Runouw Votes: Winter 2014

Welcome, everyone! To the first Runouw Votes in the winter since the end of 2012! Its been a long time since our last actual Winter RV, (almost 2 years since the start of the last one) but this time, I'M HOSTING. HOORAY. I'm sure you're all ECSTATIC.




What? How does it work?

Most of you don't need the rundown for how this works, but too bad, there's some new users who need to learn as well, and even the old users who may need refreshing. Runouw Votes is our forum's award ceeremony, which is split into two phases. The first phase is the nomination phase. But to nominate anyone, you need the categories! All returning from last year's RV except for the Last Legacy one, which has been combined with the SM63 Award. And since I'm Raz, I'll add a light hearted category just for this RV.
Code: Select all
Best Moderator (For our outstanding Moderators and Global Mods):
Best of the Other Staff (Level Mods and User Reps who deserve special recognition):
Best Normal Member (Ordinary members who go above and beyond):
Best New Member (Passing on the torch):
Best Level Designer (Creator of worlds):
Best Artist (Pretty colors...):
Biggest Fanboy (Dangerous obsessions):
Best Avatar (Awesomeness on the side):
Best Signature (Every post is cool):
Funniest Member (Laughter is the best medicine):
Master of a Hidden Talent (Don't underestimate me!):
Most Notable Site Friendship (Awwwwwwww~):
Biggest Accomplishment (On site or off, we get stuff done... sometimes):
Best Level (be it Last Legacy or SM63!):
Most likely to die first in the Apocalypse (not everyone has survivor skillz!):

Now, just copy the the above into a reply, vote whoever you want, and post! After about two weeks, the second phase of voting begins. I'll put up polls for everyone to vote in and whoever has the most votes per category will be a winner, and even gets this shiny award:
Bling Bling: show

Now then, continuing from what Ven started last RV, there will be some rules for your nominations or else I won't count them. You're still not allowed to nominate yourself this time around, sorry. Try to promote your work and even mention in your own posts why you're worthy. Next, reasons are mandatory, it's simple to make a sentence explaining why, and make sure your nominations all are active or took place after the last RV awards in July 2014. Now, the new rules I'm adding is simple: No leaving more than three categories blank, give it your best shot at who you think deserves the vote, it's simple. And keep your nominations in one post. Edit exists.

With all the boring rules out of the way, I wish everyone a good luck! And if anyone has trouble understanding anything, feel free to ask here. And remember: Don't get frustrated with not getting nominated. Be more active, it'll help a lot, and even then, it's still people's opinions that affect their own nominations and votes.



Nominations End: December 25th

Polls End:January 6th



Vote here!

Best Moderator (For our outstanding Moderators and Global Mods): Amp. She's so nice and work really hard, so of course she should be here.
Best of the Other Staff (Level Mods and User Reps who deserve special recognition): Doram, because he is a clever guy and get stuff done.
Best Normal Member (Ordinary members who go above and beyond): Karyete. I don't really know, but mostly because he's nice but doesn't have any RV medal yet.
Best New Member (Passing on the torch): Supershroom, I guess. He's participating in a lot of events in the site and LDCs and all that stuff.
Best Level Designer (Creator of worlds): Yuri, because of his horrible awesome level designing skills and his very mediocre interesting levels.
Best Artist (Pretty colors...): NanTheDark
Biggest Fanboy (Dangerous obsessions): missingno

Funniest Member (Laughter is the best medicine): missingno
Master of a Hidden Talent (Don't underestimate me!): missingno
Most Notable Site Friendship (Awwwwwwww~): Nan and Yuri. they're soo cute

10/10 very good rules. If you really want to get nominated for something, you're definitely not the only one... help everyone out by filling it in as completely as possible. :p Anyway:



Spoiler: show
Best Moderator (For our outstanding Moderators and Global Mods): Amp. For real, she's hosted the halloween events, helped manage LDCs, preserved order on the forums perhaps better than anyone else. In Suyo's absence, she's made huge strides toward learning how the site code works, all while contributing on a personal level to the community.

Best of the Other Staff (Level Mods and User Reps who deserve special recognition): Doram. Raz would also be an excellent choice here, but in terms of sheer progress, Doram takes the cake. He's done a huge amount of work on the new wiki, task organization, and keeps cool even in the face of frustrating situations.

Best Normal Member (Ordinary members who go above and beyond): MK. He's here a lot, and always up to play a game with the rest of the community, even going so far as to try and host his own servers. Despite the rest of the site often responding less than kindly, his dedication to start a variety of fun events for the community where there otherwise would be none is not unnoticed.

Best New Member (Passing on the torch): Bam. Um, does anyone else even qualify for this? Although he's been talking with us on Skype since before the Summer 2014 Votes, his account wasn't made till August. That, and astrophysics. :p

Best Level Designer (Creator of worlds): Lordpat. Seems huge, multipart levels are all the rage these days. Maybe that's why I enjoy his levels so much. They're not overly long or difficult, but are well structured and almost always contain a secret or two for replay value. Most importantly... they're a lot of fun.

Best Artist (Pretty colors...): Nan. We've all seen his art for the halloween event- it's creative, original, and completely handmade. In addition to his own artwork, he's made avatars and signatures for other people, too. I like his style.

Biggest Fanboy (Dangerous obsessions): Raz. Oj might've been a contender here (those TV series tho) had Raz not been a fanboy to literally every franchise, fandom, and game in the known universe. You just can't compete with that.

Best Avatar (Awesomeness on the side): Star. Same as below, and Sm4sh. Who doesn't like Sm4sh?

Best Signature (Every post is cool): FrozenFire. I'm not at all an artist, so I have no real idea what to look for, but his sig is probably the nicest looking one on the forum currently, in my opinion at least. It's clean, pretty, and effective.

Funniest Member (Laughter is the best medicine): Chau. Whether it's a witty punchline, good timing, or (more often than not) both, his sense of humour is a key part of forum chats. For real. If you don't laugh, you're probably a robot. Scratch that, even B-O-T has been seen laughing.

Master of a Hidden Talent (Don't underestimate me!): OJ. Good ideas, easy to get to know, willing to take responsibility when it's called for, and knows about a ton of stuff both on site and off. I really don't know how this guy isn't a Site Rep, at least.

Most Notable Site Friendship (Awwwwwwww~): BRNDNNNNNN and FORUUUUUUU. It's been over five years. 'Nuff said.

Biggest Accomplishment (On site or off, we get stuff done... sometimes): Staff management overhaul. Including but not limited to establishing a forum where people can leave suggestions, the creation of a staff chatroom for better communication, actual progress on a number of site projects, and finally, the collective effort to step up in Suyo's absence.

Best Level (be it Last Legacy or SM63!): No answer yet. Levels take a long time to play.

Most likely to die first in the Apocalypse (not everyone has survivor skillz!): Raz. Come on let's be real guys. A zombie outbreak or freak meteor or laser T-Rex isn't going to hit some backwater village in the middle of nowhere, nah, it's gonna hit the east coast. And not just any east coast, it's going to hit the east coast of America, most interesting nation on earth. If disaster movies have taught me anything, it's that they're inexplicably attracted to Raz's approximate location always and without fail. RIP Raz.
