ILE Awards - The Nominations Ballot!

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

Having searched the interweb for a survey thing that will allow anonymous open-ended responses I've ended up just creating a greenspun forum. 28 categories, vote for as many people as you like in as many as you like, and we'll sort out the top 5 or so nominations for each category for the final vote.

Be anonymous if you like but don't be personally abusive please.

Here is the ballot!

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Remember you can vote for as many different people as you like in each category.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

The non-duplicate posting rule might lead to some interesting contortions.

― RickyT, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It'll encourage people to be original, ha ha.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

will there be an awards ceremony? and if so, a red carpet?

can we bring a date? should we be MATCHED UP with ilx dates?

― jess, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh yeah by all means campaign!!

For instance Anthony I think you should be a culture nominee so off to vote I go.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Deadline? A week or so. Awards ceremony? At the ILE party.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

but what about joan, ewing? WHAT ABOUT JOAN??

(and this was where you help me out with my ilx crush by usin your moderator hookup, boyee.)

― jess, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rainy, as moderator I order you to cop off with Jess.

There you are, for all the good it'll do you.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

no chance matey

― official stalker, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

FITE.

― jess, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Rainy = ile's helen of troy.

― Nicole, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

jess cracks up freshman lit class:

wisftully, "i wish i was the fact that launched a thousand ships."

laughs all around.

(but i was SERIOUS, damnit!)

― jess, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

1 extra category added/

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

keep it bobbing near the top of new answers - must find a permanent link somewhere...

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

*yawn* the official sponser of those not nominated

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No true, Mene, Will's just nominated you in the Dream Date category.

― RickyT, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Who didn't Will nominate? That boy is a slut.

― Nicole, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Does this mean that you, Tom, will collate all those votes into a comprehensible form?

― Kodanshi, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

And you've been voted singly and collectively in like-to-meet, Menelaus.

The next stage is to sort out the top 4-5 nominations in each category for a one-poster-one-vote ballot. That happens in a week or so.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I haven't been nominated *near* enough. Pity nominations please.

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There'll be separate ILM awards, yes?

― Jeff, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You're complaining Stirling?

― chris, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ILM is getting a proper music-mag style READAHS POLL!

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom, as awards forum owner, are you monitoring the IP addresses of all the anonymous nominations and rubbing your hands like some kind of evil (and quite possibly racist) mastermind?

― Nick, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No, because unless somebody posts anonymously and then under their own name on the same thread I can't tell who it is. And also because I can't be arsed.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Even if they say they wuv you?

― Nick, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

If people are voting anonymously, how can you know that people aren't voting more than once? I suspect a d**mp#atr$l attack on a few of those threads.

― Kerry, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

All the nominations I would've made have already been made anyway. Trust me to be so obvious and predictable. Pah. And I love you aaaaall (hands around sickbags) anyway. So before anyone decides I hate you all or I'm in a strop or I'm using false names to bitch or anything I'll just post here to say that you all rock. Cheers.

Yours needlessly defensively in the wake of arguments,

― Rebecca, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

People voting more than once at this stage = fair enough. If they care enough to make the effort they deserve the spoils.

― Tom, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

So none of my cash rewards have even swayed a unit to vote me in as ILE Dream Date? Y'all talk the hand now...

― Brian MacDonald, Thursday, 15 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

This needs to be back at the top of the new answers page so the next person doesn't have to spend ages looking for it like I did.

― Madchen, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A good point well made Madchen.

― Tom, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's true, I am a slut. I'm on the rebound from Helen B_dale. And red-heads everywhere. *sigh...*

Hey, is there a category for ILE resident sigher?

No, I didn't think so.

― Will, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Hey! I've got an idea! I can keep this thread near the top of the 'new answers' page by talking about redheads and poetry!

OW! Tom, leave off! That HURTS!

― Will, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Whats this about me not liking redheads??

― Tom, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

this (sort of) redhead says Get This Thread Back To The Top!

― katie, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i heart blackhedz

― mark s, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

::ring, ring::

"hello?"

"hello, is this mrs. blackhead?"

"no, this is mrs. whitehead."

"sorry, wrong pimple!"

::click.::

― jess, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

There's this redhead librarian in the Barbican who is *very* nice... she's got style. *sigh*

― Will, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Tom, you are anti-redhead? Bastard.

― Ally, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Some of my best friends are redheads.

― Tom, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Some of my best redheads are friends.

― Sterling Clover, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

You know at this rate everyone will have been nominated for everything by tomorrow noonish. Which is as it should be say I.

― Tracer Hand, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

A likely excuse from the evil redhead hater.

― Ally, Friday, 16 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Back to new answers!

― Tom, Monday, 19 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Are you some kind of hairist?

― Alan Trewartha, Monday, 19 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surely the rough-and-tumble of today's ILE has spawned more nominee ideas....

― Tom, Monday, 19 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes! cutest ILE-er, Best Socks, Pork Pie Eater of the Year...

― katie, Monday, 19 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Best Honorary Poster, ie people that get mentioned a lot despite not posting who feel like ILErs just cos of the whole thing. Like LC or my mom or TOm's Beard.

― Ally, Monday, 19 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I was thinking vaguely of Best Clique but it'd be a bit of a walkover category. Two more days for nominations.

― Tom, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

best clique could be a fight between the english and the thebans.

― anthony, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Not worth starting a thread for and I couldn't think where else to write this: I just was googling the phrase *light my fire* to find a spelling for Jose Feliciano (don't even...) when I accidentally clicked on *I'm Feeling Lucky* instead of the normal search.

I found myself in an ILE thread. What are the chances of that happening eh?

Or does google pick up on where you spend a lot of time?

― chris, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alas Anthony I think the London Posse and the Thebans would both be distant runners-up to the all-conquering Dunedin Invasion.

― Tom, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I thought I might have stood a good chance of Pork Pie Eater of Year but when Alix came home last night with the BIGGEST PORK PIE I HAD EVAH SEEN I think she wins. I had got some KFC. WITH CHICKEN GRAVY! And it was absolutely AWFUL and Tom must be some kind of LUNY.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

ahh, the only time i will ever be able to say to Sarah "i told you it would be horrible" re. a meat product! :)

new category: King Of EggNog. it's gotta be anthony!

― katie, Tuesday, 20 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

One more day for nominations.

― Tom, Wednesday, 21 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

haha guys okay, jokes over, ya got me, but there's one day left- time to start getting the mitch votes rolling in.

― Mitch, Wednesday, 21 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Nominations now closed. I've sorted out the final ballot and I'm working out a good way of running it.

― Tom, Thursday, 22 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

two years pass...

We should do this again!

― hampsterfrench (hampsterfrench), Thursday, 26 August 2004 06:32 (twenty-one years ago)

"Best poster"? "Funniest poster"? No, we shouldn't do it, unless you like circle jerks.

― Tuomas (Tuomas), Thursday, 26 August 2004 11:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Well duh.

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 11:32 (twenty-one years ago)

who won?

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 August 2004 12:44 (twenty-one years ago)

I think there's a fap thread about who won. And the fall out. If only it turned into a circle jerk.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 26 August 2004 12:49 (twenty-one years ago)

if we do it again we'll need Calum as our guest of honour. in the middle of the circle.

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 August 2004 12:51 (twenty-one years ago)

Cockfarmer won Best ILE word.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Thursday, 26 August 2004 12:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Give me prizes!

― SRH (Skrik), Thursday, 26 August 2004 12:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Can we have a "Most under-rated poster?"

I think that's suitably ironic, knowing and smug.

In a good way, of course.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:10 (twenty-one years ago)

As soon as several people voted for them, they would automatically be disqualified, so no one could win it.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 26 August 2004 13:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't win anything.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Were the prizes ever distributed? It was the first FAP I ever went to, the one where the winners were annouced, I left quite early though. December 8th 2001, IIRC.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:19 (twenty-one years ago)

I got a Daphne & Celeste CD, direct from Mark S. I framed it.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Holy crap, look at the end of the ballot for "Best Posting Style!" I still firmly believe everything I forgot I said about Ned's robes.

― nabisco (nabisco), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:27 (twenty-one years ago)

this would suck so hard if done again

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

ilxor who suck the hardest

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

how about an "I Win Everything" board?

― dog latin (dog latin), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

it already exists

― ken c (ken c), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

got a Daphne & Celeste CD, direct from Mark S. I framed it.

You lucky bastard.

Awards just end up with me feeling bitter and envious, so that's probably the perfect reason for starting them up again.
