The XilliX fanclub do not deign to answer such vulgar queries.

In other words:

I'm having trouble understanding you; could you phrase that differently?  :P


In response to a suggestion from Xillix, the almighty fount of our wisdom, in whose light we thrive and who we must all praise with mighty extravagance and with all haste... Anyway, XilliX, he should rightfully possess a "meanest" nomination as well. Or you will know why.
Title: Re: The Planeshift Community Awards Ceremony Part III Nominations
Post by: Arerano on December 21, 2008, 06:43:46 pm
Xillix isn't in all categories..

I nominate Xillix for all categories :sorcerer:
(and Kerol surely wasn't the only one)

how's that possible?  :o
Title: Re: The Planeshift Community Awards Ceremony Part III Nominations
Post by: Mathy Stockington on December 21, 2008, 06:51:00 pm
Arerano is Xillix a girl or a GM? I had to make sure people were in the correct categories right? If not I will add him in. Let me know what you think. I wish to be fair.

Post by: Vannaka on December 21, 2008, 08:31:49 pm
....Is it a problem that both Vannaka and one of my alts were nominated for the same category?
Title: Re: The Planeshift Community Awards Ceremony Part III Nominations
Post by: Birot on December 21, 2008, 09:14:01 pm
I believe Hanace should not be on the least trustworthy list he works hard and takes care of his friends, Only reason he made the list is he would not give a (member who left the guild you know who you are ) a non-member of Brotherhood of Talad there guild funds when he left the guild, instead he choose to give it to there new leader Lilura which she has verified and that was the honorable thing to do.

I think if people do not know your alt is you then all is well or PM me and we can work it out. I do not see this as a problem.

Keep the votes coming. Thank you!!

O.o WOW! I got nominated? Funny thing is, I am in shock because I thought for sure I would be in the worst speller catagory. :P Guess I am not trying hard enough! Anyway thanks to all of you who nominated me, it was a pleasent surprize and it is an honor. Mathy I will get you my nominations soon, still thinking on it. I can't make up my mind!

EDIT: Can I also request that we have a title for "Who has improved most with their spelling" I have someone in mind for this that deserves credit and acknowledgement.

Marqsaynt
Duraza

Apparently I'm at least twice as charismatic as anyone else people could think of... I move we withdraw my name and just call the charisma award the "Marqy" :P

Least trustworthy   
Amaymon   
xillix         
Raa   
Hileyo            
Plank      
Marqsaynt            
Hanace      
Part of me wonders if this is talking about the characters or the players. The other part of me doesn't care and just likes seeing my name listed. :lol:

Yay! I got nominated for something!...

Oh wait...


Ah well they always say it is an honor just to be nominated ;)

Hmm, not much competition in my category, hope the other's votes do not get lost because of selection fatigue.

Can I cast a write in vote for neko in the category I got nominated in?  :innocent:

i concur with birot I find that Han is very trustworthy, he doesnt hesitate to help anyone he tells you the correct commands for things  and not just /die for everything like someone  ;)i know, and he did give me the guild funds insted of just keeping them for himself

Wonder if this (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=30695.msg395109#msg395109) tips the balance in my favor any? ;)

Post by: Homik on December 22, 2008, 06:01:32 am
Should i be worried that XilliX got nominated in almost every category, many of which contradict themselves? If he wins both o such pair, i think i'll have to seriously question the mental integrity of this community, which at this point is not very much :P

Oh, and hey, i got nominated >.>

One can usually expect a queen of fools to run off in all directions so the only thing you can count on is that you can't predict whether he is actually in the box with Schroedinger's cat or not.
Title: Re: The Planeshift Community Awards Ceremony Part III Nominations
Post by: zanzibar on December 22, 2008, 07:34:44 am
Marqsaynt is down twice in most charismatic. :)  I like how he was also nominated as least trustworthy, it's a good combination.

I'm still a little uncomfortable with the category of "best looking girl".  There's a thin line between joking around and sexual harassment.  We've had problems here before.  I don't think the category is bad, but we should stay conscious of how our words and actions might affect others and the community.

Biggest forum rule breaker goes to me if my competition is Bilbous... he goes off topic a lot, but so do I, and I post more than he does.  What I don't understand is why none of the porn spammers were nominated, since something like that is so much worse in terms of rule breaking.
Title: Re: The Planeshift Community Awards Ceremony Part III Nominations
Post by: Prolix on December 22, 2008, 08:00:28 am
But, but, bilbous wasn't nominated for anything and hasn't been seen for quite a while!  :devil:

Me and Xillix are your competition in that category but you are welcome to it if you want it. I refuse the nomination.  :whistling:

guess since the voting it pretty much done it is too late to object.  :'(
Title: Re: The Planeshift Community Awards Ceremony Part III Nominations

I refuse the nomination.  :whistling:
We can do that?

Post by: Tuxide on December 22, 2008, 08:38:24 am
I haven't really been paying attention to this thing because I personally think "featured users" (as opposed to "featured game content") is silly.  But why am I nominated for "Biggest n00b hater"?  I don't think it's appropriate for me to be associated with hate.

With titles like "GMs", "Devs" and also with "referring to forum photos" along the votes it must be the players.
I'm sorry for you.  :devil:

See:
Arerano is Xillix a girl or a GM? I had to make sure people were in the correct categories right? If not I will add him in. Let me know what you think. I wish to be fair.

Post by: Mathy Stockington on December 23, 2008, 01:24:45 pm
Now it is my turn to say something here. I read the original threads about the awards and thought that it would be nice to do it again. First I asked for new categories because I did not like all of the ones that were used before. Getting few responses I went with the ones listed in the old thread. Then I had to beg people to vote. This surprised me because I thought this would be a fun thing to do and all of you would join in. Then I get PM’s from people that they do not like the categories and will not vote. Then I hear that people think the thing is rigged. I admit to adding one additional category and that was the ‘Tester’ category where I put ALL the testers so you could vote your favorite. This thread was made for all of you to have fun with and that is all. The people listed come from your nominations. I extended out the date until after the holidays so that people who are away can have a chance to vote. In every way I have tried to be fair. Now all I can say is I hope that you will continue to vote so that I can post the winners.

I wish everyone a Happy and Healthy Holiday.

Xillix it is up to you now to get the votes in. btw, Xillix just tell people to vote. They do not all have to vote for you  ;)

Geez, I'm honored, reallly. I haven't been around that much, so it's nice to be commemorated. Can't imagine who did it, but if it was an actual player, thanks! I don't see myself winning, though. Still, I guess we'll find out come awards day, won't we?  :detective:

Wow, that Karyuu fan base is never leaving :P

Thanks for the nomination, whoever did that, though I don't really think I'm really part of the community anymore :P  I kind of look down on all of you, to be honest...  I guess that's why I'm not in the most liked categories, eh?

There needs to be a "Biggest Decepticon" field. AKA, who's a  girl on the interwebs, but a guy in reality (or sometimes the other way around).

I'd vote Xillix, Farren, Kaerli, Skreit, any girl playing a Klyros, and anyone playing a Kran.

Wow. I am amazed. I made it into one category ... and just the one that is least related to the in-game world.

How about the category "Least interesting character"... :D
__

My nominations:

- Lolitra belongs into "friendliest person".
- Janner (please don't beat me), the "worst speller" is yours. ;)
- "Ileresa and Yadili" for the "biggest arguer" (but, but).

But as usual, I seem to be too late...

I am not sure if my post was deleted or moved. I noticed this thread was split. I requested in one of the threads to have a catagory where I could nominate best progress with spelling. Janner was on my mind. I think he deserves to be recognized for this beause he worked hard at it and it shows. So here's to you Janner! Great job. Sorry I couldn't get you a namination spot but it is the thought that counts. ;)

I agree with Zanzibar and his concern, I am also glad I am not the only one who thought this after seeing the catagories. I didn't pick anyone for both best looking male or female because I didn't feel very comfortable either.  :) Good luck to all the nominees!

Since he is intersexed I'll love for Nurahk in both.

Quote from: zanzibar
I'm still a little uncomfortable with the category of "best looking girl".  There's a thin line between joking around and sexual harassment.  We've had problems here before.  I don't think the category is bad, but we should stay conscious of how our words and actions might affect others and the community.

I agree with Zanzibar and his concern, I am also glad I am not the only one who thought this after seeing the catagories. I didn't pick anyone for both best looking male or female because I didn't feel very comfortable either.  :) Good luck to all the nominees!

How is being called attractive sexual harassment? If someone doesn't want others finding them hot, then maybe they shouldn't be putting their pictures on the internet. Or going outside, for that matter.

Not like it matters. Everyone here is ugly anyway.

I beg to refute that concern. My book is actually rather good.
You may append -looking to that last, as long as I can still read it.  :P

On second thoughts, if I posted a photo of my book now... It's rather photogenic.

Oh.  My.  God.  So if someone suffers sexual harassment (and I guess racism too), then it's their own fault because it was they who decided to go outside?

One swallow does not a summer make.
One comment does not harassment make.
Like it or not posting on the net is entirely voluntary, if you do not like the attention you receive, do not do it.
If you have self-confidence the nay-sayers cannot touch you.
Besides I'm the best looking person here and I wasn't even nominated for that category. Here is my proof:

This would not have happened if I had more participation when I asked for new categories when I first started this therefore I went with the ones that were used previously. In the case of the people who put their pictures here on this forum I think it takes guts. The pictures are here so I see nothing wrong with voting whom you think is handsome or pretty. It is a complement to them.

Parallo I respectively disagree with you that everyone here is ugly. You should take a second look at that thread.

I want the votes in so that Timmothy Perriwinkle will be happy once I post the results so you have until the 9th. If you wish to vote please do.

Yup.  That's something a creep would say to defend sexual harassment.


I apologize for going off topic, but I'm simply shocked that someone might actually defend sexual harassment.  I'm in no way trying to single Prolix out here, since he's not the only one who I think needs to be a bit more thoughtful.

Going off topic is a nuisance, even though it's so easy for people to do by accident, but I think we can all agree that sexual harassment is worse, and it is absolutely against the rules. 

People do not ask to be sexually harassed.  And yes, one comment can by itself be sexual harassment.  I'm hoping that no one is actually defending sexual harassment and this has all simply been bad communication.

Sorry about that, Mathy, Zanzibar is just trolling for votes in the "breaks most forum rules" category, and sadly it appears I am giving him a run for his money.
Still I am feeling a little harassed by him now -- after only one little comment too, so he gets my vote.

I do think you have probably got as many votes as you are going to get, dragging this thing out does not help.

I agree with you Prolix though if you want your vote to count you must PM me. If everyone else agrees then this is done and I will post the results. Let me know what you think by tomorrow. It is only fair to ask you first.

Thank you,

Mathy

[Also Prolix I have found Zanzibar to be reasonable if you PM him he will do as you ask.]

I had thought it was related to the thread since it was in response to a nomination, but the OP is god.  I apologize if B. feels he was singled out for his post, it obviously wasn't my intention to hurt him.

No observer can decide what harrassment is. Only the victim. If there is any.

Some are more used to a little (self-) critical joke. Some less.

Poor Mathy must be feeling really harassed by the persistent discussion of harass (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=harass) definition.
Oh look! persistence is a necessary requirement for something to generally fit the definition. Who'd a thunk I knew what I was talking about.

I find societies penchant for definition creep to be most harassing, except when I am doing it, of course.

Vote for me I am god-like in my essence, write me in if I am not nominated.
