I think so too :)

"The Little Willie goes to..." lol

I change my nomination to Tom Fulp's mother for bring such a lovely boy into the world! :*

As I said before, when you first mentioned the tank trophies, they should be called THE OZCARS!!

just give dan the leadership award

Tom I bet you're pussy whiped, April probably treats you like shit and you still kiss her ass.

ps if i won that trophy i would cum into the shooty hole every night until it started coming back out

Wow. Just wow Tom.

Firstly, I love how you guys are giving out wacoms again. Sadly I bought my own a few years ago >=[ but nethertheless its great that you are giving aspiring animators a greater chance to have their own.

Secondly, the trophies look fan-frikken-tastic. I don't like the name of the tankmen nor the tankies. The few that I read that sounded cool were the Tankers and the Tanks. The Tankers sounded like a real award ceremony-ish name. Oscars-tankers, w/e.

Lastly nominations. Wow. FIVE SPOTS for one year. It makes perfect sense that it's so few due to the cost but imagine how little of the NG population you can really cover with 5 measly awards? Anyway, hopefully in the future there will be more.

My nominations:

Best Animation: Metropolis Circuit. I believe that rtil brought about a more stunning animation that Adam Philips (sorry Adam) and rtil has also been a great contributer of flash to NG.

Best Game (programming) : Now this is where it gets tough. I would go ahead and say Portal: The flash version quickly, but in reality, the programming for that game is a simple platformer engine with some (not very major) additions (eg physics engines for converting speed through portals and physics engine for the boxes). To truthfully say, I don't know of a SINGLE game that deserves this because programming is hard to compare in games, but if I had to, I would say Ragdoll Invaders deserves the programming award, the ragdoll physics, the movements, everything, is an incredibly complex and well made program.

Best Game (art) - Edward (so the award would go to Buzzwerd). The graphics were amazing, clean cut, fit perfectly in the game, looked neat and original. Truly deserving of a game-art prize.

Song of the Year- Oh I love this category, but once again a difficult choice. These are three of my nominations; no particular order.

-TT- in your face
Bounc3
Choz Fantasy (can't believe no one mentioned this yet)

Last one, leadership, has to go to Luis. If it does not go to Luis I do not know what you look for in a leader, because he certainly has everything that a leader should have. He provides great motivation, is very involved, and is also a funny mexican. How can you go wrong? But truthfully, if I see this prize awarded to a leader of the SS I will cry, because as you say, this award goes to people who make NG a better place, and besides host tons of collabs, all they've (mostly, cept for a few) done is add to the spam on NG. So to put it simply in AS terms,

<code>
if(NGPortal==NGPortal+SS_Spam){
NG--;
}
</code>

Hope that helped Tom, and that I didn't waste half an hour typing all this out for nothing :)

you're right.. you're right. I shouldn't of done that, it was wrong of me.

Since I don't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning one of those, I will buy one. I will make an offer you CAN NOT REFUSE.

One bajillion dollars.

he certainly has everything that a leader should have. and is also a mexican.

well it depends on if you like jews or mexicans i guess

thats tom's call

I for one would LOVE to have the Honor of having that trophy.

I think "The Tankers" is a label for the trophy. It kind of has the name from the Oscars in it and the Tankers to me just sounds about perfect.

"Do you have what it takes to be a New Grounds Tanker?"

to give an award to someone that big in NG community would take a lot of fun out of it.

HEY WHY DONT WE GIVE THE AWARD TO TOM FULP HE LEADS NEWGROUDS AND IS REALLY GREAT

hey Owen wilson, why dont you finish the job.

That trophy looks really cool

Im with MC ..

Owen Wilson definately needs this Bronze Tank on his weak trophycase.

I'm With Dsmano, The Stevies!!

Even though it is bronze and not copper..

Main Entry: bronze

I still think Penny is a clever title.

It contrasts completely to the weight, and the value of the object.

When you tell someone you got a penny and whip that tank out.. They will be like

"DANG, it's HUGE!"

and you can be like

"That's what she said." They will never see it coming.

The Top Spunk award

Those tank trophies look so cool, I wish i could get one

How did you go about making the sculpture? Did you hire someone, or is somebody over there a sculptor?

1) What should we call the trophy? The Tankies? The Shermans? Be creative...

We should keep it simple and go with The Tankies.

2) Should the song of the year be required to be featured in a game or movie (like the Oscars)? This would encourage more collaboration on big projects.

This is a tough one. I don't think it should because there are many great songs on Newgrounds, but some of them aren't used in flash.

3) What nominations would you like to make for each of the above categories? These will all be taken under advisement.

Hhmmm..... I'll come back to you on that one.

Hot damn those tank trophies are awesome. You could bludgeon a shark with one of those.

Already got a graphire tablet, not that I use it much.

I'd have to actually think about nominations (Exept for Luis for the leadership award- it's a pretty obvious choice), which I can't be assed to do right now, but there is something I've seen, which I'm amazed nobody's commented on:

Why not have an award for best gameplay in a flash game? It's possible to create a beautifully drawn game, or one with a flawlessly executed concept behind it, that still plays like shit.

The Steve Award.
Ng Bling. lol.
Im so bored.

DT's aint a bad kind of spam and that is something a lot of you wont understand. People gotta make a toon every day 100 days man its impressive. But not too many of you guys understand and I think the SS has gotten to the point where they dont expect you guys to anymore.

But hey whaevah I havent seen any guy work as hard as F0d did with the DT's while balancin college but f

Are you fucking stupid kiddo. Making a fucking load of pointless collabs isn't motivating, nor is it keeping NG together. It's making collabs, there's nothing more to it. He is very involved? Um well he did organize a meetup or two but is that really what should matter. Some people here don't want to meet others, this is a website about flash, not friendscout. How do a fucking load of collabs make NG a better place, tell me? Wouldn't it make NG a better place if shitty animated series like TooF and Foamy shit gets out of the way? The SS has archived great things and you are too fucking blind to see them. Open your eyes. We're not just spamming the portal, we have contributed to the good of Newgrounds and that without even getting ANYTHING back. Now that the chance is there, you want to give it to a person who starts a lot of collabs to satisfy himself. F0d has probably put WAY more effort into changing Newgrounds and the way people on here act, than Luis has. F0d has also had a WAY greater impact just without people knowing his name. That's what makes it so difficult.

dat trophy is AWESOME!
