Topic: The 2015 Unofficial 40Konline Forum Awards

[Alienscar]

It's that Time of Year Again: The Unofficial 40kOnline Forum Awards 2015!

Well that was quick we have just finished voting for 2012-2014 and suddenly 2015 has gone and it’s already Feb of 2016. That means it is time to get your thinking caps on and give up some of your time to nominate the awesome people that make this site what it is.

Whilst I am wittering on what a year 2015 was. Project blogs springing up everywhere (well the Project Blogs mostly), Tangi keeping us all entertained with his modelling mishaps; flickering life in the Orks Board; Harlequin cheques and a sewer.  Something to please everyone really.

Unless anyone say different this thread is unofficial so vote who you want for what you want.  Yes even yourself.

You all know the drill by now. Get voting.

MODS: Sorry if this is treading on anyone’s toes. Just lock it if you have other plans.

[Calamity]

Me?  Best Artist?  I flattered  ...but, I don't remember arting in here! 

[Alienscar]

Hey Captain, last year you posted two drawings in the Art Forum. One of them was of a Goldfish if that helps to jog your memory.

[Calamity]

Oh yeah, now I remember!

[Alienscar]

The Staff has no plans to run this, so it's all yours .

As it is just me and because I can't post polls there won't be nomination period followed by voting. Every name put forward will be counted as a vote for that person.

[Irisado]

Staff members can post any polls on your behalf if you would like to go down that route.

[Grand Master Lomandalis]

Same as last time, Alienscar.  You do the footwork for getting this off and running, and I will post the polls in the appropriate boards when the time comes.

As for nominations, the majority of people I would nominate have already been nominated.  That being said, I am going to go outside of my norm and nominate myself for best painter.  I mean, come on, my Harlequins and X-wing stuff has to count for something! 

[The GrimSqueaker]

You're a monster.

[Calamity]

I like the confidence.

How long do we have to nominate?

[Grand Master Lomandalis]

You're a monster.

And this is news... how?

[The GrimSqueaker]

You're a monster.

And this is news... how?

If you'd been playing 40K for *just* a little bit longer I'd show you a shred of respect. Yet, as you know, no shred for you.

[Spectral Arbor]

Best Writer [Fiction] : Wyddr
Imperial Guard Poster of the Year: Captain Calamity and Wyddr [Love those Bat Reps!]

Kijayle Commemorative Award for Acid Wit: Spectral Arbor [Master Squeaker is less sharp than I. They're hardly even stabs anymore. More like playful jabs, really.]
Oddball : Guy that started the Fun Stuff you've seen outside of 40k Online thread. I should really learn people's names. Yolo Swaggins? - Sir GodSpeed

[Alienscar]

Same as last time, Alienscar.  You do the footwork for getting this off and running, and I will post the polls in the appropriate boards when the time comes.

Thanks GML.

That being said, I am going to go outside of my norm and nominate myself for best painter.  I mean, come on, my Harlequins and X-wing stuff has to count for something!

I really like your X-Wing stuff but I just liked Talon's Skitari a bit more. It gladdens my heart that people are actually nominating themselves this year.

Best Writer[Articles] : The guy that posted a proper article to the front page - Ebon Star

I know how you dislike rules so I will just point out that Ebon posted his proper article in 2016 and this is the 2015 awards. Do you still want me to accept your nomination?

Kijayle Commemorative Award for Acid Wit: Spectral Arbor [Master Squeaker is less sharp than I. They're hardly even stabs anymore. More like playful jabs, really.

Agreed, either you have taken being acerbic to a higher level or Rummy was never as bad as I thought.

I like the confidence.

How long do we have to nominate?

Does three weeks seem about right? I will lock this thread 16:00 GMT on 29th Feb

[Spectral Arbor]

I only dislike rules I don't agree with.  Yeah, I'd like it accepted. Ebon deserves a nod for reviving the front page articles. Maybe we could make a one-month lee-way rule that I could bend next year?

Rummy's just holding back. He's like Rocky, in Rocky 4 through 17. He's still got it in him, but only brings it out for a worthy challenger. Someday, I hope to be so worthy.

But this year, it's me.

There's some gaps there, which I'll figure out and fill out asap.  Also, apart from the IG one, I don't frequent other armies so much, so I can't really give a nomination.

[Alienscar]

Come on you lot only four people have nominated so far. Show your love for this site and add your nominations before it is too late.

Edit: time to head to the polls people. Over to you GML.
