The Results of the 12th Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards

[STM]

The curtains reopen, the lights dim and the Voice of the People steps forth. Immediately the Zulag Two National Theatre is filled with rapturous applause that has nothing to do with the sudden appearance of heavily armed thugs. Yes, it is safe to say that since the deposition of Alcar, The Oddworld Forums have truly become a proletariat, democratic paradise; where everyone is free to say whatever they want and no one wants to offend their fellow comrade because it is obvious that doing so would not add to the betterment of these hallowed Zulags. Chairman Nate, our benevolent leader exercises incredible restraint, tolerance and pluralism in all his dealings with the forum. Praise be his Gloriously Gay name.

Before I announce the victors in this Social Darwinist farce we call an award ceremony, I would like to take a moment to remind you all that the governing body of The Forums greatly appreciates your patronage, that you are all appreciated and that Founding Year 16 will be one to look back upon with the fondest memories. Please note that members who cannot attend to receive their prize have not been purged, despite rumours; anyone spreading such crass lies will be purged immediately.

And that wraps up another award ceremony. This year I actually won an award which I am happy for, even if I have to share it. Let it be known that when I usurp control of ownership I will make sure you all pay a heavy price…err, I mean, well done to everyone and thanks to those who voted: Manco, Varrok, Vexen, Job, Phylum, STM, OANST, Jordan, MAAA THE COWS HAVE ESCAPED, Crashpunk, AlfShallRise, MM, Holysock, Nepsotic, OjA, Havoc, That’s 16 people, even less than last time. Fuck me you guys are shit I do this thing every year and for what gratitude what a farce, never again, very bad.

Honourable mention goes to Holy Sock who apparently really is the most forgettable, as I forgot to bestow upon him this award!

See you next year suckers!

[Nepsotic]

Excellent, I won again. I don't really understand how I've changed though.

I call the award thread for next year!

[Varrok]

Hey, I won something!

I fully support Nep's decision of hosting the next year's awards.

[Vlam]

Good work "chaps".

[Varrok]

Congratulations to Holy Sock for winning in the most prestigious of unofficial OWF Poster Awards category. (the only unofficial one) Your actions have proven you worthy of the title of this year's Best Varrok. You're also the Best Dude!

[FrustratedAssassin]

Hey look I won something!

[Varrok]

You've won Job!

[Alf Shall Rise]

Congratulations, everyone! You did it! Proud of you all!

[Crashpunk]

Oh wow. Most liked!

That's genuinely surprising. Thank you all so much.

[Havoc]

Consolidating his power after toppling the tyrannical Max the Mug, Wil claims the award for the Greatest Oddworld Knowledge for the third year running, well done to him!

Well... this is awkward. Who's going to tell him, guys?

[STM]

Insinuating Max the Mug is the same person as Wil is punishable by being locked in a room with Wil. Naked.

[Nepsotic]

Max the Mug is the same person as Wil.

[STM]

Ooh shit, if you'd insinuated that you'd be in serious trouble.

[Varrok]

I think he wanted it to happen

[Wil]

Thank you to all the people, naked or otherwise, who voted for me, especially whoever it was reckoning I'd make a nifty mascot for this place. I'd like to accept my award, but unfortunately there is no such thing as ownership.

[FrustratedAssassin]

I'd like to accept my award, but unfortunately there is no such thing as ownership.

Comrade Wil, is there something you're hiding from us?

[Job McYossie]

You've won Job!

Have you seen me? That is a fantastic reward.

[Phylum]

Not on single fucking award? It's rigged, I tell you.

[Manco]

The award for most fucking will be in next year’s contest.

[Varrok]

But he meant the single fucking award

[Holy Sock]

I for one would like to see more Socks nominated in the future. Or perhaps more opportunities should be made available for Socks to demonstrate their equal talent in all things Forum.

[Havoc]

The award for most fucking will be in next year’s contest.

Oh that's gonna be an easy win for me then.

[Varrok]

Tigers don't count.

[STM]

Oh that's gonna be an easy win for me then.

Hohohoh, dear sweet Havoc, you have never met my nympho girlfriend. Jesus Christ am I sore down there all day everyday.

[Havoc]

Tigers don't count.

It does not specify anything about WHAT the fucking needs to be done with, good sir.

And STM, don't be so confident in me never having met your girlfriend. There's a reason I'm so confident in winning it next year.

[Varrok]

I'm just saying that tigers are unable to count things. It needed to be said.

[Wil]

Comrade Wil, is there something you're hiding from us?

Fret not, the misfortune is that only of the award's. I possess no secrets, as this too is impossible.

[MA]

holy shit thanks for the awards guys. and congratulations to everyone else who grabbed one!

PS: Holy Sock is a cool dude

[enchilado]

I don't have time for all this reading. Someone just tell me everything I won.
