The UEMB 2017 Community Choice Awards.

[Sandstone]

My idea here is to create categories for the year 2017 and allow the community to do a closed ballot vote for who they think fits said category the best.

Categories I'd like to include in the poll:

1. UEMB Comic (has made the funniest posts/responses on a consistent basis across the year)

2. UEMB Scholar (has delivered the most informative responses/posts consistently across the year, things which have strong educational value)

3. UEMB Talent (includes drawing, music, writing)

4. UEMB True Friend (someone who has been consistently helpful and good spirited towards other users or has helped other members in big ways, such as donations, advice, and moral support)

5. UEMB Hero We Need (someone who has delivered epic, touching, or inspiring moments across the year)

6. UEMB Beautiful Mind (someone who has delivered consistent clever wit and out of the box thinking in their replies and posts)

7. UEMB Special Agent (someone who has shown extraordinary expertise in a nerdy topic, talking about anime, conventions, movies and tv, trivia, and pop-culture)

8. UEMB Sassy Pants (someone who has consistently excelled and playful banter, teasing, and sassy responses for the year)

There will be one vote per member per category, it will be a blind vote (cannot see who voted for who), and nominations will be taken prior. In order to be nominated for a category, someone needs to be proposed for that specific category and have two seconds from separate users. Don't nominate people here, this thread is to decide whether this good spirited event is a great idea and should go forward or not. It's also for suggestions to better categories or rules, so post any you might have below.

If this idea goes forward with consensus, I'll attempt to get a nominations thread pinned which will stay open for about a week.

i win the award for not winning an award and not being nominated.

thank you for agreeing,.

[Sandstone]

Edited, forgot to include the poll at top.

[Hornshire]

If you want to do the work, We're not going to tell you not to.

But these sorts of things tend to be drama magnets, so be ready for that also.

[Cau]

I always thought the yearbook thing was fun

[SwimModSponges]

I voted for caveats because I love caveats.

We have this much in common. What are said caveats?

That's basically what I'm proposing here. It looks majority are saying yes or yes with some changes. If people want to add or change stuff need them to voice those caveats now. Plox.

[SwimModSponges]

Most of them involve getting people to read my fanfictions somehow, so yeah, don't ask me for constructive feedback.

I will let you down.

Here's a bunch of the old ones if there needs to be more/different categories or whatever https://asmbinfo.wordpress.com/the-asmb-yearbook-2004/the-asmb-yearbook-2010/

You were one of the people I was going to nominate for the artistic category. But like I said too keep the categories neat it'd have to be seconded by at least 2 other users. And I did read at least one of your fanfics a while back, I found it amusing. 

[SwimModSponges]

Are we allowed to second ourselves?

Yeah, that thing. I will take a look here in a bit. I have to go get some shit done for the moment unfortunately but I will check back to this in a little bit, so get those votes and suggestions in. Basically I am thinking we will make a pinned nominations thread let it run until say friday of next week, then voting will begin and last over the weekend, and we have our community picks monday after next, just a bit before x-mas.

LoL, I honestly hadn't thought about it.... I guess cause I'm not really that conceited. I'm gonna go ahead and say no as it kind of defeats the purpose of the nomination process but if enough people say that want that we can add it in. I am sure you could probably get at least 2 other nominations haha, there are people here who do like your fanfics or at least that was my impression.

I was planning on nominating Cau, Mochi, and Bouvre as well. You can nominate more than one person for categories just not votes.

[Codename: Jackass]

Yeah, let's fire up the drama machine once again.

I nominate 1-800-OMG-STFU for best username again.

 

But seriously I'm mildly interested.

[Distortedreasoning]

oh yeah bring on the yearbook!some of the best threads were the yearbook ones. 

[Meilag32]

You should add categories for more specific topics like one for Toonami, or for specific Toonami discussions, or for the games thread or the free-for-all thread.

Also, make it similar to The Dundies from The Office, so every win is sort of a back-handed compliment.

Why a blind vote? I'm just going to post my votes, if you don't want to count it idc

Because I don't want members harassed for you they voted for. This is just supposed to be a light-hearted and fun event not another reason for certain fanatics on here to shit on people.

It seems we have a large majority saying they would participate. I am going to read over the suggestions here and come up with a clear set of rules, I'll post a thread about Nominations later today and we can start the process.

[Zenigundam]

I qualify for a bunch of those categories, but I don't think I would be able to attend.

[Still Me]

I'm still in the process of fixing everything. Soon we will have a set nominations thread I might include that just cause I like the prospect of nominating Zeni for it.

Yeah I'm going to need to add at least a couple of categories that suit the babblers more effectively... cause I doubt any of you old crotchedy peeps are gonna win popularity awards.

Go dance in a river started as a way for me to tell pinkfrog to go fuck himself without getting banned.
