Superlatives 2008?

How come I've never even been friggin' nominated for them? I've only been here for some seven years.

I just want them to start again. When will they begin? Can we suggest some of them?

Yes, phattonez, your dollars just went up in value.

[edit]wait, so the only way I have a chance of getting one is if all the hot-in-the-crotch members aren't around? Awwww...come on. I freaking made MPQ World, and what about all of my Shattered Earth efforts? =_='[/edit]

ShadowTiger ran the superlatives last year; you should ask him if he'd be interested again this year.

I nominate ShadowTiger as the "most likely to set up the 2008 superlatives".

...Man, has it been a year already? crazy.

Respectively:

I accept. Apparently.

And yes. Yes it has been. It's entirely absurd, and I do not recall nary a moment of the events between the two.

So, when does it start?

The events that make the most sense to do now are to determine the Superlative titles, nominate the people, and then vote -- the same as last year. All else I remember from last year is that we had a separate forum for the Superlatives.

One thing I suggest is that we should set a "too old" year limit for the Best Newbie Superlative. I know that there was some criticism last year that Darth wasn't a newbie.

Give it a one year limit.

Is it really that time of the year again?

I never actually imagined the Superlatives having a set time of the year. If anything, theoretically, superlatives should really be given more towards the very very end of the year so that the year's label won't be a partial lie. 😛 But then, that'd coincide with all sorts of fun events, like fall semester final exams, the snowy holidays, New Years plans, blizzards knocking out your power, penguin invasions, etc.

So DarkDragon PMd me. Thanks aye; so should we use this thread to discuss it, or make a new one? Eh, why waste a thread.

Here are a few ideas:

We should have 19 or 20, or 29 or 30 categories this year. I want them all to fit within a single forum page, rather than having something like 27, and having a full page of 25 threads, and having 2 on a straggler page.

Additionally, yes, the newbie time frame is roughly a year and, say, two months?

Also, something to talk about; what if everyone were able to nominate two names? I'll likely be alphabetizing the names in each category this year so that I won't be adding people twice. 😛 So that'd work out.

Once everyone can vote, two weeks for voting. Once we've all finalized our categories for nomination, three weeks for submitting PMs to me. Then a few days for me to set up the forum, and we can start voting.

I've only been here for some seven years.

7, actually

Ugh, that reminds me, one of these days I need to figure out how long I've been here. Technically, I first came here in 2001, but I'm pretty sure there are at least a couple of years in there you can deduct due to hiatuses.

How was I here for 8? I joined in 2001, it is now 2008. If anything, 7.5 years.

Anyway, vote MSU|2008

7 years, 1 month, and a week, Jim. -_-

So anyways, why don't we use last year's categories as a base, then add/subtract catagories until we have all the ones we want?

7.5 😊

Add a 7 years, 1 month, and a week category. I'll tear up the competition!

(The number of diamonds you have is the number of full years you've been at AGN + 1.)

Another conflict was the best/worst user name Superlative. Make sure you break this into two separate titles for the nominations. 😉

Can do! 😊 Other opinions?

Although I personally would also like to add in a few ZC Categories. That's just me though. I mean, hell, just because the superlatives don't take place near ZC's area, and AGN isn't solely a ZC locale, doesn't mean they shouldn't get their fair share of attention. Last year, there was only one question related to ZC. I can think of plenty of categories for nomination offhand.

Superwhat?

Laxatives?

>_> ...Where do you live, again?

And penguins? PFFT! We have polar bear invasions yearly. They roam the streets and pick off unwary old ladies returning form the groceries. If the bear don't like what the lady bought... guess what's for dinner.

omg O_O

I'm so old I don't remember how I first found AGN... was it off of the late zhq.com?
