Title: Results of the 2013 Combo-Fanning Season
Post by: WonderMeal on September 02, 2013, 09:16:53 PM
I know these awards should have been given out before Friday night's debacle, but the Combo-Fanning Judges spent all weekend holed up in a secret location to come up with what you see below. Sorry if you didn't make the list this season, or if you made a list you didn't want to. Just keep following the 16 goals, and maybe you'll get there next year. If you'd like to file an appeal, please do so with the judges.

NOTE #1: These are not the CSourky's, nor are they trying to be. These are more like the Golden Globes of gE.c.

NOTE #2a: These awards are given for a poster's overall performance during Combo-Fanning season, not necessarily for their work on the Combo-Fanning board exclusively.

NOTE #2b: I like a lot of posters that didn't make the list. Don't be offended if you're not on here. (Pete comes to mind.)

NOTE #3: I don't read the basketball board because #BID. Sorry (not really, though) if I missed something good. (I didn't.)


TOP FIVE
1) Dlew: Solid poster all around, then really sealed the deal with #SWP. I still believe it can happen, Dlew.
2) Felix Rex: putting his life on the line for our country and our board. Also, giving us yokels a little bit of world affairs knowledge. Married extremely well.
3) DGale: breaking news for gE.c on the daily.
4) Daris: strongest performance of the Tier I Mod Group
5) Ben ji/AST: I really enjoyed their work in the Fishing and BBQ threads, respectively. Both of them are really adorable. (An argument could be made to stick someone from the HM group here, but the judges wanted to give people some recognition specifically for their combo-fanning work.)

HONORABLE MENTION (in no particular order):
-Saul: went from run-of-the-mill lazy Topeka IT guy until he gave us the Star Trek avatars. Great work, Saul. A hail mary that really worked out.
-Blackcats: scoops!
-a visitor and Funruh: I want Funruh to post more in non-RP-related threads. I also want him to make more threads about RP and post in those, too.
-SkinnyBenny: really putting in work on the music side of things.
-Jakesie & Tobias: Good overall posters, both of them putting in good work on the BB page.
-=Mods?=: I have such a soft spot for =Mods?=. Not sure why.
-GoodForAnother: really growing as a poster on this board, despite RD's PI-ing.
-MiR and Mrs. Gooch: represent their respective BBS minority groups extremely well.
-steve dave (but only if he's the mod who added the new emoticons)
-Whichever poster has a Battlestar Galactica avatar. A solid joke that shouldn't go unnoticed.

BOTTOM FIVE:
1) People who respond to Timhawk
2) Timhawk (not because he's KU, I'm totally :TSC:, but because he's the worst.)
3) K.B. K-S-U-Wildcats: lots of things to point to, but his endless/blind defense of GZ is what lands him here.
4) Bookie Pimp: Woof
5) Frankenklein: Woof
 
DISHONORABLE MENTION:
-Scottwildcat: Woof, but not as woof as the five above.
-WackyCat: normally I don't mind you, Wacky, but your recent touchiness and feuds with KC, Rusty, and OKCat have led to a pretty long slump for you. Keep sawing logs/rowing boat/etc and I know you'll get off this list pretty quick.


PUTTING OUT AN APB FOR:
-'Hatter--when are we going to hear more about hips and motor and stuff?
-ManBearPig--need more offensive/defensive line info. plz.
-pissclams--would have included you somewhere on this list, but I'm still waiting to see if my All Team Burner bets are going to make me any money this year.
-Trim--is he even a member anymore?
-KatKid--sheesh he has one kid and thinks he doesn't have time to BBS anymore.
-_FAN--I know you are back now that football is here, but I would love to see 2014 become Combo-_FANning season.

Yeah, Dlew is great but he's starting to slip into posting mainly emotes instead of words. At least in the last two threads. Keep in mind that you are #1 in the Fake C'Sourkys, Dlew. And #1 in my heart. The pen is your best posting weapon, deploy it often and let everyone know who's boss.

The Judges meant to put out an APB for you, since you were just letting Puniraptor hang on his fantastically-titled thread. However, you appear to have beaten  :zzz: :zzz: :zzz: for now, so you're good.

Also, two updates:
1) I am usually The Judges are typically very fond of Mr. Bread's work and will now be accepting submissions for his inclusion to the Honorable Mention list.
2) Steve Dave is a Tier I mod poster, but if it was Rick Daris that added all these emoticons, his addition to the HM list will also be under review.

Please present your case for the addition or removal of these two posters to/from the HM list.

I would like to say that Ok Cat, KC, and MC get away with murder around here. So most posters kiss their ass to stay off their radar. I think it's good to have a poster that challenges them and doesn't limp up to them like a scared puppy. I should be taken off the list. It's pretty apparent.

Yeah, that is a surprising take on the collective status of OK Cat, KC and rusty on gE.com.  I would not have come up with that.  In fact, I have seen a number of instances where posters that were not fanning were very mean to them respectively.  I sort of like that he sees it this way.  Of course he may be trolling, but with WS08 it's almost impossible to be sure.

That's also where I learned that FSD didn't name himself FSD (I think), which makes a lot of sense in hindsight.

I'm not sure if FelixRex is protesting that he was second place and not first, or if he's dancing Opa Morsi Style because he's Top 2.
