RSC Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) It's that time of year again, folks! The 2012 NJDevs.com Board Awards are officially here to save you from the off-season doldrums. The Awards will be run by myself for the fourth year along with Martyisth3b3st back on board for his second go-around. In case this is your first go around with the Board Awards or you haven't crawled into your usual annual summer hole yet, let me explain exactly how it works. As you can see, Awards are in groups of 3, except for the last 3. Each award has a nomination thread, in which you may nominate up to 3 NJDevs members for the award. After 3 days, the nomination thread closes, and the top 3 (or more if there are people tied) nominees are put into a poll, for which there are 3 days to vote. At the end of 3 days, the person with the most votes wins the award! As a reminder, these are supposed to be FUN. Don't try and push people to nominate or vote for you. If there are any problems, feel free to PM me. At the moment, we are planning the first round of polls to be up Tuesday or Wednesday. In the mean time, feel free to discuss awards that you feel should be added, changed, gotten rid of, etc. Keep in mind that the Board Awards are supposed to reward positive contributions to NJDevs, so as much fun as a "Most Entitled Doucher Award" would be, it's not going to happen. Finally, we're adding a little more to the reward aspect of the board awards. MB3 is currently whipping up a nifty batch of avatars (or sigs, I can't remember) for the winners of the awards. He should have a mockup of one or two of them ready some time tonight. We also may change the title of the users who win under their avatar, if DM decides to go that route. This year's awards should be a hell of a lot more fun than last year's, considering we went from April boredom to one of the most fun playoff runs any of us can remember. Enjoy, folks! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INITIAL BOARD AWARDS LIST: The Scott Bertoli Award for Best Minor League Poster - WINNER: thefiestygoat The MrtheMike Chat Award for Best Chatter - WINNER: Devilminder The Andy Greene Award for Most Improved Poster - WINNER: Zubie #8 The Glenn "Chico" Resch Award for Best Use of Smileys - WINNER: Pepperkorn The John Madden Award for Most Missed Poster - WINNER: MantaRay The Hobey Baker Award for Best Rookie Poster - WINNER: Chuck the Duck The Lady Byng Award for Nicest Poster - WINNER: MicrowavePizza The Sergei Brylin Award for Most Underrated Poster - WINNERS: thelastonealive AND zerogravityfat The Slava Fetisov Award for the Best Foreign Poster - WINNER: Jas0nMacIssac The Pat Burns Award for the Most Emotional Poster -WINNER: MadDog2020 The Mike "Doc" Emrick Award for the Most Knowledgeable Poster - WINNER: Jas0nMacIssac The Bobby Holik Award for Funniest Poster - WINNER: DaneykoIsGod The Bill Masterton Award for Dedication to the Team The UnderdogX Signature Award for Best Signature The RD Avatar Award for Best Avatar The Conn Smythe Trophy for Best Poster-Playoffs The Hart Trophy for Best Poster - Regular Season The NJDevs.com MVP Award/Stanley Cup for Best Poster - Overall (Combo of Season, Playoffs, Off-season, Off-topic) Edited July 31, 2012 by RSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Don't forget the Richard Cranium Award which I should be getting every year hands down! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDPucks Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ilya Kovalchuk/Gordie Howe Hat Trick Award: Poster most active in Chat, Game Threads, and other threads surrounding a particular game. I'd also like to see the Foreign Poster Award split in 2: Slava Award to best non-North American Poster; Scott Neidermayer Award to best Canadian Poster.

CarpathianForest Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Everyone knows I'm the Susan Lucci of this board so I expect to get a couple nominations but no wins. Anyways, it's always who you know with the awards things. Edited June 21, 2012 by CarpathianForest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelastonealive Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I could see minor league and foreign being difficult categories to pull up enough nominations for, but that does seem to be the case every year. I also don't have a better suggestion, so I'm just gonna shut up now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'd also like to see the Foreign Poster Award split in 2: Slava Award to best non-North American Poster; Scott Neidermayer Award to best Canadian Poster. I like this idea. I also think a cool award might be something like Post Of The Year, but that'd be kinda tough to go back and find nominees. If enough people dig the idea, maybe we could set up a thread for next year's awards season where people can nominate all year long as worthy posts are made.

ZeroGravityFat Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Gotta build on my award from last year, too bad there is no rocket Richard for best gdt record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils Dose Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) The Bulletproof Post of the Year, named for what would have been last year's hands down winner: POTY 2010-11 Edit: DiG of course is right. We need a method for keeping track of this. Otherwise it will always be some "flyers suck" comment from the postseason, which obviously is very deserving, but would get boring after a few years.

grcenter47 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) i doubt i am going to be nominated for anything but have you guys every thought about using survey monkey for voting http://www.surveymonkey.com/. i thought it would be easier to just get all the nominations first and then have everyone vote one time... just a thought Edited June 22, 2012 by grcenter47 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this one a lot. Also, while Madden is my favorite player ever, Scott Stevens is the most missed Devil ever. I would change the award to him, at least until Marty retires, possibly forever. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylbert Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I think we should have the Aylbert award... given to the poster most like by Aylbert. Aylbert will win, always.

ThreeCups Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 There should definitely be a "PhillyDev Award" given to the moronic post/poster of the year.... Or maybe it should be the "PhillyDev Award" given to the poster who excels at everything, and is the best in each and everything they do...

Or maybe it should be the "PhillyDev Award" given to the poster who excels at everything, and is the best in each and everything they do... There is no award that can truely show the supreme excellence of the abilities of PhillyDev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mouse Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) As far as splitting the whole foreign poster thing, I don't really get why you would -- I never really considered Canadians "foreign" in the first place; they're closer to me than half of the states are, and, uh, we are talking about their sport here. Just my .02. I think I've always ended up making the foreign poster award European (or Oceanic, don't want to leave out damo), but I wouldn't mind it being clearer -- if we don't split, we could just treat it like the All Star Games back in the day.

Onddeck Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) Hahahaha the MVP award should definitely be the phillydev award.
