The first step is over! :D We have our nominees! There were plenty of votes, and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed. It was a lot of work, but worth it. This is a lot of fun to do, and again I thank those that help to make it fun. Okay, now on to what you skipped the first paragraph for! The Nominees for "Most Popular" are: Angelandspike Angelsxo Midwestrocker Stig14 Witchinsider The Nominees for "Funniest" are: Chrisbd1 Inyashadude101 Midwestrocker RoxieVelma Stig14 The Nominees for "Most Influential" are: HappyYellowBall Sesho2022 Shelbing Spyrick Stig14 The Nominees for "Best Blog" are: 123home123 Awerlwas Midwestrocker Stig14 xGowronx The Nominees for "Best Blopper" are: Angelandspike Angelsxo Awerlwas Kimba66 Witchinsider The Nominees for "Best Banner" are: Angelsxo Awerlwas Midwestrocker Stig14 Witchinsider The Nominees for "Best Poster" are: Angelandspike Eklummpjr Sesho2022 Stig14 Studog2961 The Nominees for "Smartest" are: Angelandspike Midwestrocker Sesho2022 Stig14 TheOldBill The Nominees for "Most Missed" are: Batman_Beyonder Danasdude Gakhandal HappyYellowBall Stig14 The Nominees for "Best Ranter" are: Angelandspike Lady_Taaluma RoxieVelma Stig14 TheReverend1 The Nominees for "Best Cult" are: The PFP (Points for People) The CoBB (Cult of the Blue Boxies) The CoLU (Cult of the Lazy Users) The CoNB (Cult of the Named Butterfly) Spyrick? (Someone put down Spyrick's name as a cult, and since there were only four other cult nominees, I thought "Why not?") And the Nominees for "Most Polite" are: Angelsxo Awerlwas Calicow Kimba66 LisaGansky Whew. That's alot of nominees. 60 places, 26 different names (minus cults). Here are some other statistics: The people with the most votes were: 1. Stig14 (37) 2. Angelsxo (32) 3. Angelandspike (31) 4. Midwestrocker (31) 5. Sesho2022 (21) The people nominated the most times are: 1. Stig14 (9) 2. Angelandspike (5) 3. Midwestrocker (5) 4. Angelsxo (4) 5. Awerlwas (4) 53% of the nominees are confirmed women, and the entire "Most Polite" category is made up of women. :lol: The person with the most votes that wasn't nominated was Afenla, with 6. The total number of votes was 337. :o Which means Stig got almost 11% of all the votes. Okay, I'm done with the statistics. Now on to the process. Final voting now begins. Send me a PM with your choices from each category. No write ins! ;) And you can't vote for yourself. Voting ends next Thursday at midnight, so be sure to have your votes in by then. And be sure to tell me whether this new voting method makes things easier or harder, more fun or less fun. Any feedback you can offer will be appreciated, because the next one of these is only three months away! (I didn't realize that... oh boy) Finally, do not be upset if you did not make in to the nominees. I realize there were a lot more people that didn't make it than did, and you might be a bit less interested in it now that you know you can't win. But remember, this is all for fun, and for a morale boost. We've all been feeling a little bit low lately, and the purpose of this is to give us all something to think about and to give us all another reason to stay here. Keep in mind that the votes for this round were a lot different than the first time I did the superlatives. It's amazing, in fact. Several of the winners from last year weren't even nominated in the categories they won in. And the amount of votes that were cast for people that didn't make it to the nominees was staggering. Anything could happen in May (and I most certainly hope it does). If you stick around and become more involved in the community, you could make it up there. :) Next year I don't think this list will look anything like it looks now. So stay happy, keep voting, and keep on doing that stuff you do. :D That's all, enjoy the voting.
