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.

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!

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 Harmonium

Best 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. :)

Poseptune

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

Xeviat

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.

Quote from: SparkletwistBest 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. :)
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.

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.
Latest Release: Echoes of Angels

Ishmayl-Retired

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.

Numinous

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.
