I am going to try this again, and make it be less biased than one person putting their input in. I think they should be more like the Emmys/Oscars combined with the awful awards you always get at Prom/Graduation.

The Awards will be officially announced on September 15th, 2004 after I have added up all the nominations. Feel free to PM me your nominations if you don't feel comfortable naming the person in this thread.

Here are the categories;

I am attempting to make these a positive thing, and not a negative thing for the people nominated, which is why I am not doing "Worsts" Awards. I don't think that it's fun to get nominated as the worst of anything, so I'm just not doing it.

I will keep track of nominations in this thread and from my PM's and report the end result on the evening of September 15th. Good luck to everyone.

Whats wrong with negative things, its only negative if you chooses it to be + with out the negative how can there be positive?.



this is a bit hard there are many good posters, have you got any nominations besides my 3.

why do you devide?

Best Male Poster in the Main Forums:
Best Female Poster in the Main Forums:
there is no reason to do that
gender doesn't matter on net

can I have the Devil's Advocate award? :D

if self nominations are allowed, but its Arditezza game so what do i know

ok, so I give myself Avatar's Devil's Advocate award :p

why do you devide?

Actually, it does. Like in all life, gender does matter. You can ignore the division if you'd like... but it's there and undeniable. People who insist that gender doesn't matter are just caught up in the "We should all be short, grey, sexless beings and the world would be at peace" movement.

But that's for a different thread. ;)

no, I mean, on sciforums!
it's pure thought and intelligence that matters, not whether you have boobs or not

p.s. I'm a girl or a boy? maybe I'm an alien? a sexless fairy?

no, I mean, on sciforums!
it's pure thought and intelligence that matters, not whether you have boobs or not

I don't believe that at all. Or it wouldn't be important for people to know. Lots of people, in fact I would say that most people judge you according to your gender if it is known.

ok -> hear thee my oo great example ->
discussion on theoretical physics. two science-wise people discuss a subject on neutrinos. one loses the discussion.
how come the variables xx or xy affect this discussion or the end conclusion?
or anything at all?
what if you don't know the gender? do you assume it's a male?
I'm a sexless pixy/ bite me / what award do I get?
oh.. I don't get an award! this sucks... whether "possitive" or some other kind of a discrimination

So don't nominate anyone, or start your own thread. There is a difference between Devil's Advoate and a Stick-in-the-mud.

well -> I'll certainly have my -lack of logic in issuing illogical awards- award

besides, you didn't answer my example question

Best Rebel Without a Clue:Mr.G

without any doubt in my mind...

How are we supposed to know if one is male or female to begin with?

I believe you're suppose to guess, uhn, who.

no need to guess, I'm a sexless pixie.
award discrimination!

If self-nominations are possible, I'd like to nominate myself for Funniest Poster, Most Humble Poster, and/or Most Open-Minded Poster. Does anyone second that?

You don't need to be seconded in this thread.

I want to nominate myself for the "Most Verbose poster" and "Most Egoistical Poster".

Maybe I can nominate myself for

Most predictable poster.

There is always a good chance that the word faeces is mentioned in any of my posts.

*Gasps* So there is! I see it right now!

How hard did you people hurt your heads when you fell out of bed this morning, have you read your own posts, self nominations are in order :)

Only self nominations? Ok, I nominate myself for
"Poster Most Likely to Change Their Name Weekly"

If that means changing my user status thing, which I do every few days.

To appease the whiney sexless pixie, I have removed the male/female poster "Bests" and replaced it with a "Best Overall Poster" in the main forums.
