MFGG Awards 2008 Official Nominations Topic, VOTING IS CLOSED

[Tragic]

It's that time of year again, folks. In this topic, I will present the categories upon which you, the MFGGers, will vote. In the wake of the US presidential election, let's get into the spirit and cast some votes!

First off, let's lay some ground rules. Your votes must be PMed here. That is, to the account called "MFGG Awards." Votes sent to me or any other staff member will not be counted. In addition, you must nominate someone in EVERY category. If you fail to do so, your vote will not be counted.

The deadline for nominations will be Wednesday, November 19, 2008 at 9:00 PM Eastern.

Again, you must nominate someone in every category.

With that, here are your categories:

Individual:
BEST PIXEL ARTIST/SPRITER
Who consistently makes great sprites/pixel art?

BEST ARTIST
Who's the best in forms of art other than sprites/pixels?

BEST ORIGINAL COMPOSER
Who's the guy who can make you feel all kinds of emotion through his original music?

BEST REVIEWER
So thorough and helpful!

BEST ENGINE MAKER
For the member whose engines make you feel like you're playing an official game.

MOST POSITIVE CONTRIBUTOR
Who does the most and best work for MFGG and the forums?

JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES
This guy's good at just about everything.

BEST MFGGER OVERALL
There can be only one.

MOST FRIENDLY
This member gets along with almost everyone.

MOST HELPFUL
Always there to point you in the right direction.

BEST NEWBIE
Any member who joined between December '07 and October '08 is eligible.

MR. POPULARITY

FLAME-PROOF
This guy really knows how to handle a flame. He doesn't just shoot one right back.

Remember that guy that everyone hated that suddenly turned into a good member seemingly overnight?

MOST INFLUENTIAL DEBATER
The member that can make just about anyone change their mind (or at least reconsider their stance).

FUNNIEST MEMBER

BEST GAME OVERALL
There can be only one.

BEST NON-MARIO GAME

The stipulation for this award is that the game you nominate cannot have been yet released.

Not your standard Mario-rescues-the-princess game.

They just keep you searching. And it paid off with awesomeness incarnate.

Special thanks to MFGG.


Stupid awards that have no category:

Mario, Luigi, Ganondorf, or Lucario?

You just never know what we do in our secret little mod forum.


NOW GET VOTING!

[Tragic]

Just a reminder that voting ends tomorrow night, so get your votes cast.

Also, since every category has enough nominations right now, you no longer have to vote in every category.

Happy November.

[Tragic]

Voting is now CLOSED.

Nominations will be tallied tomorrow afternoon, and the final voting topic will be opened either tomorrow evening or on Friday.

Thank you all for your participation.
