GW Awards 2007
So it's that time of the year again, it's time for the annual GW Awards. I, Lord Spillsbury, will be hosting the awards this year.
So, myself and the team have been working on a list of categories for the 2007 awards, most if not all of the previous years awards have made it over, and there are a few from the 2005 awards that didn't make Drule and co's cut.
Anyway, the categories are as follows:
Staff
- Best administrator
- Worst administrator
- Best moderator
- Worst moderator
Community
- Best member
- Best new member
- The Rift award (Best IRC user)
- The Malibus award (Best IRC op)
- Funniest member
- Worst member
- Member who thinks he/she is funny but isn't
- Most friendly
- Most creative
- Most helpful
- Best topic-maker
- Biggest jerk
- Best debater
- Best avatar (GIVE EXAMPLE)
Creativity
- Best Gamemaker
- Best Composer
- Best Artist
- Best Filmmaker (http://www.gamingw.net/forums/index.php?topic=1785.0)
- Best Writer/Poet
What do you do next? Send your nominations to this account via PM.
Remember, to be up for Best New Member, the nomination needs to have joined in 2007. Try to give an actual example of the best avatar, considering it's pretty hard to keep track of them all. Everything else should be self-explanatory.
Feel free to discuss certain award related discussions in this topic.
Nominations will be open until 1st January 2008
-
I call dibs on Worst Member.
-
yes.... YES.... finally. I wait MONTHS for the chance to tell members how much i love/hate them in an OFFICIAL manner
also Winners should get that awesome black custom title color for a week.
edit: where's most friendly :(((
-
lord spillsbury for every category
-
Worst Member should get some horrible color and be placed in the group "Worst Member 2007" for at least a year.
-
Rad, this is always fun.
-
edit: where's most friendly :(((
I see it man.
-
oh haha
STRONGEST PRESCRIPTION GLASSES - ASE
P.S. It isn't very fair that members who join in the last couple months of a year have a very slim chance of winning "New Member" awards. For example, someone who joins in November 2006 isn't eligible for these GW Awards 2007 and had no chance of winning in 2006 because he only had a month to make posts and prove like-able.
I propose that you extend the range for "Best New Member" to be October 2006 - Present.
-
oh hooray its the Fogets!
-
I don't even have to say it
EDIT:
I meant fatty best member 2007 in case you were wondering
-
also someone should make a list of new active members of 2007... :(
-
There should be a best shitty image above avatar award.
-
what about
best signature
best dramatic performance
best Doom episode 1 speedrunner
conspiracy theorist award
-
what about best admin who thought it would be funny to put this guy in my special jester-only member group >
-
that member group is spelt correctly
-
conspiracy theorist award
The best candidate for this no longer posts here.
Hints: Jews, 9/11, Ron Paul

-
Just to clarify for all you wallies out there that we are introducing a new category due to popular demand (note: admin pressure).
So there is now a Worst Admin category, so if you've already voted just send another PM and I'll add it to the total or just vote normally when I update the topic!
Bosh.

(I wanted to put myself in Biggest Jerk but I haven't been trying hard enough :()
-
Seriously, worst admin?
idk everyone hates the admins this year and it seems like more of a chance to pick on impeal. A little to easy imo. I think we should stick with BEST admin (probably Rowain still, maybe DS because he tries his best to mediate and address issues) because that's a little more challenging and whoever wins it truly does deserve it.
-
aren't yuan shu and dangerousned both steel though
and feh...feh was also steel but i didnt include him
3 of the ~40 active new members are steel accounts WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT STATE OF THE GW: XXX
edit: + one's a nazi + a couple others are banned i think
-
cough alucardworstmemebr cough

cough alucardworstmemebr cough
Actually every time I see these INSANELY CLEVER posts I think "+1 point for Member who thinks he/she is funny but isn't"
-

baker and fred wallace were New Too this year :)

yeah, I agree. regardless of what I'd choose to vote, I'm not looking forward to IMPEAL HATEFEST
-
Where's the Best Badmin category????
-
he was i...am...godp too I'm pretty sure
no way dude that was not him
i always thought that was godpuppet but hey what do i know
edit: well then again maybe it was but the GODP always made me think it was godpuppet for some reason MAYBE THAT WAS THE POINT
-
why does everyone pick on impeal :(
-
most founding fatheresque: guess who??
what about an award for Perpetual Acquaintance or something ( I suck at titles ), IE someone you always see posting but no one knows who the hell it is
-
Where's "sexiest member"?
-
Mmm, where is Trujin these days?
-
Seriously, worst admin?
Drule was asking for it (jokingly maybe though I dunno) and I just let Lord Spillsbury know. I dunno, I don't mind having it if people want to have it. I don't think we really need worst mod either but since we have that, I think it's at least logical to have both.
Also guys, I think you are supposed to send the nominations to Spillsbury and not post them here.

07:25:09: man
07:25:12: do me just one favor
07:25:15: go to the gw award topic
07:25:55: and say that the reason I have like six accounts is because people keep banning my other ones, no one unbanned trystero ever (in fact i got two bans on it @_@), and i don't keep the passwords for anything that isn't trystero!
07:26:21: basically im lazy but it would help if I could have been unbanned to begin with I guess!
-
Where is Steel these days? I can't follow all the ban evading.
He came back with imdabestposter this morning, before that he had stopped posting for a month due to being banned
-
Can someone just unfucking ban him? I feel like we're missing a piece of history like when Alexander left or we perma banned Dr Funk.

The ban on dangerousned was supposed to have expired by now.
-
The ban on dangerousned was supposed to have expired by now.
It did, but he doesn't have the PASSWORD for it, as he said.
-
It did, but he doesn't have the PASSWORD for it, as he said.
yeah he would login to dangerousned but he cant even reset the password because it sends it to a temporary e-mail account that expired a few months ago
I don't think I've ever had so much trouble picking BEST NEW MEMBER / BEST MEMBER as I am having this year. I asked Santa for a better GW for X-mas and it didnt happen.
-
Maybe he could use the same password for all of his accounts? Sounds like he's making poor excuses.
-
Keep sending your nominations chaps!
-
Steel could just ask us to give him a new password whenever he's on IRC. :(
-
Steel was banned? Where was I? Haha.
-
yeah seriously he could fix dangerousned if he wanted, he doesnt get any new accounts sorry keep steel discussion away from this topic thanks
-
I've had a single set of nominations in 2-3 days. Time is running out so get your nominations in.
Don't let Uncle Spillsbury down chaps.
-
most founding fatheresque: guess who??
what about an award for Perpetual Acquaintance or something ( I suck at titles ), IE someone you always see posting but no one knows who the hell it is
We can't have that award, because I would win it nearly immediately, and there'd be no fun in that. There has to be competition here :tsk:
-
YO DUDES I SENT MY NOMINATIONS IN LAST NIGHT
We better have at least 20 nominations or I'll be pissssseedddd if there's nothing to choose from when voting time comes around. I want to see a huge list of members for every category so I can say OH SHIT HAHAHA WHO NOMINATED HIM instead of ONLY THREE NOMINEES FOR WORST MEMBER? WHAT THE *FUCKI*G

The person who nominated the most winners or the person who got the most votes for their nominations could get the "GW Insider Award" or something.
-
Most unhelpfull:jeff
I don't think I have ever been nominated for this before.
Also, you spelled "unhelpful" incorrectly.
Worst admin:impeal
Not to mention you completely lose for this.
-

Last day to send in your nominations. The first topic will come tomorrow (hopefully).

Oh yeah guys... don't forget about former mods when sending in your nominations (Adeline, angry black man, bazookatooth, BunnyMilk, Dada, Fade, HybridZero, jhelpme, Kaworu, kermit the toad, konix, LORd, Sol, Summoner, etc) or former Admins (Rowain, Jester, Hiret) or former members (SEE PREVIOUS PAGE)

If people have forgotten about them then they probably shouldn't be voting for them. Your nominations should be for people who STICK OUT IN YOUR MIND and if none of those people do, then...
I don't deny people forget things, but yeah.
Although that's just my opinion, I guess.

well I wasn't talking about forgetting about people's EXISTANCE, just that it's quite easy to forget that such and such member switched positions from mod to premium or whatever. Like, you can think "oh yeah Kaworu is my least favorite member OH SHIT he was a mod for a few months (*changes worst mod nomination to Kaworu*)
or even for other categories too
-
1) why do people keep posting their nominations in the topic
2) when will the results be out (it doesnt say in first post)

yeah this
sorry, I just went through the GWWiki page on GW moderators and looked through the old (Feb, May, July) revisions to see who used to be on the list but is no longer on the list. You stopped being General mod so I instinctively just added you to the parenthetical citation.
-
I think it's interesting to see nominations, I'd like to see if I was ever nominated for anything.
-
1) why do people keep posting their nominations in the topic
you can't take away my freedom of speech :fogetguns:
-
wow who nominated me for best new member because that's some sweet shit (also whaaaaat)
Either someone who doesn't know you're really Adeline, or someone who nominated you so he doesn't have to vote for any of the real new members.
-
someone who nominated you so he doesn't have to vote for any of the real new members.
bill from accounting said it was this
-
Can I send in nominations? I've been sorta away and I have some for the lesser voted categories.
Also mad props for having best composer.
-
Nah, it's too late. We've basically done all of the awards already. :(
This topic should be locked so people realise voting is over
-
Nah, it's okay as it is imo, seeing since the topics get pretty much automatically sent to the awesome topics noone gets to comment on them if they want.
-
I meant nominations, not voting, sorry.
-

-
Congratulations to all of the winners this year.

I don't deserve this.

Grats winners!
-
