The Results of the 11th Annual Forum Poster Awards! (sorry they're late edition)

[STM]

Gooooood evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome back once again for another results night! Whilst it is true that this year has gone by a little quietly, and indeed the audience is wearing a little thin in places, that doesn’t mean we can’t have a good old laugh as we pay tribute to all the fantastic people that make this place stand out as one of the greatest, oldest and most closeted communities on the internet. So raise your glasses, make merry, but not too merry, and listen up for your name because here come the results!

Well that’s it for another year! Congratulations to everyone who won an award and commiserations to those who didn’t. I didn’t win anything, again, and that’s fine. Seriously I don’t mind. Cunts. Thanks to everyone who voted and made this year’s awards possible: [i]Oddey, Varrok, MM, OddjobAbe, OANST, Mr. Bungle, Slogbait, Me, Vyrien, JobMcYossie, Crashpunk, Manco, Nepsotic, Steamer_KING, MA, Hedjeroooo, Wings of Fire and Jbot. That’s 18 people, folks! Nowhere near as many as last year. This was a failure. I’m making a note here, huge…sorry.

You know, I actually made a poster this year to raise awareness for the awards. I’m afraid I destroyed it though; it was far too orange and failed to capture the atmosphere of the ceremony. Never mind, eh?

Great. You didn't realize that "Vyrien’s Scary Teddy Picture" is a teddy (apparently inclusion of the "teddy" word didn't help). And that "Varrok" is, in fact, a teddy too.

...I mean, what a scandal! Not only you forced us to wait additional 8 days to count the votes, but didn't even do that one job right! Jesus, man, how could you be so irresponsible! I'm honestly upset with you, not only because of that but because you basically blocked Nepsotic the opportunity to do it, and I really think he would put much more attention to the details, do it on time and better. I want my money back.

At least you spelt "Newcomer" right this time.

...also, Nep would put "Best Varrok" as a category : ( Seeing how many people voted on that and the fact that is was a forum-wide meme. I hate this year awards.

[Phylum]

Why did I win best blogger? My blogs are horrible.

I actually would have preferred not to win anything :/

There seems to be more than a couple mistakes/miscounts. I am flipping through the voting thread and discovering these things.

FOR SHAME STM, FOR SHAAAME

[Phylum]

There are usually a few miscounts, I just never say anything when I notice because they're never significant.

[Manco]

I hope this is just good-natured ribbing and not sincere bitching. C’mon.

[Slog Bait]

Well it's the former from me. I can't really speak for Varrok tho

[Varrok]

I don't really want to insult or hurt STM, but I feel really sad and kind of disappointed by his work. I don't know which one is it.

[Slog Bait]

I just compared the votes with the results side by side and something isn't adding up.

STM, how did you go about tallying the votes?

[STM]

FOR SHAME STM, FOR SHAAAME

You can just call me Mugabe.

Ignoring the fact that you're not supposed to count shit up yourself, there are some votes I purposely refused to count for a number of reasons I don't care to remember, but yeah, my maths isn't excellent so I don't doubt that maybe there are a few that might be wrong. What's important though, is that everyone who won something, did win and I got all of those. And that I finally pulled my finger out to get this year's awards done in 2014.

Also fuck off Varrok.

[Varrok]

I just recounted the votes for "Most Liked":

OANST,
Varrok x4,
Vyrien x2,
Oddey,
Oddjob,
MA x2,
STD (was it STM?),
Cp x4,
Mr. Bungle

I personally feel like shit for nitpicking, because it's in my favor. Damn

there are some votes I purposely refused to count for a number of reasons I don't care to remember

Haha. Okay, it's fine now.

[STM]

I'm rescinding all your awards. Except most annoying.

Fnarr.

[Slog Bait]

The only reason I went back and counted the votes myself is because there were a few things that stood out to me that didn't seem right.

You seemed to have mixed up abe is now! with abe619, and missed a vote for me and Nep as best couple, which could help to reduce the clutter under that category if it even matters.

Everything else seems fine, though, even with the maths errors. The winners are all the same regardless, except for a few instances where combining the Varrok-only votes would cause him to tie in a couple categories.

But do we reaaaaally want that?

Seriously though I did purposefully omit a few of those where I didn't think they were relevant, whether we're talking about the same votes though, is another story. Any way, I just suggest people enjoy it now it's done, pat each others backs and what not.

Yeah, I gotcha. I don't want to focus on it too much because that would ruin the fun.

RIGHT I TOTALLY NEED TO BRAG ABOUT WINNING BEST ODDWORLD AND NON-ODDWORLD ARTIST -STRIKES A POSE-

It's been my life goal ever since I joined the forum. I weep with joy. I am so, so proud.

You know what, I'm leaving that in. You are a winner, Nate. (Y)

[Nate]

You know what, I'm leaving that in. You are a winner, Nate. (Y)

Only two awards this year though. :(

[Phylum]

I recieved more votes in the Best Blogger category than I did in all of the others combined.

I would just like to make sure everyone saw this though.

I don't really want to insult or hurt STM, but I feel really sad and kind of disappointed by his work. I don't know which one is it.

Seriously, what the fuck Varrok?

[Nate]

Why did I win best blogger? My blogs are horrible.

I actually would have preferred not to win anything :/

Don't feel too bad. I co-won Best Couple for something I posted on January 1st in my timezone, such that it just barely qualified for eligibility in other parts of the world. Now poop guy has been preserved for the ages, when everyone would have forgotten him if they'd been forced to wait until next year to nominate us.

[Phylum]

I just feel like there are people who post genuinely interesting blogs rather than just teenage rants. I can't tell if it's meant to be a joke or something? Or a pity thing?

[STM]

It could be quality of your writing too! Also the stuff about your music and when you got into uni, those stories were great to read.

[Bullet Magnet]

I'm so weird that I win debates no one is even having.

[Nepsotic]

STM YOU STILL HAVEN'T CORRECTED THE BEST COUPLE AWARD! THAT'S MINE I TELL YOU! MIIIIIIINE. And Slog's too, I guess. Pfft.

[Job McYossie]

oh boy, won by default!

[Nate]

STM PLEASE CORRECT THE BEST COUPLE AWARD I DON'T WANT IT GIVE IT TO NEPSOTIC!!!1!

[Crashpunk]

Thanks for so many nominations!

Also for people who were around when I first joined, Did you ever think I'll get the 'most liked' award?

[Slog Bait]

You truly are an anomaly, Crashpunk.

[Oddey]

Ah yes, how time flies and people change.

Disappointed that Varrok didn't win more awards.
