Hello fellow black fedora laden, basement dwelling, dorito stained neckbeard nerdgins.

It's time for another annual forum awards, and with the much anticipated online suicide of our friend AfromanGT I have taken the liberty of taking over proceedings.

To avoid the controversy of previous years, I will be utilising a third party tool to collate and collect votes. This will ensure the #legitimacy, anonymity and fairness sorely lacking in previous annual votes. Results will also be ranked.

All relevant information will remain in OP and post below OP.

The Calendar for proceedings:
Now -> Sunday 14th December 9pm - Suggestions for categories
Sunday 14th December - Categories finalised
Monday 15th December -> Thursday 18th December 9pm - Award Nominations
Friday 19th December - Nominations Finalised, links to ballot posted and voting opens
Friday 19th December - Friday 2nd January 2015 - Voting
Sunday 4th January 2015 - Winners announced.

Get cracking.

#legitimacy

Can confirm #legitimacy

Tinfoil hat award for the craziest conspiracy theory post

Do you have 2 examples?

Best newcomer.

Gif of the year.

Best couple award

Will find some links but wamackie comes up with some pearlers. Nickk has been spectacular in the WSW pay dispute thread.

Have added gif of the year, but will await 2 examples of best newcomer before adding

Good enough for me. Added.

Dickhead of the year

I know of Draups and Scouse, but any other examples?

Added. Zero problems with examples ;)

Best troll. Either ricey or heiny

Will add, but Heine isn't a troll. He's really that retarded.

He's an A+++ student in the school of winding up wanderers fans.

Tbh, I think your post would make more sense if you replaced Heine with ricecrackers

Dickhead. Surely paul c, ozzie, rusty, batfink.

he's not a troll he is really that deluded

Best love triangle

How are you distinguishing between Troll and Windup?

The Ben Williams award for worst mod
The Leigh Broxham award for biggest improver
The Gazgoldcoast award for best dummy spit


Edited by 433: 10/12/2014 08:52:29 PM

2 examples required

nvm, close enough to best couple to lump it in together

Me and Palad are cute.

Perhaps if we have two separate categories
Worst Troll
Best Windup

What does everyone think?

Two separate ones are better as jlm is a windup merchant atm

I'm not trying to take anything away from Heineken but do we really consider winding up Wanderers fans as an achievement? Obviously I'm not wanting to tar everyone with the same brush but fuck me some of these random AF dwelling WSW fans are thick, I mean every supporter group has a token retard or two but I think the RBB must have invented mouth breathing.

Best 'FFT Meme'

e.g. Cap him, ARNIE = LEGEND, Milligan >, We da best etc
