The Inaugural 606v2 End of Year Awards

First topic message reminder :

So its fast approaching another new year!! I think it would be fun to have an end of year awards ceremony. There are a lot of interesting characters on 606v2 as well as some very informative rugby posters, so plenty of categories to choose from.


Categories
As I think everyone should be involved, I ask now for categories. On the 14/12/12 I'll go through this thread and choose a selection of the most popular categories. I will then post a new thread with all of the categories.

Nominations
Once the categories thread is up I'll ask you all to privately email me your nominations for each category, for which there'll be another cutoff date (22/12/12 @ 5pm). You may nominate yourself for any category if you so wish.

The Award Ceremony
Once all the nominations are in I'll create a thread for each category with the results, saving most important ones for last. These will be posted on the 23/12/12 in the evening some time, probably 9pm.

Sound Good?

So to get the ball rolling here are a few categories...

Thread of the year (So you'd email me the contributor and the title of the thread, ie Bsando - "Thread Title")

Most Amusing Poster (I'm sure we can think of a better name for this, ie The Clown Award or something of that nature)

Most Positive Contributor

Most Passionate Contributor

Post as many as you can think of and state which ones you like the best so I can choose the favs easily

Cut off Date for Categories = 14/12/12

-The 2Day FM award for the poster who tries hard but just isnt funny

Topical but surely it's too soon!!!?

Well there were a couple of times this year where the jokes I told didn't hit the mark.

Troll feeder award.

If only it was a WUM award.

I like that, the Haka award.

- Glas

You'll get over it eventually.

Maybe Levenson should look into it?

The Attack The Idea... not the Poster (non ad Hominem ) Award

Come on now Breaker, we want awards where you can have a choice of nominees to vote for

P.S. how did your clarifications go? Did you nail it?

Still waiting. Handed it in yesterday... they said we'll know this morning. i.e. next few hours - just before 9am here now.

Good luck.

Thanks -

"the Terry Tate" - awarded to the poster who has de-railed the most threads

The Royal Pregnancy award – the award for the topic which got the most threads/posts but was barely worthy of one.

The best emoticon award.

Could we do a moment of reflection in the middle of the awards, and run through those posters that have been lost/banned during the year.

The 606v2 award of awards award: Best made up award on a made up awards thread. Awardception if you will.

The Paddy Wallace award
For the poster who gets most grief despite being actually quite sound

The Dan Cole award
Most improved poster

The Ronan O’Gara award

The Joe Marler/Adam Jones//Cian Heally/Ally Jacobsen award

That's just reminded me of another one.

The Queasy Stalker Award:
The lurking vicious ass poster who can't fathom the concept that his constant trailing of another poster, if it happened in the non-cyber world, would be regarded as serious criminal activity of the nutball kind.

Because you frequent some tough hombre pubs and feel the need for some backup?

Stepehn Jones award for poster who most upset our Kiwi Brethren ( oh hi Glas...)

I only did it once...

I think it's more to do with their chilled out attitude to a few pints after a game. Usually quite sedate after using up all their energy in scrums. It's the backs who've been twiddling their thumbs who get a bit rowdy after a couple of pints of hydrogen. Props being bigger boned can usually hold their liquor a bit more as well.

Great idea this. Reckon the Mods should pick 10-15 categories then have an open thread for nominations, then a vote. Could become an annual tradition!

Yes - the 'Notch' or 'Marmite' award for, erm, intensity...

So long as I blydi win something.

I agree with you actually. They don't have a lot to prove off the field that they haven't already proven on it. Yeah, chilled would be a good way to describe them. Adam Jones is certainly a guy who seems really laid back.. so I'd assume he'd be good company- althought to be honest, I wouldn't understand a word he said. He has a Welsh accent I can't really decipher.

Nothing to do with his accent, he just mumbles.

You should have seen the pretty boys hovering around the groupies in the Quinell bar after the match on Saturday, like fighting cocks, whilst both sets of forwards were sat together round a big table chatting away and having pints of squash.

Depends is they are a group of awards from each nation - just saying like :-)


I expect I will get the Award (S) for causing a meltdown with the fewest letter (s) - S

The 'Best-poor-typer-to-help-convey-the-fact-that-english-is-not-my-mother-tongue' award?

Or,

'Throw-in-the-occasional-spelling-mistake-to-keep-them-guessing' award?

Sorry, those might be a little far!

Sounds like AWOP is going to be making an awful lot of emotional speeches on the big night! I do hope he leaves the stats, that will prove beyond doubt his gratitude, at home though.

"Due to circumstances beyond his control AWOP could not be here to collect his award this evening..."

Or are we hosting this on neutral ground?

I'm almost certain Tom Hanks will be picking his awards up for him if he doesn't/isn't allowed show.
I saw the two articulated trailers full of Kleenex tissues being delivered early this morning at the rear of 606.

AWOP:
Special award for development of and advice on international refereeing standards. A large gold plated fern shaped whistle.

I think a number of the suggestions have been very funny. Could bsando (as he started it) choose the top ten suggestions and we could actually do this?
