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

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.

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

Without getting ANYTHING back? Tell me, what would the star syndicate be without Newgrounds? Would it even exist?
You're knocking on Luis for making collabs but.... what are dailytoons? Oh, they're collabs. Luis' collabs exist to satisfy himself, while SS collabs exist purely for the greater good of Newgrounds? Ok.
I don't know much about the SS. I don't pay attention to you guys. I've seen a few funny things, and I've seen a lot of spam. I wouldn't say driving away artists like logo and illwillpress are for the greater good of Newgrounds. I don't like their stuff, and I might find parodies funny, but whether they're here or not it doesn't make much difference. NG is about GOOD content, GOOD people are still going to submit GOOD content whether the star syndicate has saved the day or not.
Like I said, I don't know much about you guys. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you've done some great work for NG, all behind the scenes, that has gone completely 'unrewarded.' But there has still been the spam shit too, so I don't see why that should completely be negated.
Luis:
-started collabs here
-produces excellent flash
-has brought together many artists in his collabs
-has organized ng meetups
-has produced and ran the sketchbook tour for two years
-mods the flash forum
-is involved in other community-related things, such as the munny paintings
-HASN'T spammed the portal
this argument is getting pretty gay. I could write a huge post, too now. But that wouldn't change the opinion of anyone, just like your or other posts don't change my opinion.
Oh yea Psi its Colossal1234
Lets work it out okay champ
Oh yea and artists shouldnt be judged on their spam flashs. Itd be like judging an artist based on some little scribble shit he did just for fun. Or a sketch. So it aint really fair to judge the SS's good work based on the spam flashes.

That's fine, but you can't expect to walk in, post some bold comments, and receive no response to it.

Luis has done more than just make cartoons and collaborations, He first off changed the face of collaboration, and now he was trying to bring together multiple artists (flash and non flash) to submit stuff to newgrounds ( the NG sketchbook tour ). He did all of those with no expectations of getting anything in return.
I will agree that F0d did get the SS together to do stuff, but that is one group of people, no everybody likes the SS, and not everybody likes what Luis does, but in the end I believe Luis has more of a widespread of achievements, and he does it all with a mouse. :D <3 luis ROFL

damn it, I guess i missed the ending to the conversation... but Afro Ninja said pretty much everything that I had to say...
on a side note
all with a mouse!
If the leadership award were to go to f0d, then we're giving the leadership award to someone who promotes spam, if we have a leader who promotes spam, this site will go down. Now honestly, anyone saying "Don't judge the SS on their spam shit, judge them on the good" go fuck yourself. You's set up your reputation, don't complain when it bites you in the ass. If f0d was a good leader, he'd be discouraging spam and mass voting rather than promoting it.
I also vote for Luis, 3/4 of you wouldn't know the amount of effort he puts in to the flash forum and newgrounds as a whole. Sketchbook tours, munny competitions, unique collabs, moderates the flash forum, arranges meetups and helps out where help is needed. I don't think there's a better leader on Newgrounds that isn't an admin.
i think we will be envious forever to whomever wins those trophies!! they are a brilliant idea.
that is why newgrounds will always be the best
anyhows, i think adam phillips wins the animation one hands donw which is depressing for all us other animators in his shadow XD, that guy pWns
game coding will prolly go to portal if its based on popularity.
i wonder hoe they will be picked?....
well, great job tom!
ps. Tom, please let every person just win one award. Otherwise Luis would get one every year for the leadershit thing. Seeing as everyone likes him so much.
Sorry he aint a dictator Vengence. Though I spose Hitler was a good leader in a sort of ways.
And your argument is just silly my friend! Lets judge all artists on shit they werent even trying on! Whoopee!
The fact that F0d could round up those same guys who "spam" (spam aint even really an appropriate word for a lot of the things submitted) and make those lazy asses come together and actually make something like they did is a testiment to his leadership.
In conclusion I think the award should go to the guy who made ADVENTUA QUEST!

We created the first "automated submission system", practically gave birth to the Flash gaming scene (all humility aside) and have done a ton of great shit that predates all the YouTubes and other Flash sites on the web. But it seems like we'll never shake the stigma of being "that offensive, immature site" or "that hentai site." We all reap what we sow.
And we need to work as a team, because Flash as an art form is still struggling. A 15 year old girl on YouTube can get more views than Waterlollies. Maybe that will never change, but as a collective I like to think we can become "a force in entertainment" that rivals all this video blog bullshit the web has become plagued with.
And while I'm at it, Flash needs the next Sonic or Mario more than it needs another defense game... Although I'll admit I've wasted plenty of time playing great defense games.
Despite any breakthroughs the SS makes, most people will ignore it, because you guys built a stigma that is hard to shake. And I'm not blaming you for it because I've done the same thing to NG on countless occasions, I'm just saying that's how it is and we all gotta live with it. :)
This was really inspirational. Maybe this is just the diehard NG fan in me, but I totally agree.
At the same time, I'd argue that in this smaller, niche sort of community you've developed, true art, unfettered by the snobbery or commercialism that plagues most areas of entertainment these days, can spring forth and be judged by a community rather than a select group of individuals. It drives us all toward a standard and a quality that goes beyond money. People submit here purely for the satisfaction of hearing a comunity's response, and that's a really beautiful thing.
