Ehh, I don't know...
I WOULD do it as a nomination, but then I would probably have to end it earlier so we're not voting for like 2 weeks into 2008. PLUS, I will be gone for a few days coming up.
Going to Minneapolis for Xmas. =\

Awful lot of people being mentioned for the troll/worst poster award that I've never seen. Were they insta-banned while I wasn't looking or something?

I think that in each category #1 and 2 vote getters should go to sudden death match.

I'm just kind of sorry I can't give nods to more of the quality posters around here (see: Mortified, Sol, Skunky, Empanado, Grammer, Illustrious, etc etc etc.)
At least you're winning something...

*checks thread*
Holy shit... I AM! Underrated and Darwin (it'll be a fight to the death between me and Elfer!) With nods in 5 other categories. (including awesomeness, rawk!). Seems I need to piss more people off to have a chance of facing off against Cellar or Mem in the "least helpful" category. ;_;
*snort*... who'd'a' thunk.
Get someone to nom you for best newcomer... cuz Sab seems to be running away with that one. After that, it's just a case of getting more posts under your belt. Though, from what I've seen, you might actually rival Wolven for the Bill O. award soon enough.

I have an issue with one vote cast, by TheMason:
Robert Novak Award for Integrity
D2KVirus...sorry buddy but using Wikipedia to try and trump a direct quote from the Constitution! :)
As there was no direct quote from the constitution in the post I was responding to, does this mean Mason has nullified his vote by actually having no integrity in his reasoning when casting the vote?
We should be told!

The funny thing is, every single person who voted me as dishonest has been caught in lies by me before.
Just cute little irony.
Yay, Obama won. Let's thank his supporters:
-The compliant mainstream media for their pro-Obama propaganda.
-Black Panthers for their intimidation of voters.

Imperator...
You don't find it funny at all that you did the exact thing you criticized, WHILE you criticized it?
At least my post was almost exclusively just voting. You felt the need to create a completely unnecessary post to discuss the votes... in order to criticize me for not keeping it in this discussion thread.
What irony.

Oh, and the funny thing is that just about everyone else included a tiny bit of commentary after or before their vote for each category.
Funny how you decided to single me out, and in the process do exactly what you were criticizing.

What irony.
What I find more ironic is the fact that you're on your way to winning the Overrated, Integrity, and Bullshit awards but your ego is so thick you discount it as just the stupid people being "mad" at you and voting against you to cope......
Actually......that's not even irony.....it's just sad......
I simply pointed out the fact that you VIOLATED THE RULES....AGAIN. If moderating is ironic and funny, then call up broadway, cuz I got a comedy act they'll be dying to see.
Oh:
And my post was also "almost exclusively just voting".....nice try (as usual).

Of course, yours was directed at me. And it was rather negative. Everyone else's commentary seemed
Irony would be if I complained about your commentary (which would be a negative commentary of my own).
I simply pointed out a RULE VIOLATION. Yes, technically I made the same violation in the procress. Oh damn, you "caught" me again cellar......
By the way:

The dude gets proved wrong so often it's not even funny."
Who are you trying to convince? Newgrounds, or yourself? :/

The funny thing is that every single person who voted for me in those areas has been proved wrong and humiliated by me multiple times, and some of them were caught lying multiple times as well. Thus showing that they voted due to their grudge, and thus further showing how dishonest they are.
Especially you.... twice: 1, 2
Probably more times than that though.
And this applies for Grammer, and D2Kvirus as well.
Actually......that's not even irony.....it's just sad......

Not only had you ALREADY done it beforehand:

But you also devoted an entirely unnecessary post to pointing out that I had done it:

Keep it in the DISCUSSION THREAD.

Thus you criticized someone for something you did, and then you happened to do that very thing WHILE you criticized them.
That's how dishonest you are.
If moderating is ironic and funny
Haha, you mean... criticizing people for things that you had just done? You call that moderating? Wouldn't that be backseat moderating, and hideously hypocritical backseat moderating at that?
Oh:
And my post was also "almost exclusively just voting"
I had one single commentary for my votes. I made no unnecessary posts and the vast majority of my post was votes and nothing else.
You not only had commentary in YOUR voting post, but you created a completely different post, which included NO votes, just in order to point your finger at me.
Lol, more proof of how little honesty you have.
Yay, Obama won. Let's thank his supporters:
-The compliant mainstream media for their pro-Obama propaganda.
-Black Panthers for their intimidation of voters.
