...And now it's time to present the awards. Luckily I know a little bit about paint and photobucket...



First off I would like to congratulate everyone who got nominated. It's a real honor. I present the nomination awards:

Next. There were a few that proudly stepped forward... and nominated themselves. For those vanguard individuals, we have the self nomination awards:

Spoiler

For the top 5 we have something special. These nominees, whether by their humor, helpfulness, inspiration, or entertaining demeanor, have left their mark on this poll and on MWO. How else should we describe such an impact:

Spoiler

Finally, for getting so many backers, here you go Anders. Thanks for adding your unique flavor to the MWO community.

Here are the final results. We had 242 votes cast at the poll's conclusion.

Spoiler

In closing I would like to say the following:


If it is status that you would like, you have been recognized. If is a greater awareness of your work, it has been achieved. If it is nothing you seek from this award, well either way you have been thanked.

thank you,

MWO Community

How were these candidates selected?

[Bishop Steiner]

Well, while I have never interacted with the guy to my knowledge, way back when I was a newb, Ohmwreckers guides and PDF charts and stuff really simplified my learning curve.

So, guess to Ohm it goes, (though many people are deserving)

click on the first link and you will see. I missed the first poll myself, so I guess I live with the choices, limited tho they be

though I must admit, I wish some of the QQ brigade was nominated, as crushing them in game (well, on the few times they are actually playing instead of crying) always gives me great targets to single out and hunt down.......

Ok the nominations are in, the votes will go till Monday. Have fun.

[Odins Fist]

Really..?? We don't know "ALL" know what contributions they have made, perhaps you should add a list of relevant contributions that would be worthy of recognition so the community will know exactly what would be appropriate.
On a side note, and (not naming names), I recognize one name that I wouldn't vote for if you put a gun to the back of my head.
.
I think a bit of history of each person, and what they have done for MWO would help out a lot.

Ok, I will allow late nominations. Go post them, quick.

Seems like a fair poll. Let's see; there's the guy whose guide is pinned on the general guides forum and has over quarter million of views and then there's bunch of nobodies. This gonna be a close race! I wonder who is going to win?! Excitement is killing me!

Please make suggestions how I can improve this process!

I think that's a great idea. Especially if we stick to a monthly basis. If someone would like to express their exact feeling why they are greatful in more deeper words, I will gladly post material that better informs people how others have benefitted from their nominations.

List the nominees contributions. If they have written guides then link them in the opening post. Right now everyone is just voting on based the ohmwreckers guide because that is well known. If people see what the others have contributed, they may change their mind.

[Thomas Covenant]

I only nominated Redshift and Ohmwrecker. If someone would like to help me explain some of your other nominations, that effort would be appreciated and worth your while.

[The Cheese]

You forgot Helmer. That TS server doesn't run itself, you know.

I can say with confidence that his server has made a LOT of difference to people's games.

Added Vlad Ward.
Added Vassago Rain.

[The Cheese]

You should probably rename this thread to "Which of these serial forum posters do you get along with the best?". Some of the names on there, while being cool dudes in their own right, really aren't what you'd call "contributors".

[Kobold]

I feel compelled to troll vote, since these self-congratulatory threads suck.

Poll is invalid, not enough Meme Lords mentioned.

Thank you RAM!

The rest are either totally unknowns or scrubs and probably both.
