Yay! I'm up for it!

Are you up for it?

We can use the same format as Logan does for the cover threads too.

If you want slips, I will help with the collation of the votes. Let me know what you want.

Yeah. No problem with helping out, Im after nominations of droids and stories and suggestions of other awards too.... (in other words Im winging it)

someone put up the catorgories then.
or shall we leave them as last year. perhaps drop the steaming bison name? in respect to the fact the creator is a member of this board and will be at dreddcon.
or leave it and hope he accepts the comical reference by the board.

but we should go hold this again yes!

Bolt-01 · 15 November, 2003, 05:37:18 PM

I have started a list of categories, and wil post them here when complete.

The list is based on last years, and may not change a great deal.

Maybe a couple more self-reverential categories to encourage boarders to vote.

self-reverential categories

i cust and pasted this.as there was no way i could spell it myself.what does that mean then?

The Monarch · 15 November, 2003, 05:55:40 PM

I guess like most popular boarder least popular boarder boarder you wish was hung drawn and quatered after a botched matrix thread like that?

Queen Firey-Bou · 15 November, 2003, 07:15:53 PM

aye good fun all around,

what about ;

bestest web sites
bestest web masters
bestest fanzine

etc etc ?

ukdane · 15 November, 2003, 07:30:06 PM

The best way to run this would be to use the polls. As it's only for this year, there shouldn't be too many choices. I'd suggest waiting until the end of year prog is out, then running choices from prog 2003-2004 and the respective Megs.

Trout · 15 November, 2003, 10:00:46 PM

But there must be nominations, especially for "best new" whatever, as in past years people who've been around forever have won it.

Slippery PD · 15 November, 2003, 10:08:25 PM

OK hows this for a compromise. The voting shall be done by poll after prog 2004 and nominations will start now for all of the catergories above?? Fair. No yes.

Oh and I think Best Fansite would be a good one.
as would Best Fanzine, anything else.......

Oh and cmon f*cking Scotland!!!!

Trout · 15 November, 2003, 10:10:27 PM

That seems like a good compromise.

If Iever get the time, I'm going to flick through this year's progs and maybe do a list of new stories and this year's Dredds, unless someone beats me to it.

Or points out, as usual, that all the info's already somewhere on this site. :-)

Cheers Col

Trout · 15 November, 2003, 10:13:01 PM

BWA HAAAA HAAAAA HAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAA!

I love it when someone can laugh at themselves.

Especially if it's you, Col. :-)

Maybe it should be the SinDex award....

Would you believe I didnt vote for Bison either........

That result is probably the most shocking from last year. Though in IMHO SinDex has run out of steam and should be rested. I think Ill be pulling the name as well and not calling it the Steaming Bison award..........
