Just notice me!

OANST 02-11-2016 12:22 PM

You've been added to my awards list!

Holy Sock 02-11-2016 12:25 PM

:D Added you to mine.

STM 02-11-2016 12:25 PM

In a category you won't win because you're not unremarkable enough.

OANST 02-11-2016 12:32 PM

Added you again!

Alf Shall Rise 02-11-2016 12:34 PM

Added you two to mine!

OANST 02-11-2016 12:36 PM

Now these are what I call awards!

Holy Sock 02-11-2016 12:38 PM

You guys are the best!

OANST 02-11-2016 12:40 PM

It's true. We really are.

Varrok 02-11-2016 12:46 PM

You're all best Varroks to me.

It's a shame I could vote only for one.

Crashpunk 02-11-2016 01:04 PM

Holy Sock's a cool dude.

It says so in my awards post.

Varrok 02-11-2016 01:14 PM

It says so in my post as well.

FrustratedAssassin 02-11-2016 02:00 PM

It would say that in mine too but I don't have one

Phylum's got an interesting job, it's not quite as interesting as Nate's job because he's part of the system. Phylum is part of the corporation. He'd probably do well seeing as he's sat in bed all day. He'll be able to see everything.

Mac Sirloin (I'm sure he posted a blog quite recently). There are certain people who's blogs I always look forwards to reading, but Kastirloin has a particularly idiosyncratic way with words which is just compelling.

Greatest Debater
OANST? Can't think of any recent meaningful debates. Thought he was articulate in the Justin Bieber Body Double thread, but maybe that's just because I agreed with him...

Paul? Haven't been keeping up to date, so he's the only name that comes to mind to be honest.

Most Insular Member
Splat's so insular he's been absorbed by Fan Corner never to be seen again, outside OR in...



Funniest Poster
MA never fails to make me crack a smile.

Most Unintentionally Funny Poster
Vlam, you're just such an angry little man!

Most Meaningful Poster
MA, maybe, because I know he's been through more than his fair share of shit (not just cow shit), and I feel like anyone who goes through shit and has a story to tell and wisdom to bestow deserves to be revered to some degree. Although I can think of a few people, though, depends on your definition of "meaningful".

Most Underrated Poster
Havoc. He posts regularly (I think), thereby helping keep the place alive, and I don't remember him saying anything that's irked me for quite a long time

Best Advice Giver
OANST maybe? He's seen hard times, he's got responsibilities (wife, children, etc), I can't specifically think of any recent advice, but I'd happily listen to his perspective on quite a few matters.

Phylum. I could put a dozen names here, to be honest, some of which I've nominated for other categories, but Phylum's a good, open lad, and it seems like there's no-one who doesn't have time for him.

Vlam. Calm down a bit, hopefully you'll mellow out a bit after a couple more years and you'll realise there are bigger concerns than driving away JAW people

Nep. You seem to be growing up a bit, and it seems like perhaps you're becoming a bit less insular and slightly more outgoing. Still seem a bit aggressive and disdainful, though, there's nothing wrong with being opinionated, but maybe you could be a bit more flexible and willing to listen to others. But I don't know, maybe that's unfair, I don't really know how you are.

Most Stoic
Vlam has taken some stick (which he has thoroughly brought upon himself), but even though he isn't proving too popular, he sticks around and seems almost indifferent to the dismay he causes everyone (even though sometimese he does seem to get a little defensive and hot under the collar)

Most Valuable Poster (MVP)
STM, for his efforts to try and resuscitate the forums. To be fair, quite a few people made quite a few contributions with regards to that, but STM started the thread that sparked that whole discussion. And we seem to be a bit more active recently, too, even if we aren't getting new members.

Nepsotic 02-14-2016 05:52 PM

Yeah I've gotta at least give vlam props for the sheer amount of fucks he doesn't give. Gotta respect that.

OANST 02-15-2016 06:55 AM

It does sort of take the fun out of fucking with him, doesn't it?

Prick.

Scrabaniac 02-15-2016 11:20 AM

I think it's safe to say that vlam is going to win at least 1 award..

i agree with your reasoning. i was going to vote him for Most Stoic based on all the shit we've given him throughout the years. i used to be so hateful and unforgiving (which i feel rotten about), but i've matured now. i can honestly say if Havoc stopped posting i would miss his tiger-loving hide. he's a part of the community.

Nepsotic 02-15-2016 12:03 PM

Tigers are cool

OANST 02-15-2016 12:20 PM

I remember hooking up with Havoc on XBox Live maybe four or five years ago. Instead of playing a game, as I kept asking if he wanted to do, he spent like twenty minutes talking about what a dick I am. I kept laughing it off, and telling him "Hey, that's the interwebs for you," but it seemed like a topic that was occupying his mind to the point of distraction. Eventually, we just shut down the chat without ever starting a game of anything.

Uhm, are you sure that was me? Because I don't remember that conversation ever taking place... At least not the calling you a dick part. And if I did, it was meant as a joke, I think. Hm. :fuzconf:

And, aw shucks guys I love you all too.

OANST 02-16-2016 10:45 AM

It was you! And it went on for like twenty minutes, but that's okay! I was more of a dick back then.

Havoc 02-16-2016 10:58 AM

Now, as for my votes which I thought long and hard about (sortof... not really, making this up as I go)!

Calling you a dick, sure. Calling you a dick for 20 minutes straight, does not sound like me at all. I do remember my GF at the time was bitching at me so maybe I was calling her a dick.

OANST 02-16-2016 11:15 AM

Actually, I also remember your girlfriend bitching at you while it was happening. I can't figure out where I set my glasses down at, but that I remember.

Havoc 02-16-2016 11:19 AM

Good times.

Varrok 02-16-2016 11:23 AM

His tiger girlfriend?

STM 02-16-2016 11:38 AM

She's a lioness, they're a very modern couple but face much ostracism from the community.
