the guru contest is just to see who on board 8 has the best bracket every contest. One of the stipulations is supposed to be that whoever wins, gets a line in the sig of everyone else who played and lost.

Some people changed their sigs to the various guru winners through the years and haven't changed them since

People outside of B8 have been trained to be wary of trolls with many alt accounts, so I imagine some could see the same name bolded in a bunch of sigs and think they're all the same person.

I mean I guess we've been trained that way too with our Ultis and our MWCs, but it's much scarier outside our walls.

There's a lot of stuff I don't understand here. This place is a bit more cliquey than other boards, but I do enjoy some of the contests people run.

Hi!

At least, I think I still count as a new user.

Also, I thought Guru winners were supposed to stay in sigs for one month?

I just know it's a contests prediction thing where the winner's name is forever etched into all the losers' sigs (okay, it's for a predetermined amount of time) and they also get to choose one nomination for everyone in it.

That's about all I know. And I've been here since 2006.

That's exactly it.

And barring any rallies, the winner of the guru has a really high chance of winning the contest or placing very high in it.

Except for cases like Majora's Mask winning GotD.

I was plenty confused when I got here 8 years ago. Especially since most of the sigs tried to be witty. I thought it was a meme of some sort. Thankfully I didn't join the bandwagon.
