I'll put these up for now, I haven't decided on the other ones yet. In some cases I'm debating between multiple users/settings... :(
Quote from: PoseidonRookie of the Year - Snargash Moonclaw
I could be wrong, but I think that's Salacious Angel.
Quote from: Sdr$g$n1984Quote from: PoseidonRookie of the Year - Snargash Moonclaw
I could be wrong, but I think that's Salacious Angel.
You would be wrong (unless he is using two names.) Snargash only joined us 7 months ago. I forget what name Salacious has at this point.
Something like "Lath." Who can ever tell with that guy? ;)
Quote from: IshmaylSomething like "Lath." Who can ever tell with that guy? ;)
What did i do now? :huh:
I only have this account... and i joined around a week ago...
Did i just get nominated for something? (sarcasim)
Nope, you did nothing - we have someone on this site that is constantly changing his name, and I thought he had recently changed his name to "Lath," but that's apparently not correct! :)
It's Latro!
I'm just posting on this thread for the hell of it.
S&M is definitely getting my 'rookie' vote.
LC is getting my most pragmatic. I get some of my best feedback from him, and the time he spent of some of those reviews is humbling. More than anyone else, I await LC reviews with hushed tones and rapt attention.
S&M gets best Fluffer (i even like the way that sounds. ('You oughta be in pictures...')
Jharviss is the best, most Iconic Avatar, for me. It is more arresting and says more than most.
s&m GETS cebegia OF THE YEAR, IF i CANNOT NOMINATE THE sEAGOD.
My 'Best setting' vote is difficult. I was looking through my posts (and realizing I talk too much again). I've posted a lot on the Jade Stage (including a still-unanswered post from months ago), New Edom (where the Hell is Tybalt, anyways????), Panisadore, Resonance, Phaedoras, Tasothilos, Tephra, and more.
JadeStage is out, says LC. Tybalt has gone missing, damnit. mmm.
This is hard. I nominate Avayevnon: A World Reborn. IO like the styles and religions and the thoughtfulness of putting it together as a whole, not just the pieces.
___
For most missed, it would be Tybalt for me. He and I traded reviews and comments for a sold 4-5 months, always with assistance for the other one.
Can I nominate myself for worst tavern abuser??????
_______________________________________________________________________________________
I accept nominations for Pragmatic poster, Fluffernutter, Cebegian, and Setting. And gratefully.
I decline nomination for rookie, as I think there have been newer members who have made more much better splashdowns than my particular cannonball-esque dive into the CBG pool.
[spoiler=Cantankerous bastard]
And I was a cantankerous bastard a few times from the very beginning. Not in a good way. Not to get into particulars, but I do not deserve consideration for that award.[/spoiler]
______________________________________________________________________
HEY, ISHY, MULTIPLE UPDATES!!!!
Considering what "fluff' means in the film industry, that's rather disturbing. . .
Trust me, you want to accept it.
And since I wasn't even aware that you're still a rookie, then I guess my RotY vote goes to you!
I have been waiting for this thread like you would not believe. Some of these are really tough choices, and it makes me sad (though it is fair and makes sense!) that I can only nominate one person per category.
I'm not listing the various runners-up, or expounding upon my tough choices, but I guess if people are curious (and we can discuss this without hurt feelings) I will divulge information about the very close seconds and thirds. I have also gone to great lengths to nominate different people for all categories, even though there are some who might easily qualify for three, four, or more. Take that as you will.
[ic=the Crayon's Writing on the Wall]Friendliest Poster - We need to quit procrastinating and officially name sdragon1984 as our diplomat, envoy, and greeter.
Rookie of the Year - I am nominating Neubert, for two reasons. First, all of my other runners-up for this category are fairly active and visible, and I'm sure they will get nominations from others. Second, it's a clever ploy to get Neubert to post more. I want to know more about Wetra.
Old Folks - So many good friends all around, but the person I'm most glad to see back at the site is Xathan. Go get the best robe and the best sandals, and slaughter the fatted calf, because the prodigal CBGer has returned.
Best Username - Again, a tough choice, since there are a lot of evocative names in this community. Because it fits his personality so well, I'm going to have to nominate Poseidon, a name that embodies the caprice, power, and solemn dignity that its bearer has led us to expect of him.
Best Avatar - I have no idea what it's from or what it means, but I could watch Beejazz's avatar all day long. It's absolutely mesmerizing.
Pragmatic Poster - There are a lot of ways to interpret this category. My understanding of it leads me to make the obvious choice of Limetom, who should post much more often, because I always feel smarter after reading his insights.
The Best Crunch - I have admitted many times when reviewing the work of others that I tend not to read crunch. To me, it is of secondary importance to the world and story details it supports, and I skip over it in favor of material I consider more vital. I know that we have some veritable crunchmasters in our midst, and by reputation I even know who some of them are. But knowledge by reputation only is not enough for me to base a nomination upon, so although I am leaving my nomination for this category empty, know that my decision here is not a comment on any perceived lack of talent or deservedness in the community.
The Best Fluff - I don't understand all of it all of the time, but I have to give credit to Golem/Wensleydale for the incredible depth of detail and thoughtfulness that is present in every damn thing he writes. I wish I could be half so thorough and precise. In spite of the dizzyingly high quality of Golem's work, this was definitely one of the hardest choices to make, because the competition is absolutely fierce from all corners of the site.
Best Wiki User - A tough call, because there are many people who have done vital and fantastic work on the behind-the-scenes scaffolding of the wiki. Because I'm confident that they will get the recognition they deserve, I feel obligated to single out the wiki user who I believe has best demonstrated how to use the wiki format to display a setting to maximum effect. This setting's pages are well-designed, logically interconnected with links and categories, easy to navigate around, and visually stunning. I can be referring to none other than Ishmayl, for his work on the Shadowfell wiki.
Cebegian of the Year - I don't follow CeBeGia, so I don't feel qualified to make a nomination for this category. Sorry!
Best Setting - This is probably the most difficult choice for me. There's a ton of quality work on this site, and it's all different and fascinating, so making a choice here is absolutely agonizing. Ultimately, my choice in this category has been heavily influenced by the "completeness level" of the setting, and the perceived level of activity involving the setting taking place (which is to say, one close runner-up was decided against due to long inactivity about that setting.) Though the race was very, very close between three settings, I am pleased to nominate Celtricia, by LordVreeg.[/ic]
Stand up and be recognized, you outstanding members of our community.
I myself feel too new to the CBG to be able to nominate anyone. I just wanted to say that whoever wins, you all are brilliant campaign builders.
Luminous Crayon,
I am extremely grateful for your nomination - I have had a ton of fun with the wiki. However, I will be declining all nominations this year just as I did last year. I feel that since I am the one accepting and counting votes, it would not be right to count votes for myself. Thanks anyway, and you may nominate someone else if you choose. :)
I have updated the first post to include a list of nominations, as well as whether or not they have been accepted or declined yet, for each heading. Please accept or decline your nominations, and if you add any new nominations to your post (I'm talking to you, Poseidon! :) ), make sure you let me know you've updated your thread.
Quote from: IshmaylPlease accept or decline your nominations, and if you add any new nominations to your post (I'm talking to you, Poseidon! :) )
When I get to the ones I left out I'm going to make a new post and not edit my post.

You sir have left me speechless. I do not know how to respond to this, nor can I think of anything witty as a reply. I thank you for your kind words and humbly accept the nomination.
Holy :censored: ! I've been nominated for something?! Holy :censored: !
Since I don't consider myself a big enough member to decline any nominations, I most certainly accept! Thanks LC!
By the way, I'd nominate Jade Stage as the best setting, but you won that last year, and I don't think it would be fair to the other users and their settings. I hope you understand that it's nothing personal!
Edit- Also, since there's no point in nominating somebody that's already been nominated, can I change my Rookie nomination? I wasn't aware that Crippled Crow is still a rookie, and I see he (she?) isn't nominated yet.
What?! How dare no one nominate me for anything! I hereby nominate myself for all the categories!
</egogasm>

Of course. In fact, I intend to decline any possible nominations of the Jade Stage for Best Setting, for the same reason. We need new blood!
Quote from: Luminous CrayonOf course. In fact, I intend to decline any possible nominations of the Jade Stage for Best Setting, for the same reason. We need new blood!
Do you also intent to decline Poseidon's nomination of you for Friendliest Poster? ;)
Friendliest Poster - There are so many friendly people around here! :D It's difficult to single anyone out, especially since the current nominations are good, and Ishmayl would decline.
Rookie of the Year - Being a "rookie" myself, I don't really feel qualified to say anything about the RotY.
Old Folks - Along the same lines, I can't really say anything here-- I just haven't been around here long enough.
Best Username -
Seraphine HarmoniumBest Avatar -
slapzilla. It makes me giggle every time I see it!
Pragmatic Poster -
LordVreeg, despite also being a shameless thread necromancer.
Best Crunch - I'm not really very "crunchy" so I don't think I can say anything worthwhile.
Best Fluff -
Phoenix, for Kishar and Eclipse. I have very much enjoyed reading over these settings, especially Eclipse.
Best Wiki User - Well, I guess I'll be a bit controversial. I see what LC said about Jade Stage stuff, but this category didn't exist last year. I've enjoyed reading over the Jade Stage material on the wiki, and found it very well presented. So, I nominate
Luminous Crayon. Decline if you like, but I thought I'd at least officially put it out there. :)
Cebegian of the Year - I don't follow CeBeGia so again I recuse myself.
Best Setting - Oh, they're all so good. It's a tough, tough call. I may have to think about this one more.
Ok and:
QuoteBest Wiki User - Sparkletwist
I accept. :)
Nobody wants to accept my nominations, maybe because I didn't put spiffy reasons like Senior Glowing wax stick. :(
Edit: Great accept one while I'm typing sparkletwist. Sheesh!
Nominations Round 2, FIGHT!...
Best Username - Elemental_Elf
Pragmatic Poster - Epic_Meepo
The Best Fluff - Xathan
Still deciding on the old folk and the setting.
Wow, nominated for two things. I'll accept both - I really appreciate it, LC and Poseidon. :D Now I need to get my own nominations up.
I graciously accept Luminous Crayon's nomination for Pragmatic Poster.
I'll try to put up my own nominations sometime between the heat death of the universe and the release of Duke Nukem Forever (yes, they will occur in that order). :D
I accept my nods for best avatar and best crunch. I'm getting my nominations in order.
Like last year, I'm going to accept all* nominations. Even if I don't understand what would drive some of you to make the choices you do (maybe it's your cat walking on the keyboard, stepping on L and then C?), I feel like it'd be throwing a wrench in the works if I don't let you pick who you want to pick.
*Unlike last year, there's a caveat. If anybody tries to nominate the Jade Stage for Best Setting, I will decline it, so don't waste your vote that way. I won that last year, so let's not get repetitive and boring-- nominate somebody else! There are countless worthy choices.

I[/i] certainly wouldn't vote for me, I don't think it's my place to meddle in your nomination process by declining and suggesting you pick somebody else, either.
If you really want to ease my mind, pick one of our many outstanding worlds around the site to nominate for Best Setting. :yumm:
Quote from: LordVreegLC is getting my most pragmatic. I get some of my best feedback from him, and the time he spent of some of those reviews is humbling. More than anyone else, I await LC reviews with hushed tones and rapt attention.
I guess I'm mostly surprised that anybody feels quite so strongly about what I have to say. This post also reminds me... I have a list of things to get busy reading and reviewing, and I ought to get started.
Now that I'm all flattered and flabbergasted, I suppose I should get to work about living up to all the kind words that have been aimed in my direction.
I think I have everything up top up to date - let me know if I'm missing any nominations or acceptions/declinations
Actually, I think LC sets a good general guideline that no member should be able to win the same award twice (at least not for the same setting in the case of Best Setting). Spread the love. So yeah, I'll accept anything I'm nominated for except Friendliest. But then I also think Ishy should reconsider not accepting nominations; it's not like you're appointing victors, just tallying votes (course I suppose you'd reject an SF nomination for other reasons now).
Admittedly, I haven't been around (at least off the wiki) as much this year, especially lately, but I'll try to give some nominations. And I'm late, but I won't feel bad about nominating people already nominated.
Friendlist - Luminous Crayon
Rookie - Snargash Moonclaw
Old Folks - WickedTroll
Best Username - Pfenix Sword. Yeah, he never posted and may never come back to accept the nomination. But how can I pass that up?
Best Avatar - Xathan
Pragmatic Poster - LC
Best Crunch - abstain. Almost always gloss over it.
Best Fluff - Lord Vreeg. I've only begun to wade through all of that detail.
Best Wiki User - Sparkletwist. Hands down.
CeBeGeian - abstain. Never looked at it.
Best Setting - Wake. Only read a little, but it's definitely a divergence from the norm.
and a new category:
Most Missed: Raelifin. Anybody heard from him lately? Though it was a hard choice.
Okay, NOW updated, and yes, I miss Raelifin too. :( And Phoenix, I appreciate the sentiment, but I will still decline nominations.
Someone please let me know if I've missed anything.
Best Setting -
WickedTroll, for his work on
Haveneast - The Fairytale and the Nightmare. While it might not win, everyone should take a look at this.
All the other folks that I would nominate have already been mentioned, and I'll put my votes where I please.
EDIT:Quote from: Phoenixand a new category:

Raelifin is alive and well, finishing up some college finals these days. He just hasn't been much for world-building lately. I'll pass it on that he's missed, however. Maybe he'll stop by to say hi.
QuoteSomeone please let me know if I've missed anything.
Amidst my other rambling, I did accept the nomination, too.
Still pondering nominations. As for those received I'm happy to accept for Rookie and Fluff. However, my fiance has expressly forbidden me to actively campaign for "Best Fluffer," going so far as to threaten to hide my web-cam 'til after the awards are given.
Thanks for the nominations, Phoenix and Rose of Montague. I accept them, and I'll be posting my nominations soon. :D
I've been nominated for best avatar? Sweet. I accept. I'll post my nominations shortly. I've got to think about these.

:o
Wow, thanks, LC. I accept. Surprised as I am.
Hmm... what can I decide upon without long thought?
Best Avatar - Xathan. It both disturbs and intrigues me.
I know he's up for several items, but I must -
I nominate Luminous Crayon for Best Fluff.
Does it surprise anybody that, out of the 11 categories, LC is declining one (Best Setting, which he won last year), ineligible for another (Rookie), and has been nominated for 4 of the 9 remaining?
The luminosity of his crayon is like a bug zapper. It draws you in, charming your mind. There is no resistance.
resistance is futile?
And to cover the majority of applicable categories, I'm nominating him for Old Fogeys. Ish, have you updated my Rookie nomination?
I am nominating LordVreeg for Rookie of the Year - I was surprised when he hadn't been nominated yet, but then when I looked at his info, he's 11 months old, which is close enough that people may have just forgotten! Anyhoo, no excuses now!
Wow, we have lots of good rookies this year, don't we? Vreeg, SM, Crippled Crow, Sparkletwist....
LordVreeg is a rookie? That's awkward to consider. ^_-
Wait vreeg has only been here one month more than me?! O_o

Actually, i wasn't aware of that either. And i am indeed a he.
But really, i'm deeply honored to be nominated for this award! So even though i probably don't stand a chance against the other CBG-rookies i can see have been nominated, i'll gladly accept the nomination. Thank you :)

You're in a tough crowd of Rookies, but on the other side, you're a strong contender! Don't throw away the hat, you've got just as much clout as the others here. ;)
And you have a rocking avatar. I never noticed that before.
Edit: And now SM has a hilarious new avatar, too. When did this happen?
Make sure if you see someone who hasn't accepted their nomination yet, you send them a PM or something to let them know, in case they have missed it.
[blockquote=Jharviss]LordVreeg is a rookie? That's awkward to consider. ^_-[/blockquote]
[blockquote=Nomadic]Wait vreeg has only been here one month more than me?! O_o[/blockquote]
I love you guys too. Whatever you meant by those comments... :question: :-p
Well, there is a good reason you haven't noticed, since i just recently added one. I felt like i had been avatar-less for too long a time.
Looks good! If you're not careful, you may find yourself nominated for Best Avatar. :)
Well, i wouldn't really mind that :)
I would like to decline my nomination, basically because I do not feel I have been very active for a while now (which will change after the 18th of this month, cursed exams!) and winning would not be fair (if that is even a possibility :P).
Although I have foiled LC's (clever, I must admit) ploy to get me to become more active here and with Wetra, I would like to assure that I will soon wage war on my little part of the wiki and expand it's borders into unknown territory.

Best Avatar - Phoenix

Pragmatic Poster - Raelifin

Best Setting - This was a tough one. There were an awful lot of settings I wanted to nominate because they were very well-detailed and ready-to-run, and some as well that were just screaming with potential that really need more attention. In the end, I'm picking Shadowfell by Ishmayl, because we love it and people need to know where the 4e idea came from. :)
Quote from: WickedTrollCebegian of the Year - Poseidon
When I asked for this category to be made I put in that I could not be nominated for it (mostly because I wouldn't accept it), Ishmayl left that out of the description. So I must respectfully decline this nomination.
Thank you any way.
I would have voted for you, but I figured you would feel this way
Oops.

I was looking at all of the avatars I'm familiar with and thought this was the best one to fit the criteria. It's pretty awesome.
I came here ready to put in my nods, and everyone I would have nominated already has been (whether they accepted or denied). But I do want to nominate someone else for best krunch, so I'll go looking. ...
I nominate Nomadic for best crunch. Out of all the new members, I've seen them make an extra effort to create new material. I also like the direction of their creations.
Thanks, I am quite surprised and extremely honored to be nominated by someone with such an excellent handle on crunch.
I humbly accept (how could I decline such an honor).
Also while at the beginning of the month I felt separate I have come alot closer. I have been more active and seen what a wonderful group the CBG is. I feel now that I should participate. Everyone here has been wonderful. I feel though that there are certain people who stand in a special place in the respective categories.
Pragmatic Poster - Lord Vreeg. Then again, I have never known a wine drinker who wasn't also a pragmatic conversationalist. ;)
The Best Crunch - This goes to the Kapn (Xeviat). His help and ideas in regards to my campaign have been a wonderful boon to me.
The Best Fluff - Snargash Moonclaw. The work on your campaign has me fascinated... also glad to see you're out of the bronze age. Also his help with my campaign has been massive in helping me order my ideas to allow for a beautiful picture to be painted of what it really is as a world.
Best Setting - Having played a few sessions of Celtricia, this one takes the cake. Several decades give or take have done this campaign well. Vreeg should be proud of his masterful work.
There are many others that I think deserve recognition. My not voting on more categories comes not from lack for the most part but more often on having too many to choose from. These have all already been nominated, but I just felt they each deserved a little extra recognition from me. If it wasn't for each of them I wouldn't be doing near as well on my setting nor having near as much fun on the sight.
Thank you CBG, best community this side of the cabbage patch (and then some).
This is the last day for nominations folks, don't forget anyone! I'll update the thread main list at work today and close this thread tonight. Cheers!
I still think you should go back and accept your freakin' nominations, Ishmayl x.
it's not like anyone thinks you paid someone off, the cabbage is all still there.
I really do appreciate it guys, but I'm just going to go ahead and decline. I would be happy to discuss my rationale for it in private though, if you're truly curious.
Okay, these people need to Accept or Decline by 9:00 PM EST today. (I think I've got everything up to date)

Well, I suppose accepting would be the pragmatic thing to do, so I accept. Though it looks as though I have some rather stiff competition!
Awesome, I gladly accept the nomination!
Nominations, Acceptions, and Declinations are now closed. These words are meaningful.
Missed the e-mail by 2 hours. Busy three weeks, doh! Understand if my "Accept" is ignored.
I wish I'd checked in here recently. I think I might have liked to nominate some folks. I have a tendency to forget about a particualr messageboard and then go back and say, oh yeah, I like these folks.
