The GL Awards - The results are in!

[Kd]

Ok, this is basically an awards thingy where you nominate a GL-er for each specified category, I comile shortlists, and then we all vote for winners. Much like the Oscars, only you get a sound clip of me congratulating you rather than an award, and nobody has to cry in their acceptance speech. ^_^ There are some decent awards, and some I put in for a laugh, but all are worthy titles for any self-respecting or otherwise mentally ill GL resident.

The categories (in sub-sections):

Favourite Moderator
Favourite GL Girl (and to make sure I can't rig this one, you are NOT allowed to nominate me)
Favourite GL Guy
Favourite American GL-er
Favourite European GL-er
Favourite Rest-Of-The-World GL-er

Craziest GL-er
Happy Smiley Sunshiny-est GL-er
Maturest GL-er
Nicest GL-er
Sportiest GL-er

Most Funny/Witty/Generally Laughed At GL-er
Most Shy/Introverted GL-er
Most Intelligent GL-er
Most Respected GL-er
Most Sensible/Rational GL-er
Most Argumentative GL-er

GL-er Who Claims To Have The Biggest A$$
GL-er Least Likely To Win Any Other Award Than This One
GL-er Most Likey To Bed Another GL-er
GL-er Who Lives In A Place Most GL-ers Would Kill To Live In
GL-er Most Likely To Be Secretly Addicted To Marshmallows

[Ghost Post]

i nominate lepton for Favorite GL Girl

[Kd]

Nah, just post nominations, and thankyou RSA, I'll wait and see what other noms I get.

[casinopete]

I have a severe problem with your "sensible/rational" category. The two characteristics simply are not the same.

Favourite GL Guy: Beartalon

[Neo]

vote: A most evil GL'er category

[pikachamp]

can thewre be a most immature title?

[dethwing]

Me? Evil? I'm hurt...

*goes off to cry*

[Ghost Post]

i thought muds was malayasian

[Ningal]

*briefly has evil thoughts about requesting a "GLer most likely to bed several other GLers, possibly in quick succession" category*

*is actually not picking on Kd*

Edit: Dethy, you're so non-evil the variable has overflowed, making you more evil than just about anyone else here...

Edit again: Buzz's ass is nothing compared to mine, at least if the pictures are accurate.

[Kd]

casinopete: I'd advise you to treat the slash between each charactersitic as an 'or', and nominate someone who exhibits one of those characteristics rather than both.

[rlp]

Gee, I'd nominate people, but everyone I would is already there.

[Lepton]

~lights Courk on fire~
Bah, I'll go update the post for you...

[referee]

Luna is rest of the world? I though she was European.

Wouldn't it be fun if Lepton got the favourite boy and favourite girl awards?

[Lepton]

Good point.
Antrax is living in America, and DP lives in France.


[This message has been edited by Lepton (edited 07-15-2003 03:23 PM).]

[Ningal]

Ant won't be in America much longer - a couple more weeks IIRC...

[dethwing]

How about the category "Most likely to demand praise/be praised" ?

[Courk]

I was going to ask why I was burned and stuff. But yeah. I apologize for my illiteracy.

[Beartalon]

What's with the struck-out text? Add your votes and be done with it.

[Ghost Post]

how is the doctor a rest of the worlder? doesn't he live in maine?

[Tahnan]

I don't feel as if I spend enough time here (especially in OT) to take part in the awards, but I would like to say: It's an honor simply to be nominated.

[groza528]

RSA: yes he does. But many people think Maine is in Canada.

[referee]

I'm still wondering how living in Canada makes you a not-American...

[Lepton]

American is conventionally defined as a resident of the USA. So, unless Kd wants otherwise, let's use that definition. (this is not a bid for more nominations )

[Kd]

Lepton: Yeah, that's what I meant. V sorry if I've confused anyone with any of the catgory names.

[Kd]

Ok, it doesn't look like we're getting any more nominations, so would everyone like to e-mail me with their votes (you can only pick one person from each category, and it can't be yourself)?

allyourbasearebelongtome@hotmail.com

[Qaqaq]

*Sends all the voters a promotional fruit basket in a blatant attempt to garner votes*

[A voter]

/sent

[Kd]

Ok, I'm getting votes in already, thankyou to everyone who's voted so far. I'd just like to step in and put a deadline on votes:

Sunday 2 pm GL time

and I'll have the results sometime Monday. ^_^ Get your votes in people, and make them count!

[HyToFry]

The Critic should have been nominated for sexiest GLer.

[wordcross]

Hy, write-in votes are probably accepted

------------------
If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that a hostage situation?

[Lepton]

But write-in categories are not!~needs to get a life~

[wordcross]

says who?? I quite agree. You do need to get a life ;-P

------------------
If a person with multiple personalities threatens suicide, is that a hostage situation?

[Antrax]

[Matthew]

Why is Lepton nominated for both GL girl and GL guy??

[groza528]

Too much ambiguity.

Update: Voting isn't over yet, and I have no idea who's winning in each category (well, I do for some, but I'm not going to tell you ) Uhm... I can reveal that Lepton is still being voted for both Fav GL Girl and Guy, although it's unclear if there's a majority on either of those. Some people are voting for themselves in certain categories:

Anyone who voted for themself up to now still keeps their vote, as I'm not accepting any revised lists (except Hitch's missed ones) but anyone else who votes for themself will have a different vote randomly selected for them. Thankyou to everyone who's sent so far, and thanks also for thanking me... I'm not quite sure why you've been doing it, as I only set this up because I was insanely bored, but I appreciate it all the same. ^_^
