The Nukies! - Nominations
 
Well NPF, you've chosen the categories, now its time to fill the candidate slots!

You get to put forth one name for each category. If you put multiple names in I will only add the first one listed. If that name hasn't been put forth before (you're the first person to nominate that poster) I put it under the category unbolded, mostly as a placeholder.

If you put forth a name that's already been nominated, I bold the name under the category and that name is an official choice on the voting list. You don't have to say "I second", it's assumed that you agree with the previous nomination just by putting the same name up.

After a name has been nominated and seconded it's already secured a spot on the final list, so any additional people who put the same name forward aren't contributing anything new to the list.

To make everything as keen as possible, I'm going to ask that each poster only make one post in this thread.

Furthermore, for my convenience if nothing else, have your nominations in a format similar to this:

Category - Nomination

Don't nominate yourself, or your comic, or your RP, or anything that is related to you or your achievments personally. Nominate who you feel is the best non-you poster for the category.

If you don't want your nominations known to the public, you can PM them to me.

Everybody has an equal right to nominate and vote in this. No one person has more of a 'share' in the forum than the other, especially in something like this where it's entirely personal opinion. You might think that you don't participate enough to 'qualify', but surely you have your own opinions on who would be appropiate for at least some of the categories right? You shouldn't feel like you need to abstain, nay, deny your nominations from the ceremony. However small you feel in regards to the community is irrelevant, because in this thread you, and your votes and your opinions, are as important and valid as anyone else's.

These are the awards of the Nuklear Power Forums. Your forums. BE PROUD!

Nominations end Friday, June 16, 2006.

Posted by Krylo, originally, and he got it from Madhatter. Not sure who the nomination goes to.

Edit: I second, third, fourth, and fifth Skweeb for artist. His stuff is fun to look at, most of the time. :D

Arlia Janet 06-08-2006 12:11 AM

Nominations in no particular order.

"Most Helpful" has to fall under rules? There are a lot of helpful people in this forum.
Zweihander is definitely super helpul in the Computer Help Thread. And I nominate him for Most Helpful.

I second CroTeam for writer. He is the e e cummings of our time, after all.

It's only fair that I nominate Sky Warrior Whatever-my-last-name-is-this-week for spriter.

Poet- RaiRai

Artists-
CelesJessa
Grandmaster_Skweeb
ZutsuJin

Webcomic.
Is it fair to nominate Brian since this is a forum dedicated to readers of his webcomic?


Highschool Starship by Nique. Is it still updating?

Finding Meister (no link) by Mauve Mage

lolwebcomic by scottmale24.

Fortuna Saga by ... I guess me for the time being.

BEST RP: (The Original) Final Fantasy RP, for both its multitude of good times and the begninning of the immensely popular Omake Thread trend. It was the first, ya know. Run by Ecurt, by the way.

GO BEARS!

Best Grammar/Spelling - Off of the top of my head, I might say Synk, but maybe Lucis? I mean, his posts confuse me. And have good grammar. And have big words.

CallmePrismatic 06-08-2006 07:32 AM

Best Picture doesn't recognize original poster in the awards, just the picture itself (This doesn't mean you can nominate a picture you originally posted).

Remember people, one nomination per category. If you have more I'm going to ignore that category until you narrow down your selection.

At 162nd reply, that would be page 5.

I nominate The Wandering God for best mafia player, for his performance in SoL Mafia in which he made nearly every role target him at once.

I nominate Rhiya for best RPer for her blast of chaos in the most recent avvy rp.

EDIT THE FIRST: I nominate Forever Zero for coolest name

Edit the second:

RickZarber 06-08-2006 09:32 AM

I'd also like to second (so--third?) CroTeam for writer, and second ZJ for artist, KP for Wing-Wonger, and Mauve Mage's Finding Meister for NPF comic.

And I'd like to nominate Grandmaster_Skweeb for Coolest Name

CT's SPATCHCOCK for Best Catchphrase

and Chicago¤Lollie's SOoO animation (though incomplete) for Coolest Video Link.

And that's all for now, I think...

............I'm not sure that's a GOOD thing...honestly...

He got EVERYONE to think he was worth killing and one person to think he was worth protecting, which ended up being a BAD thing. It's a negative thing and a splendid event, but does that make him good? No. (Not saying he's bad, just not seeing your logic here)

Also, performance in one game honestly shouldn't be the determining factor for a mafia candidate.

Dj_StarChild 06-08-2006 09:50 AM

Well, since I haven't seen a nomination for this one yet, I guess I'll throw one in:

Most Legendary off-topic thread:Epic Battles: The Musical

Okay, I know it's not that legendary...but I think it deserves recognition :)

some might argue that the camwhore thread is more legendary, but...we've got a best picture award, so...why bother?

edit: actually, now that I look....it seems to have fallen off the face of NPF's planet.

He isn't active much anymore, but still, coolest name, not most active.

Patrat 06-08-2006 10:46 AM

I nominate this avatar as the best avatar. Not becuase it was MINE, but becuase I received about 5 reps for it. I'm assuming that best avatar works like best picture? Anyway, if not then kindly disregard it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...kworkBunny.gif

CallmePrismatic 06-08-2006 10:49 AM

Squishy I'm not going to add that Character because it's your creation. Remember, only nominate someone/something that isn't you/yours.

@Newb: Please, for my sanity, keep all your nominations in one...wait a tick...

@EVERYONE: From now on, I will only add nominations from the first post you make. I don't want to sound like a whiny bitch, but I already have to check every page of the thread for new nomination-edit/updates and I don't want to have to check multiple posts over and over. So from now on I'm only going to add nominations from the first post each poster makes in this thread, assuming that there aren't multiple nominations *cough*Arlia Janet, sk3L3t0n*cough*.

@Patrat: You nominate a poster for best Avatar, not the Avatar itself.

Well seeing as it's only June 8th and not June 11th, when nominations end, I'd wager it's not too late. Edit it in all further nominations to that post if you want them to be registered.

Wolf99x 06-08-2006 04:21 PM

Best RP: Cyber Wars 1 (technically i only co-ran it when batgirl was indisposed, it was not my creation, therefore i'm allowed to second the nomination)

Best RP GM (best runner?) batgirl

Best character (since Squishy can't nominate his own character): Coyote: Cyber Wars

PyrosNine 06-08-2006 04:52 PM

Except for the fact it reads like Pee-Nine.

Holy taco salad, I can't believe I haven't seen this thread. And the weird thing is, I had thought about an Oscars type thing for the RP forums just a few days ago, briefly. Okay...

CallmePrismatic 06-11-2006 01:17 PM

Hmm...so 24 people throwing out there nominations on a forum of 5800-ish (yes I know there aren't 5796 active-all-the-time posters, just going for the dramatic). Is this one of those ideas that everybody likes but not enough to actively participate, or should I just add some more time for rumination and such? Basically, is there any point in extending the deadline or should I just let this die as is?

Flarecobra 06-11-2006 01:29 PM

Well, How many of that number are actually ACTIVE? You have to keep that in mind.

CallmePrismatic 06-11-2006 01:31 PM

Well, at least 90 people have posted in the Corrupted Wish Game, and that's been up for only a month, so I'd say there has to be at least 100+ active people in the past month or so.

More than 24 at the very least.

Let it go a couple days longer, I'm hoping someone will nominate me for a quote that isn't erotic self-insertion Star Trek fan-fiction.

On a less self-absorbed note, yeah, people probably just need a couple days to think of noms.

PS: Is it too late to add awards? I totally thought there was supposed to be a 'best thread ideas' or something like that in there. Under, I don't know, Off Topic, or Discussion or something like that. Oh yeah, and Videogames could have a slot for Most Convincing Fanboy. Also, it'd be hella easier to nominate threads if they were just "Best [random forum] Thread," instead of "Most Legendary." I mean I'm sitting here thinking, well, I really liked that Off-Topic Question & Answer thread, but would I call it legendary? It's kind of a high standard to reach. Oh yeah, howsabout a 'Most Likeable Forumer'? Maybe a 'Best New Member'?

ANYWAY

I totally nominate this for best NPFer comic.

Wrong on every conceivable level, and yet inexplicably compelling.

I think a deadline of, lets say Friday should be enough. Any longer and it'll cut into my freshmen year of college.

Snip about new Ballot entries
There was a Ballot Nomination thread. You posted in it twice. That aside, a lot of the nominations are based mostly on semantic wording that's personal for different posters. If you want to read 'Legendary' as 'Best' or whatnot I'm not stopping you.
Quote:

ANYWAY

Added. But, now we get to another problem...maybe an example of what I'm talking about will make more sense.

As it stands, if I cut off the nominations today as originally planned, the voting template statistics would appear as such:
Number of Starting Categories: 46
Number of Categories with Nominations: 35
Number of default winners (categories with only one bolded nomination): 17
Number of Dead Categories (no bolded nominations): 14
Number of Categories we'd actually end up voting for: 4

What does that tell us...I don't know. People shouldn't be afraid to agree with past nominations perhaps in order to second? People need to nominate in more categories? Once somebody is bolded (nominated + seconded) they don't have to be nominated again and again (Read: nominate different people)? I don't know, just something I thought I should point out.

Bailey 06-11-2006 05:19 PM

Maybe you should just make non-bolded nominations count too in the dead categories that still remain on Friday.

Also, in best comic, bold Mauve


I'm seconding her.

Krylo 06-11-2006 05:38 PM

If you're still accepting...

I second:

Most Helpful - Swibz (Sky Warrior Bob, for you heathenites)
Best Grammar - Synk, Shiney (grammar nazi FTW), and Lucis all (really, I can't think of that many people who couldn't win this)
Coolest Name - KP (Kneumatic Pnight)
NPFer of the Year - Fifthfiend
Best Quote - Furry Fifthfiend
Most Erudite - Mirai Gen AND Dasanudas
Master Debator - Locke and Arch
Best Poet - Funka Genocide
Best NPF Comic - Mauve Mage (and, indeed, the only light in a bleek pit of dark despair, in jokes, bad writing, and horrible humor)
Best Game Runner - CMP (though I've never played, everyone else enjoys Mafia, and it IS your fault)
Best RPer - TBM, CMP, and AB
Best RP -FFRP 1 (It was my first forum RP, after all. That alone should make it eligible for greatness)
Best RP Runner - Is it possible to DEnominate? Because, I really enjoy being up there and all. It's an honor. But, seriously, I don't think I've had an RP last past a chapter. I MUST be doing SOMETHING wrong...

I nominate

Best Signature - Everyone who has me quoted. You all know who you are... fill in your names here. I'm so goddamn awesome that you're all eligible in my books.

Best Signature - As above, but with Fifthfiend instead of me.

Most Legendary Off Topic Thread - That one where CT was writing NPFer songs. I can't be bothered to find the title. You all know what I mean.

Most Erudite - DarthZeth

Most Erudite - SithlordRagnos

Master Debator - DarthZeth

Best RP Runner - Ecurt

Hopefully that'll clear up one of your problems at least.

I originally wasn't going to do anything but sit back and watch this thread, as that I'm not good at comparing people to other people (plus you won't allow me to nominate myself, and you KNOW I deserve to win all of them), but as that you're having trouble with this all right now, I thought I'd lend a hand, and my (in)valued opinion.

Solid Snake 06-11-2006 06:12 PM

[EDIT]
Yeah, sorry. I was in a bitter mood, one of those moods in which every potential slight is percieved as an insult.

Oh, come on. We've all been there.

Mesden 06-11-2006 07:06 PM

(Edit) Oh, of course. I was in one the other day. Been like that for nearly a month now, actually. Just letting it eek into a casual thread with the view of elitist concerns is a bit...alright, a LOT too serious for this thing.

I did my duty in addressing you! Now, go make a discussion thread next time you want to bring up elitist stuff and junk. I'll be there just because.

synkr0nized 06-11-2006 07:35 PM

I don't consider myself active enough in this community to make appropriate nominations. Many of the ones here seem reasonable, though.

However, I do wholeheartedly thank you for the recognition my few posts have garnered such that I've received nominations. I appreciate that.

Mintaro 06-11-2006 08:07 PM

I think extending the deadline would be good, also I'm sure there are people who arn't aware this thread is around. maybe send out some PMs?

Also I have a couple catagories I would like to see as well but I was just going to wait until next time to suggest them, Assuming there is a next time. They're pretty good ones too.

Well Krylo, Mime and myself Nominated you for the way you ran Terra, Because it really wasn't your fault it failed. It was simply that everyones story line became dependant on a single RPer who failed to update. It is how a lot of RP's end up sadly.

Also as to the elitest discussion. TheBlindMime is a Darkhorse, He dosn't take part in too many threads outside RP and as far as I know has only stepped into the 8-bit chat once. And look at all his nominations lol.

Oh come on, with that attitude you're on the same level as Solid Snake, except worse because you're adding a "Oh, what would my little old vote matter."-mentality.

Everybody has an equal right to nominate and vote in this. No one person has more of a 'share' in the forum than the other, especially in something like this where it's entirely personal opinion. You might think that you don't participate enough to 'qualify', but surely you have your own opinions on who would be appropiate for at least some of the categories right? You shouldn't feel like you need to abstain, nay, deny your nominations from the ceremony. However small you feel in regards to the community is irrelevant, because in this thread you, and your votes and your opinions, are as important and valid as anyone else's.

These are the awards of the Nuklear Power Forums. Your forums. BE PROUD!

(This post works great if you can imagine my avatar pacing back and forth in front of a horizon-consuming waving [YOUR COUNTRY] flag)

I mean, what about us long-time veterans who actually have places to go and things to do? There should be a "Coolest User You Don't Really Know As Well You Should" award. I'd win that.

Just because I have a relatively tiny post count doesn't mean I'm not every bit as cool as the rest of you!

...ah, if only I had Fifthfiend's rapier wit, so I could conjure a hysterical line to end my rants with.

Just say something about cocks. Works every time.

But nah, I mean, look at it like this, yeah, I have awards nominations, but on the other hand, you have places to go and things to do. I mean seriously, you want to trade, just say the word.

But nah, I got carried away there, I think I only started out meaning to throw in like one suggestion and then it snowballed. Should've paid more attention during the balloting, really.

For what it's worth, I only wanted a best thread-starter so I could nom you for it. Really most of those I came up with cause I was saying hey, there's another person who deserves recognition, I just can't quite fit their special brand of them-ness into any of the available categories.

You know I don't even think I caught that we were supposed to be seconding these.

Anyway, I second Krylo for both categories above - NPFer of the Year - and - Best Quote - , and I think he's covered everybody else already.

I'll also nominate Ecurt for Funniest Forumite. I don't know, that dude always puts a smile on my face.

(Note: I will still kill you with my bare hands)

Also, Roy Mylote for best avatar. Cause I mean, c'mon.

.......

You know, if I were a decent human being who knew how to take a compliment, I'd probably stop here somewhere and say thanks to the people who nominated me for stuff.

But then, being an ungracious jackass has gotten me this far, so why mess with success?

... No, but seriously, thanks. It really is kind of touching.

It almost worked, but at the very end you forgot to say "CHARRRRRRRRRRGE!"

Mondt 06-11-2006 08:14 PM

I kind of interpreting synk's post as saying, "Hey, I'm not around here, so I don't know enough people/people enough to effectively vote, so I won't."

And I'm trying to say that there doesn't have to be a semblance of 'effective'. It's entirely gut, who you think should have it based on what you know. The scope of who you know doesn't, and shouldn't, matter at all.

I mean, come on... TESLA!

Edit: I'm going to nominate him for best signature, too... because he'll hurt me.

...

I'm scared...

Mike McC 06-12-2006 04:49 PM

Just as an amusing sidenote MAshirosen had this to say last time I had Tesla in my avatar.

CallmePrismatic 06-12-2006 06:24 PM

Ok, first post now has the 'instructions' and guidelines on top for ease of review. I'll have the list updated with all the recent nominations by the end of tonight.

You can only nominate one name for each category.

I've changed my policy on 'multiple nominations in one category' and have updated the first post to reflect such: If you put more than one name in each category, I will only add the first name put forth.

List is now up to date.

Fifthfiend 06-12-2006 10:40 PM

-Nicest Guy Who Everybody Gets Along With And He's Really Considerate Of Other Points Of View.

Any other nominations that occur to me will go here.

Any subsequent posts by me in this thread will be purely content-free swearing at CMP for being a bastardhead graciously thanking CMP for putting this whole thing together and being a great guy.

P-Sleazy 06-12-2006 10:52 PM

I'd also like to nominate for the "most legendary Off Topic Thread" category
Chick or Dude? AKA: Space Pope Gets Rejected by Arlia Janet

...that really is the title of the thread. The whole thing of it. Here I'll link ya.

Edit: which btw Fifthfiend...You still haven't told us. Are You a chick or dude?

Why are you doing that? Only one allowed makes sense for voting, but not for picking people who are qualified enough to be on the ballet....

Anyways, on to my nominations:
Rules Awards
Most helpful: Zwei

General
Best Avatar: I've always liked DarthZeth's sock puppets

Off Topic
Best Thread: Yess, the Chick or Dude? one was nice. A mod (I assume Krylo) changed the name that way.

Books and Comics
NPF comic: DFM's
Best Thread: YACC CROP IMP or "What? No, I mean it. What?" (its a link) Just in case :P

Maybe I'll edit later with more.

It's what I'm used to. And it helps to get more opinions, as opposed to one person who posts a huge list of names and then a second person comes in and copy+paste's the first list.

I'll update the list tonight.

Fifthfiend 06-14-2006 08:25 PM

What you're used to cause you're a bastardhead such a swell guy!

CallmePrismatic 06-14-2006 09:12 PM

fifthfiend you are too kind to me. I hereby give you first dibs on the Nukies 2007.

Anyways, since we're in the Home Stretch, I'm going to implement a new nomination scheme: If you don't feel comfortable having your personal nominations known to the public, you may feel free to PM them to me. If you do, only send one PM with your full complete list.

That is all.

Ummm..... you do know that I made a serious nomination, right? One would think that it should at least go on the list.

One should hold on to it's knickers lest they get into an unneeded twist merely because one wasn't automatically responded to, probably because one didn't realize that the runner of this thing was lazy/waiting till the deadline to update the final list with any late additions. One should also be safe and cozy in the knowledge that they're nominations are very important and will be reflected on said final list.

Speaking of which, expect the list for voting to be up later today, possibly with some of my own nomination additions.

POS Industries 06-17-2006 12:30 PM

*shrugs* I get ignored a lot around here, so I figured it was just one of those times. Also, maybe I don't wear knickers. Hell, I may not even be wearing pants.

Just try to ignore that.

Truce 06-17-2006 01:55 PM

Bah. You only seem ignored because you're ignoring the people who don't ignore you.

Now cheer up!
