I want to continue this thread with the vote for best name.
Donut (Son of Donut), you have won my respect with the coolest name on the forum.

I don't feel much for this thread, a lot of people here could feel hurt. As for the Olympics, I always feel sad for the 2nd best (because in the long run we tend to remember only the gold medal), and especially for the guy who ends up 4th. Often for so tiny a difference !

I guess I know some people here better than others, so I will hazard a few votes, but then, the two times when I have felt bad, last Friday and back when I had my car accident, I have been so amazed at the number of people who liked me that I was not aware of, so please keep in mind that if a name pops in my mind first, it probably means only that I have met him/her longer than others.

The most helpful person - would have been Armisael (BG II topics) and LadyWendyZekke (personal topics) for me
The wittiest and funniest person - an ex-aequo with Yorick, Charlie and Armie again
The most spirited and cultured and insighful - the same trio as above
The best signature - would be Worm ("Yes, I crawl, so what ?"), alas seems that he left
The best Topic - all the topics that have made us know each others better
The sweetest newcomer - fighter-thief

The worst Topic - Zertyr's "New board for Polls", did anyone expect another from me ?

And you won't get anything from me about "the best date" or "the most charming" !!!

I feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Armie, you are a cutie.

Oh, and Drake, your initial pseudo 'Bocaj' had made me laugh a great deal, but as a private French joke : my husband name is Luc, and if you read it backward ... you get the French word for "ass" ...

Well, this threads tend to be a tedious clash but well obviously there are some names that everyone keep naming so I wont do that too! You guys know that you´re appreciated already

I would go for a wuzzy naming, and thank all of you, for good questions, ideas and of course good answers. Together with the multitude of people lies this boards secrets. All topics have had a reason (well most) and the off-topic-polls have been very amusing and fun to read.

Thanx you all, you added a couple of valued hour extra to Baldurs gate 2.

I'm still so new here that I shall have to refrain from naming names and would not want to risk leaving anyone out if I did!

But I have to say thank you to ladyzekke-that makes me feel quite welcome here!
And to BK: Don't know how I earned that lovely comment, but thank you for saying it.
I really hope your Valentine's Day goes well!

And Lord of Alcohol: Whoa! I'm gonna be laughing all day and there is no way I'll be able to explain to the office why!

These things are a little personalized and subjective for my tastes, you can't name one without another...and another...and another coming to mind. A quick go anyway.

The most helpful person,...Too many to mention them all. Turbovee, Accord, Memnoch, Armisael and about 50 others spring to mind.
The funnist person,...again, bloody hard. Lord of Alcohol, Absynthe, Armisael, Ladyzekke and others have had me absolutely creasing up.
The best Topic,... probably the (English?) chocolate bar.....and any one of hundreds on this board.
People requiring special mention for whatever reason and in no particular order...Ladyzekke, Moiraine, Yorick, Talieson, Turbovee, Absynthe, Lord of Alcohol, Accord, Armisael, Memnoch, G.W, B.K, "Hell lich" Wah, WOLFGIR, Malla Gabriel, Ertai Wizard Adept, Jon the Hell Caster, Ziroc, Guppy the goldfish and my agent. If yer name ain't down it don't mean you ain't coming in. These spring immediately to mind and deepest apologies if you feel left out...I loves you all.

Thanks for my votes, pleased I made some of you smile. Moiraine...cultured...insightful..wow thanks. Did you give the old Pernod bottle a good hiding last night by any chance...

You're all beautiful people, I luvs ya loads.....nuff said.

Taliesin! Please dont fall through the floor! I hate doing remodelling!!! The sheer cost to you in beer would be staggering! And I guess I'd be staggering also. Ha!

Also- I also like the name Donut (son of Donut), I laughed like hell at that one

I think there are more awards to give...

Special Award for... RIKARD
Special Award for... KHAEL
Special Award for... RIKARD T´ARANAXZ

Oh, and thanks to Lady Zekke and Charlie for remembering me

I never actually answered this thread.

Helpful: Memnoch
Funniest: Charlie
Insightful: Hmm... Yorick, Memnoch, possibly Moiraine...
Signature: Nabus for his 'Evil Inside' picture
Smiles: Ah, everyone uses them so much... dunno.
Topic: Probably Charlie's Shite Sale at the moment.
Most likely to be an accountant: G.W.

Ta, Armie!

OK since no-one's feelings are getting hurt by this post, i'll put my votes in.

I'm putting Armisel in as most helpful, you know the MOST about the game (man ur almost up to 2000 posts!) i try to help people think about the question they're asking rather than give them the answer straight out. From my experience as a consultant - never give them a straight answer - make them think about it! But Armisael has tremendous depth of knowledge on the game.

As for funniest, that would have to be a tie between Charlie (the SHITE post ROFLMAO!!!) and Rikard aka Jay C Mendez. Everything he posts is funny, he has the funniest comments sometimes! I remember a classic in the Rikard vs Wah post where Jon started getting involved then Rikard posts saying:

Hey Jon next time you write tell us cos u kinda screwed up the script, hey don't get me wrong we like your involvement but tell us because we already wrote the storyline.

Please note that where Jon says Rikard and Kael it should be Rikard and his 6 apprentices

Back to when Rikard was killing Jon

LMAO when i read that!

We forgot one person: best moderator: ZIROC!!!!!!!!!

Lets us get away with anything

hm the best modeter wasn;t in it becoz well
HE IS THE BEST EVER WITHOUT ANY QUESTION
so why ask?????????????????????????????????????

(this smilei is SOOOOOOO funny

(vry cute)
hm lets blue flame him
but er
well my butt is gonna hurt

Ahh, but I think I'd give Ramon the 'silver tongue' award for his ever-so-sweet comments on my names in the now missing 2nd half of that thread.

Well thanx dude!!! So whats cookin lately? Anyone else on leave?

(sigh)

I voiced my feelings about polls of this nature on another thread. I think they can create jealousy and cliquiness. However if you can't beat them join them.

There's another dude who I've forgotten. I hassled you about your name a while back. Sorry mate.. I'm tired.

Anyhow those are my awards. I'm sure over time they'll be added to.

Cheerio dear friends

Yorick

Yoriuc WHat are you trying to do to me
Giving the best mage award to Ertai
I'll change that for you

Best Mage award - Ertai / Rikard
Most Faithfull member - Ertai

Well you had the most original posting style. Mind you, you could also get Most schitzo/chameleonesque sig award.

Are you trying to be the Marion Jones of the board Rikard? Going for gold in heaps of categories!

Ha.. I know what Yorick is up to: Cover EVERYBODY and then nobody will feel left out. Very wise and everyone is happy cause they have been mentioned.

C'mon Migosh it's not that simplistic! I left out some dudes that I haven't spoken too. Sorry guys, but we CAN rectify that henceforth - G'day! (Nabus, Demus, puzzled, Artea etc)

I 'dug' the philisophical conversation we had bro.

Let me add to that:

Most Thoughtful and Considerate: Yorick!!!!!!

Awwwwwwwwww (starts drawing pictures in the sand with foot while blushing like a girl)

I don't know whether to thank you or flame you for my first mention in the poll Yorick! I am just getting in touch with my feminine side and I like to be different. If there had been a vote for the most postus interruptus, I would have been a sure fire winner. Anyway I might start using Memnoch's suggestion of Stealth Bomber instead of Suul-Yinn as my nickname, as I am now playing with a new and male character. Anyway here are my votes:

Most helpful: Memnoch/Armisael. I can't split them as I love them too much(oops there goes my feminine side again)
Funniest: Rikard or Charlie. My arse is getting very sore from all this fence-sitting. No comments Yorick!
Most Insightful: Moiraine
Best Signature: Whoever started the gifs, I forget
Best use of smilies: Rikard and his touching tale of they who shall not be named.
Best Topic: Too many to mention
Worst: Any Bard's are really good honest post. (God now I've done it)

Although I haven't mentioned a lot of my favourite posters, Yorick, Ladyzekke, Wah, Melusine, Ertai and others too many too mention, I think that this site would not be as good as it is except for all your input. Special mention goes to Ziroc, without whom this post couldn't exist.

Yeah well, there you go Suul-Bomber. Aussie humor at it's worst I'm sure I'll get flamed from some of the others before long.....

I believe Asphyxiate had the earliest picture in his sig. Computer programming wizard that he is. First I saw anyway.

How could I have forgotten Ziroc too. D'ohhhhhh

This is my contibution:
Helpful-Memnoch.(All round)
Funniest-Charlie.(Shite Store,that poor PIXIE)
Insightful-(Hey what is this oh, oh right)Moirane.
Signature-Melusine.(Where'd she go.)
Smilies-Moirane (see her going on about every time she smiled she put a smilie it would look like this).
Topic-Who knows so many.
P.S i agree with Memnoch about Yorick(the only person to include me and not leaving anyone left out).

Curse my previous votes. Lucky guys you are, connecting from home !
I had very little spare time back then, I was at work, so I kept my post short, is all.
Now it is the week-end, so I will post the long version !

Lucre, you are the sweetest - ex-aequo with Fighter-Thief, of course !!!

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
Thanx Moirane (blushes deeply)

Yorick, have you read my errr.. slightly insane post back some on page two or possibly 3?
Well its just that i got two mentions and so i think the awards should go to someone else.
The ones i reviced were:
Most Arch-angelic award: Malla Gabriel
Open minded forgiveness award: Azuth

I'm Marion Jones??????

you know i would go for the award m,emnoch armiseal and you yorick get
I would be Pieter van der Hoogeband kicking Aussies from first place

Ian Torpedo my arse

DAMN! Last time I was nominated (thanks, Yorick) for something it was "Most Likely to Suffer a Slow, Painful Death at the Hands of an Ex-Wife, Fiance, Girlfriend or Casual Female Acquaintance."

Most Helpful: Memnoch
Funniest: Too many to mention
Most Insightful: Charlie, Moiraine and Ladyzekke (dead heat/photo finish)
Best Signature: Too many to mention
Best Use of Smiles: Too many to mention
Best Topic: Ladyzekke (What Books Do You Read?)
Most Unhelpful: C'est Moi! (I'm too dumb to realize I don't know anything)
Most Annoying: C'est Moi! (again - too lazy/incompetent to find earlier posts so I repeat questions/topics)
Worst Topic: Any topic which suggested removing Off Topic polls
Worst Suggestion Accepted (by me): "C'mon, give magery a try!" from the normally lucid, intelligent and funny Rikard.

Yorick,

Nice list. That thoughtful award is most assuredly yours! Um, should I be pleased at mine? I'm not sure I know just what the award is for, albeit the "alluring" part sounds nice enough!


Cloudbringer, wondering if she posts too much for a newcomer

What? So you're telling me Gabriel, Malla Gabriel and Azuth are one and the same?

Cloudbringer: Part B is because of our similar belief systems! So yes you should be pleased, I was being complimentary!
And no you're not a newcomer anymore.

What the hell? Identity crisis award?! hehe... ey, at least I have something!!!! And Im BACK!

Helpful-Memnoch/Armisael
Funny-Well, everyone who cracks me up... I forgot... oops
Big Sister-No other that ladyzekke... or should I say sister Wendy? It sounds like youre a nun or something.
Annoying-Bagger? hehe nah
Topic-Anything with lots of replies... it means it is good.

That's all I could think of right now... as for my long lay-off, school is draining the life out of me... well pressure.

Yorick,

Thank you dear Bard. I appreciate that compliment quite a bit. How's the traveling? Jet lag catch up with you yet?

And I wondered about Malla/Gabriel...didn't catch onto Azuth.

FWIW, Malla/Gabriel has been a perfect dear to me, always helpful and very sweet.

Not a newcomer anymore? Wow. Nifty!

Bahamut pare good to see u back! Congrats on being a part of history in Manila.
