Awayindahils

oh and discuss the date.

as you were.

Thanks, Myth and Laika. What new categories do we need, if any? When should the ceremony take place?

Someone else organise prizes this year, I did them last year and can't afford to do it again.

(Hint: Just go to the 2 euro shop)

Ceremony?

Perhaps take off the 'best nickname by Kev' since he hasn't been sitebanned in quite some time?

King.Penguin

But then I won't win anything. I always knew Myth hated me.

xeducat For most helpful poster! Down with Myth.

In seriousness, I think we should try and change all the awards a bit. Don't want them to be too predictable. Best woohoo isn't to far away from best post.

can we get a stalker category?

paperclip

That's old news, man, I'm telling you! Plus, I think he likes one of my friends anyway now, so it's hands off. Er, not that they were ever ON in the first place, but let's not go there. Or anywhere, for that matter.
I'll just sit in the corner with my hands folded.

Awayindahils

i can't afford to do prizes...:(

what with the uneployment and so forth.

Maybe I count as an outsider :0
heh, fun idea

Awayindahils

we could have an anyone who votes chips in 2 euro rule...et voila there would be prizes.

Rather than Worst Poster, how about Antagonist of the Year?

Hmmm you're right. How about Most Argumentative Idiot On The TCD Forum Who We All Wish Would Just Piss Off And Stop Making Stupid Points?

Miaow!

Yeah it was a bit harsh all right but there's a couple of posters here who just seem to pop up to intentionally cause hassle every so often and it really wrecks my head.

I think we should also have a Best Course thread, solely because there are twenty-four thousand BESS students on this thread.

People seem awfully keen on coming up with negative awards.

I agree. Positive awards are probably fairer and would result in less friction between Boardsies.

Agent Smith

As an ex trinity student i support this Product and/or service...

Stargal

The Worst BESS Poster was a joke, and the the only other suggestion was that I said we should change the name of Worst Poster to something else. And that wasn't exactly serious either (although I do think that something like Antagonist of the Year is better than saying that someone is the worst poster of the year). Sorry, I didn't mean turn the thread all negative; that's my fault, I'm v contrary this morning.

/sends to the forum

Ok, so some positive awards. Best Sig? Best Avatar? Best use of a cat photo/ yore ma joke? Best Debate? Final Year Boardsie of the Year?

Best one-liner?

Out of curiousity, will we have more awards then regular posters? Can we have nominations?

Like who?

When we come up with the categories, let's say 5-10 of them. We'll look for 5-10 volunteers to buy a prize for that particular categories (before nominations take place). I'll certainly buy one prize, I'm sure Myth can squeeze 2 euro out of his sofa for another, John (if he's coming), roro, Laika, people like that can all buy 1 prize too (limit 2/3 euro in price).

John

I'll buy a few prizes if needs be. If I can't go I'll give them Kev in advance.

Yeah, I'll chip in - employment rocks! But I can't think of any witty categories, sorry
