[Golden Legacy]

The wait's finally over, and the annual tradition continues at last: I welcome you all to this year's Golden Sun Syndicate Forums Awards!

There are a total of 45 awards to be won by members, and 8 additional awards for topics. 1st place winners will win trophies and the runner-up 2nd and 3rd place winners will receive commemorative plaques to put in their signatures.

The categories:

Public Awards - Can be won by ANYONE
Staff Awards - Can be won by the Staff (i.e. moderators and administrators)
Forum Awards - Are won by topics or posts (provide links if possible)
Entertainment + Arts Awards - Can be won by ANYONE
Facebook Awards - Can be won by anyone who has a Facebook profile and is in the group (ignore these awards if you don't have a Facebook)

Now, head on over to our little-used User Contest forum (yes, we do have one), and PLACE YOUR VOTES!

Cheers.

EDIT: Also, remember to check out this right here!

[Quacnar]

Im very excited, it is going to be tough picking people though.

[Someone Else]

GL will win Most Sophisticated as per usual. :P

And I just LOVE the new categories. Downright Sexy? That's awesome. And hilarious since a large majority of us are dudes.

[Ironsight]

I lol'd at that.
I'm glad I didn't miss the awards. Although it will be a tough choice for the awards.

[Split Infinity]

STOP ADDING MORE AWARDS. We're not freaking robots, goddammit!

[Lightning Star]

Haha, and a new facebook feature? Nice. Though it's kinda hard to judge a profile; I think if it were more like myspace where you could customize it, then it'd be a little easier, but seeing as most profiles are pretty much the same, that's going to be difficult.

And NO ONE better vote me as most emotional! *death glare*



or I'll go cut myself ;-;

XD

[EDIT] I am once again foiled by hotlinking.

[Saturos S.]

The awards are getting raped by the common room this year. The random sanctuary of the forum and there's a topic that only allows one post... *shakes head*

I can be sophisticated if I want to...

[My Best Wishes]

Little bit early this year?

[Lightning Star]

Everybody's just in the mood. Truth be told, when someone brought it up a few weeks ago, I was rather excited for it to begin, seeing as I've been an active member this last year.

[My Best Wishes]

Eh I guess, I'm not really active here, I'll come most days but there's just not enough decent topics to hold me anymore. Hopefully that will change soon.

Good point, I'll see about that.

May as well.

Is the tagging really necessary? You're just making it harder on the counters.

laharl the slayer, on Jan 4 2008, 05:22 AM, said:

Agreed.

It's so that you don't have your own votes influenced by others. And besides, don't worry about the counting, because you know who'll be doing that?
Yep, exactly.

[Aquamarine]

BRING IT ON, SCUM!! >=D

[Eugine]

Man. Voting is extremely hard this year ;_;

[Saturos S.]

Meh, just vote for me when in doubt.

Only for the positive things that is.

[Eugine]

hmm, I think I'm changing my opinion on some stuff. Ah well, the voting is open until the 19th. I have enough time. No rush decisions.

[Someone Else]

I want to remind people that "Best Newbie" can apply to people who joined all last year. It shouldn't be limited to those who joined in recent months.

I'm only saying that because I think escout deserves it, but. :P

I remember when Me111 didn't get Best Newbie because Split/Spam King created a new account (and won Best Newbie with it) even though he wasn't technically a newbie.

[Saturos S.]

On a sidenote, who's designing the trophies this year?

[Someone Else]

I was wondering that too. Maybe MD will do it even though he isn't here anymore.

I've got an idea about that, it'll remain secret for now. :P

I remember it too. Still I won two awards last year so that made up for it.

[Quacnar]

NOOB!!! This is an outrage. It is the only unanimous decision by GSSF members.

[Eugine]

Hey, atleast you are still gonna get an award.

You see... this is why I'm leaving it blank till the last moment.

You don't know the difference between the N words, do you?

[Drizzy Drake]

Newb is somebody who is new. Noob is somebody who is disrespectfull, doesn't follow rules, tries to act like a know it all, and might I say is unliked?

[Golden Legacy]

Let's cut that award. "Biggest noob" is out, I'll edit the post.

[Drizzy Drake]

I can see the winner(or loser, however you want to put it) going on a flame rage, and in the end being banned, then in real life would go on a Columbinelike rage on his school, eventually killing over 100 people, and then right before pulling the trigger to end his life he had but 3 finale words, "it's GSSF's fault".

So Killercoz, how was your day.

[Someone Else]

I was going to pick PDM...

Nevermind.

[Drizzy Drake]

You can still vote, it just won't count. Do it anyway.

[Eugine]

That would be great Skidzorz!
We'll get so much traffic, and Golden Sun (Syndicate) will be the spotlight in the news for about a week. Nintendo will be pressured to make another game, cuz controversy sells! "Golden Sun: Kamikaze", for the DS.

GL, if you want GS3, keep the award!

[Drizzy Drake]

I knew somebody would jump on the bandwagon. Either Camelot is known for pushing a strange, and disturbed child to a Timothy McVay-esque psychopathic rage, or they're known for GS3.

[Quacnar]

Wonderful, but if I was going to go and kill people I would kill all of the people who voted for me.

[TheEnglishman]

Did we have to get rid of it? I mean, some would have to pretty weird to actually be offended by it.

[Split Infinity]

It's basically saying 'You're an annoying little sh*t and nobody likes you.'

That's not offensive?

[Mallick]

The awards get a little bit more lame every year.


The first year we did them was a much better year.

Initally I agree, but I appreciate the work and effort that several members contribute to them.
They seem more...mainstream? Like they've lost their value I guess.

Not when it comes from a stranger over the internet.

[Mallick]

Yeah, I wouldn't be offended if I won.

And let's face it, my chances of winning weren't exactly low; I don't exactly act sane online. (:

Is that so? Hmm, I'm sorry about that... perhaps it's because we've done this for a few years now?

[Eugine]

Too much awards imo :P

[Ironsight]

Yeah, there are alot of awards. But having unitl January 19 makes it far easier than it looks.

[Saturos S.]

Still, it makes it lose it's appeal.

[Someone Else]

I guess there was a bit of appeal in the simplicity of the early awards. I don't think it's THAT bad the way it is now, maybe a little overwhelming.

[Split Infinity]

I think more awards than there is active members is too many.

[Kuchiyose]

Yeah I think your right but hey its fun to do stuff like this XD

[Split Infinity]

I guess so. Wait...how is that relevant?

[Kuchiyose]

Errm people saying theres a lot so i thought more the merrier (or something on the lines of that)

Don't get me wrong I still enjoy these awards, but I guess I just wasn't looking forward to them so soon. I think it has something to do with the inactivity of the 'veterans', I still think the forum was at it's best when I was a newb, just the capacity of the senior members was higher. Life goes on I guess.

[I'm Always BROKE]

HOW COULD I MISS THESE!? O.o *goes voting right away* Goddammit.

EDIT: Ohh and as for some suggestions, maybe we could have awards as 'Most Left-Out Member' and 'Most Loyal to GSSF'? I always thought that those would've made pretty awesome awards to win. :(

[Eugine]

Um to anyone who voted for MD and I, we are not Moderators anymore ^_~

[Golden Legacy]

All right, the second (all-new) part of the GSSF Awards is now up - check it out.

[Aquamarine]

I find it funny that many of us guys voted Diddy for the sexiest member even though there are also some females here.

[Someone Else]

I don't get what's so appealing about Diddy, no offense to him. I thought sexy bitches is so much more sexy.

[Lightning Star]

Y'know, you always could have voted for me if you had no one else ^.~

And I think the awards are tradition, mainstream or not. I mean, I guess I share the same sentimentality that GL has for this forum. No matter what, I don't think anyone will forget GSSF as long as they live, and the awards are just a way of honoring the value of these forums and the people that make it a great place.

I am made out of sex, that might explain something. ^_^

[Split Infinity]

Yeah. If anyone knows about sexy bitches, it's Diddy.

Dude, I spam more than like, everyone here. Sorta. *cough* <.<

[Saturos S.]

You used to. Face it, you're normal now.

[Toasty]

D;

Diddy's too sexy to NOT win best looking. :P

I dont think I'll win anything this year. xD

[Split Infinity]

How did you know he was Diddy?

[Ironsight]

We should have a best forum 'Mom' award :P

If I dont vote in the next half hour will my votes not be counted?

x_x

Well I guess you could have discerned it.

[Toasty]

Well, I can't count the votes this year. I'm going to be gone on monday, and the new semester starts Tuesday.
However, if no one else can, I might be able to find the time to do it somewhere. But I call trophy maker next year.

So who's doing it this time?

[Drizzy Drake]

Yuki, on Jan 17 2008, 11:24 PM, said:

Or the fact that it says Diddy at the bottem of his profile?

When are the votes being counted? Tomorow night?

[Eugine]

huh? Explain?

[Toasty]

Why haven't the poles been closed?

[Aquamarine]

Damnit, I'm still waiting to see the awards! It's already the 20th, so won't someone hurry up and count them?
