| likely, the person will only include people that he/she likes, and it's obvious who those are just by who he/she associates with on the forum. |

Because OT'ers are egotistical and biased.

"to get people to whiteknight you"
that's about right murranda, include a name on the list and that person is indebted to defend you. |

@Murc post count never determines if you're getting on a list ever |

"people here feel accomplished when they finally get on a list"
there's no skill or ranking among OTers that would justify being accomplished over. wow, someone over the internet likes you somewhat!
"cause their post count is high enough"
sucks to see people's opinions revolve around who's the most active. |

if youre talking about oter lists (as in whos an oter) then hell yeah
if youre talking about favorite oter lists (the biased one) then more often than not your post count will have something to do with it |

you have to be known enough to get on one, which means activity, which means post count. it's not that the person is looking at the post count when judging, but that the person's active and therefore has a large post count. |

@murc i still don't see how post count determines if you're going to be listed or not, regardless of favorite or least favorite |

i think it revolves most around bandwagons like PokemonEevee or Tappier not saying they're bad but for the past few weeks they've been on pretty much every list |
