regarding my MK skills. If you have any ideas for me, don't be shy to suggest them :D

I will make a pic of me and an onion next days. This will only be the beginning.

I'll keep this up to date and add new ideas, which might come to my mind...

One idea which just plopped into my mind is that I will compose a song for the MK MB, and play it on the piano. I'm not too god at playing yet, but I guess I could give it a try at least. So vote for me if you want a song representing the Mario Kart Community :D

ONION POWER!

Out of all the campaigns so far, you filming yourself eating raw onions is my favourite.

Lol, my uncle eats raw onions... I tried before but I felt all gassy after it. Why do you have an obsession with onions, may I ask?

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?

Well, I wouldn't call myself "obsessed" to onions. I like them, because they look quite funny and I like eating them(haven't tried them raw yet, lolz). And I am always confronted with onions because the very first username I chose was Zwiebel. It kinda sticked to me. So I came to the idea of this campaign. Why not make use of my username? ;D

if you eat a raw onion i'll vote for you 100%, i once tried to do it, threw up about ten times and have never actually been able to properly eat onions since (that was over 5 years ago).

You've just got my vote!

^Thanks for your vote, I will not disappoint you :P

~Updated first post with a new idea~

Zwiebel, me and you are in the same group so if we have a competition to see who can eat an onion fastest? Iirc, GWR competition says the onion has to be 210g. It's just a suggestion, if it is kind of stealing your idea in your opinion I will back off!

I didn't want to do the Onion eating in first round, that is far too early. I will have to be voted to do that. But we could have a competition in the laterz round if you want to [smiley=lolk.gif]

Ya, that would be cool. Lets hope we both make it through!

Do the cinnamon challenge imo.

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?
Post by The Gaff on 05/17/10 at 11:41:51

thats not good, you changed your post so that the oonion is if you make the semi final.

I think thats a mistake..

never assume you'll get through. I'd urge your competetors or anyone else for that matter to do it round one. Then you'll have nothing to do in the semi and you'll be knocked out :(

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?
Post by Zwiebel on 05/17/10 at 11:46:38

I didn't modify my post in that way, I wrote in the beginning that I would make that in the semi-finals. But if you all want me to do it in round one, I could probably do that as well. In the semi finals I will eat 2 of them ;D

Dont listen to Tom, Zwiebel. If you follow his campaign techniques, you will just lose to Moly in a future round.

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?
Post by The Gaff on 05/17/10 at 11:51:31

do it round one to secure my vote.

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?
Post by thewebinator on 05/17/10 at 13:06:17

If you eat the onion first round, you'll get my vote 100%. Otherwise I might choose someone else, if you're not going to do anything interesting for the round.

Why would he eat an onion to get through a round he's a near lock to pass anyway? Isn't he top 5 in a kart game AND active? Not many people are both.

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?

he runs ths risk of the other guys in the group beating him with their campaigns.

I'd love to see you eat a whole raw onion this round. You better, otherwise my vote stays with Harvey.

Title: Re: Onion rings, anyone?
Post by Zwiebel on 05/18/10 at 04:39:36

^Harvey? He isn't even in my group [smiley=lolk.gif]

And I have not decided yet if I'm going to do the onion eating in round 1. I will tell you in the next few days.

^Ah...

Thus further proving my lack of contest knowledge...

In support of this....

The whole contest isn't about being the best at kart. If you're in the contest, obviously you're well known to be voted in for it.
