2018 Posters Awards: WINNERS ANNOUNCED!

[The South Falls]

I'd think you need to see an eye doctor for that wink.

Why not be funky fresh?

I can't do it!

[The Blaatschapen]

The lady doth protest too much, methinks

I’m not sure what you’re trying to read into me, but alright.

It seems to me that is very important for you that everybody knows that you don't care.

Which is quite incongruent.

[Nanatsu no Tsuki]

Could we, perhaps, get back to nominating? Please?

[Oil exporting People]

Could we, perhaps, get back to nominating? Please?

Vote Parkus, 2018

[Luminesa]

Thank you.

[Benuty]

Award for Humour Pending

Award for Sarcasm Dumb Ideologies, cause she's a sass machine and quite brilliant too, best Strasserite

Award for Insanity This award strikes me as a little mean-spirited so I'll abstain from nominating anyone. I have rather fervent disagreements with plenty of y'all and find certain behaviors unworthy of your quality as human beings, but I'm not going to call anyone insane. Wait... can I nominate myself. Screw it. Benuty. He'll consider it a compliment.

Most Effective Moderation Farnhamia, because she both terrifies me and earns my respect, she's stern but fair

Best Capitalist Pending

Best Communist Pending

Best Liberal Pending

Best Conservative Old Tyrannia, his posts are always lucid, well-sourced, and impacting, he's a genuine High Tory conservative as well and would probably reestablish the Empire

Best Authoritarian Oil Exporting People, national syndicalism has never looked so good, optimum aesthetics

Award for Creative Thread Creation Pending

Most Friendly Poster Luminesa, because she was one of the first Generalites to reach out to me after my hiatus and has been an absolute sweetheart

Most Well Researched and Well Read The Archregimancy, he's a professor and I demand more threads from him because they're always amazing

Lifetime Achievement Award Pending, but someone old.

[Sahansahiye Iran]

Best Authoritarian - Sahan.. sahan.. sahannotspellingthis.. Iran

If this isn't the best thing I've seen tonight, I don't know what is. Thanks for the chuckle and nomination lol.

[Washington Resistance Army]

Wait what happened to him?

He called Farn a lesbian and got taken out for it, he died too young.

[The Blaatschapen]

Could we, perhaps, get back to nominating? Please?

I'd like to. But my question on page one (or was it two?) has not been answered by the OP

[Ifreann]

The fact that I haven't even gotten an ironic nomination for anything tells me I seriously need to improve my posting on every level. I'll try to do better, folks.

Best Post Disowner: Liriena

Fake news.

[Fahran]

He called Farn a lesbian and got taken out for it, he died too young.

He trolled bronies and then flamed a mod. Honestly, it was deserved. He's on a two-week ban. I don't believe he's DOS.

Fake news.

Well, kinda. But we're drifting a bit.

[Bienenhalde]

He called Farn a lesbian and got taken out for it, he died too young.

He trolled bronies and then flamed a mod. Honestly, it was deserved. He's on a two-week ban. I don't believe he's DOS.

For the first offense, he was DEAT'ed, but I feel he was treated unfairly, because Ifreann goaded him into it by mocking Christianity, and yet the mods who were present let Ifreann go scot-free. Anyway, the second offense was with a second nation, and anyway, his flaming of Farn was not justified, regardless of how unfairly he was treated. But I suppose once the two-week ban is up, he will be back with his new nation.

[Freezic Vast]

What even is Parkus' new nation anyway???

[Fahran]

What even is Parkus' new nation anyway???

This thread isn't about Parkus. You can figure that out by looking him up in Moderation.

I'm still trying to figure out interesting people to nominate. In an uncharacteristic move, I'm going to promote diversity for the sake of diversity.

Sir, you impugn the character of St. Parkus the Martyr to suggest that he lacked the faculties to control his own behaviour. For shame.
