Just when you think the popularity contests are done, one last one comes back to bite you. Last year's OP is gone, so I've decided to do this myself. The tittle explains the gist of this. Now go, read along and vote.

Voting in the Debating and Posting Categories: You will choose three individuals and list them in order of preference.

Nominations are open and remember you can nominate anybody, even yourself. You have until October 25th at noon EST to vote.

Good luck and let the self-promotion begin!

The 2013 Posters Awards for Excellency in the Fields of General Debating and Posting.

Award for Excellence in the Field of Debating
Bestowed upon posters who display an uncommon level of skill and professionalism. They do not resort to merely using rhetoric and prove their points without pulling emotional chords. These posters command deep respect among their peers.

Award for Excellence in Posting
Bestowed upon posters held in high esteem by their friends and fellow Generalites. Their posts are highly anticipated. Their posts/threads amuse, enlighten, inform, inspire and make you want to participate.

The Lunatic Goofballs Award for Humor
The Award for Outstanding Sarcasm
The Award for Uncommon Insanity
Best New Poster
Most Effective Moderation
Best Capitalist
Best Communist

Drunk Commies Deleted Award for Lifetime Achievement
This is the poster whom you believe has earned your respect and is amongst the most honorable of posters. If they were to leave, their presence would be greatly missed. In memory of Drunk Commies.

Zooke Memorial Goodwill Award
The Zooke Memorial Award for High Charity and overall Kindness. So often in the hustle and bustle of the forums we become easily enraged and forget that this is only a game. Zooke helped keep us friendly and never said an offensive word to anyone. This is in memory of her. May she never be forgotten.

KYC (keeping your cool) Award
Award for keeping your cool despite being piled on by loads of posters in a debate and in the face of much vitriol or hostility

literally only euroslavia deserves something for good moderation. the rest of the awards are just, as you'll probably admit, ego massaging that shouldn't really exist and remind me of being on sonic forums when i was 12.

Darn you've foiled my plans! But yeah, I am well aware that these are popularity contests for people who are desperate for their ego to be stroked. You know what though? I don't really care.

sick tricks bruh

So we can all post nominations? In that case, these will be mine (will edit in more as I see fit, as the current list isn't complete).

Yeppers. Anyone can nominate anyone who has set a foot in NSG.

That time of the year again?

Glad I'm not hosting this one, at least.

I nominate Murkwood for Best Communist.

Just wait until I get nominated for insanity.

Indeed. Glorious comrade Murkwood has proven to be one of our finest and most endearing proletariat brothers over the last year. He is an example to us all.

I generally dislike these, as they are mass in-clique populist shams promoted to praise a certain group of politically correct people.

Sing it sistah!

Kind of odd that Sibirsky wins an award nearly every year, so.

Sib's pretty much left now, though. Hell, most of the uber-capitalists have left this forum.

The list so far.

I'm honestly a little relieved. The guy scared the bajeezus out of me. He didn't debate you so much as wallop you over the head with a shovel until you agreed.

He was far from PC and far from in-clique, though.

If you think Sibirsky was in any way shape or form rude, then you definitely never met a certain hippopotamus.

Hippo wasn't as flat out intimidating as Sibirsky could be.

To be quite honest, i haven't seen hippo in quite some time.

Dunno, I think Anarcho-Capitalism an extremely abhorrent belief system, but I always found that Sibirsky in most instances conducted himself well when it came to debating such issues, but I never really debated with him personally so I'll refrain from saying anything else on it.
