Tilted Monthly Awards - August 1 Round
 

Well, here we are again!

It's time to nominate your favorite TFP'ers for the August round of the Tilted Monthly Awards. (we need to come up with a new name, lol)

This month we have a batch of new categories and we have a couple of changes to the process to announce.

From now on, award categories will change monthly and each winner will hold their title for 3 months instead of just one. So the folks who won their awards on July 1:

Tilted Host - Cynthetiq


Tilted Presenter - roachboy


Tilted Mentor - ratbastid


Tilted Natural - Tully Mars


Tilted Samaritan - Martian

...will keep their titles until October 1st, when their titles will be recycled.

Employee of the Month will continue to be given out monthly as we have decided that mods should be ineligible for nominations in the other categories. So don't vote for us in any other category!!
Here is a link to a listing of the forum's mods and admins, in case you need it:

Clear as mud?

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask - either here on the thread or by private message to any mod.

Here are the award categories open for nominations for this month:

The voting will proceed the same as it did last month - Send your votes to me by Private Message. Do not post your nominations to this thread!

...and have fun with it!!!

As the voting progresses we may introduce new features to this thread so that the voting becomes more interactive. Again, like I said last month, this process is still under construction - expect things to change...

One last thing, use this thread to add your comments and ideas about how the voting should work and also to suggest future categories. We can't promise you that every idea will be used, but every bit of advice and creative input helps!

Thanks everyone! Now Ready, Set.....VOTE!!!

Why can't the winners keep their titles? I mean, actors don't have to give up their Oscars after a couple of months...

Well, my first thought is that it's because we would run out of categories very quickly...plus, we have limited space for displaying the awards icons, which would mean folks could never win more than one or two awards.

Just off the top of my head.

But we will take it under consideration. Perhaps there is a way to acknowledge past winners.

Perhaps a sticky thread or something...

I wanna see the icon for Tilted Asshole

starfish...

Uh, mud isn't clear.

Jerks.

(Vying for that tilted asshole award. heh heh)

i've got one somewhere, just give me some time to dig it up...

I think it should be a hand flippin' us all off, lol

hope it's clean...

Also, some things I neglected to mention:

The title of Tilted Samaritan will be voted on monthly by the mods only. A lot of people weren't sure who to vote for in this category last month.

And the deadline!

Please submit your votes to me by midnight, Wednesday, July 30th!

I posted a note in the other awards thread about the vBulletin "Awards Manager" or something like that. It creates a small box below your avatar that can store icons for awards, and even denote multiple awards of the same item. Might be something to look into.

thank you!

I'll make sure that someone with far more knowledge about these things than me hears about it, lol. :)

thanks xeph.... looking at that as a consideration for moving forward in the next version of vb.

I don't understand why mods can't win any awards other than employee of the month.

I mean, you guys contribute to this community just the same as anyone else, plus you keep it in line.

Doesn't really make sense to me...

how's about a plaque?

or something like this:

We thought mods won too many of the awards last round and it made us feel icky. :)

oh my god! it's an ass in a hole! :lol:

one word: Goatse

i was thinking along those lines too

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...oatse-ring.jpg

damnit.. why didn't I see those rings before I proposed??

If a chick has a sense of humor enough to accept that as an engagement ring, I'm marrying her.

Goddamnit. I just googled goatse. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.

I bet that guy is popular in the prison batheries.

I had an idea the last time around that revolved around creating a specific award for the tittyboard. That's a whole different TFP subculture down there (ha! down there... :) ) and I think some of those guys might be interested in something like this. They won't likely get recognized any other way - but they bring a lot of the traffic to the site, or so I'm told (where is Ustwo when you need him? Oh, that's right - he bolted...) and it might be interesting to see bobby win an award for all the work he puts into his posts :P

I agree with this. I think it's an award that can get cycled in the near future.

Thanks, pig darling. ;)

LOL...

I thought that crap had died years and years ago!!

No, but Kirk Johnson (the guy in the pictures) did.

Just as an FYI....
You have eight days and counting to cast your votes!
:)

Shit, bobby would own the award. Let's just name it after him altogether. Best TB contributor: Tilted Bobby.

would bobby be upset if we passed his avatar around for the designation for the award? i'd bet he might - or knowing bobby, he might not...

xoxoxox

If there's a TB award, Bobby will have to either be disqualified or just awarded without any contest.

Just a reminder, the voting will be coming to a close soon.

I got the awards back on people's postbits. If you got one and don't see it please send me a PM.

I'm crossing my fingers for tilted comedian.

That was a joke. Get it? Because I won't. Ba-dum-csh

Possible awards for next time:

Tilted Newbie Handle - Best new original screen name/handle
Tilted Philosopher - The best of our tilted thinkers... what is the meaning of Tilted?
Tilted Devil's Advocate - The most open minded debater.
Tilted Maverick - The renaissance man/woman who posts in the most varied topics
Tilted Dude - The most kicked back member ever. Possibly also high.
Tilted Saint - Everyone loves him/her because he/she can do no wrong.
Tilted Machismo - Eat nails and defecate iron? Yeah. Also could be Tilted Badass.

Come on, people, time is running out. There are a lot of responses here, but the votes we have don't match the number of people participating in this thread. Give it some thought and shoot a PM with your nominees.

Ok, voted.

What if the Tilted Saint is a Communist or Atheist?

I dunno. Most people consider Mother Tresa to be a saint, but those recently released writings of hers clearly pointed to her being at the very least conflicted about her faith. Maybe saint can just mean a person of great virtue.

I just sent in my votes.

Remember: you can't vote for Mixedmedia for sexpot. I know you're just as disappointed as I am, but these are the rules.

im shattered.
