Smog Awards 2011 Discussion Thread
 

Read all about the Smog Awards here!

Every year we like to commend those who make Smogon a better place to spend your time. This thread is to tell everybody about who you think is the best! Here you can share your choices, campaign for your candidates, and maybe even introduce great people others may have forgotten about.

However, there are a few ground rules:

• Do not insult any member--nominator or nominee. We will be actively moderating this thread.
• Remember, there are restrictions on who can nominate, found in the article.
• Votes only posted here will not count. For your votes to count, you must PM The Smog with your choices.
• Think of others before yourself. Use this thread to bring other users' eligibility for awards to light, not your own.

With that, have fun and keep it civil!

bloo for tournament
me for everything else

Is it still too late to add "Biggest Whiner" on the list?

Vote for me for best Smogon Media Contributor.
100+ videos for the Smogon Youtube channel during November 2010 - September 2011. Plus I ran the channel solely during that time period as well.
In addition, I updated and maintained the Youtube Video Index

Bloo for best tournament player. There is no way werps is getting this three years in a row.

Frontier win and 3 in season Tours, not to mention several user hosted tournaments.

Fabbles for best contributor. He has spent more time on the Tour stats than anyone has spent on any other contribution. I can pretty much guarantee that.

how about discussing why you're nominating someone else, instead of campaigning for your own glory?

i think that is the best use of this thread

I'll be nominating Swaggersaurus for Most Promising New User

Best avatars imo:

Vote Matthew and tennisace for coolest veterans, since they're p. cool! Matthew aka Genny is doing an awesome job with DST (if you haven't noticed it isn't complete crap anymore!) and tennisace is running NU with me like a boss and doing cool stuff with CAP too!

EDIT: Vote Vader for most humorous/wittiest user, you know all of his a forum threads are great (his Nuzlocke and avatars threads were p. genius imo!)

Hi I'm campaigning for Zebraiken and Ice-eyes as best NU players because they are the best?? Hopefully people who actually play NU will win...

Also vader for cutest user he is just

adorable

Best avatar goes to Reyscarface. I'm disappointed in you if you voted for anybody else.

I for one cannot believe that no one has brought up Cookie for best avatar.

Finally, and most importantly, vote locopoke for cutest user. No explanation needed.

AfroThunderRules for luckiest player.
Proof.

bloo for tournament lets get it

Best contribution goes to aeosoft hand's down. His log replay makes watching past battles a much easier and funner experience. And let's not forget Pokemon Showdown!

Aesoft for best contribution 100% hands down, I have never valued an internet tool like I do aesoft.

make sure to actually name the contribution when you submit -- the name of the contribution is "pokemon showdown!"

edit: and nice to see people being entirely selfless, as per... v_v
