OK - not sure of the name but how about an end of year Awards thread where we can nominate fellow forum members for "awards"

Some categories I thought of:


thread of the year
post of the year
best Craps thread of year
best Blackjack thread of year
best Roulette thread of year
best VP thread of year
best Off Topic thread of year
member of the year
AP play of the year
AP worst play of the year



Who knows, just a fun idea…

No offense, but I abstain from nominating as well as nomination.

This would have the potential to derail and turn nasty faster than any thread ever has. I'm with DJ on this one.

I think this could be fun. But we'd need rigid categories. And alcohol would help. Maybe we could work the details out between now and late spring, and do a live awards presentation at WovCon IV around Memorial Day?

Sounds good but you might want to check with the top Golden Shower sites to make sure the name hasn't been used yet.

So aceofspades already gets nominated for worst idea category.

: )

I don't know if it will turn nasty, but I give it better than 50% chance it would and yet I'm fine with it.

(and I think 50 is lowballing)

Well - if you read my original category ideas - I was attempting to maintain a positive outlook (other than worst AP play)

I think your idea has great merit and would be a social experiment of note, unfortunately there are too many negative, sand bagging, low balling, bitter, break even, maladjusted people on ALL BOARDS so it would just be a headache for Wiz and Mission to try and regulate all the nonsense that would be spouted.....

I personally like the idea but only if it is items like mentioned in the OP. I don't like the ideas like best troll and such. Why give idiots a reason to post more and if it would ever get to real awards why would one show up to get embarrassed.
