2009 ILP Awards

You have my support as time permits.

Despite the fact there’s not many of them on the forum, I reckon there should be an award for best alias.

So let it be written, so let it be done.

How about “Best Username”?

You know, I really didn’t want to introduce an award that I would so easily win…

But, it’s in.

(Just kidding about the first part)

Some suggestions:

Most crypic poster who is still interesting
Most slippery (affectionate award)
Most tangential (iow off topic)
Most left field
Most interesting questioner
Sexiest - must be only going by the posts

Cryptic-Yes

Slippery- I think dodgy may be a better word, if it’s all the same to you. If you have any objections to dodgy as opposed to slippery, let me know, either way, it’s in.

Tangenital- With all due respect, I think this may be a little over-specified insomuch as that it crosses over into categories already approved.

Left Field- Let’s do it!

Questioner- Let’s call it the Socratean award.

Sexiest: You know, we have a post your picture thread. By the way, what did I just say about categories where I am the hands-down decision? j/k Anyway, it is conditionally in provided we have a category for both males (real or perceived) and females (real or perceived). If you object to a category for each gender it is not in.

Three Other Things:

1.) The reception for this idea has been much better than I originally anticipated, we will soon have more categories than members!!! As a result, I would like to change the deadline for suggesting categories from February 23rd (Monday) to February 16th (Also Monday)

At that point I will make a final category list and create a new post wherein people may be nominated. I think that nominations should be held until the 28th of February.

On March 1st the topic will be created for the actual voting to take place, and I would like to have voting continue until March 15th. The winners will be announced on March 16th.

2.) Only users with a joined date on or before yesterday, February 7th, 2009, will have their votes considered. I don’t imagine anyone would ever try to cheat with BS usernames, but you never know.

3.) With the permission of Carleas, I would recommend that banned users also be eligible for award nomination.

I think that sounds fine…
:smiley: Do the winners get an all expense paid trip to Iceland???

Granted, although we will need a separate category for administrator. In virtue of there being only one, and that being you, you will be both the gayest and the straightest. Kudos on the achievement, few can sustain such a powerful contradiction.

How about most Hegelian user name of active members with 2000-2500 posts and a tenure of more than 5 years.

I’m nominating three times great for something, I’m not sure what, but something. That guy just came out of nowhere and started contributing substantially to the site. Good reading material, maybe “best new poster” or “most thorough” or something like that. What are the categories again?

:laughing:

smears you crack me up…

How?

I’ve already started the thread for nominations.

Magsj…

Have I missed something here…I don’t even think you have a rude bone in your body, not even one, do you? I must pay better attention…but I don’t think so…

I certainly hope so. Are you knocking Iceland, Kris. For so long, I’ve wanted to go there.

First I wanted to go to the City of Lights and sail down the Seine on a barge…but now it’s Iceland, all of that ice and snowy mountans and hot springs…I’m there. Pristine heaven…

T’would seem I can’t even get out of Jersey though… :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance: :banana-dance:

Oh, it’s just a little somethin I’m working on… :smiley: an aspiration, perhaps…

Okay then…good luck with that :laughing: :laughing: Perhaps you are seeking the “middle way” between nice and rude.

I am aspiring to hug a wolf someday soon…a real wolf that is.

Have fun Magsj out of the world :banana-dance:

:smiley: No, I am not knocking it, I would love to see it when it is not covered in Ice and snow, You may be able to take the Ice part being from Jersey but, not me. The place has significant human history attached to it. It should be a treat for any humanist to visit.
