Live from the Mudos Theatre in Oddywood! It's the 7th Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards! Please welcome your host for this evening, legitimate multi and abstract representation of the moderating staff, Wired!
Hi folks! It's really great to have you here tonite for this very special ceramony. Until now, the awards have been excellently produced by our own Wolfpac, whose sense of community and humor made the event's becoming an annual institution a happy inevitability. Now that he's moved on from the role the awards have been "nationalized", their responsibility subsumed by the forum staff. We also invited suggestions from the posters themselves for the first time in a while, which has resulted in the first change to the line up of categories since 2004. And it's with great pride I use this moment to introduce that line up:

Procedure and Rules
So whadaya do now? You need to vote for which member (or members) you feel is most deserving of each award, either posting them here or sending them privately to me by email or PM. Don't vote for yourself, don't submit more than one set of votes, and don't tell other people to vote for you if you don't want me to remove your elagibility to win anything!
To some this may seem like a popularity contest but it's all done in the name of good honest fun. Don't feel bad if you don't get voted for something or anything: the awards bestow no tangeable benefit on the winners. Except for awesomeness.
Voting starts right away and will continue for 3 weeks so the results will be posted on 14 March. Don't post updates of who's winning what and how many votes such-and-such person has. There's nothing to stop you ruining the suspense for yourself by counting public votes but don't be a party pooper and spoil it for others, y'jerk.
“I always believe the movies I've made are smarter than the way they are perceived by sort of mass culture and by the critics,” Snyder said, a statement he immediately followed by saying, “Also, ‘It looks like a video game.’

Edit: I changed my vote for Mascot to Ghost. When I realized that I had jilted her of any nominations I became enraged. I enjoy reading her posts too much for that.
But I still refuse to call you Stranger's Wrath or whatever the fuck you renamed yourself.

Most of the newbies I interact with are in RPG, and that is a very bad place to meet newcomers.

Good grief, so many to choose... All those mods to pick from... (man, I'm too cynical today. I knew I should have done this before checking RPG. Might edit in a day or two)

Somewhere along the way he went from my Most Annoying to my MVP. It might have been when he pointed out what a goit I am to the newbies.
As I said, might edit sometime soon when I'm not feeling so bitter.
Question: What are the paramaters for newbie set at? Anonyman and Glaciedragon both joined before the last forum awards and if they qualify I shall be changing my votes.

Clarification for all: 'Best Newcomer', just like all the other awards, refers to the year 2008. Thus, anyone who joined last year is eligible for the award.
