Thanks to a combination of midterms and moving into a new apartment I kinda spaced the two year anniversary of the forums and it looks like everyone else did too. But better late than never, time to party! And it's also time for the return of the Pebble Version Forum Awards! The catagories are...
Best Overall Poster (for a person who is very active and consistantly makes high quality posts and threads, follows the rules, has good spelling and grammer, etc)
Nicest Poster (for the nicest, kindest, and most helpful poster)
Best Role Player (for an active RPer who makes good posts and really helps advance the RP(s) he or she is in)
Most Fun Poster (for the person who makes the most fun and amusing posts)
Best New Member (for someone who joined AFTER last year's forums awards)
Ok. Now that you know the catagories, here are the rules. You have all have one week, starting today, to send me your nominations for each catagory. Use PMs, DO NOT POST THEM IN THIS THREAD!
The rules for the nominations are:
1. You cannot nominate yourself.
2. You must nominate a different person for each catagory.
3. New for this year, mods can now be nominated. I, however, cannot.
Once the nominations are in I will pick the top two or three people in each catagory and there will be a vote to determine the winners. Winners will recieve a special member title, a graphic for their signiture, and a cameo in a Pebble Version bonus comic.
Please send me your nominations now.

Congratulations everyone!
Now for the prizes...
Stevenson, Artemis, Shadowman, please PM me and let me know which non-legendary pok?mon you'd like as your new member title. Silver, Opal, I'm assuming you want to keep the titles you have although if you'd like to switch to a different pok?mon let me know.
Signiture graphics will be done sometime over the next few days and sent to the winners.
Each winner will be featured in a series of special Pebble Version voter bonus comics. There will be five comics (one for each winner) and they'll be replacing the usual weekly Blooper Reel comics starting on friday the 11th. If you have your own sprites that you want used please send them to me ASAP.

There's only one thing I have to say about that...
I didn't expect to be nominated :blink:
I expected even less to win!
Therefore, I thank everyone who voted for me and everyone who didn't vote for me. That was a cool contest because I seem to have won against all odds (joined pretty late, usually lose all contests) and because Stevenson won too. *High-five Stevenson, join Celebifly in the scream-from-Canada*

Hey, look at that. I'm still the most fun poster. Can't say I was expecting that. [/sarcasm]
I betcha it's only 'cause my sign was cooler than MK's. Either that or it's magic. How else could Pedro have won with it? That would explain Opal's victory, too... *Lightning'd*
Huh. I've been meaning to make something new in the sprite department... I'll see if I can come up with anything fast. And yeah, I want to keep the Shiny Pidgeot title. Obviously.
As for Stevenson, he's experiencing what I guess you could call technical difficulties at the moment ("My Computer's in the kitchen." -Stevenson)... it's not gonna take long or anything, but either way, I'm sure he'd want to be a Shiny Pikachu *lightning'd a million times over*
...One more time! Magic sign!

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

The same way Stevenson would respond if his title was ACTUALLY changed to Shiny Pikachu. I would promptly exit the forum, but not before shouting "SCREW YOU!" in the general direction of the offender. Which in this case would be Josiah. I'd surely be banned for that, and maybe I wouldn't care for, oh, five minutes, but then I'd decide I like this place too much so I'd break into my school, use their IP adress to create another Yahoo e-mail address and use that e-mail address to create another username. But first, I'd have to come up with some cool alter-ego. I could be like... Douglas. From Pillow, Pennsylvannia. And my username would have to be something seemingly random but that secretly makes it obvious that I'm really Silver in disguise like Yankee Doodle, Geoffrey the Giraffe, or Bleedy McBleederson (don't ask)... ok, maybe I wouldn't do the same thing as Stevenson, because he's not stupid enough to get himself banned in the first place. I also happen to have a sense of humor, so I'd probably REALLY be more like, "Yeah, yeah, I'm laughing on the inside.[/sarcasm] Now change it back before someone gets injured in a scene that shauni would remove from ROM the comic due to excessive violence and gore involving a spade and a few rocks."
...Yeah I know I overdid it. In other news, I'm working on that Silver sprite that I said I'd been meaning to do for a while... I need SOMETHING better than a Pidgeot in a coat. So I'm doing it in the style of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. BIG surprise there. But you know what? I think I finally figured out why they put the Hundred Acre Wood in the Kingdom Hearts games! Owl's wings happen to look remarkably similar to Pidgeot wings. That makes my job remarkably easier.
