Hey, hey kids, it's that time again!
No, not time to eat a three year supply of bratwurst in protest of oven-mitts - it's time for the 3rd Annual 40KForums Awards Gala Jubilee and Bake Sale!
This was an exceptionally tough year for nominations. With the membership on our beloved site growing every day there are more and more people to choose from, so this year more than any other it truly was an honor to be nominated... But an even bigger honor to win, so let's get on with it!
Tee hee. Ha ha! *titter* LOLZERZ!!!!one!!! ROTFLSHTILABCAIPSTISMAL! (that's "rolling on the floor laughing so hard that I lost all bodily control and I'm pretty sure that I shit myself a little") These are all common side effects of visiting 40KForums (or, for that matter, of watching Paris Hilton try to do a simple algebra problem). But which one of our giggle-mongering horde is responsible for the most sore noses and coke drenched keyboards? Beating out Beefy by a single vote, it's our very own LimeKitty himself: OrkyWisdom!
Congratulations Orky, you made me slap my knee so hard that now I'll never walk again.
I defy any one of you to name a single active member of 40KForums that is not in the slightest bit weird. Go ahead - I'll wait... No, Kelidtha doesn't count because she's a girl and they're not real people... Ha! You can't, can you? That's what makes this category one of our most prestigious - because you're competing against more weirdos than you can shake a stick at - many of whom enjoy shaking sticks in their free time. If Michael Jackson were a needle, then 40KForums would be a haystack where he could hide. And then most likely be eaten. So who among us holds the lofty title of King Oddball? In a landslide, that would be our very own joking, smoking, midnight toking, Cookster!
Congratulations Cookster, here's your award. And yes, you can put hide your weed in it.
Oh no! Look what you guys have done! Who's going to clean up this mess? Our next winner, that's who! The mods on this site do not have an easy job - they are constantly defending our kingdom from Trolls, staving off the Grey Death, sheilding you from Goatse, and attending ballet recitals. (Man, that Danzig sure looks dreamy in a leotard!) But who, among these champions of the little man, is recognized as the most fearsome yet fair? Wielding his ban-hammer as though it were a scepter and always wearing his mod-hat as a crown, is the one - the only - Wardenhammer!
Congratulations Wardenhammer - the asshats fear ya, the vets love ya, and me? Well, I just wanna hump ya.
Nouw i preesent 2 u teh mozt dooby-us honour (I'm American, so 'honour' still fits with the theme here dammit!) taht wii giv owt heer ahn 40KForumzdotcom! Teh wurst speeler ahward goez 2 teh Grismund!
Congratulations Grismund, a little part of me died while writing that last paragraph, but I did it for you!
Some might forget why we're called 40KForums, and rightfully so, the Wastes and Off-Topic get the most traffic. I myself have not played a game of Warhammer in almost a year. But, ravings about pie and pointless annual awards shows aside, we are actually a Warhammer 40K community. And there are a few members who not only remember that - they embody it. Maybe they constantly share with us their remarkable painting skills, maybe they are fluff meisters, or rules lawyers, or maybe they're just founts of knowledge, the likes of which make us all better players and perhaps, even better people. So whom did we choose to honor this year? Well, that would be the amazingly on-topic, and the spectacularly un-spamming, Durendin!
Congratulations Durendin, you've touched our minds as well as our hearts. Now we'll have to get you liquored up so we can do some touching of our own.
And last, but most definitely not least, is our category of friendship, of camaraderie, and of love. Love, not of the hot and squishy variety, but of the warm, firm variety. Life is full of flowers and sausages when dealing with these two. Yes, I said two. For the first time in 40KForums Awards history, we don't have a Most Beloved Member, but rather two Most Beloved Members! Of all the members on the forums, you voted that these two would be the ones you most want to have a beer with (or have babies with): Spruecutter and The Grand Beef!
Congratulations Sprue, you deserve a great big hug and a brand new viking hat!
Congratulations Beefy, everybody loves you. And if you don't believe me, just check your signature!
That concludes the awards for this year. Hey, maybe next year they'll actually be held on time instead of a few months late! One can always hope.
