http://www.smogon.com/smog/awards/nominations

The nominations round has started. Who do you guys think is gonna take out certain categories? Do you like the new categories? And so on discuss. Just don't tell people to vote for you or you will be yelled at. Or something like that.

 

[The Avalanches]

Will they only show the winner and the runner up, or can we expect a top three or maybe four?

I do hope a few of my LC friends can take out some prizes.

"User most likely to wear their Smogon t-shirt on a date"
Layell just checking have you and pom done this yet

That's up to Toast++ and his script I believe?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!

(cutting pom out of the others cause apparently she doesn't like how she looks in those oh well)

Layell for smog shirt on date 2014.

 

[Ununhexium]

I think I voted skylight for most likely to wear Smogon t shirt

 

[scorpdestroyer]

the best name changes are probably from the mystery boxes, the worst name changes are definitely the ones who got a refund

 

[Layell]

skylight and frizy share a single large hoodie that is naturally unappealing to the figure

meanwhile princessofmusic and I went to an official Pokemon ORAS event with matching Smogon shirts.

You may have nommed skylight, and that is nice give her at least a chance. But by no means must you also throw away a vote.

 

[skylight]

layell you're just unappealing

BOOM NOW SHOTS FINALLY ARE FOR REALS FIRED.

(no srsly tho, I don't want to win given I came up with the category lol)

 

[Layell]

well you kept it up with all your duckface photos in the merch : P

 

[skylight]

the fifty thousand likes my photo had say otherwise. though for technicalities you do actually have a shirt so you deserve to win. i will cheer you on rival :)

is the hoodie so large they can both wear it at the same time?

 

[Metal Sonic]

I just learned that Pom is pretty and Layell is cool

 

[antemortem]

There's so many categories. voting for someone in a good portion of them was somewhat difficult, and time-consuming, but I'm pretty sure the people I put down are actually decent picks for their respective categories. not much else to say, wouldn't wanna spoil keke

 

[RODAN]

please vote captkirby for the owl category, i beg of you

 

[Minus]

Hello this is dirigible jones: captain of the space corsairs here

 

[princessofmusic]

Man I had kind of wanted to make this thread but Bummer talked me out of it ughghg cri

Anyway, in case anyone nominates a 3D model/render or a non-spriter for the Sprite/Spriter category, that nomination will be vetoed. 3D models are like virtual sculptures and not to be mistaken with 2D sprites, which tend to be small and are designed with a low colour count. Sadly, a lot of people mix this up on the web.

I'm pushing fleurdyleurse for Most Improved User. Retired or not, she's a cool cat and totally deserves it postmortem.

 

[Kingler]

I'm really torn between fleur and unfixable as most improved users haha, both of them have improved a LOT.
edit: also unun and mysteria can someone like permaban three of them so it's easier for me to pick ;-;
I'm not sure how strictly the joke thing is enforced, let's hope not TOO strictly because seeing chaos as 'Most Promising New User' twice in a row would be pretty hilarious...
A lot of the categories are overlapping and really hard to appropriately judge, but I guess I'll do my best lol

 

[antemortem]

postmortem.

/clears throat

is there any way to go back and edit our ballot? I'm thinking of lots of stuff after the fact and I left tons blank lol

Montsegur or TRC for sure.

 

[Ununhexium]

TRC made his account in 2013

 

[skies]

Voting Hulavuta as the meanest user. He's very mean.

 

[Tomahawk]

I hope BKC wins both best and worst namechange

 

[Valmanway]

"User who most looks like an owl"

Why does Bummer come to mind?
