Hey! Tiebreakers! Loads of 'em!

Tiebreaker voting will be going on for the next few weeks until 12:01 AM Eastern on Sunday, March 11th. Make your voice heard again for the first time!



It's approximately that time of year again I suppose! Let's do this dukar!

You know the drill, but in case you don't, here is the nature of the drill:

  • Don't vote for yourself. Vote for me instead.
  • You can vote for two people in each category. You can vote for one as winner and one as runner-up, or equally for both.
  • You can also vote for just one person in a category if you want.
  • Change your vote by editing your post as many times as you want, until voting closes.
  • If you have better ideas for award categories than me, throw them out there and see if they catch on.
  • Votes should be for stuff that happened in 2011, or on December 30th or 31st of 2010 (when the last awards started). Stuff that happened this month is okay, but try to remember back farther if you can.
  • Voting will close at 12:01 AM Eastern time on February 4th, 2012.

The categories, separated by the category of the category, are categorized as follows:

Star Awards
The Star Awards are the best of the best. If you get one of these, you are obviously a better person than everyone who didn't get one.

Poster of the Year: All in all, who best exemplified the spirit of the forums this year?
Post of the Year: That one perfect comment that tied everything together, or that perfectly constructed Zelda timeline theory, or that one ribald riposte that... um... ratcheted... something... whatever.
Topic of the Year: The thread that tied us together to collaboratively create something hilarious, moving, intriguing, or other various emotions.
Image of the Year: A drawing, a photo, or a well-timed meme. Actually, probably just a drawing or photo.

Flower Awards
The Flower Awards are almost as nice as the Star Awards, but not quite, because flowers are gay. Close, though.

Most Amiable: Amiable means nice.
Funniest: Funny means funny.
Most Creative: The poster who would have come up with better category descriptions than that.
Most Creepiest: Who do you most suspect of having a secret collection of body pillow pillowcases with pictures of his (or her!) Sunday school teachers printed on them?
Smartest: Who's the most out-of-place in this cesspool of neckbeard?

Mushroom Awards
The Mushroom in Mushroom Awards represents either growth or basicness or something like that; I'm kinda vague on that one.

Best Mod: Who did the best job keeping us in line?
Best Newbie: Who was the best new member? (Note that the member does not have to have registered in 2011, only that they first became active in 2011.)
Blast from the Past: Which returning veteran inspired the most nostalgia in us?
Most Missed: Who needs to dump their girlfriend and come back to us right now? This does not necessarily have to be someone who left in 2011, just someone who should've been here.
Most Improved: Who had the most striking contrast of posting quality between back thenish and nowish?

Leaf Awards
The Leaf Awards are all awards from early incarnations of the Poster Awards that haven't seen much play since then. Let's find out first hand why they stopped being used.

Best Name: Names are more permanent than they used to be, so this doesn't have to be exclusively names that were made up/given/changed to/used/whatever in 2011. Just which poster around here do you think has the coolest name.
Best Signature: Some people recorded their sigs in the new sig topic, so you can use that for reference if you want to try voting in this one. You can also go further into the past than 2011 if you want, since this category hasn't been around for a while.
Most Average: Does this mean most normal by Fungi Forums standards, or most normal by normal standards? You decide! I guess.
Most Mario-wise Poster: Who is the most freakishly obsessed knowledgeable about Mario minutiae (or Mariotiae, as I like to call it)?
Meowiest Poster: Meow.

Frog Suit Awards
Winning a Frog Suit Award obviously makes you a better person than the people who won Star Awards.

Dynamic Duo: Which pair of posters need to get a room already?
Queen of Posters: Who's the fourteen-year-old who we will elect to be the person who appoints our senator and makes us eat cake and ties our mother down while sweating to the oldies?
WTD Award: Who and/or what made you say "WTD?" this year?
Glorb Award: It's the Glorb Award.
Deezer Award: It's the Deezer Award.

Right behind you, LD

Pony fools. Learn this: If you talk about or bring up any subject enough, you'll look like you have an obsession, and it's not cool. If you talk about or bring up an unusual subject enough, it looks like a forced ploy for attention, and that's even further below not cool. And there is a difference between not caring about being cool, and actively trying to be obnoxious. Let me explain.

It looks as if you bring it up hoping someone will say "GAYEEEEE" or "God[darn] ponies" or "Why do you watch that show for little girls?" At which point you'll go into "NO, IT IS GOOD THING AND YOU ARE TOO BIGOTED" mode to prove how open-minded and free-thinking you are but by that point no one's taking you seriously. It just looks like you want the reaction, whether your reaction to the reaction is sincere is no longer a question. You are going to look like a fool no matter what.

As an open-minded free thinker, just like you, I really, truly, don't give a [dukar] what tv shows you watch--if it's your business and nobody else's, it sure isn't mine. But as a person who frequents a Mario forum with more pony avatars than Mario avatars, I do care how "look at me, right now!" the fanbase is about it. I am disgusted when I see characters I respect pasted onto the pony template, and it's getting harder and harder to ignore you--and harder and harder to tell if you're all trolls, or if you all need help. Either way, I can't take the ponydom seriously anymore. From no angle do you look normal. Even WarpRattler and his entire legion of animes are human compared to you.

I can't tell you what to do, pony guys, but I can tell you what I think of you, and if you expect me to just accept all of your crap, you better take it civilly. I think your whole community is either embarrassingly obsessed... or isn't really in it for the cartoon itself, but for the reactions of other people. I don't really know what to think and don't really care to find out, either way, I'd love it if you kept it down.

I'd just like to point out that I've spent more money on one western game in the past couple of months than I have on anime pretty much ever. (Maybe not more time in the periods given, but the game in question is something I started playing in sixth grade, so...)

Anyway, the whole pony thing tops my "fanbases that really annoy me" list (followed closely by Homestuck). However, it's primarily an Internet issue for me - unlike Ultima Shadow, I know exactly one RL person who watches the show, and she's my younger sister, so she has an excuse (or, at least, more of one than many of the fans we're talking about). And she doesn't obsess over it like a lot of online fans do. She doesn't ship characters, she doesn't make stupid fan art - hell, the only things outside of the show itself (and some associated official merchandise) she's interested in are the Super Ponybeat albums, and a big part of why she cares about those is because one of the TOHO EUROBEAT guys made them.

(That said, outside of the pony thing and some other western works like BBC Sherlock, she's certainly someone BP's claims of "legions of animes" could be leveled at. I'm pretty sure she's finished more anime and manga series than I've ever started, and she's only fifteen.)

As an aside, I like how we're complaining about ponies instead of voting in the awards this thread is supposed to be about.

No one on the forums does that either, though.

Well, we do in our spare time, obviously, but not here.

Well, okay, I did make this, but still.

This! Vote, guys! Only sixteen days to go! If people don't start voting, I'm gonna have to choose all the awards myself and crown myself Queen of Posters.

When I gain control of the website after winning the Deezer award I'll make sure that no communist systems get put into place.

However, I will require everyone who owns businesses to help pay for the web hosting fees, and the businesses that make more money have to pay more than the businesses that make less money. The ones that make less money might even get some money. It's only fair.

Vote TEM for the Deezer award!

And just like that, my Best Poster *and* image awards for 2012 are indefinitely sealed.

I didn't even realize that was my face for about a full minute. Still, save'd so instinctively it was like almost unconscious.

    POLLS ARE CLOSED

    AWARDS ARE NOW

    (click on any award to see a wallpaper-sized version)



    Poster of the Year
    The most prestigious and coveted award of all well let's get it out of the way already.



    Oh look it's me.


    =Runner-up=



    Oh look it's BP.


    ~Honorable Mentions~



    These guys are awesome too.



    Post of the Year



    A very tight race this year, but in the end, BP's apocalyptic vision won out. It's "Mii Final Smash"!


    =Runner-up=



    Not the classiest post out there I suppose, but very nearly the funniest. It's "Ress Ronery", by PaperLuigi!


    ~Honorable Mentions~



    Not to be deterred, BP comes back with an instant classic. "Bees"!



    And speaking of classics, "Guide to Kissing" saw a brief yet minty revival last year with a bit of belated lady advice from Puqtd. "Puqtd stays smooth", baby.



    Topic of the Year



    Pretty unanimous here, and it's not hard to see why. A thread that had all the Mario-obsession and all the insanity that this board is known for. It's The Chef's "The Silly Mario Fan Theories Thread"!



    Image of the Year



    We can always count on Luigison for educational and enlightening topics. Usually. It's "How to identify wood", from the thread, "Wood, A How To"!


    =Runner-up=



    If 2011 could be summed up in one image, it'd probably be a much larger image than this one. Weegee's "TEH FUNNAYEST MEME EVAR" is a much more manageable size for most screen resolutions.





    Most Amiable Poster



    Well, howdly-doodly there, Mushroom neighbor! Just your friendly neighborhood Toad here, wondering if you needed to borrow any sugar!


    =Runner-up=



    In case you missed that, Toad doesn't borrow your sugar -- he goes to your house to lend you sugar. So yeah, he totally deserves this. Even though he's gonna donate the awards to some homeless puppies or something when the ceremony's over.



    Funniest Poster


    He made us laugh, he made us cry, and he taught us how to love again. It's Weegee!


    =Runner-up=


    More like punner-up, eh? Eh? Eh? (it's Toad)



    Most Creative Poster



    Oh look who it is again.


    =Runner-up=



    Another great visual artist, with some of the forum's most interesting interpretations and syntheses. It's Kojinka!


    ~Honorable Mentions~



    Let's not neglect the forum's musical side, though! (spoiler alert: it won't be neglected next year) It's Turtlekid1! As opposed to those tone-deaf Turtlekids2-9.



    And a guy who should've gotten more votes is a guy who combines both sides! And both those guys is Qwerty!



    Most Creepiest Poster



    A little skeevy around the edges? That's just the way we like'em.




    Smartest Poster



    What's this guy doing hanging out around us dummies for? Luigison!


    =Runner-up=



    Luigison should be more like this guy and only pop in once in a while so our dumbness doesn't contaminate him. It's MEGAߥTE!





    Best Mod



    Does the mod that mods least mod best? Apparently! BP! (unless Lizard Dude still counts)


    =Runner-up=



    Luigison? That knucklenut again? Yes!



    Best Newbie



    Contrary to popular reports, there is still a great influx of actual humans joining this board! And some of them are super-entertaining and creative! One of them is Qwerty, and I've been using too many exclamation points lately.


    =Runner-up=



    In the words of the Fonz, "A!"


    ~Honorable Mention~



    It's Glorb! No wait, it's just Puqtd.



    (it's glorb)



    Blast from the Past



    She's been here off and on since the beginning, and as of last year, she's back and better than ever. It's Chocobo!



    Most Missed



    Come on, Black Mage! Is Luigison the only adult left here? Is he gonna have to do all the adultery himself?


    =Runner-up=



    Whatever happened to Kuromatsu and his awesome Paint skills?


    ~Honorable Mentions~



    And Chupperson Weird, too! He needs to get over that stack overflow thing that happened to him or whatever. Maybe on a new account, though, because the whole 11111 thing is rather perfect.



    (maybe he's A)



    This guy needs to come back too, if for no other reason than to give Toad some competition for Most Amiable. It's FlamingBlueMario!



    Most Improved



    It's been a long, hard road, but the one who once posted this has since evolved, not just into one of the more civilized members of the board, but also a god. It's TheMightyThor (who is also coolkid)!





    Best Name



    Speaking of which, you pretty much can't argue with that name.


    =Runner-up=



    Good ol' Tim Buckley has a good name too, though.

    Well, not like that.


    ~Honorable Mention~



    And here's a name that had a lot of thought put into it. A!



    Best Signature



    Do you think this is a good signature? Why?


    =Runner-up=



    Trrry not to get a paper cut from all the awards you're carrying (after you take the PNGs down to FedExKinkos and print them out), BP!!


    ~Honorable Mention~



    And bringing up the rear, it's a special guest appearance from Hideo Kojima!



    Most Average Poster



    If you took all the members of the forum and stuck them in a blender, you'd be a very disturbed individual. Fortunately, CoconutMikeNike is far too normal and well-adjusted to do something like that. Right?



    Most Mario-Wise Poster



    I'm flattened!


    =Runner-up=



    But hey, I'm not the only crazed pedant around here! It's The Chef!


    ~Honorable Mention~



    Respect the Deez.



    Meowiest Poster



    ^_^


    =Runner-up=



    Yatta!





    Dynamic Duo



    Is A BP's alt? IT IS A MYSTERY.



    Queen of Posters



    All hail Queen Warp!


    Princess of Posters



    Next in line to the throne is the recently returned Chocobo, Princess Royal!


    Duchess of Posters



    I'm not real clear on how royal lines of succession work, but duchesses are on there somewhere, right? It's Pt_Peach!


    Dame of Posters



    And rounding out the matriarchy is Dame Dude of Bozeman.



    The WTD Award



    Pancreatitis.



    The Glorb Award



    The spirit of Glorb lives on, in TEM.



    The Deezer Award
    The most important award of all here it is.



    And after a grueling battle (that went into overtime!), Deezer has held on to the Deezer Award!



    The TEM Award
    OH WHAT'S THIS



    Well, that was fun. Big thanks to Spriter's Resource for all those sprites and backgrounds! Specifically: Crapcom (SMAS:SMB3 backgrounds) Nitratez (SMAS:SMB3 Koopalings, Mario, and Luigi), Dazz (P from TTYD), Sonikku (SMAS:SMB2 cactus and grass), Boo (SMBDX badges), A.J. Nitro (Yoshis, Fava), Mr. e (Shokora), Retriever II (Fuzzy), Ragey (Peaches from SPP), DoKoCo (SMA Toad), Arima (SMAS:SMB2 veggies), and our very own jdaster64 (SMA4 sprites and backgrounds)! And Nintendo for making it all. And myself for changing some of the sprites a little.

    See you this year!

    Congratulations to all the winners! Unfortunately I had too many priorities so I couldn't post much last year, but I hope that'll change this year.
    The Mario series is the best! It has every genre in video games but RTS'! It also has a plumber who does different roles, a princess, and a lot of odd creatures who don't seem to poop!

    I'm not sure how you get Most Improved two years, considering the way it works, but thanks a lot. I can also see that having a new username still doesn't wash me of the stench of my older posts, but whatever. (I woulda voted for Tim for Best Name myself had he called himself "Tim B^Uckley", even though that's kind of a lame old joke.)
