DTF Awards 2012 - Results!

[Heretic]

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!

----

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

[Scorpion]

Can you add how many people voted for a certain person, please? Thanks.

[Implode]

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.

[Elite]

Good stuff, I'm eager.

Can you add how many people voted for a certain person, please? Thanks.

I voted for you on the crying-if-the-forums-are-down thing, if you wanted to know

[Scorpion]

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.

[Implode]

Winners! We have a tie for one of them!

Most likely to become president:

[Scorpion]

H and Andy are the winners, calling it now.

[Adami]

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.

[senecadawg2]

I'd be curious to sit in on a cult full of Andys...

[SomeoneLikeHim]

Totally Tio and andy

[Ħ]

Yay results!

And most likely to be sectioned and/or join a cult. Shoot...well I'll just start a cult. In my own little head. There's already hundreds of followers. Hee hee!

[jingle.boy]

Following!

[Implode]

And the winners for those two are...

Most likely to be sectioned:
* Ħ
- El Barto

Most likely to join a cult:

I bet you're really proud of those ones.

Next two!

[MoraWintersoul]

So 2013 is 15 years away for Blob? 

[Scorpion]

Didn't Jamesman win both of these categories last year?

[lonestar]

Didn't Jamesman win both of these categories last year?

I think so, but he only followed through on one.

[JayOctavarium]

following!




errr I mean

[robwebster]

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.

[MoraWintersoul]

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

Most likely to join that cult in a heartbeat:
Ummm, totally not me

[robwebster]

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

- MoraWintersoul
- Totally not MoraWintersoul

Currently, we're looking at a tie.

[MoraWintersoul]

* BlobVanDam
- lonestar

Most likely to be gone by the end of 2013:

- Gadough
- BlobVanDam






Next two!

Most likely to move in together:
- lonestar + obscure
- Heretic + senecadawg2 "The two young vegetarians"
- AcidRainLTE + lateralus
- wasteland + MoraWintersoul

Most likely to make it as a musician:
- Sir GuitarCozmo
- mrjazzguitar
- kirksnosehair
- Elite

Note: Every so often I'll add in a quote from one of our voters if I think it's nice/relevant.

[Adami]

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

[robwebster]

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

Currently, we're looking at a tie.

(Bow ties are cool, too.)

[MoraWintersoul]

Yay, my presence acknowledged, and in a cool way, not anything I hoped for

To quote myself from the ask thread:

Seriously though. It's time for DTF to know we have become very good friends in a short period of time. Thanks to DTF. You people applaud yourselves

@ rob: bow ties are fanbloodytastic

[Elite]

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

I actually voted for you, because I found Cozmo and nosehair to be successful enough already I'm also gladly surprised I got nominated, thanks!

[MoraWintersoul]

I'm also gladly surprised I got nominated, thanks!

You're welcome

[Ħ]

Heck yeah! All hail the sectioned cult leader!!

[Implode]

And the winners for those two are...

Most likely to move in together:
* lonestar + obscure

- mrjazzguitar
* kirksnosehair

[Adami]

Mr. Webstertoneville and Mr. Portnoy.

[Elite]

Though voting for MP is the ultimate troll thing to do, it would be funny if he wins it.
