Nominations for the 2011 "Posty Awards"


Recommended Posts

Sorry if late but, if you are going all the way down to the best signature, i think there are other things that comes prior to the signature in forums contribution wise.

 

Such as

 

Best theorician of the year

 

Best play of the year ( whoever offered the best solution in a play problem)

 

Best defense of the year ( same as above)

 

 

So if u accept these categories, i nominate RHM for best play(s) of the year and Gnasher for the best defense of the year (although i couldnt find it, there was a defensive problem where he nailed it) If it is too late for this and u dont accept, no hard feelings :)

I only included Best Sig because it's a silly, non-bridge-related category that a few people suggested and has the potential to be amusing. I don't want to expand the bridge-related awards for reasons already discussed, at least for this iteration of the awards. If people think it's a good idea to have more awards, I will expand them for next year.

 

EDIT: FWIW, I am nominating MrAce for Best Sig. That picture cracks me up every time.

I wanted to nominate the B/I Defensive problem "series" as "thread of the year" too.

 

 

 

 

 

Poster of the Year: RHM !!!

Everything he writes is well thought and always to the point.

 

There have been one or two very good interventions by my dear friend Justin, but overall RHM is well ahead ! No doubt !

Individual Post of the Year

mikeh for "Expert Thought Processes" (I haven't tracked down the link to this one, anyone have it?)

hrothgar for "Sneeches"

 

 

At the risk of screwing up the link, I think the post someone was kind ehough to nominate is #28 on this thread:http://www.bridgebase.com/forums/topic/47638-distributional-filth/page_hl_%2Bdistributional+%2Bfilth_st_20

For best newcomer I would think SimonFa and Statto are worth nominations. Simon because of well thought out B/I posts and an excellent manner and Statto because he only joined in December but still managed to make a positive impression.

Thanks, appreciate the mention; I've managed to make 80 posts without saying anything completely daft, but I think the other candidates are stronger :)

 

Most of my +1 votes seem to have come from

So just sharing the lurve with a +1 for the above post B-)

Best Signature

no nominations yet!

I like the 1st 2 quotes on MrAce's sig, perhaps drawn to them because of the size of the pic (previously nice pic of truck, but filled up the whole screen, now large for another reason, tho perhaps a bit un-PC [aside: I don't want an argument about PC, please don't go there]) ;)

 

Scanning thru this thread alone for other nominees: Free, jillybean, SimonFa, Lurpoa. So that's 5 for you. There must be more, as I'm sure I've seen others with good one-liners... B-)

I think the votes for every category should have a "None of the above" option - if there is no good candidate for an award, we should skip it for this year.

Someone is going to register the username "noneoftheabove" and completely dominate next year.
