Rules

You can vote for yourself.
You can only vote once for each category.
In the event of a tie we will open up the voting again between those who have tied only.
Voting ends at 5:00pm December 28, no late votes will be counted.

[Yeticowman]

just wondering, do you have any idea what the awards would look like if they existed in real life? I'd just like to see an artist's representation of the Lewis Libby award.

[DarkWizard1992]

I vote for Der-Lowe as Secretary of the treasure, because he knows helluva lot about economy, and he's studying to become a CPA (Certified public accountant).

[BeFell]

Can I post a whole lot in the next two days to make up for a year of neglect and finally seize the presidency?

[SmilezRoyale]

BTW JoS, unfortunately thanks to the ineptitutes in features of this BBS there's likely little you can do, however, i think you meant

'You Can't Vote for yourself'

You said you can.

I vote for myself lol!

[reviewer-general]

Also, no sciences or religion categories?

True, that's not politics, but it is discussed here (esp. religion).

You said you can.

Agreed! Voting for oneself, with so few votes as we actually get, makes a mockery of the system. This is not in the spirit of the way the awards were started (nominating peers, not oneself). I stand by last years assertion that votes for self should NOT be counted.

You think I actually like arguing about the same thing over and over again?
9/11 believers want a change in America, but first they need people to realize the Truth.

..and Truth gets the annual DAG Award. ^_^

..and Sevenseize as Most Overzealous Mod Award.

[tony4moroney]

Who the hell is shaggytheclown and how is it possible to vote lapis as the best user when he's rarely posted on NG for the past half year if at all.

Hmm my vote for president would probably be Elfer even though he's often like a little pest.

I would have to say the biggest bullshitter is Memorize

It's a toss-up between Cellardoor and Memorize but I'd go with Cellardoor for lack of integrity. Not the worst poster, but definitely got a lack of integrity.
