I'm just doing it to add variety to the awards. I think it would be funner to see different people get them, and if one person swept the awards it could bother the people who think this is just a "my ego is bigger than yours" matter. This should just be a fun thing, not some serious event. Kind of like the 'most likely to..' awards that you vote on at the end of high school.

But what if your goal is to make Stratos feel bad?

Zap is just upset because he isn't funny, ranty or memorable enough to even get a nod in the awards :p .

Ranty? You're right but the only reason I'm not ranty is because I am so fuming mad I can't even think of something to say. The Nintendo World Report forum awards are the most self-absorbed, superficial thing I've seen since the last time Nintendo World Report displayed post counts, or the last time the Rat posted about how it's been a long time since the last time he's posted, or the last time Uncle Bob exposed himself for the world, or the last time they babblecasted about whatever the heck video game they're playing at the moment. Time and time again, Nintendo World Report forums has proven itself to be a gaggle of self-promoting yuppies. Have you ever heard the aphorism "Arguing on the internet is like competing in the special olympics..."? Well winning a forum award is like winning at Mavis Beacon, even a monkey could eventually do it; and by looking at some Funhouse threads, it seems like Planet of the Apes isn't that far off. Seriously a forum award? It didn't use to be this way. Nintendo World Report forums was once a small community of monks toiling away in anonymity, without sigs or forum 'titles', or other frills of modern foruming. Instead it was a bit like another classic movie 2001: full of long, zen-like moments of silence, punctuated by brilliant social commentary about where we are, where we're going, etc but without the fancy special effects of today. Instead we've become a Lucas/Star Wars vision of the future, with evil around every asteroid field (nongamers), lots of action and running around from planet to planet, and backstabbing each other (Mafia), the dark post-modern overtones of the emperor (mods), gray/black color palettes (HD), etc. Now I'm not saying the awards are a bad idea per se, or that I don't enjoy the action/adventure aspect of the post-modern Star Wars films and their emphasis on working together to defeat evil, it just seems like a way to legitimize long-winded posters without taking into account the other many factors involved in well-informed, text-based, video game-related discourse.

Now someone is just trying too hard... :p

All kidding, I understand where you are coming from. In the other forums that I've visited the awards always ended sour because people would take them too seriously even though its just a stupid popularity contest. Most of the time they were canceled before they even began.

But whatever, its not like either of us had a chance anywhere. Not even Rossdower could save us.

Wow, these were harder to choose than I thought, for all of them there were multiple users I wanted to choose. Except the negative categories, I actually didn't want to pick anyone for those two...

If I didn't vote for you then please accept this kiss instead!

Well I was going to leave my negative ones blank because I don't like those categories, but maybe I'll vote GP for worst poster since all she does now is pick on me.

You can choose me as "Worst Poster" since that's the one I'm hoping to win. Shouldn't the award go to somebody who actually wants it?

NWR_pap64 · « **Reply #233 on:** March 17, 2009, 08:30:31 PM »

I SHOULD BE WORST POSTER!

Why?

I defended EA... That's blasphemy right there! Give me the award and label me the devil for eternity, please!

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #234 on:** March 17, 2009, 08:32:04 PM »

I voted Pap for best Puerto Rican poster on the boards.

Considering your Birdo fetish picture you posted earlier today I might just vote for you in the worst poster category. And to think you were in the running for funniest poster...tut, tut.

Pap64 gets my vote for "Best user with the number 64 in their username".

Pretty soon DAaaMan64 is going to come in here and get all indignant.

Forum awards only create unneeded drama and fury. **** this ****.

IceCold · « **Reply #241 on:** March 18, 2009, 05:30:02 PM »

Agreed. Plus I deserve to win every category so it's a sham anyway.

Yeah, and Snipper64 will probably come in here and also contend for the title.

DAaaMan64 already has the award for "Most Terrible Username" so he doesn't really need another award.

Heh 6 of the 10 categorys I had voted for those people won.
Only 4 people voted? Thats a shame.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #245 on:** March 20, 2009, 05:45:47 PM »

Does this make me an elitist snob face now? Poor google bot, I feel sorry for it.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #246 on:** March 20, 2009, 06:12:00 PM »

This is a shame. I publically voted ZAP DOWER 2009 for best poster.

Who's this Pro?

Stratos · « **Reply #247 on:** March 20, 2009, 07:08:54 PM »

I forgot to send mine in...oops. I thought I had till today. My bad

Better luck next election season.

Woooo! Best Moderator!

I'd like to thank first and foremost the forum members, couldn't have gotten this without you.

Second, the spambots. You make my job fun. Even though you can't read my sarcastic retorts and ban messages, I still enjoy writing and posting them.

And of course I must also thank NWR for allowing me to ~~impose my will upon~~ moderate these boards.

Mop it up · « **Reply #249 on:** March 21, 2009, 12:33:10 AM »

Alright, looks like I have my work cut out for me. Tell me who sent in those other three votes so I can ~~beat them with a bat~~ bake them lovely cakes with pink and purple icing swirls to get back on their good sides.

Eight of my ten votes won! Hah! What's my prize?
