Special Award - for the person whose contribution goes towards making this forum the best around..

[jonahjones]

Does Vegy get to keep the Biggest Rep Whore award if he wins it again? :)

[mathare]

Out of interest - voting for yourself, allowed or not?

I don't see why not... as long as it's not in every category :laugh

[vegyjones]

My nominations are in! :D

[Win2Win]

You spelt 'ABOMINATIONS' wrong!!

[bigcumba]

My nominations are in! :D

That was quick! Cheers Vegy :)

[Win2Win]

'Forum Bum'????

[jonahjones]

'Forum Bum'????

I think it's somwhere in the South-West Keith. :)

[bigcumba]

Just a wee reminder to get your votes in.... I'll give extra rep for everyone who votes (and considering my rep power is now at 96, that's going to be quite a boost to your own rep!)

[bigcumba]

4 votes in now... and rep given in return :) . Already seeing a picture emerge in a couple of categories... 2 of them have only one nomination so far.... keep them coming people - your vote could make or break someone's day!

Hopefully we'll have the awards ceremony on the Sunday after voting closes.

[mathare]

How's this working? Are we voting or nominating?

That is is everyone nominated in all categories or are we drawing up shortlists through the e-mails and we'll have forum polls (or another round of voting) in each category?

[Win2Win]

You're having a Susan moment aren't you? :D

[mathare]

You're having a Susan moment aren't you? :D:laugh

No, just trying to work out whether we are voting or nominating as the two are different

Straightforward vote Mat, though I did consider a second round after this e-mail bit, I reckoned that would drag it out a wee bit too long, and complicate matters for the likes of Ginge as it wouldn't represent true value. I think.

Thanks to everyone who has voted so far - 9 in already! Keep them coming :)

[scoobydoo]

Will send soon bigc, just struggling with OOF and special award ones! :rolleyes:

[mathare]

I'm surprised there haven't been more attempts to secure votes. It's normally around this time that Vegy makes a mad rush to tart up the footy sim while posting lots of 'humour' too. And rep whoring, of course

[vegyjones]

The footy sim's at its peak at the moment.

Not like that other sim, what's it called... ermm,
it's about horses, it's currently on a break of sorts.
That's it, the racing sim! :D

Oh vegy...youre a star...just realised who my OOF should go to now! :splapme :wink

[vegyjones]

I'm not old :doh :D

[mathare]

Oh vegy...youre a star:Blacklistnonono: You appear to be confused Scoob, Vegy's not a star. He's still a series of blobs :D

[vegyjones]

Only a matter of time my dear moderating buddy! :wink

[mathare]

Only a matter of time my dear moderating buddy! :winkNo good greasing round me now in a 'please don't neg rep me again' sort of a way

[vegyjones]

How about literally :wink :wink

[counterfeit]

sent mine off - didn't vote for myself in anything which is quite sensible as I know :censored: :censored: all

[vegyjones]

Ah, don't beat yourself up CF,

If there was an award for member whose username most looks like the word counterfeiting

I would have voted for you! :D

[scoobydoo]

:Blacklistnonono: You appear to be confused Scoob, Vegy's not a star. He's still a series of blobs :D

true mat. :) I meant in an enlightening way...nothing more! :)

Sent bigc....to those who I have offended (vegy apart)...I apologise.... :D

[vegyjones]

I used to love scooby doo,

but I'm slowly going off him.

Thanks to those pesky kids... :D

[scaaty]

Sent mine too. Some of those were really difficult to decide - and one or two were very very easy ! :D

[bigcumba]

I've now run out of rep for the day, but I know who's still to get their extra bit on the side... so that'll be done tomorrow :) 12 votes in now - looking very interesting... at the moment there are a handful of categories that look like almost certs, but who knows what can happen.

As for anyone trying to boost their chances of winning an award... I could of course use the Florida style of vote counting.... :laugh

[vegyjones]

Florida Style???

Is that the one with the bits in? :D

[bigcumba]

close... it's the one with the bits in that I want left in... :)

[TheOldhamWhisper]

Some pretty tough choices this year - no need to waste your rep on me :)

[mathare]

I'll be voting over the weekend when I have had time to mull over my choices.

[bigcumba]

Cheers Oldham, got yours now as well.

[vegyjones]

Your a much better administrator of this than Fade2black, Campbell.

I don't think he had 14 replies in total last year!

How about, a best awards organiser award :D :peeky

I think I might have that turned off, its on the options isnt it? I've only just activated the avatars recently :D

I remember it was because i was connecting mostly on a 3g card or on a PDA at the time and i wanted to reduce any surplus info downloading.

I can spend many happy hours reading everyones signatures now :ooo

[markwales]

Sent earlier today. :thumbs

[vegyjones]

What sim game did you vote for? :D

[mathare]

What sim game did you vote for? :DMark decided that he couldn't vote for the racing sim as that wouldn't be fair. So he voted for the only other real runner in the market....the golf sim that Nick has been running :laugh :peeky

[Win2Win]

Their is another sim apart form the racing? :doh

[vegyjones]

[bigcumba]

Tonight's reminder :) . I think I've given rep to everyone who has voted so far... apart from Keith as he's got way too much :wink (yes that means even the boss has voted!)

[Fadetoblack]

The boss voted last year too!!! My awards weren't that bad!!!

[vegyjones]

Ah, I'm only kidding Daz, I (as I'm sure everyone else did) appreciated your efforts in not only arranging them, but getting the now annual event off the ground! :)

[Win2Win]

The boss voted last year too!!! My awards weren't that bad!!!

Give me some Rep Fade....I may have voted for you :wink

You can e-mail to the address I gave or even PM them if you want.... and there's rep to be gained if you do! You have until Saturday night to get them in! Hopefully I'll be able to do the awards ceremony on Sunday evening...

[bigmazey]

The votes from the killie judge has been cast.

Cant wait to see the results.Will you just be announcing the winners or wil it be a 1,2,3.

Is there any betting for it on betfair yet?

[bigcumba]

[bigcumba]

[bigcumba]

I've sent mine. Big C can you confrim you got my email please (having trouble with outlook express):thumbs

Sorry mate, didn't get yours either... if you copied and pasted the e-mail address you need to remove the spaces before and after the @ sign... if that's not been the problem you could PM them to me :)

[Iron Chris]

Sent...:)

[bigcumba]

cheers Chris... only one day to go for any late voters! Also Bigmazey and Pilky - yours didn't arrive so if you want to resend them please do!

[bigcumba]

Ok peeps - as things stand there are 4 categories where one or two votes could swing it one way or another they are that close. Also a few where your votes could make a difference to the placings... so get them in - just over 24 hours left to vote and get your extra rep! :thumbs

[bigmazey]

Haven't got them Mazey? did you e-mail them to the address I gave earlier in the thread?

w2wawards @ yahoo.co.uk.

I sent them to w2wawards@yahoo.com. Will resend. hope you get them this time.

[bigcumba]

I sent them to w2wawards@yahoo.com. Will resend. hope you get them this time.

Yep, got them this time mate - cheers!

Also got Mavrick's as well - thanks!

[bigcumba]

well, with those last 2 sets of votes received we still have 2 categories that are tied... and 2 more that are very close. Surprisingly no category has been won by a 100% unanimous vote but a couple have been near... :laugh . There have also been a couple of surprising omissions - where I expected to see a good number of votes it just hasn't happened. Still time to make a difference if you haven't already voted !

[mathare]

Tomorrow - I will do this tomorrow. Although you may need to remind/kick me

[Win2Win]

Can I use my other 1M+ email addresses to vote? :)


Tomorrow - I will do this tomorrow. Although you may need to remind/kick me
