ChopCountry First Ever Offseason Awards!

[The Chosen One]

Been meaning to do this since the beginning of January...

POSTING SEASON WAS FROM JULY 4th to DECEMBER 31st

Nominate your top 5 for each the following categories. Those nominated we'll have a poll at the end of the week for each award...

MVP - Best All Around poster who contributed the most to this forum. Satire, Humor, Banter, Thought-Provoking Substance, Statistical expert, can go serious or light, and generally gets plenty of Thanks.

Cy Young Award - Most informative poster with pin-point precision in detail of statistics, information, literature, vocabulary, and debate.

Silver Slugger - Best offensive poster. Offensive can mean offending a mass audience, or producing a ton of post streaks for better or for worse.

Viagra Relief Man of the Year - Best Poster who comes in during the middle of an exchange and puts in his .02 and either gets tons of thanks or gets lots of rave reviews.

Gold Glove Award - The posters that save a thread from being derailed the most, or at least try to save the discussion to remain on-topic. Or posters that when a thread is dying, can come back and light a fire and reignite the conversation.

You can nominate up to 10 people for this award with the posters totaling the 5 highest amount of votes winning the award

The Fredi Gonzalez Award - Poster that doesn't receive enough recognition for their contributions to this community.

Hot Head of the Year - Poster who had the most outcries and callouts. Also the poster that had the worst temper in a thread and immediately went ape$#!+.

As a side rule, if you can't think of 5, then leave as many ballots blank as you can. Posters can be nominated for multiple awards

Poster with Most Street Cred - Poster that is universally respected by everyone.

ROY - New poster that made a name for himself. (Because he joined this month, Millwood is ineligible for this award).

And yes, I'm leaving myself out of the conversation.

[CyYoung31]

How about the Brian McCann award? For the poster who helped carry the forum in the first half and then trailed off in the second.

Also, am I eligible to win my own award?

I wouldn't say you pulled a McCann. Would probably give that to AUTiger (not Auburn mod). Dude was posting like 100 posts per gamethread then had to go to school and stopped posting.

[CyYoung31]

I wasn't tooting my own horn.

[The Chosen One]

Woops. Misread. Yes you are eligible.

[TURBO]

MVP-PatioDaddio- couldn't have done it without him.

[GovClintonTyree]

It's an honor just to be nominated. Happy to be a part of this great, grand organization.

[GovClintonTyree]

I don't see why not. Also, no nsacpi for MVP is like no Macklemore for Record of the Year. He's gotta be in there.

[GovClintonTyree]

Perhaps a Lifetime Achievement/Special Award from the Academy for SAV/Keith Lockhart? The Oscars are nothing if not self-congratulatory...

[weso1]

Guys... let's keep this thread on topic, ok.

[nsacpi]

Guys... let's keep this thread on topic, ok.

[Dalyn]

MVP - Our first MVP must be Mr. Chairman of the Bored himself, KeithLockhart.

Cy Young Award - Goldfly, Meta, Rico, Jpx7, Julio3000

Silver Slugger - AA, Niners, Runnin, Thethe, Gilesfan (To clarify, I like several of these posters and enjoy their contribution to the board, but other people sure get pissed at them a lot)

Viagra Relief Man of the Year - Jpx7, Julio3000, KeithLockhart, Weso, AA

Gold Glove Award - Weso, ChapelhillMatt, CyYoung31, Meta, Jpx7, Hawk, KeithLockhart, Julio3000, Goldfly, Turbo

The Fredi Gonzalez Award - (I will go ahead and accept that this is meant to be a positive thing) Goldfly, AA, Thethe, Niners, Weso

Hot Head of the Year - AA

Poster with Most Street Cred - OkHawk, Rico, Bedell

ROY - AuTiger

[Millwood1Hitter]

I'm not accepting not being elgible for ROY, therefore I will proceed with file and trial and take this to an arbitor. I don't want to cause any animosity with anyone on this board, just trying to get the best deal possible, you know, this is a business. If I don't win, I will do my best for the next 3 years, but then probably take my talents to the Yanks, Red Sox, or Dodgers board.

[BremanFan88]

How about the Brian McCann award? For the poster who helped carry the forum in the first half and then trailed off in the second.

I feel like I'm in the running for this. Does our contributions before the new forum count?

[Gary82]

The Fredi Gonzalez Award: 50pound, Braves1976, Gary82, goldfly, Dalyn

I think the best timing for this would be around a week or two into spring training. That's when you are going to get your most traffic.

As with most things, the chop country awards are strictly about stroking the insiders egos.

As long as I win Cy Young I don't care

[zitothebrave]

I want to be the Eminem of the Chop Country Offseason awards.

[The Chosen One]

I've already withdrawn my name from any consideration.

A vote for me is like a vote for Ron Paul. A waste.

Classic narcissist move.

[The Chosen One]

Classic narcissist move.

I can't win. Under any situation.

This is NOT like Selig winning the award named after him.

[CyYoung31]

As long as I win Cy Young I don't care

I will not be presenting if you win.

[CyYoung31]

How about the Javy Lopez Award for the poster with the best avatar? Maybe throw in sigs for that category as well?

And what about the gilesfan Award for the best member who is a fan of an opposing team?

[CyYoung31]

How about the Alex Wood Award for the best staff?

[bravebonebook]

Careful. Zito has said that Insiders are already being stroked on here...

[rico43]

I am not old, dammit.

[weso1]

I wish there was a GM of the year award.

[thethe]

I think Encheff needs to be nominated somewhere.

[The Chosen One]

This is going to be worse than the baseball Hall of Fame vote. So far 12 people have posted only 3 actual votes

[Gary82]

I will sell my vote to the highest bidder.

[cajunrevenge]

I vote for no one because I don't know who did and did not take posting enhancing drugs.

[GovClintonTyree]

I am not old, dammit.

See, this was my reaction. Then I thought, oh, hell. Who am I kidding?

On Millwood, sometimes somebody comes along and you have to throw convention out the window. Kinda like putting Puig in the Allstar game. Plus, he said he'd take Lock to arbitration if the ruling wasn't overturned, and we're not a file-and-trial franchise. Better to cave so there are no hard feelings.

[goldfly]

i will not be happy with just being nominated

i am here to win

[The Chosen One]

Ok. Nominate yourself... nominate anybody even jeez. I just need people to start nominating (serious nominations btw, not troll noms).

[goldfly]

don't tell me what to do

[The Chosen One]

I post-nominate weso1 for MVP.

Without him, we're still lurking on Scout being banned and all.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I nominate myself for the award that goes to excellence in copying and pasting news from Twitter.:icon_biggrin:

[weso1]

I don't really like these types of threads because it leaves many good posters out... jmo. This is going to sound cheesy but a great message board is the sum of all of its parts. Parts that piss us off and parts that that don't. So many different and entertaining personalities here.

But I think KeithLockhart is the MVP. Awesome dude who has created a great forum that is just fun to post on.

2nd vote goes to Zito.

was with you until there

[The Chosen One]

That's why it's your job to nominate as many as you can... even if that means leaving nsacpi off your ballot.

[Heyward]

I win all awards.

/thread over.

[AUTiger7222]

[zitothebrave]

Not to be corny but it's gonna happen anyway, but I think the MVP belongs to the whole board. Some posters who've been big contributors here haven't posted on Scout much lately. Many of us were key in recruiting posters either en masse or via PM. SAV build the board, weso did a bulk of the recruiting and many others did their job getting posters over here.

Of course got to give everyone a hand who came here and stuck. Obviously the other board is dead, and we have thrived over here and hopefully in the upcoming years we'll be the go to Braves message board. Expanding is our next step hopefully.

There is really only one other Braves board that I know of that is any competition.

[NinersSBChamps]

So???????

[goldfly]

Gonna hold voting on opening day when hopefully more people come out of hiding.

[Heyward]

I know 1-2, probably just one.

[The Chosen One]

Time for me to buyout like Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
