Bloody hell, is that all?

Also does a tournament need to be completed to be eligible for Best Tournament??

All I ask is that you get rid of Most Annoying.  We have way too many people heading for that one and they're gonna try harder for the rest of the month to get it.

Other than that, the rest seems fine.  Maybe you can add a new one like Most Underrated Member?  I dunno, I can't think of too many new good ones.

But then what category will I vote for Venko in?

Maybe most annoying needs a reword to show how it should be taken as a pointer for the future and only for those who aren't intentionally trolling/annoying.

Yeah, new members have been thin on the ground this year. Should hopefully change next year. As for tournaments, its never really been stated but I'd guess it should be finished really :P

Remove Most Annoying cuz I know I may vote for playzooki(not really, playzooki wasn't that annoying this year of GTM).

I think Most Annoying should stay, but direct trolls are not allowed to be voted for on a case by case scenario.

I agree with Avalanche and I have no idea what Jake is trying to say but didn't even reply to my reply to the post so eh

you know, for all the flak that playzooki is getting, I went back through his posts up to june (because I couldn't be bothered to go farther back) and... none of it is beyond light baiting.

Call me crazy and prove me wrong, but I think he's actually been decent as of recent.

Replaced most annoying with most naïve. Thanks to Marty for that suggestion.

Also yes playzooki is nowhere near as bad as the old days. Might even have a shot at most improved.

Anyway, I think I have a shot at one award, but that's it. I can only see one.

Id say your skins are decent, to be honest, although I cant say anything about build quality.

"Someone who does a great job yet receives little or no recognition for that. an unsung hero usually refrains from claiming too much in return for his/her efforts." - Urban Dictionary

I guess.

Imo naïve isnt a good word, maybe most irritating? Also i havent really improved, i just havent really posted as much this year so i have had less chances to annoy people :P

you're honestly not that bad from what i've seen
dont use that as motivation to be though

lra2 in his prime (https://gametechmods.com/forums/index.php?topic=2046.msg48189#msg48189) was way worse and sparkey (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/86018sparkykick.gif) and hydro (https://gametechmods.com/uploads/images/61697doublepost.jpg) were both pretty obnoxious too. don't know what happened to sparkey but the other 2 improved after a (long) while. i've never seen you be anywhere near that bad... of course, I'm not subbed to the chatterbox so i don't know whats going on there
