Updated, yeah go suggest awards too. I'm nice.

okay, I suggest Nicest Member and if others agree to that being added, I'd nominate Dragoncat for the award

Most Influential I'd also suggest and I'd vote Lord Raven (as without him IRC would be nowhere near as good as it is now)

chicken or egg, which came first:  The chicken is one of the closest descendants of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, which suggests that rather than just a chicken or an egg appearing, we got our chickens and eggs through a long chain of natural selection. Nurtured first by their mothers, and then later through the devoted work of farmers like Scout, we have come to know our chickens as they are today, and we've come to know eggs as very helpful ingredients in cooking <3

Updated the first post with all your votes. Thank you.

Add a stipulation so people take some of these seriously...  Joeno is not anywhere close to a newcomer

best newcomer:  bread.  Even if he is a Patriots fan, he is a DMV-er at heart.
most underrated member:  Del.  You own't really find anyone more chill than him.
funniest member:  Del.  He's an ass but he makes me laugh.
coolest member:  Del.  Looks like I'm about to have competition...  but he's still chill.
most alpha member:  I dunno what this means but I'll go with Del.
best shipping:  Del x Sappy.  What?
most girly member:  chloe.  Literally the only girls name on the nominee list.
best thread:  all these threads suck so no vote
best competitive battler:  Richard_and_Blaziken.  True student of the game.
most helpful:  Richard and Blaziken.  Given all he does for Team Building and the Pokemon forums in general.
which came first, chicken or the egg?:  egg.  Evolution means that the egg came first, then the chicken came out of the egg.
most influential:  joeno.  lol
nicest member:  kay.  Pretty obvious to me from all the choices.


I would like a "most abrasive" category please

abrasive added.

As for stipulation, I have considered it. However, I have decided unlike the formal feel of previous awards I thought a wide open awards would be more fun and relaxed. Also it's not limited to a list of nominations, you can vote anyone/anything. While it may encourage madness... madness is what this site's about.

Whiniest can count as abrasive.

I also decided worst member isn't a thing, due to some people may take it seriously and cause wars.

ok awesom, will update ^^

most abrasive.

it has to be alice, she's a nightmare.

I was joking. I made a South Park reference with a Pokemon's named replacing one word. I'l:
post my nominations later.

best thread: What's making you happy right now?

this might just be my favourite section of a post in a long while

very upset that i'm not allowed to vote for myself because i think i would sweep all of the awards if i were allowed too, but such is life i guess.

best newcomer: dragoncat
but scout is cool too i guess

if you ever change the rules so i can vote for myself please change all of my votes to me because i'm the best ty

For the most abrassive I will go with CoolDudeEX Poison, who always reminded me of the rules :P.

I would like to add a new category: Weirdest Member. My nomination goes to Captain Jigglypuff.

I think if you're going to go down that route it should be Most Interesting rather than Weirdest imo

(and I'd vote Scout for most interesting ^^)

if there IS a worst member category i will fight samir for it. 
tickets to watch start at £15. 
 
is there not going to be a poll? this is r-r-rrretro, i like it. 
skipped the ones i didn't get (is abrasive like controversial or rude or hated or what? and i have no idea about alpha, that makes me think of the whole pick-up culture lmao).
 
most underrated: another for monstermon
funniest member: samir
coolest member: sylar
most girly member: samir
best thread: anything by MangaDragon
chicken or egg, which came first: dinosaurs
nicest member: dragonpikay

anything by mangadragon yes this

if i had to pick a particular thread (and only one) for Best Ever then i'd probably have to go for this one (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=103401.0). 
page two gives me life. 
 

What's an Alpha member? Also I'm surprised there's no Blaze x Chloe shipping jokes yet (no don't, just no). Well, besides the 1.

best newcomer: Delicous_Scout
most underrated: Alice (shrub)
funniest member: samir 
coolest member: Not me Del
most alpha member: GL
best shipping: GL x Del
most girly member: Bad Wolf (Chloe)
best thread: Showdown Replays
best competitive battler: Richard and Blaziken
most helpful: GL
chicken or egg, which came first: Chicken
most influential: Joeno
nicest member: RubyRobin
most abrasive: samir  (although said user has good points)

Edit: Never mind, I was half asleep when I typed my suggestion and it seemed like a good idea at the time.

I think the Most Interesting should be split into The Most Random.

we don't reward random people

not enough draghost in this thread.

I meant "Random" as in the most colorful posts about ANYTHING given by a single user. Basically someone who posts stuff in Random Randomness a lot. I didn't mean random as in just handing it out to someone randomly.

he responded with that knowledge

I have a new nomination category: Most Name Changes- Caught Bread handed!

thats not what i meant at all by that but o k a y

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhgh nooooooooooooooo what is this bizarre warm feeling in my chest //melts into a puddle of uncontrollable emotions and goes down the drain, puk wishes they knew this was the way to defeat me,
the puddle whispers ''thank u" just as the last bit disappears//

i stared at that post for like 6 hours before it registered that its an actual post by jas tbh

i almost forgot to mention this (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=103151.0)

the old ''i love rebecca black'' intro thread is gone now, rip

right updated. Bread are you changing your thread vote at all or not? You keep pointing out threads. As for now I havent changed your vote.

Richard, you changed your vote for nicest member to Kay, who was your old vote or else this won't count and your old vote will. Since I need to change the scores.

It's the last weekend to vote.

keep it cool kids.

no more new awards.

Changed from Dragoncat, with no offense meant to her at all, just that Kay is the nicest person on the planet v-v

picking nicest was hard because both really deserve it; both incredible nice people haha

(Not gonna change my vote though, will stick with whatever else I voted too ^^)

keep it on the first one lewis ^ ^; soz

Awesome

Guys I'll also be doing a live update/discussion thing at 9pm on Sunday (after the black nuzlocke stream) find it here (http://www.twitch.tv/lewlewlive)

Okay the awards are over. (Yay)

First, two things;

1. Sorry for being late, you should know who the winners are anyway.
2. I scrapped Most Abrasive as there was hardly any votes in it. Total of 4 or 5 and no clear winner.

So without further ado;

The Best Newcomer is Scout.

Delicous_Scout joined February this year and ever since has became a valuable member of the community. He has recently started a new daily thread about Unviable Pokemon and how to use them. My favourite part is reading the Saturday's issue where he acts like the site's members are usable mon. Check it out here! (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?topic=105749.0)

The Most Underrated Member is Alice (Lalice_of_Shrubs).

Alice lurks in the shadows of IRC and the forums providing comedy and just a nice face to see around the site. Thanks Alice.

The Funniest Member is Samir.

I haven't been on the site long enough recently to comment too much about this and Samir doesn't pop in to IRC. But regardless, congrats keep up the good work and the ongoing laughs! :)

The Coolest Member is Del.

Del's the halfop #dench #denchgang and stuff in IRC. I've been friends with Del for about 9 years now and he is a seriously cool guy. Well deserved of this award.

The Most Alpha Member is GL.

GL IS A MANLY MAN. GRRR MANNESS. GRR LETS PUMP WEIGHTS. ROAR GL. GLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

The Best Shipping is DelxSappy.

Me and Del have known each other for a long time. Been good friends on the site... some might say there's a bromance. Sorry Del, I have eyes for another woman.

The Most Girly Member is Chloe (Bad Wolf).

OMG LETS DO OUR NAILS CHLOE. LETS GO TO THE MALL. EVERYBODY COME AND PLAY. #himym

The Best Thread is 6th Gen Pokemon Of The Week.

Richard posts about Pokemon every week and does a truly great service. This section of the post is clearly dedicated to Richard. Great work, keep it up!

The Best Competitive Battler is Richard and Blaziken.

He fights well, he's the last elite four member I believe? I don't know. Blaze only won on hax I believe. He is a great battler, I managed to hold him out to 63 turns 6-6 until he finally got a knockout. But it was a great game!

The Most Helpful Member is Richard and Blaziken.

He's really helpful too. I don't have a crush on Richard, I swear he just won an awful lot.

The Egg Came First!

DEBATE SETTLED LOSERS.

The Most Influential Member is Joeno.

Joeno puts in endless amount of work into the site, most of it un-noticed. He is without a doubt the most influential and truly deserves this title. Well done man, we appreciate all that you do.

The Nicest Member is Dragonpika (Kay).

KAY IS REALLY NICE. SHE MAKES ME FEEL GOOD INSIDE

and stuff.

SAPPY WINS COOLEST HOST N STUFF

Seriously though, thanks for voting. We'll be back next year. Remember to check out the stream tonight! It's really fun. See ya at 8 (http://twitch.tv/lewlewlive/)

i'd like to thank every one that voted for me for recognizing my #dench #swag, i'll continue doing my best to be the coolest guy you all know (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVUyyHYkBHk).

i'd especially like to thank the IRC Crew (http://pkmn.net/forums/index.php?action=chat) who i definitely didn't pay off for the votes. u guys also da bes

Aww, thanks guys! Congrats to everyone that won, and thanks Sappy for hosting this, it was fun. :)

Congratulations to those that won! If anything this showed that we're starting to get a real community spirit back again and that's the most important part of this awards, regardless of those that may have or may not have won. It would be fantastic to see everyone keep on posting, keep on joining in on chat and helping to make this place the fun house it once was.

So yeah, whilst some people won awards, you're all winners in my eyes <3

That wasnt a very manly sentence. Don't make me give the award away.

i would like to thank the academy

<GL> maybe it comes down to the whole philosophy of the modern or 'new' man
<GL> in which it's about having the blend if patriarchy and emotional and empathy

=P

I would like to thank my extortionist methods for "winning" an award.

my favourite colour is pink now.


congrats to all winners and voters. congrats to everybody.


i can see that my feminine qualities are obviously valued by all.

Quote from: Sappy on September 07, 2014, 12:59#himym

nope.

*curls up teeny tiny*

you guys are the sweetest <3 now be good friends and give me all your lunch money, pretty please with a cherry on top~ ^_^

last time i won an award i believe i was most overrated, and i lost most helpful to miyuki cause i couldnt read japanese (tho she barely could either cause i asked her to read something to me from FE10 and she couldnt)

dammit

Well, I didn't win anything, as I expected (although I'm quite glad the me x coolboy shipping didn't win out). Oh well, nice job for winning everyone!
