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

^This

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

awww boo im not a *new* member am i? shame, i joined a year ago and only now start posting

Avalanche · « **Reply #7 on:** December 18, 2015, 11:40:51 AM »

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

cephalopod · « **Reply #8 on:** December 18, 2015, 12:38:01 PM »

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

Oh, so that's playzooki out the window, then? :P

Kossokei · « **Reply #10 on:** December 18, 2015, 03:51:29 PM »

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.

You're right.
He's really not even that bad.

It could go either way imo

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.

Even I knew this place has awards, and I've been around less time than you!

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