Cast your votes for the 2023 Whiffie awards

[zenrat]

Its annoying given the potentially large electorate but 35 seems to be our currently active number of members give or take a few.

On some other forums they send out "come and vote" messages to all registered members.

Done!

I hadn't forgotten it, but bear in mind that it takes a while to do if you're going to give the matter proper thought and remind yourself of the details of some of the entries. I think I've put about two hours into it this morning.

[Weaver]

I never vote for myself, here or in anything else in life.

Same.

[Weaver]

The overall quality in every category is  quite remarkable.  Even if your entry doesn't win, in my view it still deserves a certificate  of excellence.

By the way, if I didn't say thank you for nominating my Type 21G frigate profile at the time, let me fix that now: thank you! 

I was up to my eyeballs in sorting out my late aunt's estate at the time, which is probably why I missed it.

I haven't voted for the Best Backstory yet because I need to read them all again.
Hopefully I will get time to do so before the poll closes.
If not, I apologise.

Same.

Same as me, and I once lost out on a Social Club Committee election because of it. Didn't bother me as I'd not wanted to be nominated in  the first place

Ugggh  Social Club committee sounds like a fate worse than death. Angry people all around you because they didn't get what they wanted. I'd be tempted to steal any ballots with my name on them.

Again, same.

It is a bit sad that with over 2,400 members registered it seems impossible for any GB poll to break 40 votes.  Obviously we're not gonna have 2,400 active members but the page stats show 87 logged in today.  If half voted it would be a big jump in participation.

If you haven't voted yet, consider that my votes could account for a good percentage of the final result.

Do you really want that? 

[TomZ]

All,

I've taken down the polls. Voting is over!

The awards ceremony will be on Sunday the 12th of March, starting around 20:00 CET (-ish)


Now is the time to get in your bribes, either in monetary form or otherwise.
Please remember that any behaviour less than impeccable will not be tolerated during the ceremony and will result in severe penalties including, but not limited to, removal from the premises, disqualification for the awards and the confiscations of stash items.

Yours sincerely,


The Academy

I do not respond to threats.  I shall be bringing a sandwich and the alpaca.  If you make a scene it will not look good in the media.

Please do make sure that the alpaca is suitably dressed.

It shall be wearing an appropriate thong and hat. I appreciate the accommodation and look forward to the ceremony.   Did we end up getting Ricky Gervaise or not? .

Did we end up getting Ricky Gervaise or not? . 

I do hope not!

Can we have James Corden so we can each go all Will Smith and slap him?
