Atlas Awards 2008 - Nominations

[Eraserhead]

Here we go again...

Try to pick three posters for each category (you don't have to put three if you can't think of that many though). The three posters who get the most votes in each category will be nominated. Posters are allowed to be nominated for multiple awards. You can nominate yourself if you truly feel you deserve to be nominated in a category.

1. Best Overall Poster of the Year?

2. Funniest Poster of the Year?*

3. Troll of the Year?

4. Most Influential Poster of the Year?

5. Most Enthusiastic Poster of the Year?

6. Most Cynical Poster of the Year?

7. Angriest Poster of the Year?

8. Rivalry of the Year?**

9. Best Newbie?***

10. Atlas Hall of Fame****

11. Poster who provided the Best Election Analysis (NEW)

12. Poster who provided the Best Alternative Timeline (NEW)

13. Hack of the Year (NEW)


* You can nominate people who are intentionally funny or unintentionally funny.

** You must must nominate sets of two people, groups, ideas or something like that (Example: BRTD vs. Waltermitty)

*** Poster must have registered less than two years ago and have under 10,000 posts.

**** Poster must have at least 10,000 posts and must have been registered here for at least two years. There is also no need to vote for opebo since he has already entered the Hall of Fame.

You can vote for people who won last year in any category (except for opebo in the Hall of Fame cat.)

You can also change or add votes until I close down voting in this round.

I'll leave this up for at least a week.

how is Sojourner cynical?  because his election predictions were pessimistic?

[Хahar 🤔]

Yeah. I conflated cynical and pessimistic.

Plus, you were too obvious a choice.

[DownWithTheLeft]

My rivalry versus is not even my best rivalry yet it is gaining so many votes.  Just to think that Xahar could have placed his party and possibly himself in the presidency if he would have taken the RPPs alliance

[Хahar 🤔]

My rivalry versus is not even my best rivalry yet it is gaining so many votes.  Just to think that Xahar could have placed his party and possibly himself in the presidency if he would have taken the RPPs alliance

I'll look back in my files to see whether that was true.

Yeah. Your insistence on the top stop doomed that. But apart from a few scattered PMs in late August, the idea was never seriously considered.
