4th Annual WarBoards Awards Voting Thread

[AJ]

You MUST PM your votes to me in order for them to count. I will NOT be counting the votes you may/may not post in this thread.
http://www.warboards.org/private.php?do=newpm&u=2

These are awards meant to recognize and showcase the contributions of the various members and staff here at WarBoards, and in the ORG Network to a lesser extent.

This is the voting thread. Hence, the names of those in contention for the awards will be following the descriptions of each category. Look through the names, decide who you feel best suits the accompanying award, and finally send those names to our Judge for this year's awards, me.

The basic rules, are:

You may only vote for one person per award.
You may vote for the same person in different awards.
This voting phase will run until the 30th of April.
There will be no appeals, no special consideration, etc.
Voting under multiple accounts is a bannable offense. Do not do so.


This was an extremely competitive year, one in which we had a record number of nominations and responses to our call for nominations. Thus the field is pretty wide-open for just about any of the categories. I wish you all the best of luck.

The Categories:

The Puppet (Most Popular)
Not neccesarily the most courteous, intelligent or useful member, but still easily recognized by the collective forum.
Nominations: Basan, Black.Ice, galiant609, GenocideAlive, kongurous, Magmaniac, Protogod, Protosschick99, Seal, Toucan, Zerg_Eater

The Ambassador (Most Intelligent)
People nominated for this title are of a higher calibre. They know how to construct and deliver near-flawless arguments in many serious debates.
Nominations: Basan, Femoimal, GenocideAlive, Modred, Oblongato, Prozerran, T-Dawg, Toucan

The Artisan of Visions (Best Graphic Designer/Artist)
Whatever their medium may be, these members behold sights that can only be described with visual splendor.
Nominations: AqoTrooper, Darkslayer633, Fallen, Femoimal, Lithium, SgtHK, The_Maker, U-238, ZDS

The Turncoat (Most Improved)
Throughout the course of the year it is not uncommon to see individuals express different attitudes or personalities while a part of this network. This award goes to acknowledge that poster who has seen the greatest improvement.
Nominations: DoctorZettabyte, Gunmonk, Hydralisk1337, kongurous, PaiN, Protogod, Toucan, X9, Zerg_Eater

The Unsung (Least Appreciated)
There are thousands of members of the ORG Network, hundreds of which are active, contributing forces -- but there are always a few who go overlooked. They work to better the environment around them without so much as a "Thank you" for their hard efforts.
Nominations: 124167, AJ, Basan, kongurous, Ktan, Lithium, masterofhobbiton, Mystikal, Neo, Nostradamous, Protogod, Seal, Tanis, TimP

The Kneebiter (Most Annoying)
While every user is appreciated, sometimes there comes along that individual who causes more hassle and unrest than any postive influence they might possess. Use this award to enlighten them to this most stunning attribute of theirs.
Nominations: galiant609, Gunmonk, Magmaniac, Neo, Polkaman, Protogod, sdbolts11, SolidSamurai, ZeratulStukov

The Jester (Most Humourous)
Laughter is their forte. Humility and Modesty are not among their characters. Hilarity and Amusement at the sake of their own hides are what they live for.
Nominations: GenocideAlive, IrishDutchman, Kingscrab, kongurous, Ktan, Magmaniac, Schwitzer

The Guide (Most Helpful)
These members devote their time to making newer members of our community feel welcome and informed. These people may also be fountains of knowledge that impart advice and instruction to fellow members who are having issues in and out of the forums.
Nominations: AJ, Basan, Black.Ice, Fallen, Neo, Toucan, U-238

The Partisan (Best Moderator)
A testiment to the security, fairness kindness of the forums. Tirelessly ridding the forums of opposition towards the atmosphere and standards of a great forum, but always have a spare moment to lend a hand to help those in need.
Nominations: Basan, Black.Ice, GrassDragon, kongurous, Ktan, Protogod

The Sceptre (Best Administrator)
The crew behind the forums work hard to ensure the things we take for granted. Always coming up with fresh ideas to better the site and the experience, they are often overlooked due to their infrequent public contact.
Nominations: AJ, Schwitzer

New This Year:

The Shadow (Most Missed)
Throughout the course of a year it is not uncommon to see individuals come and go on WarBoards. This award is meant to recognize the members who are no longer active on the site and are missed the most.
Nominations: BSTRhino, Carnage, Cygnus, Edgewize, Fenguin, Frattimonde, ITSTORRASQUE4U, Nuts, Schwitzer, Titanwing, Whiteknight, Xenon, ZeroCross

You can send all your votes to me here (http://www.warboards.org/private.php?do=newpm&u=2).

(She's...like...EVERYWHERE!)
The Ambassador (Most Intelligent):Toucan
(Same reason I nominated him, really)
The Artisan of Visions (Best Graphic Designer/Artist):Femoimal
(Although SgtHK is definitely a close second.)
The Turncoat (Most Improved):kongurous
(I didn't quite realise it, but kong's quickly gone from a member who could rub some of the staff up the wrong way to one of our best mods. That's not to say I didn't like him before, but I think the aptitude he has displayed as a moderator is quite prodigious)
The Unsung (Least Appreciated):Lithium
(I think ALL of the above are actually equally worthy, so I'll stick with my nomination ;))
The Kneebiter (Most Annoying):ZeratulStukov
(Yeah, I hate clearing his shit up, I hate his wild accusations and I hope that if he wins this award, it might show some him some insight into what others think of his hissy-fits. TBH)
The Jester (Most Humourous):IrishDutchman
(ID's humour is eccentric, but benign. He's a bit like a web-cultured Peter Kay)
The Guide (Most Helpful):Basan
(No questions. I don't think I've ever seen Basan shirk from helping someone unless it was illegal)
The Partisan (Best Moderator):Black.Ice
(Just because)
The Sceptre (Best Administrator):AJ
(The amount of work he has put in on SC.org and since SCII was announced is phenomenal. <3)
The Shadow (Most Missed):BSTRhino
(OMG BSTBST!)



As a side note, I'm incredibly flattered by the number of nominations I have received. Thank you, guys. All being well, I might be able to edge one of them this time ;p

[Basan]

Thanks for all those nominations fellas. I really appreciated it. :) Although am somewhat doubtful to be fitting in some of'em... *Cough*Ambassador*Cough* :smirk:

Anyway, and without further adue, here's the contents of my ballots. Obviously without some of the text because that was personal. ;p
Good morning AJ,

These are my nominations for the categories mentioned in the thread (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=34615). ...

The Puppet (Most Popular): GenocideAlive.

The Ambassador (Most Intelligent): GenocideAlive.

The Artisan of Visions (Best Graphic Designer/Artist): Lithium.

The Turncoat (Most Improved): GunMonk.

The Unsung (Least Appreciated): Neo, for those new banners alongside with all the help that he provided in the TA area. :)

The Kneebiter (Most Annoying): Almost without a doubt, ZeratulStukov. :P

The Jester (Most Humourous): It's kinda hard for me to point one out since there are quite a few that fill the niche, but the most constant reference associated to it imo must be GenocideAlive.

The Guide (Most Helpful): I don't quite like to vote for myself and therefore imho will nominate the best next 'thing', Black.Ice. ;)

The Partisan (Best Moderator): Ktan.

The Sceptre (Best Administrator): AJ, with the current lack of members in that group to match it's quite easy to understand, no? :angel:

The Shadow (Most Missed): Schwitzer.

Wait, doesn't WhiteKnight hang out in the IRC often? Why does he never post at the boards?

[WarInSerbia]

Too lazy :P

[Gunmonk]

Wait, doesn't WhiteKnight hang out in the IRC often? Why does he never post at the boards?

Because he, unlike you, has cowbell

Not posting does not disqualify someone from an award, it is their presence in the community.

[QuothTheRaven]

I expected to be the knee-biter, guess I'm not as hated as I thought. Maybe people just don't remember how much of a flammer/spammer I used to be. Maybe I have been forgiven.

I consider myself the refined jerk now though =)

Just an idea. :-D

[Galiant]

I'll be back on May 11

[GenocideAlive]

[AJ]

So,when does the voting end?


read the fucking thread.

[Gunmonk]

read the fucking thread.

He's not allowed to read

[Faiien]

Ooooooooooooooooo cant wait for tommorow. I know I probably wont win anything but I'am dying to know the results.

[Nostradamus]

It's an internet award, on a forum full of people that you don't know, and there is no prize other than the right to put a few pixels in your signature that spell out a title that is only meaningful to a few internet geeks.

Hope ya win lulz :D

[Faiien]

The moment of truth has arrived :)
Hold on
