FFR Awards 2006 – Voting

[TheRapingDragon]

STICKY PLEASE.

So, another year is upon us. What better way to finish it off than to have the FFR Awards 2006. This year I’ve tried to make it a bit more formal so there are guidelines and whatnot, I have written up some descriptions for the topics in case some people needed an explanation, the final list is at the bottom of this post and will be what you use to vote with.

To the committee, here is what you will be tallying:

Fish, Myself, Guido, Selinica: GENERAL and FORUM

Sertman, Doug, Tokzic: THREADS, PERSONALITY / OTHERS

DarkManti, Nforcer, Mead: FUTURE!, FFR – THE GAME


The following are the rules of voting and the general process of events:

I – In order for your votes to count, you must use the list provided at the bottom of this post, just quote it and fill in your choices for each category.

II – You may only vote for one person in each of the categories, if you vote for more than one person then your votes will be rejected and you will be asked to vote again.

III – Once you have voted, you may not change your votes; we have 10 people keeping check on these categories and so we can’t keep changing our tally when you change your mind.

IV – VOTING ENDS FRIDAY 22ND DECEMBER 2006.

V - After 22nd December the committee will tally up the results and send them to me via PM, any discrepancies can be fixed before posting the results thread but it should all go smoothly. The results thread will be posted within 24 hours of me having all the tallies.

VI - You can't vote for yourself in any category (I'm looking at you Tass).

So, without further ado, here are the categories for this year. This is the tl;dr version.

GENERAL

Friendliest Poster
Going around FFR can be a dangerous experience, chit chat has descended into hell, /tgb/ is a place where only the strong will survive and the rest of the forum can be a harsh and unforgiving place, but, among the mass of flaming hatred a burning beacon shines through, yes, this person does not flame or fight, they help you until the very end, sometimes even enduring flames against them in order to help you out.

Least Friendly Poster
Sometimes we all have a bad day, and sometimes we like to take it out on that one newbie who decided to ask us where to find Skelly Bones. However, this person is in a league of their own, they take pride in bringing a newbie to tears, they take pride in responding to threads in the newbie section with “tl;dr”. Granted, this award could go to half of FFR, it’s up to you to decide who deserves it best.

Most Helpful Poster
Least Helpful Poster
Being friendly is all well and good, but sometimes those who are friendly just don’t have a clue what they are talking about. Helpful posters make sure to find out their information and send you out into the forum with all the knowledge you’ll need.

Note: Everyone who just writes “read the stickies” x100 need not apply.

Biggest Postwhore
Such a prestigious award this one, this award was originally known in olden times as the “Moogicus De Facto” but nobody speaks of it in this way now. Some say that one day the fabled Moogicus of which this award speaks will return to shower us with another post-whoring session, others believe the day of Tassing is upon us, either way, we have us a huge postwhore race this year.

Most Random Poster
Waking up to eat some yellow flavoured beans while trying to figure out the cross-angled rotational direction of a flock of geese can be quite a taunting task, but not for the most random poster, they revel in confusing you, for better or worse.

The "Who Am I" Award (least noticed poster)
Who?

Best Newbie
Worst Newbie
Ahh, the common newbie. We get both kinds, it seems like this year we have received more bad newbies than good ones but take your pick, be careful, their forum respect is at stake here. It can be destroyed in one simple vote.

We all know there is no such thing as a “bad” moderator, they are all such lovely people and of course they won’t ever ban us because we see them as being horrible staff members, so, only the best here!



Best Overall Poster

Try to base this more on actual post content. Everything from (in)consistent posts to general forum skill. This all makes a best (or worst) overall poster.

This is your own opinion. Screw if they make good posts or not, they are your favourite.

Plenty of members have been and gone, who do you actually care about?

If possible provide a link to the thread, it will be helpful for the results thread if I have everything needed to provide a winner without having to search the forum for the winning (losing) thread.

Choose your favourite thought provoking discussion.

Funniest Garbage Bin Thread
Since when did Funny = Garbage Bin… vote anyway.

Best thread 2006 (any section)
Again, if possible (and this is for all these categories in THREADS / POSTS) provide a link to what you are voting for, it makes things easier for everyone.

They make you wish you had talent, part II.

FUTURE!

Next Mod
Next Admin
We've already had Guido and Stretchy modded this year, along with Scottish/Kit-/Shash modded as Multiplayer mods. Tass also got the honour of going up to Admin. Who are users who have been here for a while and show that they know what they are doing, spelling and grammar is always a bonus, respect and a sense of humour also tend to be necessary. Still, there are plenty of promising members to choose from. Who is next?

Next Ban
Who knows, the winner might just receive their award for real.

User Most Likely to Leave Soon
Self-explanatory.

FFR – THE GAME

Best FFR-file 2006
Worst FFR-file 2006
Everything from GGC to EHHS here, take your pick as to what you see as the best, and worst, new file added to FFR in 2006.

FFR Gamewhore
Who has played one too many games this year?

Up And Coming FFRer
I don’t see any point in having a “best FFR player” award as Shash or Baha would win, so instead I want you to vote on who you think has came up through the ranks to become a great player over the 2006 year.


There we go. Here is the list you should use:

All right, this is exactly what I warned against, this thread should only be used for voting. I mean, I don't give a sh*t, I'm not tallying the votes, I'm just trying to make it easier on the Committee.

[Tasselfoot]

Don't forget that Shox was given modship over the 1mil get subforum... and Shash was modded for BB.

Up and Coming FFRer: just in playing... Vote4Nixon... skillwise AND playing combo... argo15

[TheRapingDragon]

I thought it would be clear that voting for yourself would be against the rules. I'll add that in seeing as Tass doesn't seem to realise. Also, Tass, read the rules, you can only vote for one person in each category, so change these or they will be rejected:

i am above the law. failure to realize that will force me to edit all your posts with "Tass is above the law."

Not fully insightful, but it's the most action CT has gotten this whole year, thus making it interesting.

Best FFR-File 2006: Rondo Alla Turca V2
Worst FFR-File 2006: AIM Anthem
FFR Gamewhore: Scottish
Up and Coming FFRer: Bill_Clinton

[FishFishRevolution]

So how about old rule, no self voting? Yeah, that's still in place. Tass.

[Tasselfoot]

just FYI... rondo v2 nor AIM were this year... Crowdpleaser was the 1st song of 2006... easy to remember, since Max Forever was the SotY released at the end of 2005.

[TheRapingDragon]

Yeah, was going to say that, neither of those can be counted seeing as they aren't 2006, change it.

Fish - I said that to Tass, even added it in the rules. If he won't change them then just don't count them.
