Linux Superlatives: Yearbook Edition
Not the awards show. Awards are about merit. Superlatives are about personality: who’s the class clown, who peaked in high school, who’s getting forked the second the teacher leaves the room.
Rules
- One category at a time. Everyone names a nominee, then argue. 2-3 minutes each.
- Two votes locks the winner. Three-way split: first nominator defends for 60 seconds, then revote.
- One Write-In per host. Add a category nobody prepped, no take-backs.
- The Yearbook Quote. Whoever wins the vote writes the winner’s one-line yearbook quote.
Cold open: each host predicts one winner before we start.
Categories (12 active, 4 on the bench)
- Most likely to be abandoned
- Most likely to get forked
- Class clown
- Best dressed (DE or WM)
- Peaked in high school
- Most changed since freshman year
- Teacher’s pet (the corporate darling)
- Most likely to succeed
- Biggest drama queen
- Best friends who don’t talk anymore (a fork and its parent)
- Most likely to still be in beta
- Life of the party (the one everyone installs at 2am)
- Worst at keeping secrets
- Most like to live in (hometown) forever
- Most likely to have their work put in a museum
- Most Likely to be Late to Class
Bench:
- Most likely to show up at the 20-year reunion unchanged
- Loudest in the hallway, quietest in class
- Voted “nobody knows what they actually do”
