Welcome to the RV New Year 2016 Results Ceremony!
Yup, it's me again, sorry to disappoint. But the polls are closed, the results are in, and the trophies are just about ready to take out of the oven, so let's get started!
Spoiler: show
Non-fulltable version just in case.
Quick Recap!
The Medal
What do I get if I win again?...
#1. Nominations Round: The Categories (December 10th - December 24th)
Pretty much all of these are returning from last year, but don't worry, because they're good categories.
Copy this list, and put it into your post. Add your nominations and a reason for each one.
There are a few simple rules for your nominations. If you don't follow them, your nominations won't be counted, but they're pretty easy, so bear with me:
• No self-nominations. You can promote your work around the forums to convince others to nominate you or vote for you instead.
• As stated before, make sure you give a reason for each of your nominations. Link to a piece of your nominee's work, and also just write a few words, a short sentence or two, or even an entire novel to explain.
• Make sure your nominations all are active or took place after the last RV awards in December 2014.
• No leaving more than three categories blank. Give it your best shot at who you think deserves the vote.
• Keep your nominations in one post. The Edit button exists for a reason.

And now, without further ado...
On to what you've all been waiting for......
The Results!
In the Best Moderator category...
How is the site still intact, again?
SECOND PLACE: nin10mode and Raz!
FIRST PLACE: Doram! And with a whopping 85% of the vote, at that!
A well-deserved recognition of your massive contributions to the site: the continuing wiki overhaul project, all the work you've done on the site code, managing literally the entire second half (if not more than that) of the Runolympics... I could go on, but I don't think this needs much more explanation. Awesome work.
In the Best of the Other Staff category...
The ones that keep the ones above doing their job! *prod prod*:
THIRD PLACE: Oranjui!
SECOND PLACE: Venexis!
FIRST PLACE: FrozenFire!
You're a superb lemon, FF. Thanks for Keeping It Together out there for us in the absence of other help.
In the Best Regular Member category...
True assets to the community:
THIRD PLACE: NanTheDark!
SECOND PLACE: Chaukai, Supershroom, and Vesoralla!
FIRST PLACE: lordpat!
First three-way tie already, wow. Anyway, congratulations, Pat! You totally earned this with all you've done around here. But that's not to say you other contenders didn't. Keep it up, everyone!
In the Best New Member category...
Keeping the site fresh:
THIRD PLACE: Jumbo101!
SECOND PLACE: FluorescenceLight!
FIRST PLACE: bowser2007!
2015 was certainly a great year for new members, both in terms of sheer volume and in terms of all thedrugs events we had this year to keep them hooked keep the site fun and interesting for everyone. Glad you're able to be here with us! And, of course, congratulations to Bowser!
In the Best Level Designer category...
The newest (or is it old now?) medium of artistry:
THIRD PLACE: Niicola and Venexis!
SECOND PLACE: Jumbo101!
FIRST PLACE: Triple J!
2015 was quite a year for LDing, too. We saw a lot of new talent in both the realms of SM63 and LL, along with resurgences from long-time veterans. Of course that's partly thanks to the Runolympics, but still. Anyway, congrats to JJJ, and keep it up with all your masterpieces out there, everyone!
Oh, and all of you reading this should totally consider entering the 4th LL LDC that just started today. Hint hint.
In the Best Artist category...
And now, on the more traditional side of art:
THIRD PLACE: AniLo!
SECOND PLACE: Vesoralla!
FIRST PLACE: FrozenFire!
I'd say 2015 was a great year for art, too, but I think I'm just repeating myself by now. But seriously, everyone who was nominated this year is a fantastic artist. I'm consistently blown away by all of your work, and I'm almost certain that I'm not the only one who feels that way. And congrats to FF! I think this award applies to both your visual art and your singing skills.
In the Biggest Fanboy category...
AKA biggest Raz wannabe:
THIRD PLACE: lordpat, with math!
SECOND PLACE: Supershroom, with SM63!
FIRST PLACE: Rizumu Tenshi, with anime and all your rhythm games, and
Raz, with everything ranging from Steven Universe to veterinary science to superheroes to, well, literally everything!
All of you have a huge passion for the things you care about in life. It's really inspiring and amazing sometimes. Keep doing what you're doing. Congrats, RT and Raz!
In the Best Avatar category...
runouw.com irl: selfies of the soul
THIRD PLACE: Karyete!
SECOND PLACE: MessengerOfDreams!
FIRST PLACE: Raz and Oranjui!
We've had some great avatars this year from a lot of people. There were actually seven different nominees for this category, which was the second highest of all of them. In any case, congrats to Karyete and MoD for making it to near the summit of that huge poll, and of course congrats to Raz with his gorgeous avatar(s) and also begrudgingly myself. Can't say I was expecting to even place at all, but I guess if I can win you all over with particle physics, then that's pretty cool. :D
In the Best Signature category...

(")_("):
THIRD PLACE: Oranjui!
SECOND PLACE: ~MP3 Amplifier~!
FIRST PLACE: FrozenFire!
This was also a pretty huge poll, just like the Avatar one, though there were only 6 nominees here. Anyway, I've seen some really interesting sig designs this year, and I hope there's more where that came from. Congrats to FF and Amp!
In the Funniest Member category...
congrats, tru, don't put that in the quote museum, good one, same, congrats, a, me too thanks, ayy lmao, tru, congrats, i'm funniest member, oh wait automated ♥♥♥♥ wasn't funny:
THIRD PLACE: *Emelia Kaylee!
SECOND PLACE: Bamsmarck, Chaukai, FrozenFire, and Venexis!
wait holy ♥♥♥♥ what was that a quadruple tie
FIRST PLACE: brandoprojectm!
Whew, that was a mouthful. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that just may be our first four-way tie ever. Congrats to brando! and congrats as well to all eight (!!!) of you other clearly irrelevant nominees. oh also a link to the relic I referenced in the spoiler title
Who's the Master of a Hidden Talent?
Lurking in the shadows...or at least some of you:
THIRD PLACE: Jumbo101!
SECOND PLACE: FrozenFire!
FIRST PLACE: Harmless!
I need to check out more of you guys' stuff, because it's clearly too hidden for me. Congrats, Harm!
Who's in the Most Notable Site Friendship?
bryce+oj for president 2016:
THIRD PLACE: Supershroom and Jumbo101!
SECOND PLACE: Bamsmarck and Oranjui!
FIRST PLACE: FrozenFire, lordpat, and Raiyuuni!
A bunch of people nominated various combinations of the winning three, and they all said okay to just combining them into one group. So yeah, congrats to you guys. Looks like Bryce and I just lost all that we've lived for up to this moment. :'(
What's the Biggest Site Accomplishment?
Runouw the Undying:
SECOND PLACE: Move to Discord!
FIRST PLACE: Runolympics!
Us site members were pioneers in a number of ways this past year, but the most significant one of these to the voters appears to have been the Runolympics. Looks like the third time's the charm with these things, with Star's 2015 attempt being the one to finally take off and be successful. And while it was certainly tough and grueling at times, we made it through alive and I think we all had a lot of fun together, with help from our provisional host Doram. What a time to be alive. Congrats to everyone who participated, and especially to Asterocrat and Doram for organizing the entire thing!
And the best level is...
.......................:
THIRD PLACE: Karyete's Weather Reign!
SECOND PLACE: Niicola's The Level!
FIRST PLACE: Supershroom's Ride through the Mines!
Beautiful work, everyone. Looking forward to what everyone brings to the table in 2016.
oh, I almost forgot, don't forget about the 4th LL LDC
In Conclusion...
This post took way longer than I expected, sorry everyone who was hoping for results earlier today. :( But anyway, congratulations to the winners, and thanks to everyone on the site for making these things possible! 2015 was great; I hope to see even more from everyone this coming year.
