Insert your opinions here (OWF awards)

Lets just be sure not to limit applicable awards to people who have posted pics, which would automatically disqualify a large portion of participants and automatically qualify me for best hair.

My hair totally beats yours, just wait for the Forum Awards sir.

[Pilot]

While you do have awesome curly hair that sends the ladies swooning, the position is relative to what the voters think are good qualities that hair should have.

Meh.

Which begs the question what is "good" hair? No hair?

[Bullet Magnet]

Wil, help me out on this one.

[Pilot]

I've got one, how about member 'Most Frequently Present'? Does the database have stats like that?

[Wil]

It’s certainly an idea to hand out awards based on statistics such as ‘Highest poster of 2008’ or ‘Most frequently present’, but assuming no ties there can only ever be one recipient of each award, because each title comes with a winner whose superiority in that field is matter of look-upable fact. The awards are really about voting on your fellow members for more subjective awards. Still, if Peter were to give me database access I’d be more than happy to dish out some stats-based honours.

Categories should also focus on users and their contribution to the Forums. ‘Best hair’ has nothing to do with posting here. Besides, Bullet Magnet would win ‘Best hair’ because he has the best hair. That is in your precious database, sirs.

[Strike Witch]

Most likely to swear repeatedly about European members-of-government?

Person who never gets the joke?

Best change-of-heart?

Best 'Awwww' post?

Captain Cockblock?

[shaman]

most random comment?

funniest post?

worst attitude?

best attitude?

[Kimon]

I would like to point out that there is still no list in the first post.

[Wings of Fire]

Probably because all of these suggestions suck.

[Bullet Magnet]

Best blog.
Best blog entry.
Best blog commenter.

And variations of the theme. We have blogs now, and unlike the new rep system we can actually give awards based on them that we couldn't have before.

[Wil]

Best Blog has already made the final list of awards. The second two suggestions probably won't because there are so many that there's little chance of any voted entry/comment not being both joint first and joint last.

[Bullet Magnet]

What if there are nominations?

[Wil]

Then there’s the issue of whether all categories become nominate-vote, or whether the nominations take place while the non-nomination categories are being voted upon, or whether there are nominations that take place before all the voting.

There’s also the issue of all the hassle. We could try it, see how the effort compares to the outcome, and judge its worthiness for future Awardses.

[Nate]

Speaking of which, this is from an IM with Max just yesterday:

(22:30:40) nate: I wanted to post in the Awards thread "Most likely to come up with a list of absurd and ridiculous suggested awards"
(22:30:45) nate: But I'm too nice

[mitsur]

I'm just hoping Wolfpac will appear from nowhere and give us some awards.

By golly, I miss that guy.

[Munch's Master]

I agree. I miss Wolfpac too.

Most times left/returned

I'm probably close to this one, what with my past habit of vanishing every 4 or 5 months. Not a good thing.

[OANST]

Are we about ready to do this thing?

[stonetooth]

Three ideas, don't know if they are already categories or whatnot

Best Oddworld Roleplay creator

Best Oddworld roleplayer

Best Oddworld RPG character

Dream on. I've been leaving and comin' back before you even registered.

Ask everyone who's been here since 2002. I've left and came crawling back so many times I should be a mascot for People Who Have Trouble Letting Go Of The Past.

Well...maybe I forgot about you with your constant disappearing acts, ex-Officer Feelgood?



Although how could I forget someone with such smooth hands and entrancing photos?

[OANST]

I won an award for most missed member here years and years ago.

I've had my share of exits. Although, a few of them were a ruse to create a multi.
