ASB Awards! - Nomination Topic

[Greyfox]

Alright everyone, here are this year's categories for the ASB Awards. As for the rules:

• One nomination per award per person.
  
  • If someone or something has already been nominated, please refrain from nominating them again. This is so we don't have any redundancies.
  • Be classy. Don't nominate yourself.
    
  
  
• Nominations for Best Battle, Safari Zone Quest, Catch, Customized Pokémon, etc. need to have links provided so everyone can know what they're voting for. If there's not a link, then the nomination won't be considered.
  
• Keep the nominations recent. I know we haven't had an awards thread in awhile, but try to make your nominations are more recent (from 2010 - present).
• This thread will remain open until August 1st.

[BTPoke]

Ok, I think most of us will agree with me when I nominate Oslo for Best Safari Zone Referee (even though he's presently not here)

Reasoning:
-Sent Grey into a dream that sent him into the world that is the Gen 1 pokemon games

Even finding/creating sprites of pokemon without EYES

-Created an epic Mario Crossover in Cynder's adventcha!


how can you say that this isn't absolutely hilarious? xD

well, I kind of misunderstood the one nomination per award per person reward, as I thought it meant I could make only one nomination xD
In that case, I'm gonna make more once I think of them

Best Pokemon Nomination: RL's Hanzo for
1) taking up to 15 damage from toxic (liek a baws)
2a)this
2b)taking down a nominee in one shot xD

Best Battler Nomination: DL

Now I feel I should do this in proper format (+ maybe adding some later)

I'll update when I've had a better chance to go through some old threads.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

One nomination per award per person? No good. Certain award might have only one nomination and that results either in an auto-victory or forgetting about the award completely. That's why I think one should be able to make more than one nomination per award, for diversity.

And this is also why I ask:

When will the nominations close? I won't post my nominations until the deadline because only then I will be able to come up with names nobody else has come up yet.

Will finish later...kinda hard to fill out everything with the restrictions Grey

[Greyfox]

Restrictions?

I only restricted people from nominating the same person so we wouldn't have redundancies (just so we don't have people nominating Oslo over and over again for referee) -- but you can multiple battles and quests that he happens to be in or pokémon on his team if you'd like. I thought I was clear on that one.

And not nominating yourself is pretty self-explanatory.

[Greyfox]

Only four days left to nominate, everyone! Let's keep 'em coming, aye?

[DarkestLight]

Best Battler: Wolfsong. Unsung heroine of ASB she is :O
Best Ref: How is Greyfox not on this list?
Best SZ catch: Yeah, I'm gonna nominate the obtaining of Ayeun's Celebi
Best Combo: Maternal Mayhem (used by MLG vs Oslo-Gym matchup)
Best Quote: Oy quotes are hard to come by, but I recall one...
"> TEAM DARKESTLIGHT to release next AND HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO PICK A GHOST I HAVE DECIDED" From the Metronome Melee. Hilarious. The whole battle is a damn funny sexpot, but ugh that line onward had me in tears.

[Rossymore]

And yet you still chose a ghost regardless, so that quote's getting revoked, bitch.

Ah what do I care? That match was great fun. And I'll put my contribution of Best Ref as Darkest, reffing many a battle in his lifetime.

And best veteran trainer I would like to vote MLG, as that guy just wins battles this way and that. I think I've lost to him six times and the majority of matches I've reffed of him (quite the number) he seems to win those too.

Also, most missed, add Houndoom_Lover. I miss her dammit!

[BTPoke]

has MLG been absent long enough to be nominated for most missed? xD

Anyway, nominating Rossy for most creative. He's just got that special kind of crazy, you know?
Also nominating Falconzord for best custom pokemon

[Rossymore]

I'm not crazy!

Clefairy says so!

[Ash0011]

I'm not crazy!

Clefairy says so!

alright here's my best quote

[Perfect Chaos]

I'm not crazy!

Clefairy says so!

Think again candyass

[Ash0011]

!yzarc ton m'I

!os syas yriafelC

nvm new best quote!!!

[Rossymore]

Excellent, my plan is working! Mwahahaha!

But seriously, call help. I'm going insane.

[BTPoke]

Here's a link for a youtube shrink. I think you could really use it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

[Rossymore]

"This video contains content from Channel 5 and WMG, one or more of whom have blocked it in your country on copyright grounds."



ANYWAY, one day left to nominate people. GO, GO, GO.

[DarkestLight]

• This thread will remain open until August 1st.
  

o.O 1 day say what?

[BTPoke]

yeah, there are actually 2-3 days left.

and DAMN! That video was supposed to be a rick roll T_T

[Rossymore]

Well for me it's the first, the deadline. Yesterday was the day before the deadline, ergo, one day left.

And a shame that was not a Rickroll, I quite enjoy that song.

[BTPoke]

I know, right? It's a great song!

[DarkestLight]

How the fuck was yesterday one day before when july has 31 days and its the 29th today here...making it the 30th there?

[Rossymore]

Ohhhh, that's right, I've been changing the clock for my White 2 Rom. I thought it was Wednesday. My apologies.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Hello. Best Quote is under 'Battles and Contests'. Can't I nominate something said in The Sloppy Skuntank B&B [Chat Thread]?

[Perfect Chaos]

I say go for it Mikachu shouldn't be any harm in doing so.

Speaking of which, I need to go post there again

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Best Battle
Mystic_clown vs Asilynne
(Ref: EraGam)
This needs to progress! They have battled before, but this time they really are a couple.

Best Contest
Bluster Contest
I think you missed this fine contest when nominating.

Best Battler
Rossymore
Too many mods or ex-mods come to my mind, let's give the newer blood some chance. I intended to go with Wolfsong first, though.

Best Coordinator
BTPoke
Active as hell.

Best Referee
Mew Master
If only he had time to ref more often currently.

Best Judge
Oslo
See, now we have another name!

Best Arena
Testing Room
Who could refuse from an offer to battle somewhere involving Legendaries?

Best Safari Zone Referee
Cynder
Now I've never been to Safari Zone, but let's throw this name here.

Best Pokemon
Loki Black
(MeLoVeGhOsTs's Sneasel)
There must be a reason why he doesn't throw this Pokemon into The Pasture Zone.

Best Nickname
Otohime
(Mew Master's Milotic)
I think Mew Master has a nice pattern in his namings. It was tough to pick from those 'mon.

Most Generous Trainer
Blademaster
He may seem and be tough, but never forgets to gift his friends under the trees.

Best Newcomer
Skye
Rivals BTPoke.

Best Veteran
DarkestLight
Doesn't he already have this status?

Most missed
Knight of Time
He has a horde of great Pokemon, really would like to see him back.

Most Creative
Cynder
Just look at that spriting work.

Best Quote

IN THE CHAT THREAD
i know that the world is NOT going to end in 2012 because Marty McFly travelled to 2015

I'm done, I skipped some because I run out of ideas, sort of.

[Greyfox]

Alright -- every nomination has been edited into the main thread, except for Mika's quote -- I can't credit that to Ayeun since it's a meme.

Anyway, 24 hours until the thread closes; everyone throw out your last-minute nominations!

[BTPoke]

Just one more from me

Best SZ catch: Kyogre by Oslo. It kind of had an air of epicness while I was reading it, I guess.

[Greyfox]

Finally! A nod in that category that isn't reffed by Oslo!

[DarkestLight]

Its kinda hard when he scoring all the refs. But oh Best Arena: the Taboo room, by GREEN LANTURN WHO IN TURN IS now entered into most missed aside Phoenixsong fuck I can only pick one u.u. ok ok ok gl. But the room of taboo was a super fave, it was the one where after every round, a letter was removed, so you could not use attacks with that letter in its makeup anymore.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

I hope I'm not too late, but if I can't nominate the meme posted by Ayuen, let's go with something from Blademaster, then?

In the anime, though, poor Beedrill is basically the posterchild for asshole Pokemon. It doesn't matter if the thing has been with you for 50 years and saved your life 4 times. It doesn't matter if it was a cute little squirmy worm a week ago. It doesn't matter if the Goddamn thing runs a multi-million Pokedollar charity, blood drive, AND soup kitchen. If it's a Beedrill, the anime Universe decrees it to be a constantly pissed-off mindless murder machine that wants nothing more than to call its 800 equally pissed-off friends over so they can all shove their three stingers into every hole you have, and then subsequently make more holes, until there's nothing left but a shredded corpse full of blood and honey.
