WINNERS 11th Annual Posters Awards!

[Mimic]

Thanks to everyone who voted. I do not recall even coming close to winning an award previously, so to win two is really quite something. This has been a very difficult year, and without the support of a number of people on this forum I am not sure I would still be around. My record here is far from beyond blemish. With the rage quits, bans and numerous warnings in my past I am aware that I am far from an uncontroversial character and that some may be less than pleased for me to be recognised in this way. I'd like to thank all of you for putting up with me so long; that someone like me can come through and win something like this says a lot about the tolerant, forgiving and supportive nature of the community. I acknowledge my faults and hope to improve upon them.

This place really has been like a second family. When I had to quit my PhD and enter the labour market unprepared during the worst recession in living memory, when I approached near-breakdown through social anxiety, when the struggles and self-worth difficulties of being a fairly isolated NEET became too much, there was always one place I could turn up, talk things through without the risk of negative judgement, and receive reassurance that, at least here, I would always be valued and have an appreciated role to play. You are wonderful people and this is a great community. Thank you.

Sorry, who are you again?

If people think it would be better to spread the awards around I could make these changes:

1. Farnhamia would keep KYC but lose the Mention. Other candidates for a Mention are Alien Space Bats (4th in medals by any accounting), The Parkus Empire (trophyist by any weighted accounting) and Katganistan (9.5 to NERVUN's 18, despite doing more of her work away from General).
2. Put in more Honorable Mentions, by popular demand in this thread (people really should see the speadsheet I can see before deciding). Not too many though, it shouldn't be a "thanks for playing" award.
3. CM would lose the half-share of Best Sig so -StGeorge has it outright.
4. ... AND/OR ... CM gives up Bronze Trophy to Nanatsu no Tsuki, leaving The Parkus Empire with the Silver Trophy outright (or the other way around, or toss for it).
5. Dumb Ideologies (8) would lose Outstanding Sarcasm to Norstal (5) but keep Humor which she won by an hilarious margin.
6. Keronians (5 with one GP) would give up the Bronze Medal to Buffet and Colbert (3 with 1 silver) or Grave_n_Idle (3 with one GP), keeping Best New Poster which Kero won decisively.
7. The Nuclear Fist (4) could give up Best WTF Moment to You-Gi-Owe (3) and keep the Award for Uncommon Insanity (12) since even the combined insanity of Lunatic Goofballs (4), Nightkill the Emperor (3) and Zeppy (3) does not match it without added insanity from Dumb Ideologies (2), Hammurab (2) or You-Gi-Owe (2).

I would not change any one of those without the agreement of the parties involved.

But I ask you all to give opinions on whether the prizes should be spread around a bit more, so posters don't have to share an award (tho, Nana and Parkus is a match made in heaven ... I can say that because Galloism would run out of fuel before he could fly over and bomb my house with turkeys ...) and no poster has more than one award unless they won them both by large margins.

Give your opinion on it, and I repeat: I won't change anything unless the poster losing an award agrees. Otherwise it stays just like it is in the OP.

I'd be fine with either of those changes. *clings to his silver medal*

The Force has the two sides of White and Brown.

Or West and East.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Thanks to everyone who voted for me.

And Galloism wants you all to know that since no one voted for him there will be Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks for all.

-StGeorge

Who has apparently been deleted...

I don't see anything in his recent history which would lead to deletion. I will spell his name right though. It's -St George

[AiliailiA]

lol, I should have gotten one for being the most anti social, anti revolutionay, anti socialist, common criminal fundamentalist, hardline, intransigent, Cuban American Miami Mafia Gusano Worm, Escoria Scum poster, as the RW democratic communist socialist government of Cuba most of you can believe in (lol) calls us of course sad faced.

I guess you should have come by the nominations thread (and voted for yourself).

Thanks. I'm certainly not giving the award to anyone else until the appeal is finished.

In the unlikely event SG gets that nation back, they'd certainly keep the award. If it goes hard the other way (a DoS) then it will have go to someone else. It's the in-between I'm not sure about.

Well this is awkward: I seem to have misplaced that one nomination for Best Avatar that I'm quite certain you got. Where could it have gone?

This is totally not-serious! Dyakovo isn't getting shit OK?

No, he means the Galloism side.
