Also, I hope you only start tallying the counts after nominations have closed because I changed a few of my answers and likely others did as well.
I think that @icopress mentioned somewhere that we are free to change the votes as we like until the deadline so I guess counting starts after that.

Yes, that's alowed and it is also stated in the rules:

        Rules:

  • You can edit your application until the theme is locked.

I think that @icopress mentioned somewhere that we are free to change the votes as we like until the deadline so I guess counting starts after that. Speaking of that, it wasn't easy at all to narrow it down in some categories (for me hardest was scambusting&spambusting and Discovery of the Year) so I am still reconsidering some votes. Then again, I tend to overthink everything, that's why it took me so long to finally vote. The only no brainer for me was Lauda as antihero.

In regard to lower rank members showing up, if there is some merit sharing going on, you can be sure that some will try to get some in an easy way.

And again: it would be awesome if all users would read the OP before posting...

       Rules:
  • You must be a Full Member or higher to nominate / vote.

Oh, that sucks, I'm gonna have a bunch of nominations thrown out!  Cheesy

I think somebody encouraged a bunch of newbish accounts to vote for them and they copy/pasted other responses to fill categories they didn't know or care about. Hopefully one of the ones that doesn't qualify is the account that nominated me for Miss Bitcointalk.

I know this is all a bit of fun, and something the community can get involved with, but it is most certainly a popularity contest! I'll use myself as an example, I've been nominated for spambuster due to my publicly posted reports, but I have it on good authority that there's at least one user that absolutely smashes that record. I've also not reported all that much since becoming moderator, because there isn't really a need the majority of the time. Unfortunately, the data quoted is so out of date, that its hard to determine who's been the most active, and there's a lot of users who spam bust behind the scenes without speaking much of a word about it. I think due to me being quite vocal, and coupled with the reporting effectively guide I made its more about popularity than actual statistics. There's definitely a lot more users that have put in more work on the spam front.

Although, I'm not rubbishing the event at all. I actually think its a real neat idea to get the community involved, but if this was to become a yearly event it would have some benefits, first of all its something to look forward too, and there's also the fact that this can encourage users that may have not made effort in several of the categories, to actually delve into it, and get more involved. Encouraging both activity, and a nicer community!

That said, I'm not sure if I'm going to place a vote since I can't verify certain data, and its very difficult to select 3 individuals in each category, and I don't want to be one of those that sit on the fence Cheesy

Quite frankly, I look forward to next years candidates dressing up, and posing to become "Miss Bitcointalk".

GazetaBitcoin, You have an eye like an eagle  Wink

Hehe, thanks! Smiley

Don't also forget about my other post from above, where I pointed out that users don't read also the description of Antihero category and make ridiculous nominations, such as Bitcoin SV. I'd advise to contact these as well...

And I also noticed another aspect which makes me think that not all users read the OP. Too many users post more than 3 users at a category, which breaks the following rule:

  • A maximum of 3 members can be nominated in each category.

I also advise OP to contact those which mentioned more than 3 users at a category, for informing them that their 4th nomination will not be taken into account. Of course, OP can also contact the respective posters to announce them about the rule and to suggest them to edit their nominations by themselves, thus they'll have maximum 3 nominees at each section.

A week before the end of the vote, I will definitely contact all users who made the following mistakes:

  • A maximum of 3 members can be nominated in each category.
  • The voice was given to the person in the nominations "Fail of the Year", "Event of the Year"

No worries, glad I could help. However, if I remember well you are not the only one with this kind of choice for the Antihero section... That's why I suggested OP to review all the posts and kindly ask the others if "user X" is their correct choice for Antihero. And by "user X" I mean someone which named a notorius scammer there or a troll or a shiller... someone bad anyway.

So sheenshane would "hug and cry" game-protect? Or "kill him first then hug and cry"?
It's my bad and I'm misleading the description, I thought the toxic one.

Edited now, sorry and thank you for mentioning my name.

11. Antihero ....................... game-protect (and his alts)

Just curious here... Why would anyone choose game-protect as Antihero Huh Based on the name of the section, or based on the description (boldface is mine)? Antihero is a sort of appreciation, after all.

He never wanted to be a villain, but he had to accept the rules of the game in which he “plays black”. Remember that even evil has its own principles, so such a person is capable of anything, even if it does not benefit him. Therefore, sometimes you even want to hug him and cry, Well, or kill him first, and then "hug and cry." Trolls does not belong to the "Antihero" category, please read the nomination description.

So sheenshane would "hug and cry" game-protect? Or "kill him first then hug and cry"?

OP, I'd advise to message those choosing such members for Antihero as they most likely didn't read the description of the section.

Paid campaign advertisement:




Americans should be thankful to me for how I rub their fat, ugly faces in the uglier truth:

[...]

Thanks for nothing.


it is safe to say that Nullius personality is closer to AntiHero than anyone else.
Do you admit it @nullius?  Cheesy

I admit it!  I confess!

So Antiheroic am I that once upon a time, I made Lauda cry:

He pwned you there, revealing THE TRUTH that you are not theymos.
Sorry, the truth can be painful sometimes. Embarrassed

I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, Lauda.  My heart bleeds negative-trust red.

Indeed, I confess that I was only pulling on a long con on the Cult of Lauda, so that I could use her power for my plans to conquer the universe.

As a certified cult leader myself, I unfortunately cannot join the Cult of Lauda.  It says so in the rules of cult-leading.  But I do appreciate her eddie13-endorsed power as “the greatest... threat” to TAKE OVER THE WORLD.  For that is only a part of my own scheme:  I will support Lauda’s conquest; and when her world domination is an accomplished fact, I will then seize her in blockchains and carry her off to the Castle of Nullity where from deep within the void, I will use her to rule this tiny speck of a planet by proxy.  It is only the first step in my own plans to TAKE OVER THE UNIVERSE.

The plan is perfect, if Lauda never suspects my intentions before it is too late for her.  I had better tighten up my opsec, and encrypt all my musings on the subject.  She will never see it coming.  Nice kitty.

My invasion of the Cult of Lauda was accursed with infinite recursion!


Furthermore, I have been doxed:  I am Cthulhu.

The Great Dreamer

Deep in the void of nullity,
I stared into the Abyss;
And the Abyss smil’d at me...

nullius is cthulhu. That is very clear. Anyone who does not see this is simply closing their eyes.

On the other hand, Lauda took revenge by using witchcraft to turn me into a newt!  I could not type posts anymore.  I could not even change my avatar away from that damned newt photo.  Thus, Lauda successfully forced me to flee the forum for 20 months.

Now, it is difficult for me to type any posts at all.  Just look at me!  My fingers!

nullius as a newt

Since multiple votes are allowed, I peremptorily demand politely suggest ;-) that you must vote for nullius, Lauda” for Antihero.  In that order.

I'll consider to add it on my vote, thank you to let me know about it.


Voting is extended!

I suggest that more people should campaign here.  What, am I the only one on this forum who knows how to run a political campaign?  Roll Eyes

In any case, I think theymos has his own idea of who deserves to bear the "Custom Titles" and who does not.

I agree with theymos about this.  The democratic gilded laurels of a Community Award should suffice for anyone who cares about the opinions of the community.

I will grant myself the encomium of a custom title, just as soon as I take over as the forum’s new Administrator.  See?  This authentic screenshot is proof that I am soon to be your new lord and master:


All the n00bs who don’t verify PGP signatures will now bow down to me.
Muahahahaha!

Am looking forward to the polls opening for these awards and seeing who were the most nominated users, less than 24 hours to go now I see  Cool
Voting is extended! And now you can see Bitcointalk Community Awards in the forum news feed!



You're doing an amazing job here @icopress. I really hope several more users will vote until December 15th.

I just created a reminder for the users of the German forum section to cast their votes: Erinnerung: Bitcointalk Community Awards - bis zum 15. Dezember abstimmen

Hopefully that will attract some of the German users, who aren't regulary checking the Reputation and Meta section.

I hope so. Why not to let the winners having such badges temporary. It can be one of the kind of forum appreciation for their extraordinary members.
I'm all for it... But unfortunately it does not depend on me. I wrote to theymos, but did not receive an answer on this matter. And although Cyrus is also an administrator, and he spoke positively about this event, but still, he cannot make a sole decision on this issue, (As far as I understand).

In any case, I think theymos has his own idea of who deserves to bear the "Custom Titles" and who does not.

Yes, this event will be held on an ongoing basis (traditionally in the fall).
Okay. Good to know it, I assume this event will make this forum more fun and to appreciate the contibution of valuable members as well.

As for next year, hopefully Theymos will pay attention to this event and maybe join in as a sponsor.

Who but the forum’s true 🏆 Antihero could achieve my antiheroic artistry?
Perhaps today I will plunge into the astral world and call "Cat Spirit" to account.  Roll Eyes

11. Antihero : - (cannot blame someone, sorry)

I hope this can be objective enough. Very nice to have this Community Awards.
@theymos, how if those members who win this Community Awards will have special badges, even temporary badges only.
@icopress, it seems we will have this Community Awards every year, right?
Since this is a agitational thread, and given that Lauda cannot object to this for obvious reasons... it is safe to say that Nullius personality is closer to AntiHero than anyone else.

Yes, this event will be held on an ongoing basis (traditionally in the fall). As for next year, hopefully Theymos will pay attention to this event and maybe join in as a sponsor. Below is an example of how administrators can support this event.

And overall, the West should return to the roots of the Occident:
μῆνιν ἄειδε θεὰ...
Wrath, o goddess sing...’  —In the beginning of Western literature:  Homer.  Do I look wrathful to you?  —Be I thus accursed?  —Be it so, I will reign in Hell...

I admit:  I am “evil”*!  (← Timelord2067, please quote and archive, with your usual vague and ridiculous insinuation of having caught me saying something that I didn’t damn well mean.  Thanks.)

* This admission is qualified below.  But first, I have a public service announcement as part of my antiheroic campaign to beat up on idiots till they ignore-list me:

If you are not reading it, then it is not for you.
Too bad.
Quote from: Nietzsche
Everyone being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
ahem.  I’ll just wait right here, whilst the unmitigated savages add me to their ignore lists.  For they should not be allowed to read what I am about to write.


PSA:  If you dislike my posts, then please don’t read my writing! Thank you.

Ah, that’s better!  Now that everyone is gone, I can get to my point.





THIS SPACE IS INTENTIONALLY LEFT NULL.






I am untamed and untameable.

Uh-oh, the NSA found me.
Quote from: Nietzsche, The Genealogy of Morals, I.11.
The method of this man is quite contrary to that of the aristocratic man, who conceives the root idea “good” spontaneously and straight away, that is to say, out of himself, and from that material then creates for himself a concept of “bad”!  This “bad” of aristocratic origin and that “evil” out of the cauldron of unsatisfied hatred—the former an imitation, an “extra,” an additional nuance; the latter, on the other hand, the original, the beginning, the essential act in the conception of a slave-morality...

...these men who in their relations with each other find so many new ways of manifesting consideration, self-control, delicacy, loyalty, pride, and friendship, these men are in reference to what is outside their circle (where the foreign element, a foreign country, begins), not much better than beasts of prey, which have been let loose.  They enjoy there freedom from all social control, they feel that in the wilderness they can give vent with impunity to that tension which is produced by enclosure and imprisonment in the peace of society, they revert to the innocence of the beast-of-prey conscience, like jubilant monsters, who perhaps come from a ghostly bout of murder, arson, rape, and torture, with bravado and a moral equanimity, as though merely some wild student's prank had been played, perfectly convinced that the poets have now an ample theme to sing and celebrate....  ...all these aristocratic races... the Roman, Arabic, German, and Japanese nobility, the Homeric heroes, the Scandinavian Vikings...  a consciousness of this very barbarianism, and even a pride in it, manifests itself even in their highest civilisation (for example, when Pericles says to his Athenians in that celebrated funeral oration, “Our audacity has forced a way over every land and sea, rearing everywhere imperishable memorials of itself for good and for evil”).
Quote from: Nietzsche, The Antichrist, #2.
The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity.  And one should help them to it.

What is more harmful than any vice?— Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak— Christianity...

Antiheroic” enough for you insapient talking monkeys?  ;-)

When you vote, just remember:  Only I would run a political campaign by quoting the anti-democratic Nietzsche, and taunting the voters—who are probably too stupid to realize that this is my way of laughing at their opinions, no matter whether or not they vote for me.  —We (royal “we”) must amuse ourselves...
