Title: Early Nominations for Herdstone Awards 2011
Description: Post here while you remember it!


decker_cky - January 13, 2011 03:58 PM (GMT)
Yes, I know that we haven't even finalised the Herdstone awards for 2010, but this thread is in preparation for next years awards. Some of the nomination threads, especially the quote thread, usually get comments on the line of "I'm sure there was some good quotes, but I can't remember them." This is the chance to plug that leak in your memory, by posting a link to the post that contains the thing you want to remember in a years time.

If possible link to the post in question, and not just the thread, by copying the link you get from clicking the Posted: thing on top of the post.

You should also mention in your post what the nomination is (best quote, best off topic thread, best on topic thread and so on).

The Physics of Chariots

QUOTE (Skryre @ Jun 19 2011, 01:16 AM)

Qoute of the game "I hate beastmen, you think your winning and then they kick the s*** out of you"

Best quote. Ever. Wish an opponent said this to me, that would have been my sig, easily!

1 more day!

Can we get a comprehensive list of quote categories likely to feature in the awards?

Or can we just stick quotes here and suggest our own category for said quote?

mrtn - November 17, 2011 10:54 PM (GMT)
There's more than one category for best quote?

This thread can be used for other nominations as well, if you feel you're likely to forget them. Just post away, we can always ignore you if you're silly. ;)

daftgor - November 17, 2011 10:57 PM (GMT)
I can sincerely promise to only ever be silly :P

It explains the misfire rule. Cygor lobs stones underhanded no problem, cygor gets excited tries overhead throw.....'ead urtz...

Can we save this for herdstone awards nomination plox? I dunno the way.

An early nomination by TPG (Thread: http://z2.invisionfree.com/herdstone/index...showtopic=23533 Quote in reference to the impossible biomechanics of a cygor's overarm throw thanks to its horns).

For best thread
Cygor/Ghorgon

9 pages, 134 replies and counting. Might not be the "best" thread for beastmen players given the content, but as a subject for discussion I think it's ace.

Hruggek for best avatar. That thing is giving me the willies. uuhhggg!

I nominate myself for spammer of the year.

I really don't think anyone can beat having their one and only post of the year be a spam post nominating themselves for the best spammer award.

ToPaxyGourouni - November 29, 2011 04:28 PM (GMT)
Voting Mydrin for best new member I suppose. Lots of posts, mostly on topic, decent material, nice manners.

Im just curious why some people's parents refer to them by their forum names?  I would feel a bit off if someone started calling me BBoN, especially my parents...

Hang on, you mean that's not your real name??? What sort of dodgy internet lurker are you!? :P

@daftgor, nice sleigh pun, but I think our talents are wasted here ;)

From the beastly gifts thread.

When the mods get time to take care of the awards we will probably change a few of the categories. When we do we will put up nomination threads as usual. This thread is good for links to threads and similar, but if you want to nominate daftgor for being awesome you will hopefully remember that when the time comes. :)

mrtn - January 22, 2012 10:34 AM (GMT)
All of these have now been transferred to the relevant nomination (apart from the avatar since that is now rolled into the Personal Profile, and Daggoth, since we skipped the spammer award altogether).

Thread closed. Go forth and nominate!
