You should all be that excited.
Also no one said I couldn't use gifs.

Greeting fair people of PXR. Here you see the discussion thread for Member of the Year for 2014. Yes this is what this discussion thread will solely be about. Discussing. Anyway, the actual voting will take place in this (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?4728-Member-Of-The-Year!-2014) thread, so be sure to make your actual votes there. Not here. Nope, discussing only here. Well no this isn't the only place to discuss this topic, but only the discussing of this topic will be the topic to discuss in this thread. Confused? Good my work here is don--oh okay fine I'll put it more clearly.


The PXR rules apply of course.
Please stay on topic for discussing the MotY 2014.
Please only discuss who could be nominated for a particular category, not who shouldn't. We like positive feedback, and any mentioning of how someone shouldn't be nominated will be handled with appropriately. You don't want any of this Sabifury.
The above also applies to suggesting new categories; make sure they are appropriate and positive.
Be respectful to others and share your thoughts on social media!


Wait what was that last part? Yep. Social Media is a thing, and it's happening. Share all the details on your various Social Media accounts to draw in the crowds and get more people to vote! And no, taking over servers to get more people to vote for you is not what we're talking about. I know some of you were thinking about it, don't lie.

Disclaimer: All Monster, Spell/Trap Card zones are full in this discussion, on both sides of the field, so no one can summon, special summon, or Torrential Tribute/Giant Trunade their way into any other discussion of another certain topic. There will be no summoning a bunch of monsters in one turn. That's right, I remembered.

This. Is. VOTE DISCUSSION.

This. Is. VOTING THREAD. (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?4728-Member-Of-The-Year!-2014&p=112144#post112144)


Happy Discussions everyone!

Most Colorful Member: (I want to vote Comatose for his colourful language...lel. But I don't.)



Suicune's Fire

In this instance, I should also be added to this list. =P

I'll assume the names that are struck out weren't serious votes. I'll be sure to remind Winter that you don't think she's cool. =P

[Suicune's Fire]

True dat. I was going to add you to the list. XD

Yes, I was going to add something to say that the striked out things weren't serious. xD And ahaha, I striked her out because she's always the "coolest" member because her name is "Winter"... xD THANKS!

[Winter]

I think that's why I was voted coolest member last year. Why am I always the subject of puns???

Funny enough, I'm almost always super cold...but if you look at me (not that you can, haha!), I'm all warm colors--brown eyed redhead. XD

[Bulbasaur]

3/5 people voted me best male... *sniffs* *is touched*

Ahahaha it's so good! Yay redhead! 8D I love red hair! Mine's sorta reddy brown. xD

Bulbasaur I can't remember if I voted for you for anything...I wanted to! xD I'm not finished with my entry anyway so editing is inevitable~

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

I can't believe it's MOTY time again. This year has gone so fast!

[Dragon Master Mike]

Where did this year go? and OH MY GOD two people put me as one of the choices for best writer. I am unworthy (But still grateful)!

No one said we couldn't, and there is no rule against it, so I voted Bulbasaur best male and best female.

[XaiakuX]

I won't count it. I kinda figured common sense would kick in at that stage.

In the end, we're all winners. It's just that about 5 people get prizes. o.O


Also!

Don't forget to enter the Epic Moment category! Just fill out the little form in the other thread and post it here for us to see. Then you'll get an exclusive spot in the Hall of Fame, as well as some other neat prizes.


Everyone mash the characters "#MotY14" into your statuses on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr. Send me a screencap via PM of your status and I will follow your account (Except for Facebook, I respect privacy to that standard.), as well as get you a neat prize of your very own.

I've seen your picture. Coincidentally it featured ice cream. THE PUNS FOLLOW YOU. THEY FOOOOLLOOOOOW YOOOOOOU.


*Coughs* Anyway, I'll vote later on. Going to bed, and frankly... I'm so bad at this. I just panic and forget. Aaaah, high stress, ye are not my friend.

[Dragon Master Mike]

I won't count it. I kinda figured common sense would kick in at that stage.



That's actually very disappointing. I guess I will change it.

Great.......and I'm paired with the most bizzare. God help me now. xD

[3m0d0ll]

I won't count it. I kinda figured common sense would kick in at that stage.

It wasn't specifically banned in the rules, and I think we were allowed to on PE2K. I don't see what the harm could be allowing a male to win best female or vise versa. :P

ALSO, everyone should vote Corey and I for best pair, because we are. xoxo

[The demise of that Trevenant was the most satisfying moment of any battle I've ever watched.]

While we're on the subject of this, by the way...

It's one entry per person. I suppose I should have made that clear from the start. But now It's a thing.

This is my entry. Don't worry, I will be creating a specific unit to decide the winner of this year's Best PxR Moment that won't include Sabi or Myself. <3

Genre: Showdown Battle
Material: The Battle of 100 Turns! (http://www.pokemoncrossroads.com/forum/showthread.php?1720-Pokemon-Showdown-HUB!-Post-your-replays-here!&p=32504&viewfull=1#post32504)

3m0d0ll: That was Pe2k. Also, no one did it last year, why would it be okay this year? It was brought up last year, and my answer was no. I'm all for good fun, but it's kind of a pain in the butt to sift through joke votes.


Best Site Staff Member: what's the difference compared to above?

The difference is Forum Staff vs. Site Staff is Moderators vs. Editors and Staff. Site Designers like Eric, Gemma, and myself account for both. Just as well, Sarah generally oversees the Forum, while Ray oversees the Site.

For more emphasis: Dragon Master Mike is a Site Writer, Caite-Chan is a Senior Editor. They're primarily Site Staff. While Saraibre Ryu and Grassy_Aggron are Moderators, and are primarily Forum Staff.

I hope this helps. <3

[Suicune's Fire]

YES I FORGOT ABOUT OUR 100 TURN BATTLE. So good. But so annoying. xD

[Dragon Master Mike]

I'm all for good fun, but it's kind of a pain in the butt to sift through joke votes.


Does that mean all the votes for Winter as coolest member don't count?

Also, lol that battle. That battle was glorius. I love how like, half of PXR was there watching. I'm just watching it though and thinking "Oh my god, why was every other sentence out of my mouth so stupid?"

I'd also put THE WHOLE OF LPW8 and the ongoing LPW9, but that's hideously huge and I'd doubt it would really work. I considered Operation Atlas Shrugged Too Much as well, but that was a bit divisive due to those rules blunders. Being in Team Aqua was a close second.

Yes!

See, I knew people would get a kick out of that.

[Nekomata]

I wasn't expecting to see my name nominated for anything... so for the ones that nominated me- THANK YOU!

... but I am not deserving of any rewards, nominations, votes, etc.. xD I fail at life.

Good luck to everyone though!

Time to go back to lurking. (We need a category for lurking, on that note. =D)

[Suicune's Fire]

You deserve it, Neko! ^v^ You're an awesome drawer/comic maker and spriter.

Lol we do need a lurking category! I have a feeling it would be hard to nominate people who are too good at lurking though... xD

[XaiakuX]

Lol we do need a lurking category! I have a feeling it would be hard to nominate people who are too good at lurking though... xD

I will actually consider this.

[Suicune's Fire]

XD Ahaha, I wonder who'd win that category.

[XaiakuX]

The person who's been here the longest but has the least amount of posts. But you somehow know they log in just about EVERY DAY.

[Homura]

Who would that be?

[Steel Lunpara]

Ugh. That one could be me, but pointing that out just now proves that I can't receive it.

[Homura]

Just like yolo and ask for it anyway~

[Jessu]

It wasn't specifically banned in the rules, and I think we were allowed to on PE2K. I don't see what the harm could be allowing a male to win best female or vise versa. :P



I remember back on PE2K some males would win the best female award and it'd be hilarious. x3

cough y'all should vote me as best newcomer because TECHNICALLY I haven't been around on PXR yet huehuehue cough

[Bulbasaur]

I feel so special! 12 votes for me, and four for best male... Even if I don't win anything I'll feel well loved here. <3

Also I am a bit surprised that only one of those votes is for most bizarre... although I guess we have a good population of bizarre members.

[Rival Max]

With a due respect to Neo's appearance in war. Ray contributions to this site and forum far overshadow others. People who know or have worked with him should come out and support a man who takes little credit but keeps the wheels in motion around here!

[Dragon Master Mike]

It was a REALLY hard choice, but I think I'm going to have to go with Ray for MOTY.

[Rival Max]

It was a REALLY hard choice, but I think I'm going to have to go with Ray for MOTY.

Agreed, it wad a hard choice.

[Suicune's Fire]

I hope all the votes are recounted by the end of the year because I've edited my post a few times! x)

And I agree that more people need to vote! Imma tag some people I know. XD

Hey there's nothing wrong with that the more the merrier.

I has voted; I never really got to know most of you folks, so the votes are based on the time I was really prowling around the forums too much XD

Lightning Dash..

Try again, dude.

[Ganyu]

Placed my votes, although it doesn't mean much. I found myself repeating a lot of names; shows how small my PXR social circle is lol. ;;

Mine was the same way in my first couple of years. Just get yourself out there and you'll meet the whole gang! All that matters is that you voted so thanks!

Side note I was honored by Dash's vote for Artist. There are a great deal of amazing artist on this forum to be considered part of that group is awesome.

[Caite-chan]

I love how I break the site and people still vote for me...lol.

[Rival Max]

But Caite, breaking the site requires talent! :D

I don't think I wanna mess with you now...

[Neo Emolga]

I will TRY to get some votes in. Been crazy busy lately and while I really like my new job (especially compared to my last job), it's still a full time job.

I haven't been foruming that much at all lately, I'll be honest. :P

[Lord Celebi]

Grassy_Aggron

Most Colorful Language? I'll *****ing take that *****.

[XaiakuX]

You guys have about 4 and a half hours to get your HoF entries in before I close it up and get the team to decide who wins. So if you want to enter, do it now.

[XaiakuX]

Well, The polls are closed for the Hall of Fame. But you still have 2 days to cast votes for Member of the Year! I see a lot of empty slots that need filled, so go fill them up!

Looks awesome Sarah. Im also excited to see what happens.

[Suicune's Fire]

They do look fantastic! When I first glanced at them, though, I thought it was some Davy Jones-like character hiding behind some blue cloth... It was weird. xD The black eye-shaped part below the poke ball with the piece of white in it was the eye.
