Ironworks award night

[wellard]

With the permision (yet to be attained) of the general discussion moderators I was thinking of compiling a list of awards that could be given out at the end of the year. Such awards as :-

1) funniest thread

2) funniest post

3) best comeback or putdown

4) best signature

please suggest more.

Now I was also going to keep a list of all nominees in each catagory on file. if you wanted to nominate something for one of the awards, and it would have to be really really fall on the floor crying funny. Then you could pm me with the link and I would make a list for someone or small group to judge at the end of the year.

The aim would be to collect a few classics together over time like charlies shop of shite

Hope you all like this idea.. or hate it .... let me know! [img]graemlins/heee.gif[/img]

Such awards as :- 1) funniest thread Never finished BG1 or played BG2 - but I have read Charlie's Shoppe of Shite - artwork at it's best. 2) funniest post Click, woomph, splat - a post from Moni in the W&W forum dramatising her efforts to get her party to ride the cart in the stout mines - forget the actual name of the thread - was by Efreeti Geenie (now called Nanobyte) and was about funny things in W&W. 3) best comeback or putdown First second and third nominations are all by Donut - take your pick on his best post, but subtitlety is at its most effective when it has been completely misunderstood - seeing as how I should vote for a post - then I chose the comeback he made to MagiK's post about the Aussie Policeman - wasn't heavily subtitled, but boy was it quick and effective. 4) best signature Can't go past the sultry elflet archbabe

Such awards as :- 1) funniest thread There are several hilarious threads in the W&W forum as well. All of Saz´s Gael Serran examiners are a riot. The "Giggling so hard you miss the keys" is another one. (This is where Moni posted the post Davros mentioned) Freudian Slip´s shimwiki/ukabu threads are also hilarious. [img]smile.gif[/img] 2) funniest post Concur with Davros on this one. 3) best comeback or putdown Can´t think of any at the moment. Have to get back to you on that. 4) best signature I´m going to go with Calthy´s new sig. Giggling so hard, you´re missing the keys. [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] Read it! I dare you.

1) funniest thread- I would go with the Shoppe of Shite, though Threads We Would Like To See would be second.

2) funniest post:I would nominate Galadria's when she was posting on Larry's "Somebody Keeps Sending Me Porno Links." thread. She said that it couldn't have been her, "I don't even know how to send a link (Tries to fit a sausage in the CD-ROM tray)."

3) best comeback or putdown; Epona, when she followed one of /)eathkiller's long, mystical posts with just, "Bollocks." An argument that not all single word posts are spam.

4) best signature-I agree with Davros (somebody revive him!) Her voice is still ambrosia.

Funniest thread -- Charlie's Shoppe of Shite is definitely one of the best threads I've ever read. I though about voting for my own "Link, the Crocodile Hunter" thread, but that wasn't all too funny, IIRC. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Funniest post -- Hmm.. hard one. I don't really remember any really good/funny posts anymore. Will think about it, and edit it later on. ADD: Maybe caleb's insane posts are the best there is.. They're sometimes soo stupid they're funny

Best comeback/putdown -- Again a dunno, and again I will edit/add later on.

Best signature -- I think Memnoch's. He hasn't changed his sig in such a long time, that I really admire him for that [img]smile.gif[/img] Melusine is a close second.

1) best thread:
Pong!

2) best post...
Ping!

3) Best comeback or putdown:


4) best signature
*thinks really hard* maaaan that's a tough decision...
Hmm...
Deffinetly... most definetly the most detail I ever put into an image, which was sig sized, that also captured the escence of innocence I think had to be this one:

I know it sounds simple enough, but this sort of thing has been done in the past and has caused some people to have hurt feelings or to leave altogether. Even though nobody intends to do it, there's always someone who feels slighted or left out- so it's very hard to do a thread like this without making at least a few people feel bad.

I'd suggest only VERY generic 'awards' like 'best overall thread' if you feel you must do it. Anything relating to individuals can backfire on you if we aren't very careful.

How about a ' Most underratted poster' award.

Or heck, why not a ' Most Overrated Poster' award [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Quick fact-ping and pong weren't funny...started, as you saw, with a drunk Deathbringer on MSN and ended up on IW after I had one too many fizzy jerks and too much coke (and gave LS a virtual kick up the butt to aid me-it was either ping-pong or a takeover of the BG forum [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img] )
1) Charlie's shop, though for the participants the Party thread and The Charge of Chaos was pretty fun
2)Too many to count...My cafe pun, Sigmar's rap-song, and generally pretty much anything Johnny says [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]
3)Anything by Donut or Sazerac
4) I really like Dagorion's kitty-cat
