Title: DTF Awards 2012 - Results!
Post by: Heretic on December 15, 2012, 12:59:28 PM
Well, everyone, this is the moment you've all been waiting for. The results of this year's Dream Theater Forums awards! *crowd applause*

One by one, Implode will start posting the awards. After a category has been completed, I'll update the first post with the results! There will be a few short intermissions and breaks-- we're not quite sure at what times, yet, but we're trying to work this around our own schedules, of course.

In any case, let the awards begin!

Quote

Well, that about wraps it up for this year! 2012 was a heck of year, and despite the many niggles throughout the year, it turned out to be one for the record books. We'll keep things in mind for next year, and hopefully make things even more engaging and exciting. So go out, enjoy Christmas and the new year, make 2013 your best year yet, and we'll see you back for the DTF Awards next year. This is Implode and Heretic, signing out.

DTF Awards 2012 RESULTS

The time has finally come to announce the winners to the 2012 DTF Awards! I will make posts throughout the day revealing the runnerups and winners. It'll go like this: First I'll post the top 4 for two awards. Then about an hour later, I'll make another post with the winners to those two categories as well as the top 4 for the next two awards. Today, I'll be annoucing the Most/Least Likely and Thread Awards, and tomorrow the General Member Awards. Thank you to all who participated!

Also, I'm going to be pasting these from my phone as I wrote all the posts last night. I hope all the formating works out. Let's get started!

Most likely to become president:
- hefdaddy42
- Tick
- Scheavo
- bosk1

Most likely to cry for five days straight if the forum is down:
- black_floyd
- BlobVanDam
- DebraKadabra
- Scorpion

I thought it'd be better to leave that out. If people really want to see it, we could add it later tonight, but I won't be able to post that stuff as it's going right now.

Naw, just general interest and stuff. It is something different if twenty people vote for someone and the second place is two or if the first place has five votes and the second four, you know?






Alright geez yeah I wanted to know that. :P

Ohh I get it. The winners are one (or in one case...two) of the top four. That makes sense. I thought for some reason that you were going to list the top four runners up and then a 5th winner. But I like this way better. :)

Hef must have it for fifteen. He's like an institution! I'd quite like Blob to win both, though. He might pull an H.

Violet's cult must, every single time she was nominated, have been specified as a JLB cult. I'm confident of it.

My money is on "Mora and Wasteland" and Cozmo. Though I'm sad I wasn't nominated for that last one. Ah well.

Post by: robwebster on December 15, 2012, 03:48:08 PM
Blob's second of the night. All the new nominees - haven't yet won an award, I believe!

I think, the first one's a two-horse race, top and bottom. Possibly edge to lonestar and obscure, cos they're the only two whose capitalisations match.

The second... psh! No idea! I'm gonna say jazzguitar, almost a stock answer, he's our token musician, but I reckon kirk might give him a run for his money.

Well, I'm voting for you in this category, so the nominees so far are:

- MoraWintersoul
- Totally not MoraWintersoul

That's fine. I used my one wish on Mike Portnoy. Some days, dreams come true. Today is one of those days.

Mora and Trypo, for these categories, I'm predicting. Any day. Although. Lucidity's was more of an unconventional first post. That might count in his favour.

Hurrah! An award! I'd like to thank my cats, Uri Geller, the International Guild of Professional Butlers...

So, hold up. That means... Kialer2112 has won best post AND worst post? And if we'd collaborated, and synchronised our votes, he could've won either category outright?

Absolutely brilliant.

Right, last two categories.

Best Thread of 2012:
Best Thread OF ALL TIME:

I'm expecting "We are not a match" will get a nomination for all time. No idea for thread of 2012, or the other three candidates for all time. Don't think either of the two I nominated will make it for either category.

...Any ideas?

Aha! Fantastic! I did wonder. Right - the game is on!! I think... MS Paint thread will win the second category. Post Your Picture for the first.

(Incidentally, if anyone doesn't remember John the Explorer - it wasn't a million miles away from this thread (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=20767.0), which came up when I searched "John the Explorer." Biggest difference, it had these sort of retro digital pictures, with lots of these sort of benevolent gnome things. And John spent a lot of time pulling his trousers down and letting the local wildlife acclimatise to his presence. He was an odd explorer.)

Not very many people nominated things for the thread awards.  :-\

After everything is done, I'm going to post a list of all the awards and nominations as well as some other interesting numbers. :)

Edit: I'm trying to compile a log of all the awards from the past years, but the only organized one I can find is last years. 2009 was the first time I take it, not sure I can add it to this record because it was really laid back and votes weren't counted up as far as I can see. And there's no trace of one in 2010.

I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't one in 2010. I've sort of done them on-off since DT.net. I do remember, my first one, Borlag went through and edited all the categories so nobody could say anything that might be misconstrued as negative. Different times!

I can count up the votes for 2009, if you'd like. Might take me eight months like last time, but I'll give it a go.

Only if you want! It's not a big deal. Just thought it'd be cool to see how many people have won awards and such.

I would've counted them myself, but it seemed like people were then allowed to award nominations whenever they wanted. Their might've been lots of one-person awards. Not sure though. I didn't read through the entire thread.
Title: Re: DTF Awards 2012 - Results!
Post by: robwebster on December 16, 2012, 10:32:55 AM
Naw, it was mostly people filling out the form. A lot of multi-voting, though, as I think naturally happens when votes are public because you don't want to be seen as missing someone important out. Bugger to count. I'd usually just count all of them if there's only a couple, or if there were loads and loads I'd take the first one and go with that.

It has tended to be pretty casual, though, yeah. Hence my tendency not to tot them up. This is the first one that's been done properly. Much better for it. When are the announcements starting tonight?

Also, I'm rubbish at photoshop, but I'm happy to have a go - would anyone be interested in signature banners for the winners (and potentially the nominees!) or something like that?

If you don't already have that planned for once they've all been announced, of course.

Well, yeah - thirty-six to do, no promises, I can't guarantee I'd be able to put something together, but I was potentially thinking a (MUCH smaller) version of something like this...

The difficulty, natch, is finding thirty-five other emblems that'd go well over a gold medal. And look good small.

And now we will begin to reveal the winners to the General member Awards! Thanks again to all who voted! This time there may be one, two, or three awards announced at once because there are more than yesterday! It depends on how I wanted to group them. :P

We're starting out with three awards for the first one! Here are the top four for each category.

Hm...smart =/= wise. The smartest DTFer is not the wisest DTFer. Whatever - I'm rooting for Orbert.

Funniest belongs to b_f. He really earned it this year with some killer posts.

Friendliest is hard because those are all extremely friendly people. Originally I voted for Gadough but I think Debra deserves it from that list.

Thanks to Adami and H as well as everyone else who voted for me. It really means a lot. I did't think I had much of a chance at it this year since we have so many hilarious members here like TioJorge (whom I voted for), Robwebster, Deb, Adami, Hef, Elite, Fuzzboy, Blob, and so many more that I can't possibly think of 'em all off the top of my head. I love you all and you guys are great.

Likewise - smartest, frankly, is an honour, given the competition. Three very clever blokes - all of whom have used their minds in much better ways than I have. Humbled!

Can't argue with any of the results. There's so little between any of those categories. Ties occasionally feel like a bit of a cop-out - no consensus - but in this case, it just feels right. I hope the other two weren't far behind.

All female nominations for Most Attractive. Yep, definitely a progressive rock board.

Hmm...I never really got what Orbert's and lateralus's sigs are supposed to depict.

Best avatar is lonestar or Sigz.

Orbert's sig is Yes-themed. (You need to listen to more Yes, H.)  lateralus' sig has something to do with Swedish death metal, I think.

Hmm...I never really got what Orbert's and lateralus's sigs are supposed to depict.

Orbert's are various Yes album covers, Lat's is Varg Vikernes, a Norwegian black metal artist who was associated with a string of church burnings in the early 90s (as well as doing 15 years in jail for murdering his bandmate).

Thanks to Adami and H as well as everyone else who voted for me. It really means a lot. I did't think I had much of a chance at it this year since we have so many hilarious members here like TioJorge (whom I voted for), Robwebster, Deb, Adami, Hef, Elite, Fuzzboy, Blob, and so many more that I can't possibly think of 'em all off the top of my head. I love you all and you guys are great.

Salamé!

Salame?  Balone! :P :jets:

Anyhoooooo - funniest was SO hard to nominate for, since there are heaps of funny peeps here.  That said... I was one of the ones who nominated you, and I'm flattered to be included in your list of funny peeps. :)

Does anyone know where the results for last year are? I checked the OP and last couple pages for this thread (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=30364.0) but didn't see it anywhere in there. Does anyone recall if it's even in those 12 pages or not? Just seems weird because there are no other threads started by robwebster that have any content remotely close to this.

Popping in to say muchas gracias for the most creative award guys. Very happy to share it with the other guys, but ThroughHerEyesDude deserves the title as well.

Also, we'll have to work out an alternate way of doing these next year-- there's so many ties and even shared awards between three people. We need to either take another step in the voting (as suggested by some) or allow for tie-breakers or something.

This does mean that I probably won't be making signature banners, though. I fear it'd be milking it too much.

I started doing these earlier - you had about 50% of the awards at that time, so naturally, one of them happened to be a category you won. Obviously, that one's probably too big, but something along those lines.

Something official would be cool. What'd be ideal, would be to make sort of banners that were uncopyable - find some way to worm in a watermark, make it official, so you can't get people making up awards (not that I think they'd try!) - but christ knows if I'm capable of that. I tried, with the majesty logo, but I'm sure someone more qualified than me could do a better (and smaller!) job.

The main thing that I think they'd be good for, is that they'd keep people thinking of it all year round. Helps make it an event, an institution. I think that's good - Heretic and Implode have put a lot of effort into this year's, it's paid off grandly, and next year's deserves to be even more successful.
Title: Re: DTF Awards 2012 - Results!
Post by: Heretic on December 16, 2012, 08:47:31 PM
Actually I absolutely love how those look, rob. Maybe a bit smaller (as per signatures go) but those are quite excellent. It'd be work to make one for every person, but then you'd at least have the images for the coming years as well (although we might change the color of the background + insignia for each year.) :D
Title: Re: DTF Awards 2012 - Results!
Post by: robwebster on December 16, 2012, 09:04:22 PM
Tell you what, then. I'll put together some kind of blank insignia, which can then be customised year on year. Different colours, fonts, emblems if you want. I can't promise they'll all look brilliant, I'm using an in-browser photoshop clone (www.pixlr.com - might as well give them a bit of publicity) and whatever transparent free-use(-ish) images I can find on google image search, but you can change the shit ones in future years, you've got a blank one if you want to add more categories, and if you want me to do this year's medals I'll see how quickly I can get them done. Hopefully sooner than August.

(https://i46.tinypic.com/iepnah.jpg)
(https://i50.tinypic.com/b7c1tg.jpg)
(https://i46.tinypic.com/34hdou9.jpg)

These were the other three, by the way. "Most likely to leave" and "Most likely to be elected" are, er, half-finished. Is the line I'm going to use. I did say I was rubbish with photoshop. I also fear that the emblem on "Musician" just plain won't be legible at a smaller size. It's not great at the current size. So if there's anyone else who's game to do this, I'm sure there are people who could do a much better job much quicker than me! I will pay you literally all of my prize money. But if nobody else fancies it, it will get done. Eventually.
Title: Re: DTF Awards 2012 - Results!
Post by: Ħ on December 16, 2012, 09:06:50 PM
Yeah, that would be awesome! And it would certainly attract attention to the contest in future years. What would be neat is if each person had a running tab in their sig of which categories they won and which year. That'd be a lot of work, and would have to be updated every year to boot...I just wonder if there's an easier way to just make a template so everyone can do it themselves.
Title: Re: DTF Awards 2012 - Results!
Post by: robwebster on December 16, 2012, 09:13:54 PM
My original idea was actually a little bit like that - I thought about doing little icons, like Xbox achievements. You can have a neat row of icons. Sounds simple, right?

Well, that idea sort of survived in the form of the emblems on the medals, but because I can't draw very well (and certainly not with this mouse) I ended up seeking out transparent images on Google, and they don't always look as great scaled down. Then I wanted to make sure the right awards went to the right people, so people couldn't sneak awards they hadn't earnt, so I chose to add a watermark, and then decided I'd overlap a username and the name of the award so nobody has access to the blank version of the medal, and it all turned into this sort of massive kerfuffle, where discreet icons have become cumbersome medallions and it's all a big mess.

So I'm definitely in a little over my head, here.

https://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/mass-effect-3/achievements/

Something like that, is what I had in mind - medals with relevant images on. To expand them...

(https://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120317212219/masseffect/images/d/de/ME2_Technician_Achievement.png) (https://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120317211639/masseffect/images/8/87/ME2_Incineration_Specialist.png) (https://images.wikia.com/masseffect/images/3/3e/ME2_Heart_Of_Darkness.png)

Or something like this, where there's a distinct theme:

https://www.xbox360achievements.org/game/fallout-new-vegas/achievements/

I don't know how plausible any of that would be, though. I'm not a very good artist at the best of times. I can rock MS Paint, and I can find my way around photoshop software, but by and large. How do people go about making achievement icons?

I should also post more If I want to win anything next year :P

Everyone's definition of "make it" is different.  Doesn't always need to be financial measurements.  You've put out a fantastic prog record, with a couple of fairly well known names (Ryo and PelleK) ... at least, well known in these circles.

I'd say that qualifies as having 'made it'.  Or at least, made something.

Yeah, I know what you're saying, my only financial goal is for the production of these albums to be cost-neutral.  I couldn't care less if I make money.  I just want to keep making prog albums AND stay married  :jets:

But you were also here back when he was still posting somewhat regularly, I think. Basically, I was trying to convey that if you go away for a while then there's a good chance that only a small percentage of the members will remember your personality well enough to even be able to decide whether or not they consider you the most or least whatever for a given category. I will, however, vote for Spencer for "Gentlest Giant."

That's a category I wish we'd had: Most Missed Member.

There was a "best absentee" category last year.  My vote will go to JustJen, with an honorable mention to :lhk:

I'm glad the Mouse thread was thread of the year. That was some of the most fun I've ever had with internet shenanigans.

It was a very close second in my voting, but Scenes from My Memory, when I first came across that one, I was literally pissing myself for three hours reading it. Never forget that afternoon.

Mouse is definitely a worthy winner though, best ending to a thread ever.

Same here. It's a shame, a very big shame Indiscipline disappeared leaving no trace. Would it be that we had policemen or detectives among us to find him.  ::)

I saw that in one of the previous ones there was a "most likely to secretly be Kevin Moore"-one. Did KevSchmev always win that? :D

What about "Most likely to secretly be [all of the other band members, current or ex)]"?

Most likely to be secretly the long lasting shadow account of Mike Portnoy?
