1st 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.

Similar to what many of you have participated in and still may (boo at you!) at Blizzforums, 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.
This voting phase will run until the 30th of January.
There will be no appeals, no special consideration, etc.
Voting under multiple accounts is a bannable offense. Do not do so.


The Categories:

The Puppet (Most Popular)
Not neccesarily the most courteous, intelligent or useful member, but still easily recognized by the collective forum.
Nominations: Fenguin, Dunchy, Radlin, WhiteKnight, ZeroDarkStar.

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: BSTRhino, DarkMagneto, EdvardMunch, Exedore, Fenguin, TheBB, theXenon.

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: Battlecruiser, BlackHawk, CodeZero, DarkViper, Eros, Fenguin, ZeroDarkStar.

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: Duddits, Dunchy, EdvardMunch, Fenguin, Schwitzer, theXenon.

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: BSTRhino, NeoX, ProtossChick99, StealthyDeath, The WarBoards Community.

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: BSTRhino, Dunchy, OboeGuru, Radlin, Schwitzer.

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, Edgewize, Fenguin.

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

Have fun. I wish you all the best of luck.

The Puppet (Most Popular) - Dunchy. The uber 'sober' modder of these parts gets the cake. Heck, I reminded him during the nominations process, but just went with the spammers trend I've picked up at that time. :D

The Ambassador (Most Intelligent) - theXenon.

The Artisan of Visions (Best Graphic Designer/Artist) - ZeroDarkStar.

The Jester (Most Humourous) - Schwitzer.

The Guide (Most Helpful) - The nominees or the WB's community. For all the possible choices, I recall a few that would get my vote... but hell, we can only vote for one. :cry:
It's a tricky one that's for sure, but since this is an award and these most of the times will go only to singular entities, I'd go for NeoX.

The Partisan (Best Moderator) - BSTRhino.

The Sceptre (Best Administrator) - AJ.


For any of the reasons that I didn't state (or you didn't understand), just peep here (http://www.warboards.org/showthread.php?t=7439&page=1).
Btw, my check (PM) is already in the mail. :)

Didn't we already do this?

[EdvardMunch]

Didn't we already do this?
Those were the nominations. Now we're voting for the nominees to win. I hear the "vote more than once" method was adopted from the US election system.

/not that our vote matters, since the WB electoral college controls everything.

[mcflurry_1982]

that was the nominations. this is the actual voting.

I am upset that I was not nominated... and I'm insulted that Carny wasn't even listed! That smacks of disrespect!

[Calibur]

I am upset that I was not nominated... and I'm insulted that Carny wasn't even listed! That smacks of disrespect!Carny doesn't even come here anymore, and besides most of the people that where nominated have been around for a while and are frequent posters.

By the way "The warboards community" as a vote, thats just sad.

[AJ]

.. i don't see it as sad.
i'd like to think of it as a compliment that enough of you nominated the community as being helpful to be in the running..
i kinda thought it showed how helpful and cooperative a place i was running..

[Modred]

i kinda thought it showed how helpful and cooperative a place i was running..

I'll drink to that. </feeding AJ's ego> =D

[Battlecruiser]

I nominated Carnage, but I guess AJ took my nomination off since he doesn't come around anymore. Or maybe there is another reason.

[AJ]

I took the top nominated people in each category.

[Basan]

After seein' the nominatin' thread (linked in one of my posts here), that's the conclusion I've came up with. Just not to mention the most logical... :devil:

[Demon_Child]

I would like to congratulate all of those who have been nominated enough to be in the running for the category/categories to which they have been nominated for. I wish you all the best of luck. :D

please submit your votes to me if you haven't already.. it's your chance to let people know how much you appreciate their particular additions to this community.

almost all of the categories were extremely closely tied during nomination stages.. i expect a very close race!

[AJ]

There are only two days remaining.. please submit any and all final votes if you have not!

[Basan]

Can anyone (admin/mods) please tell us how's the vote rolecall going? Many votes, tough race, etc. *Wink, wink*

[AJ]

It's extremely close and I've not counted all the votes yet -- however I still have less votes than I did nominations.

You have ONE day people!

[Schwitzer]

It's extremely close and I've not counted all the votes yet -- however I still have less votes than I did nominations.
What, for all categories?

I bet you're just saying that to get people to vote ;)

[AJ]

With just hours left before I close the polls.. there are still 1-2 awards under heavy contention.. and 2 awards with current ties.

YOU could swing the vote in a particular person's favor! VOTE NOW!

[Xenon]
