So, here are the awards, now you can make nominations to each category. You can do it either posting them here or PMing me.

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 2:04 pm

Rookie of the Year: I nominate Loki[D.d.G], the dude registered in June 2007 and in six months he's made over a thousand posts, 75% of them decent quality "adds to the forum" type posts.

Best Moderator: I'd have to say DW, for as long as she's been a Mod she's shown constant enthusiasm to not only moderate forums in a fair manner but help members out in any way she can along the way.

Best News Thread:
http://www.gamebanshee.com/forums/gameb ... 93715.html

This thread was so hysterical, I could not stop laughing for like 20 minutes straight. It was the most ridiculous thing you could do in a video game and it actually happened. So I nominate this thread.

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 2:24 pm

I really like your new categories Kipi, nice and refreshing!

I'd also like to second Syb's nomination of Loki as "Rookie of the Year."

As for others, I'm going to need to think for a bit... That could take some time, I've been trying not to hurt myself lately

Yeah, it's good time to increase the number of awards as this ceremony now is for whole GB, not SYM alone...

You know, thinking SHOULDN'T hurt you... much.

Oh, and I'll add the nominations to the first post for sake of clarity, so that everybody can see who and what has already nominated.

Am I too new to be a rookie this year? I haven't made alot of posts but theyve all been good ones.

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 2:59 pm

You registered in 08, and since this is an 07 awards thread, that would make you a wee bit too new.

As Syb said, you registered during this year, and the awards are for 2007...
So, you have to wait till next year...

Don't worry, the timeframe for the award should be rather flexible, so it doesn't necessary have to be registered during last 6 months...

aww man that means I can't win anything.
Unless there's an award that goes to "Sexiest poster"

Then I'm in like Flint baby, yeah!

Siberys · Post by **Siberys** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 3:14 pm

Heh, sadly that wouldn't even matter, as you'd only be the sexiest poster of 2008.

McBane · Post by **McBane** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 4:01 pm

Well, as I've posted in 2008, rearviewmirror could only achieve 2nd sexiest poster of 2008.

I'd have to nominate the original Rolling Thunder thread for best tavern, as it was finally closed this year after a 5 year long run.

As for Mod, I'll vote for DW, as I've always had a (secret) soft spot for her

dragon wench · Post by **dragon wench** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 6:32 pm

@McBane and Sib,

thank you, though I'm sure I don't always make the soundest of judgments

I'd actually like to nominate Bloodstalker for Mod of the Year too. He's always very level-headed and fair, and I don't think I've ever seen him lose his cool.

rearviewmirror · Post by **rearviewmirror** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:18 pm

OK, so in my latest attempts to be nominates for something, who wants to pair up with me for best couple?

Mmm... perhaps you have understood this a bit wrong...
You don't nominate yourself but others. And others may nominate you, though as you have registered during this year, you have to wait till the next awards, as this ceremony is about things in 2007...

Only 75% decent? Come now Sibs. More like 50%... or less. Anyway thanks for the nominations guys, appreciate it.

I'd also like to nominate Mah for best mod. I like to power of COMM, so bite me.

SYM most loveable female member I nominate DW. She is after all one of the most likeable GB members. Would have nominated her for mod if Sibs and McBane haven't done so already.

Easy to be level headed when your brain is constantly pickled!

Wow, he is persistent. No offence mate.

VonDondu · Post by **VonDondu** » Tue Jan 15, 2008 7:35 pm

I will wait for Vicsun to make his nomination for "Most stupid thing said in SYM" (and I will second it), unless he decides that he doesn't want to.

You say "Only" as in 75% decent isn't enough and yet you suggest a lower number, I confuse-ed.

Heh, I was being cynical. Sorry for confusing you.
