Other Character Email Tampo/Best And Worst

From Homestar Runner Fanstuff Wiki

"Everyone loves The Tampo Emails. They are a terrific OCE! One day, their creator, Joshua, asked them to enter the Best and Worst Tampo Email Contest. The Tampo Emails agreed, and they waited for days and days to have users vote."

So anyway, here is where you, the average (or above average) user, gets to vote on what you think is the best, second best, third best, and worst Tampo Email! What an honor! :P Oh, and by worst, I don't nessecarily mean bad, I just mean, not exactly as good as the awesomeness that is Tampo Email in general! Okay, I'll stop joking around and...
"GET TO THA POINT!"

Result Graph

This is a graph of the best and worst Tampo Emails based on public opinion. (Joshua's votes count too.) Every email gains 3 MeritPoints for each first place, 2 for second and 1 for third. Bad emails lose 1 MeritPoint for each "Worst" vote.

Note that emails after #35 (chabarg) didn't exist at the time most of these fans made their lists, and therefore tend to not be listed here by no fault of their own.

Example

Alright, so pretty much anybody can vote. Here are my votes for an example:

Joshua

Best Email: "revolution" - Months of planning, preparation and plot-building led to this monster email's creation. It's as long as a small novel... a very small novel... a fan fiction, at least. Which is still very long. And I think it turned out great and did its job well. It's sort of slow in the beginning... but you gotta have plot.
2^nd Best Email: "virus" - This email is not only super long, but it has humor, action and a good plot! It was fun to write and I really liked how it all turned out.
3^rd Best Email: "attacked" - This one I think turned out very well. I liked how I introduced NEB-1, and I think how it continued into the 1-Up part was great. I don't know about you guys, but this is one of my favorites.
Worst Email: "construction" - The problem with this email is that it was originally going to be merged with "lazor beams," and all the truly funny parts were at the end. When it split, this email lost the humor that the second half kept.

Format

Here's the code for you to use. Just replace the capitalized parts with your choices:

===[[User:YOURSELF|YOURSELF]]===
'''Best Email:''' "[[Other Character Email Tampo/EMAIL|EMAIL]]" - <small>DESCRIPTION</small><br />
'''2<sup>nd</sup> Best Email:''' "[[Other Character Email Tampo/EMAIL|EMAIL]]" - <small>DESCRIPTION</small><br />
'''3<sup>rd</sup> Best Email:''' "[[Other Character Email Tampo/EMAIL|EMAIL]]" - <small>DESCRIPTION</small><br />
'''Worst Email:''' "[[Other Character Email Tampo/EMAIL|EMAIL]]" - <small>DESCRIPTION</small>

Rules

Here are some rules and regulations:

• Don't worry if you make a few mistakes in grammar/spelling/format. Joshua will fix those for you.
• Only the "Best Email" section is needed. The other votes and the descriptions are not nessecary.
• You need to have read at least 10 Tampo Emails to vote.
• You can change your votes at any time you like.
• Only one email per category. If you can't decide, flip a coin or something.
• Tampo Emails only. No "Not Quite Emails" or "Tampo Comics."
• Post your list at the bottom. The earlier you post, the higher up your name is. That's just the way it is.
• BE HONEST!!!

Post 'em Here!

Don't be shy!

Shim-Sham-Sam

Best Email: "attacked" - This is not just because I sent it. This email was pretty cool with the battle between the good guys and NEB-1 and his forces. The email was great enough, but what makes it better is 1-Up being captured, starting a storyline (one started by me, I guess).
2^nd Best Email: "apocalypse" - First, this email goes like how you would expect it, with Tampo, Brody, and Stlunko doing what their email sender wants them to do, which is in this case, kill Strong Bad. But then there's the whole destroying the universe and the end of everything Homestar Runner related, which is just a facade as there's a surprise. There's also a serious fourth wall breakage, but this is a cool email.
3^rd Best Email: "virus" - This is the longest Tampo email and the second OCE Tampo special. And since this is virus, you'd expect the regular plot with the destruction of the computer, but that's not how it goes. Instead, Trevor, Tampo's 2005 form, has to save the day, which is pretty unique.
Worst Email: "construction" - Nothing interesting really happens. We just delve into Tampo's mind when it comes to whose body he wants. Of course, the nothing interesting happening is because of the fact that Joshua was planning to make this and lazor beams into one email.

Super Sam

Best Email: "experiment" - It involved going back into 2005, and featured another apperance of Trevor and Booty. The e-mail stuck on subject, while still taking into account the plot line. Plus, it had Imitation Strong Bad E-mail references.
2^nd Best Email: "bomb squad" - Everybody loves interactivity.
3^rd Best Email: No 3rd best email for you.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - It was just boring. Nothing much really happened. I pretty much disliked the whole moving storyline.

Ekul

Best Email: "attacked" - It ended an annoying type if email (Asking about Nebulon) and started a new plot!
2^nd Best Email: "apocalypse" - This one showed the impossiblitiy of Strong Bad's death and the reason Homsar saved the universe!
3^rd Best Email: "future" - This email was a classic. IT portrayed the future, then changed it with the butterfly effect!.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - Girlfriend + Tampo = Bad idea.

Lunar Jesters

Best Email: "training" - An underrated email, this has everything. Zyves, 1-Up, one of my best laughs involving Tampo emails.
2^nd Best Email: "attacked" - Despite popular belief, not what inspired me to write Nebulon emails, but this email was jam-packed of great action.
3^rd Best Email: "marbles" - Everything here is great. The plot is what truly excells, though.
Worst Email: "kids' show" - Just ripped off Strong Bad, and the idea has been done to death.

PrincessHomestar

Best Email: "revolution" - Amazing plot + second-longest page + like 5 emails = A+!
2^nd Best Email: "apocalypse" - I love the logic.
3^rd Best Email: "master" - I enjoyed finding out who the Master was!
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - I sent the email... but I regret it. Still, tough choice.

Conchris

Best Email: "revolution" - I liked the plot, also I liked the Miss Jibney part.
2^nd Best Email: "marbles" - Funny and cool. Enough Said.
3^rd Best Email: "robot body" - I enjoyed this very much, I liked the Easter Egg
Worst Email: "kids' show" - This idea was done to it's grave, I think...

1-Up Cheatachu

Best Email "training" - This one just appeals to me. Not sure why.
2^nd Best Email: "apocalypse" - Huge fourth wall break'd!
3^rd Best Email: "master" - The bosses have an instruction video? Hehe.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - It just wasn't funny.

Lord of the Frogs

Best Email "future" - I really thought it was cool the way Tampo Brody and Stlunko went to the future and then their future selves changed the past, and then changed their future... I just find that whole paradox of time thing interesting.
2^nd Best Email: "marbles" - Just a really cool idea. I really like the past incarnations of the Boss trio a lot ('Specially Booty!), and I also liked the idea of Homsar in control of the Four Elements. I just thought it was super-creative.
3^rd Best Email: "virus" - I know that there are like, a million virus e-mails out there, but this one had a good plot, it wasn't just random glitchyness like some of the other ones I've read, and some of the glitchy stuff was pretty funny.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - This one was just kind of... meh. Unlike a lot of people, apparently, I liked the kid's show email, I thought it was funny, but I agree with the people that didn't like this one; nothing really super-interesting happened, and nothing was really super-funny.

Trogga

Best Email: "revolution" - Truly a revolution for both Tampo Emails and fanstuff.
2^nd Best Email: "future" - This email most likey made me a fan of Tampo Emails. The email itself is fantastic.
3^rd Best Email: "inspection" - We finally get to see the Master in person...and see him take away all of Tampo's MeritPoints.
Worst Email: "robot body" - Not a bad start, but the email just feels too middle of the road.

Color Printer

Best Email: "kids' show" - Heh. The Tampo's Fun Hour thing just cracked me up.
2^nd Best Email: "revolution" - Best. Plot. EVER.
3^rd Best Email: "chickens" - This one was incredibly funny. I thought that they meant "a place where chickens were made" by "chicken factory", too.
Worst Email: "robot body" - Short. Possibly too short, and kinda boring.

Chwoka

Best Email: "poorbt-mail" - Ah, retro. I love you so.
2^nd Best Email: "robot body" - I'm a big oldies fan.
3^rd Best Email: "lazor beams"
Worst Email: "revolution" - I hated this email. Absolutely HATED it.

Aussie Evil

Best Email: "revolution" - This is what accelerated the Fanstuff Wiki.
2^nd Best Email: "marbles" - Pshoo...
3^rd Best Email: "kids' show" - Dora the Explorer + Whaddaya Know, Haddiman? + Tampo, et al. = TOTAL CARNAGE
Worst Email: "lazor beams" - Bleargh. Who wants a HR vs TMBG song in a futuristic place? I don't.

Super Sonic X

Best Email: "apocalypse" - There was something about this email that really made it stick out.
2^nd Best Email: "revolution" - There was obviously tons of effort put into this.
3^rd Best Emails: "dark side" - I don't know if you can nominate two, but these emails were great.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - Pretty boring.

C.Olimar788

Best Email: "apocalypse" - Man, this E-Mail cracked me UP! I was laughing my head off! I love this E-Mail! I could only imagine it as Flash.
2^nd Best Email: "virus" - Nothin' like a good ol' Virus E-Mail. Totally.
3^rd Best Email: "marbles" - I especially loved the Present-Day Liekand part!
Worst Email: "robot body" - I can't seem to get myself to read it again. Its boring, is what I'm saying. Although, you can expect that for a first E-Mail.

Thatkidsam

Best Email: "apocalypse" - I liked the logic.
2^nd Best Email: "saargtsson" - Nice plot.
3^rd Best Email: "future" - I liked how the 30X2 selves are too important to be mentioned.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - It really isn't a bad email, it's just that it seems more like an OCE than a Tampo OCE.

Raynor

Best Email: "revolution" - This is just a great email. And the longest page currently on the wiki.
2^nd Best Email: "future" - This is also a good email. And the paradox thing is interesting.
3^rd Best Email: "training" - This email just cracked me up. For real.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - This was a good email, but it just isn't that funny.

Strongsad

Best Email: "revolution" - Seriously one of the best emails on the wiki. Long, too.
2^nd Best Email: "future" - This email speaks for itself.
3^rd Best Email: "virus" - Loved this email! I liked the Homestar Jr's.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - Boring. Half of it is dialogue.

TotalSpaceshipGuy3

Best Email: "revolution" - This is teh 1337 email! Over 800 lines of Tampo Groodness!
2^nd Best Email: "apocalypse" - Also a Great Email. I liked [SPOILER!!!]When the world (not really) blew up.[END SPOILER!!!]
3^rd Best Email: "future" - Very Good Email.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - Sorry to say, but this email sucked.

Stinkoman K

Best Email: "revolution" - What can I say? 800 lines of climactic challenge and fighting!
2^nd Best Email: "marbles" - Homsar? A universal ruler?! Weird...
3^rd Best Email: "2005" - I think Tampo making a different form of himself is awesome. And Trevor turned out good.
Worst Email: "robot body" - Pretty boring, and short.

Markie&BurnBox

Best Email: "revolution" - Probably because you put a lotsa efforteses into it. Pretty suave if you ask me.
2^nd Best Email: "revenge" - It was a tie between this, poorbt-mail and a-digga-digga-digga apocalypse. But this was pretty quirky and whimsical. The boss trio was one step ahead of the Overseer on this one. IS STINKOMAN BEENS ASKING FOR CHALLENGE??????!111111
3^nd Best Email: "kids' show" - The crude kids' show parody is overused, but this one probably shines like a record. Loved the "1-UP IS SNITCHING LOL!!!" part. And the overexplanations with Stlunko.
Worst Email: "robot body" - Um, I liked this email as well, and I've read this out loud, but this is your first, and sometimes first impressions do not go so well. This is one of them. Good day, sir.

Count X

Best Email: "captured" - Prooty awexome. Included Gunhaver. Crossover with "Paradox" sealed the deal.
2^nd Best Email: "inspection" - Poor Tampo, Brody and Stlunko. The Hilarity was the lying.
3^nd Best Email: "kids' show" - I loved the "1-UP IS SNITCHING LOL!!!" part. The name made me not read it. Nearly.
Worst Email: "bozar" - Sorry, I like 'em all... except for this one. It didn't have any humor.

Dennis Dunjinman

Best Email: "marbles" - Wild and creative + on the plot + Ideas were unexpected but fit + Includes Trevor = SOLID!
2^nd Best Email: "death" - This e-mail stands out to me for some reason. I think it has to do with the introduction of the Boss trio Reloaded, a good idea, and huge emotion, and no fight scenes I lose my attention over. Well done!
3^rd Best Email: "betrayal" - Why do most of the new Tampo E-mails have dangerous names? This one was a good plot starter, funny, and Tampo didn't freak out about being called the "dark side" again. (Good Chorch Commander? As if).
Worst Email: "biggest fan" - This e-mail SUCKED. Random plot, no cleverness, no humor. Just passive. Just filler for the "moving" plot.

NachoMan

Best Email:"future" - This is how all other character emails should be. Long, funny, plot twisting and award winning.
2^nd Best Email: "revolution" - I actually didn't read the whole email at first. I read up to where the Boss trio are talking to the Boss Trio Reload, and I said"To long! I have better things to do!". And the next day, I finished it, and I loved it!
3^rd Best Email: "Marbles" - This email is so good, I can't put it in words! But I'm still scratching my head about why Homsar turned dumb again at the end.
Worst Email: "girlfriend" - I read this email and stopped reading at the part where he read the email. I remembered all the negetave stuff about this one, so I read somthing else.
