The end of the year is near...and you know what that means..

[Neorave]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I proudly bring to you...

The 2005 Golden StratoLily Award

*LOUD APPLAUSE AND WHISTLES*

Thank you, thank you...oh, you're too kind. Ok, well, being the fact that last year was a big hit for GSA, I thought we do it again. And this time, it's a heluva lot better. First, I've decided to taken out the damn polls being the fact they SUCK! Second, the trophies will be much better than last years (now that I have the right resources to photoshop). And third, and this is a good one...MORE CATEGORIES.

Ok, so this thread is about nominations. Yes, I know, "why are we nominating if we can put down our vote on the thread"...answer...I don't have one. I just felt like putting down a nomination thread just to...oh screw it...

Anyway, here are the categories:
Best Topic
Worst Troll
N00bie of the Year
Best Thread Killer (This'll put an end to the thread murdering attempts)
Best at being a moderator (Meaning the person that would make the best moderator)
Member of the Year
Worst Topic
Most Bored Member

There'll probably be more depending if my brain starts working, or if people give me ideas. So, pretty much use this thread for nominee votes and idea submissions. Actual voting will probably take place next week.

Oh hell yeah. I am really glad you got on this, finally.

Here's my nominations:

Best Topic : don't know
Worst Troll : Jasmine666 (if she qualifies)
N00bie of the Year : htcdude
Best Thread Killer : elvenrhapsody
Best at being a moderator : Stealth
Member of the Year : Beast_Pete

[browneyedgirl]

What about worst topic?
And, best topic?

I think EVANGELION is the worst troll, but of course, I'm biased.

[NeonVomit]

Hmm.. seems like a good list. Also, do something about the craziest member and most entertaining member...

[StragOvariuS]

Maybe the SPAMMER member should be listed too?

[NeonVomit]

Maybe the SPAMMER member should be listed too?

Yes.

[elvenrhapsody]

adslkfja;dsfhas;ufdiap

[Beast_Pete]

Maybe the SPAMMER member should be listed too?

Yes.

I third that.

My list so far (will be edited later, and I won't vote for myself to any of the polls):

Best Topic: NeonVomit with I Am The Thread Killer (it was fun for a while, but it is REALLY killed now)
Worst Troll: EVANGELION... so n00b
N00bie of the Year: htcdude... he's still a n00b
Best Thread Killer: Dave (damn, I would like to vote for myself )
Biggest spammer: htcdude (*cough* )
Best at being a moderator: IceBreaker (it was really hard to decide, I still have to think of cliff more)
Member of the Year: Jens Johansson (damn, he always OWNZ)

[Stratofanius]

(3. edit)

Here comes the answers...

Best Topic: Viimeisin levyhankintasi or The Destroyer Game

Worst Troll: Dave

N00bie of the Year: Morgana, Anubis

Best Thread Killer: Dragee

Best at being a moderator: Browneyedgirl

Member of the Year: Mafiaboy

Worst topic: Speedtest :puke:

Most Bored Member (a.k.a Spammer): Dave

[Neorave]

I've now added Worst Topic and Most Bored Member (a.k.a. The Spammer) as a topic. And, yeah, you can vote for yourself, all matters if other people vote for you too.

[Beast_Pete]

Most bored!=Spammer

[HvyMtlClickWitch]

First, I've decided to taken out the damn polls being the fact they SUCK!

I thought the polls were pretty useful for the GSLA. They're pretty useless in just about every other scenario, IMO, but for this I think it's a good idea.

[HvyMtlClickWitch]

Oh yeah, and for best topic I'd like to nominate the Remove the "wait a while between posts thing"! topic. It led to some good discussion and a lot of excellent points were raised. All in all i felt it was a very productive topic.

I also want to nominate the Engary topic for worst topic. It's like this year's version of Booga Booga.

[Stratofanius]

Could we make another question: Best newbie of this year?

I also want to nominate the Engary topic for worst topic. It's like this year's version of Booga Booga.

Yeah, with Speedtest that topic has been just horrible example of spamming :pissed2:

[Dave]

hehe thanks@Stratofanius


Best Topic: the thread killer thing..
Worst Troll: Fifthtea Sausage, Fifth, 4th Coffee Bratwurst, whatever..
N00bie of the Year: htcdude
Best Thread Killer: B_P
Best at being a moderator: BEG
Member of the Year: Beast_Pete
Worst Topic: Speedtest
Most Bored Member: Stratofanius if you hate those spamming threads, just don't care about them

[Stratofanius]

hehe thanks@Stratofanius

Mm, you're not welcome...

Most Bored Member: Stratofanius if you hate those spamming threads, just don't care about them

And that makes me spammer? :sick: (I mean if you mean word "bored" you're maybe right but if you mean B_P:s message...)

[Dave]

hehe thanks@Stratofanius

Mm, you're not welcome...

mh.. what a pity

Most Bored Member: Stratofanius if you hate those spamming threads, just don't care about them

And that makes me spammer? :sick:

did i say that?

[Stratofanius]

did i say that?

Nope, but if you mentioned that I'm bored, then you're possible right.
But like Pete wrote earlier, Most Bored = Spammer

[Dave]

did i say that?

Nope, but if you mentioned that I'm bored, then you're possible right.

you see.. nothing wrong about my nomination.

But like Pete wrote earlier, Most Bored = Spammer

nope, he wrote

Most bored!=Spammer

and in most programming languages != means "not equal to".

[Stratofanius]

How could I know that? I didn't even notice "!"

[Dave]

then you should take a closer look to posts before refering to them

[Stratofanius]

Maybe... but I haven't ever even heard of that "!" -thing :drop:

[stratoplayer]

KNOCK IT OFF!

[MetalAngel]

I vote for the most useless member on this forum : ME!

[Equinox]

(This will be edited later when Blind Guardian's Precious Jerusalem ends.)
By the way, Neorave, u rock. :headbang:

First, I've decided to taken out the damn polls being the fact they SUCK!

I thought the polls were pretty useful for the GSLA. They're pretty useless in just about every other scenario, IMO, but for this I think it's a good idea.

I agree with ClickWitch.

And I think we should add this category:

Best Finnish member:

(Edit)

[Neorave]

The only problem is that I don't think I can change the polls if we need to add any other nominees. And, @Dave & Stratofanius...

STOP RUINING MY THREAD!!!

[Bones]

[Beast_Pete]

Ohh, damned, you missunderstood me. Or you don't know C and C++.
!= means NOT equal.
So the most bored is not always the biggest spammer.

[Paola]

Best Thread Killer: Equinox

you won me, I was about to say that
