Hey guys! With voting time up again, thought I'd join in teh action. It's taken me ages to select the candidates for each of the awards. That was the EASY part. The hard part was wittling down the list to just one member per category! Every member here has their unique qualities and have contributed to the growth and immaculate reputation of this forum in some way or another! So even if you don't get an award people...feel good and proud about what you have achieved in by making this forum as great as it is!

Now...here are my nominations:
Friendliest Member - This was a toughy! With so many friends on the forum, how in the WORLD do you pick just one of them to receive an award?! Still, for this award, I nominate
KingdomKey23. Never a sour word seems to have past this guy's lips when it comes to posting on the forum (or fingertips). Respectful, approachable and just an all-round nice guy! There's nothing that seems to dampen this members spirit. Keep it up KK23!
Most Helpful - Whenever you need something done or you just need at little extra hand at the right time...make sure you've got this guy on speed dial coz he'll probably have it for you before the call's even connected!

My nomination goes to
Action9000. Thanks to Action we've had the privilege of watching the LBT series thru links, pictures, movies clips and music are always available and if anything else just needs a bit of an outsider's glance...you know who to call!
Best Role Play Gamer - A field I'm a little unfamiliar with but still a topic worth poking into now and again regardless. Role Play's take a lot of imagination and to a lesser extent a level of management so that the game can keep going. Therefore, my nomination for this award goes to
Threehorn. I voted for him last year and he's got it from me again this year. Keep up that creativity genius Threehorn!
LBT Philosopher - Whenever a topic of much needed discussion arises, you can be sure this member is always there to lend his two pence worth! The candidate I pick for this award is
Malte279. No matter what the topic, this fella is always on the ball. No subject matter too controversial, no post too outlandish, no quote too hard to find to back up his persuasive tone of argument (Well, no argument there...he's a History Major at uni for cryin' out loud! LOL

). Congrats Malte279...you got my vote!
New Member Award - Over the past few months, a number of newbie members made their way onto the GOF scene. We welcomed them in the traditional GOF way and they got to work posting away. Still, with the influx of new members, they saw to it to stick to the forum and continued to make it a great place to hang out. For this award, I pick
KingdomKey23. I think, his input into the forum has made him stand out from the crowd. Still, thanks to all our other newcomers...everyone has to start somewhere and you've all come along great!
Most Proactive - This forum loves input. New topics, new things to talk about, new works of fanart to show off and allow others to admire (and criticise constructively of course

) For this award, I select
Novaflare. This guy exploded onto the GOF scene and immediately felt right at home by jumping in on discussion subjects, making discussions of his own, and soon got to work on some impressive works of LBT fanart that he shot to us at every stage of development. Novaflare...kudos to you sir...kudos!
Best LBT Fanart - Now everyone knows that you only become famous for your art work long after you've kicked the bucket. Thankfully, the talented artists of this forum are already accreditted for their wonderful pieces the best part is...they're all still frequent posters!

Anyway, seriously, for this award I picked
Malte279. Malte's art (not just with a pen and paper) is remarkable in not only the quality but the diversity in his methods. Using tin smelting, clay and other materials besides. Keep them coming Malte! I think the Tate Modern will have to make space for your collection soon!
LBT Projects - Again, a long list of candidates I saw fit to receive this award and again a tough decision to rule one over the other. But, having undertaken an immense amount of thought and implicating very technical selection methods (flipped a coin so many times my fingers started to smell rusty and not even that helped!

) Still, disgressing again. My nomination for this award is the very talented
DarkHououmon. The videos she splices together and all other LBT projects she undertakes always shine with an essence of passion as well as quality!
Best LBT Gamer - The Party Room is a great place to unwind and just kick it back with fellow LBT lovers. The room has given way to a wide variety of games and other ways to get a giggle and chase those daily glooms away. But I feel this particular member has spent a little extra time at the player's table. My nomination is
Littlefoot Fan. Well played sir! Good clean conduct, well performed and just a general good player! Nice one LF Fan...keep ya head in the game!
Feedback - Critics are a special breed of people. Basically, they'll chat the back legs of a donkey and don't give a monkey's what anyone else thinks!

Or maybe that's just celebrity critics. Anywho, when it comes to constructive criticism, this member gets 5 stars! I nominate
Petrie. His words are kind yet potent. He can always seem to get his point across without causing a uproar, causing offense or generally making you want to lash out in anyway :^.^: A great personal trait! My hat comes off to you Petrie
Well, there's my shortlist. I'd recommend anyone who has yet to vote to get it done ASAP. The quicker things work out, the quicker we can get around to processing and revealing the results. Happy voting guys...and all the best to you!
