How about:

Best UU poster(i.e best poster in Higher Ground/ UU discussion threads)
Worst UU poster

And this is slightly more tricky:

Best writer(Analysis etc.)

Just a thought.

latinoheat · Sep 7th, 2009, 12:10:56 PM

Maybe something for best/most helpful tutor

**Deck Knight** · Sep 7th, 2009, 12:11:29 PM

How about these:

Best Smog Article (Issues 1-3)
Most Influential Contribution of 2009

And perhaps:

Best CAP Poster (The community has grown quite a bit since last year).

Alchemator · Sep 7th, 2009, 12:12:35 PM

Most Active User
Least Active User
(although these would have to be calculated on post counter/number of days and could be influenced by spamming)

Best Smogon Awards Category Suggester :D

Best UU poster(i.e best poster in Higher Ground/ UU discussion threads)
Worst UU poster

The reason I'm rejecting this is because it represents such a small fraction of the community.

Quote:

Best writer(Analysis etc.)

I can see that - along with "Best grammar checker" or something to those lines, and "Worst Grammar checker" :P

Quote:

That's not a question everyone can actually answer though, which is why it wasn't there the first time. This is because tutors are 1 on 1 sessions

Xia · Sep 7th, 2009, 12:15:45 PM

Best / Worst Username would be cool. Too bad Bam changed his. =P

Staraptor Call · Sep 7th, 2009, 12:24:14 PM

Best Warstory
Best RMT thread

**locopoke** · Sep 7th, 2009, 12:29:52 PM

There is a "coolest new user" category but there isn't a Best New User category. People who would win this are those who recently joined and have already contributed a lot to the site. Just a thought.

darkie · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:00:56 PM

Good ideas, guys! Let's try to limit this thread to only suggestions, though

imperfectluck · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:03:02 PM

Change the name of 'least terrible wifier.'

Witnessed · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:27:05 PM

"Most clueless user." That would be good.

keelhauled · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:28:07 PM

Most promising battler?

Would be for new/unknown battlers, who have come in and shocked smogon with big wins, like what we saw in S8 Tour.

~~The Big Narc~~ · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:31:07 PM

Most flamboyant.

***Mekkah***** · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:34:04 PM

Best Mafia Host
(Worst Mafia Host)
Best Writer (articles for both the site and smog)

Matthew · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:35:47 PM

Most Improved User would be something I would like to see

Brought Best Tournament Host to mind.

**kd24** · Sep 7th, 2009, 1:39:20 PM

i would like most improved user to be added and i would be up for another "biggest suck-up / most clueless" award as it actually helps users attempt to turn around their smogon careers.

also:

best #stark user
best #smogon user

Wombat Sky Forme · Sep 7th, 2009, 2:33:40 PM

You have wittiest poster, but you could do "Most Wannabe-Wittiest Poster" for people who think they are witty but aren't. Also, I second Staraptor Call

Rook · Sep 7th, 2009, 2:49:42 PM

It would be cool to see a "Best Smog Article" category.

Oddish On Fire · Sep 7th, 2009, 2:52:20 PM

Best looking Smogonite!
(male and female)

Ugliest Smogonite!
(male and female)

Kristoph · Sep 7th, 2009, 3:02:45 PM

best gamer or something.

Serenity · Sep 7th, 2009, 3:20:15 PM

Best Gimmick (user)
