The Official Smart Marks Awards

[Guest Kinetic]

That's right, it's the one and only One and Only Official Smart Marks Awards thread. This is your chance to vote for the posters, threads, writers, and columns that tickled your funny bone or made you weep uncontrollably. Send all ballots to me via PM; the results will be posted on the main page no later than Friday evening, so make sure to rock the vote at some point within that time period. Let's go:

 

POSTER OF THE YEAR AWARD

 

The most important and prestigious award of them all. Who made the most consisently thought-provoking points? Who brought the funny day in and day out? Who would you consider to be heads and shoulders above all other posters in terms of their ability to bring validity to a thread by virtue of their presence? Who's most deserving of an award whose acronym is just a mere letter shy of "potty?" You tell me.

 

THREAD OF THE YEAR AWARD

 

Many threads are started here on a daily basis but only a select few are elevated to "megathread" status. Which of these threads did you enjoy the most? Which thread brought you the most pleasure to read? You tell me.

 

GIMMICK POSTER OF THE YEAR AWARD

 

Many gimmick posters staked their claim to the Smart Marks board over the last year. Which would you consider to be the pinnacle of all things gimmicky? You tell me.

 

MOST ANNOYING BOARD TREND

 

Every now and then, a trend is born on this board that encompasses an entire folder or even a group of them. Which of these enraged you the most? You tell me.

 

BEST FEMALE POSTER

 

On a board where the phrase "bitches be trippin'" has become something of a motto, it takes a special brand of girl to dare to become a regular. Which of these brave souls impressed you the most this year? You tell me.

 

MOST OBNOXIOUS TROLL

 

You know them and they know you. They're trolls and they desire nothing more than to ruin your board and eat your bones. Which of these dastardly no-goodniks raised your ire the most this year? You tell me.

 

BEST WRITER ON THE SMART MARKS

 

Many distinguished journalists write for thesmartmarks.com, myself included. Which of these writers would you consider to be the best and most entertaining, if not the most prolific? You tell me.

 

BEST ARTICLE ON THE SMART MARKS

 

Which single piece of literature posted to the site would you consider to be the best? This can include TV reports, tape reviews, album reviews, pointless drivel about Britney Spears, or what have you. You tell me.

 

Rock the vote.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

Poster of the Year: Myself, for my dynamic ability to make you all stand up and take notice of me despite being a non-Smarks Era guy.

 

Thread of the Year: Ask the Dictator! Disagree and the Party's stormtroopers will be outside of your house in minutes.

 

Gimmick Poster of the Year: Metal Ed. I haven't seen mentions of the ROCK BOX~! in a while, but he still brings the funny.

 

Most Annoying Board Trend: Fo sheez. By a mile.

 

Best Female Poster: Annie Eclectic, as she's annoyed me the least.

 

Most Obnoxious Troll: Alina. I almost went for the two Communists who offended me greatly, but since they've stayed away and Alina came back, she wins.

 

Best Writer: Damian Gonzalez. PPV and NWA recaps are GOLD, yo.

 

Best Article: Tough Enough III recaps, for they bring the funny and the content. By the way, sorry about this week's being really late, but Thanksgiving weekend brought a very erratic schedule.

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest Kinetic]

Please PM all ballots to Kinetic. Foo'.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

I want people to know what I thought, as the State part was neccessary to be seen.

 

Do people want stormtroopers at their houses? I THINK NOT.

 

Also, people will inevitably ask who voted for what, so I might as well make my picks public.

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest Kinetic]

I'm adding two categories:

 

Worst Poster of the Year

 

Worst Thread of the Year

 

If you've already voted and you'd like to vote in those categories, PM me again. If you haven't voted and you have an opinion on those things, include them in your ballot.

 

I'd also like to amend this by prohibiting people from voting for themselves in the Poster of the Year category. It's shameless.

[Guest Sandman9000]

Can we vote for ourselves in the worst poster of the year category?

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

There, I fixed my votes in the PM. Happy?

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest The Amazing Rando]

darn....there is absolutely no category there that I even have a chance of winning.....oh well....

 

I'm still a Mike Sanders Pony Mark....so I can be proud of that...

[Guest Kinetic]

You can vote for yourself in worst poster, yes. And I urge everyone to do so. I've only gotten three sets of votes (countless PMs, though, due to certain indecisive people changing their minds). Tell you what: Each voter gets a cookie and a cup of orange juice on the house.

[Guest Kotzenjunge]

(demands his cookie and juice)

 

NOW!!!

 

Fo sheez,

Kotzenjunge

[Guest LooseCannon]

I'm not indecisive. I'm METICULOUS~!

[Guest Big Poppa Popick]

Where's the Ban Agnes option?

[Guest bob_barron]

I voted!!!!

[Guest Banky]

I hope I get nominated for SOMETHING!

 

I am cool, remember?

[Guest papacita]

Vote for me or you're next!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Guest Flyboy]

*wonders will he or CWM get post whore of the year*

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Alina's back?

 

Oh... I should probably vote, or something... later I guess.

[Guest LooseCannon]

Julio Fantastico. I think she's been banned again though.

[Guest bob_barron]

Yep- Alina got banned again

[Guest evenflowDDT]

Oh. Well, she DID want to be banned, so I guess she shouldn't really complain. How weird.

[Guest bob_barron]

Well Alina claimed to be Smarkzone or something or whatever- me so confused

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

After much deliberation, I've finally settled on my votes. I'm hoping a comprehensive TSM scoreboard of goodness gets posted showing how many nominations people got for crap.

[Guest Incandenza]

Well Alina claimed to be Smarkzone or something or whatever- me so confused

Actually, she never claimed to be Smarkzone. She just said she was Anglesalt (no 'u') and Testkick. She only said it to provoke.

 

As Julio, Alina actually made LOGICAL arguments. She was either getting help from a secret source, or all the truth distortion of her crazy period was an act.

[Guest razazteca]

what no La Parka option?

[Guest Kinetic]

There are some tight races right now. Best Poster is led by someone with TWO votes and there are about six other people with one vote. It could get ugly. Worst Poster is neck-and-neck between an obvious decision and a certain advice-spewing someone that a lot of people harbor resentment towards. It'll be interesting to see how these things pan out. So, uh...vote and stuff.

 

Oh...Best Gimmick Poster is in the bag, of course.

[Guest J*ingus]

::rocks vote::

 

I'd be interested in seeing the complete vote tallies afterwards, Kin, in secret of course (mwahaha).

[Guest Kinetic]

Can do. A lot of the votes seemed to be based on bad blood and personal rivalries. The one thing that confuses me is how I'm not winning any of these. You people are a bunch of ingrates.

[Guest bob_barron]

Can I also see said vote totals when Jingus is done?

[Guest LooseCannon]

I'd be interested in seeing the complete vote tallies afterwards, Kin, in secret of course (mwahaha).

 

Wait, you will publish the final tallies right? You don't have to say who voted for what, that would be a pain, but you'll publish how many votes everyone got right? Otherwise lemme know in secret too.

 

I think I've got a shot at most obnoxious troll.

[Guest Spaceman Spiff]

Screw this secret stuff, just post the results.
