Stabyourself Awards 2013

[Trist3D]

Meh. Who needs sides anyways?

[Camewel]

I made a campaign~ Not for the light hearted~

RESLUTS:

kiashi wins all the prizes

;)

[renhoek]

huehuehuehue well that was two years ago now wasn't it?

No,
We haven't even been here two years. EDIT: Oh shit wait it's 2014 now... Okay but it was still half a month ago. (it was in June :P)
Also I'm seriously considering changing my vote for best member... Though I may regret doing it too.

also if we'll be doing this next year, would it be possible for users to add more catagories if they have a enough people supporting the catagory idea?
e.g. "awesome member but I'm not sure if I'm scared to meet him in real life award"

[Assasin-Kiashi]

RESLUTS:

I see what you did there. ;;;;;;;;;;)

voting for categories seems a little too meta

[Hatninja]

Most non-existant member:

[Bonko]

He certainly was a runaway candidate.

[Polybius]

These votes are rigged!!
. . . coincidentally that guy also won “Guy with the least votes” and “Best user-name”.

Also, don`t vote for me, because this isn`t reverse psychology.

[OrbitalBlueprint]

HugoBDesigner for best artist. I just love his art style :D

[HugoBDesigner]

Wow! Kind of... um... unexpected...
But thank you!

Anyway, would voting on "Stabyourself Awards 2013" as best topic be paradoxical?

[Camewel]

HugoBDesigner for best artist. I just love his art style :D

Don't post votes in this topic!

[B-Man99]

Also, don`t vote for me, because this isn`t reverse psychology.

This is completely off topic but those apostrophes look different and I can't figure out why|
Aha! There's more space... What in the world?

[Doormat]

Aha! There's more space... What in the world?

those are backticks
some people with certain keyboards use those instead of apostrophes because they don't know where the apostrophe is or something

[BobTheLawyer]

HugoBDesigner for best artist. I just love his art style :D

Don't post votes in this topic!

Not neccessarily a vote. Looks more like propaganda to me.

[Sky]

And thus the line is blurred once more.

[BobTheLawyer]

I've still been waiting for Camewel to clarify it the first time.

[idiot9.0]

If you needed it clarified then you probably shouldn't have posted it.

[BobTheLawyer]

Posted what?
My questioning of his rule and prompting clarification?

[Camewel]

i hate these
BLURRED LINES!
you know kiashi
hey hey hey

to actually answer the question I don't care what you post but I won't be counting any votes posted in this topic, only ones in PMs

[Polybius]

@B-man: My keyboard doesn`t have apostraphe, so I use back ticks. When I have time I copy an apostraphe or use an alt + code and type regularly. My keyboard is Russian, but I have it set to English, and when its set to English all the keys get jumbled and suddenly, the symbols dont do what they should. sorry if it kills people with OCD or something.

When is voting closed btw?

[Camewel]

You have until 6PM GMT on the 7th January 2014 to submit your votes.

honestly do you people even read the first post

[Camewel]

RESULTS
In order to keep the descriptions logical, I'll only mention people with 2 or more votes in a category.


USER AWARDS

Best User
A very close category, but the winner, with 6 votes, was idiot9.0, just beating Jorichi with 5. Maurice came third with 2 votes.

Most Likeable
Jorichi had a runaway victory here with a whole 7 votes. Tied 2nd were idiot9.0 and B-Man99, who both got 2 votes.

Best Coder
The obvious choice would seem to be Maurice, and while he was close, Alesan gained 5 votes here, taking the title. Maurice was stuck in 2nd with Hugo, who both had 4 votes. Qcode took 4th with just 3.

Best Artist
Another runaway victory for Jorichi, getting 8 votes, beating idiot's 2nd place with 5 votes, and poor Kiashi who only got 3, despite his sexy campaining.

Funniest User
Maurice takes his first win, with 4 votes, beating the other most likely winner, idiot, by just one vote. Saso gaines just 2 votes here.

Most Intelligent User
I'm flattered, I got 6 votes and won this one. Qcode came second with 2 votes.

Brutal Honesty Award
Idiot, with his constant smackdowns of various trolls, stole the win with 6 votes. I got second with 3, and Qcode took third with 2 votes.

Most Potential
This one was very close, with 5 users all within a vote of each other. The end winner was HugoBDesigner, with 3 votes, and the supertie that is 2nd goes to Jorichi, Jony, Qcode and Alesan.


SECRET USER AWARDS
Yes, there's more. These awards are given for special criteria.

Gotta Go Fast (first vote)
Firaga managed to vote just over an hour after the topic went up, quickly followed by qwertyman and Hugo in the following hour.

Voter++ (nicest vote message)
Jorichi wins this one by giving a good explanation for each vote cast. Although entirely unnecessary, it's a nice touch.

Egotistical (attempting to vote for yourself)
Wiloking wins this one, by attempting to vote for himself in every category. Needless to say, those votes didn't count.

Popularity Contest (get the most total votes)
Closer than you might think, Jorichi won this one with 24, just edging past idiot's 23. Maurice and I both got 12.

SUPER WINNER (get the most awards)
Jorichi got 4 awards, so here's his 5th. HAPPY WIN JORICHI.


CREATION AWARDS

Best Game on the Forum
Renhoek's "Idiot's Rampage" won this one, with 3 votes. Tied for second was "Turtle: Puzzles", and for whatever reason, my "Carress idiot's face: the game", which both got 2 votes.

Best Map on the Forum
Hans's Mad Science won this one with 5 votes, while WillWare's Gravitas got 2nd with only 3 votes.

Best Mod on the Forum
With the most votes of anything in any category, the winner was Alesan's amazing entites mod, with an amazing 10 votes. 2nd place goes to Hugo's very pretty Mari0 + Portal, which got 4 votes (I'm not too sure of the technical details of these two mods, but would they be compatible together?)

Best Topic on the Forum
Unsurprisingly, the Chat Room won this one, with 7 votes. 2nd place was this excellent topic from the Mari0 forum.

Best Post on the Forum
3 votes, no explanation.


Well, that's all the awards for this year. Congrats to everyone who won!

[Mari0Maker]

Congrats to the winners! I enjoyed seeing the results.

[MM102]

Congrats!
And while both M+P and Alesan's Entities are both awesome
I voted for Alesan because it's the more stable mod at the moment
but if Hugo's editor was just a little less lot less buggy I might have voted for him :)

[Hatninja]

Not a big surprise, congratulations guys!
and my mail still hasn't come...

[BobTheLawyer]

So happy to have influenced the best post winner! :)
Makes me feel like a winner.

[HugoBDesigner]

Those was a pretty good competition, I must say! Thanks for the votes on "Most potential", guys xD

And thanks for the second place on "Best mod" too! I actually knew Alesan would win, 'cause his mod is just awesome (it's almost an entire Mari0 SE). I was going to vote on him, but I thought it'd be a little strange in the votes counting!

And I knew Hans would win the best mappack! You deserved, man! of course I voted on him :)

Congrats to everyone else too!

[HansAgain]

of course I voted on him :)

A lot of thanks for everybody who voted for my mappack!

of course I voted on him :)

I voted for your mod, because it's awesome, but i voted for Alesan as the best coder, accept that he does his mod less buggy.
Also, congratulations for everyone.

(<) I'm so happy right now!

[rokit]

shit voting shit thread shit forum
was tom hanks not enough to vote for me

[JPthisismefag]

Guess I'll have to stab you all now

[Jorichi]

Oh wow, I'm flattered. Thanks guys!
Also Congratulations to all the other winners, you deserved it!
(although I have a feeling these awards are rigged)

[Trist3D]

Aw, I didn't win anything.
Oh well, I'm gonna go eat a Hot Pocket.

[Bonko]

Do you have the total user vote counts, like you posted last year?

[Camewel]

Oh wow, I'm flattered. Thanks guys!
Also Congratulations to all the other winners, you deserved it!
(although I have a feeling these awards are rigged)

I could show you the vote sheet but you know confidentiality and all.

Do you have the total user vote counts, like you posted last year?

I was going to, but I felt mean having a load of people with ones next to them, and even more people who didn't get voted in anything.

[Assasin-Kiashi]

d'aw syad face... my campaign didn't work...
Congratulations to everyone else who won though!

[Wilo]

Fuck yeah, egotistical!
Also, congratulations to everyone!

[renhoek]

Did I win the game award because it was genuinely good or was it because it stars idiot and Kiashi :P

Honestly I didn't expect that, I thought everyone forgot about it so I'm very thankful,
I know I haven't updated in a while, but I promise updates are coming soon.

[BobTheLawyer]

Just played it for the first time today (don't know why I never did earlier)
It's amazing! How the enemies interacted were amazing.
Was Kiashi in the demo?

[popcan12]

Yeah, you just had to do some secret stuff in order to get a character selection screen containing Kiashi, Idiot 9.0 and idiot 9.0.1.


 That's a lie. This is a real screenshot from the actual game but it's a newer version.Speaking of which, I hope Idiot Rampage get's updated soon. You are talking about Idiot Rampage, right? 

[Qcode]

...

[popcan12]

Yeah, it's awesome to all the winners and runner-ups who got into a category. This truely marks how great the stabyourself community really is.

[B-Man99]

YES SPOOKY SCARY SKELETONS GOT THE WIN
Okay, seriously, congratulations all. I'm very pleased with how this turned out. 2014, a new year, a nice beginning by remembering the past
Or whatever other weird crap I can say to make this post (mainly concerning my excitement over Spooky Scary Skeletons) worth writing
Oh screw it
*Spooky scary skeletons send shivers down your spine
Shrieking souls will shock your soul
Seal your doom tonight*
(Who's got the next 3 lines?)

Also thanks for thevotes for most likeable. In my opinion most of the people on here are really likeable, so I had a really hard time with that one! :)

[TurretBot]

Oh wow, I'm flattered. Thanks guys!
Also Congratulations to all the other winners, you deserved it!
(although I have a feeling these awards are rigged)

Time for the results!
14 people voted, 5 people revoted, only 11 can win. People with just one vote aren't listed. And the winners are...

Best User: Jorichi, with 3 votes.
Jorichi was the only person with more than one vote in this category, there are 10 other people with just one vote.

Most Likeable User: Kyle Prior, with 4 votes.
A somewhat surprising win, Kyle, despite not having come here in a while, won. Some people aren't forgotten so easily.
BobTheLawyer, Jorichi and LightningFire each received 2 votes, leaving them all tied for 2nd.

Best Coder: Maurice, with 7 votes.
A somewhat expected win with a somewhat expected margin. Turtle came second with 4 votes.

Best Artist: Jorichi, with 5 votes.
This category was initially rather close, but Jorichi managed to pull up a rather impressive lead.
idiot9.0 and MrCytosine each received 2 votes.

Funniest User: Maurice, with 4 votes.
Somewhat expected, but Turret Opera receiving 2 votes wasn't so. I guess some people do find him funny.

Most Intelligent User: Saso, with 3 votes. (+2 from the revote)
I never expected to gain 3 votes in this category, Saso seems like a more obvious choice.
idiot9.0 gained 2 votes, leaving him in 3rd.

Brutal Honesty Award: Saso, with 5 votes.
Another expected win with an expected margin, idiot9.0 came in second with 2 votes.

Most Potential: idiot9.0, with 2 votes. (+5 from the revote)
This category was very thin-spread, with 9 different nominees. SuperJustinBros didn't get any revotes, leaving him with only 2 votes total.

Best Game on the Forums: Turtle: Puzzles, with 5 votes.
Slime's Snayke was winning on Friday night, 3 votes to 2, but come 17:00, three more votes had come in for Turtle95's game, leaving him with the win.
Lawnboy's Pokemon game got 2 votes.

Best Mappack on the Forums: A0zora, with 4 votes.
As I don't visit the mapping forums much, this was an unexpected win for me. I wasn't aware anything had topped 0'Brothers, which gained only 3 votes.

Best Mod on the Forums: Extra Entities, with 4 votes.
Another win for a Turtle95 production. The Better Level Editor mod also got 2 votes.

RESULTS
In order to keep the descriptions logical, I'll only mention people with 2 or more votes in a category.

Well, that's all the awards for this year. Congrats to everyone who won!

All of the user awards are either the same or close to being so, except Kyle Prior as most likeable.
(The spoiler is the previous awards so you can see for yourself.)

[BobTheLawyer]

Kyle Prior would probably keep the prize if he had stayed around.

[HansAgain]

Kyle Prior would probably keep the prize if he had stayed around.

You made me miss a lot of old users. Bonjour, mr.game.and.watch14, trosh, etc.

[B-Man99]

I'm pretty sure the only votes I could have gotten were from steam friends anyway, because I really don't show my personality as much around here as I do with the people on steam who I talk to regularly.
Dang, it's been a year since Snayke came out? I got that one right away, still one of my faves. I'd recommend that game to any of you who haven't already tried it. Wow! Surprised it didn't win in 2012.

You made me miss a lot of old users.

You reminds me that I missed a lot of old users. I wonder what happened to some of them. Too bad I wasn't active when I first came on these forums.

[Sky]

You made me miss a lot of old users.

You reminds me that I missed a lot of old users. I wonder what happened to some of them. Too bad I wasn't active when I first came on these forums.

But we have a lot of new users, and that sort of balances things out.

[Camewel]

All of the user awards are either the same or close to being so, except Kyle Prior as most likeable.

Of the 8, only 2 are the same (best artist and funniest).
Of the remaining 6, in 4 of them (this is half for those of you on the slow bus), the previous winner didn't even rank in this year's results.
Wouldn't call that "the same or close" really.

[Polybius]

I didn`t know who to vote for, so i didn`t vote. I`m not egotistical, so I didn`t vote for myself either. I recognize most of your guys` abilities some better than others, but to be honest, you guys are all great. My appreciation to all those who won, participated, and voted.

[LightningFire]

Congratulations to all the winners!
