@sheikhspeare: u mad?
I got a couple of questions:
OT AWARDS
OT queen: Is this for OT female members or queen as in "divas"? I ask because I saw someone nominating LJS and I have seen people reffer to him as a "queen" or "diva" before.
OT irl hero award: This is for like people who's life is good in the real world (I guess we take them are their word)?Well so far I haven't been nominated for anything, I'll probably be finally picked for a category then lol.
Guys do we even have a Mexican user?
*raises hand*
En serio o solo quieres la nominación?
@CountBleck12: I still have over half the categories to fill in, so don't sweat it =)
Yeah, definitely. :P

A pues bien.
Guys, the OTCars Nominations thread, I just noticed is about to fall on the second page, maybe its better off stickied now?
I feel pressured by the nominations which is why I keep procrastinating :/
Don't feel that way my friend. Don't think of it as choosing someone over another...for me it was mostly a way to thank certain people for encouraging me, supporting me, entertaining me or making me think.
Who do you come here for? Who makes you laugh? Who makes you feel better when you're having a bad day? Those are the people you should vote for....it doesn't mean you dislike everybody else, but there are a few people who are more important to us than others.
For example, I voted for Indzman for friendliest user...does that mean I find you unfriendly? Or John? Or Toph? Of course not, but to me, Indz is that guy who's always in a good mood and is always pleasant to others. I voted for you as most intelligent user...does that mean everybody else here is less intelligent than you? No, it means that when I thought "ok, who is the first person that comes to mind when I think intelligent, well thought out arguments?" and you were the person who popped in my mind.
Nobody is going to be upset that you didn't nominate them, this isn't prom, so just chill and take this chance to say thank you to some people =)
I have to say that post really encouraged me, much more than I would have expected beforehand. I feel all loose now and ready to freely nominate :3 I thank you my good sir.
But to reflect on that a little more, I don't know why exactly I compulsively worry about it. I guess it does have to do with what you already mentioned: that I worry about forgetting someone whom I believe to be a valuable member of the community. It generally stems from my desire to nominate the right people for the right awards. But yea you're right this shouldn't devolve into a popularity contest; its just a pleasant tradition to celebrate the community at large and to continue maintaining it active and alive. I really ought to use that last statement as a disclaimer at the end of my nomination post.
@GazaAli: Happy to help. I can understand the fear of leaving someone out because I feel that too from time to time, but then I realise that just because I didn't write a specific name in a specific thread at a specific time, that doesn't prevent me from showing appreciation towards the rest of the people I care for in other ways =)
And this is what couldn't fit anywhere else!

A wild Bulbasaur appeared! :o And it sounds like he's trying to say that he's thinking about sticking around this time! Instead of running back down to his preferred TDH natural habitat. :P
@Master_Live wow, that nominations list.. Were you documenting the year as it went on, or do you actually remember all of that stuff? :o
@Master_Live: Somehow your nomination post made me really sad. It sounded like you were saying goodbye...I really hope not. I will admit that you were not my favourite user when I first started stopping by OT but you really grew on me. I really like reading your stuff and you're one of the faces I always expect to see around here. An OT without Master_Live is the same as an OT without Indzman (that's a big compliment coming from me =P), or any of the people who make OT what it is. Strangely enough, thinking of not seeing you around made me understand why some people leave when all of the familiar faces leave too.
Don't leave us Grinch! =P

Master leaving OT ???
Master leaving OT ???
He didn't say he was leaving, just that he would spend less time here, but if you see his post on the otcars thread his writing style made me think he's more out than in =(

dude.. the hell? are you taking notes or something?
By the looks of it I might be able to fill in all of the categories after all. Though there might be a few that are always gonna be blank. I think I should have at least 90% filled up.
For all of you who still haven't voted, I want to remind you that (unless Dave has changed his mind) the voting closes tomorrow so go vote or add to your nomination list...I've filled in some more on my list...maybe I even voted for you...no, not you, I'd never vote for you, the one behind him, yes, YOU...I voted for you.
@davillain-: No problem =) I see that there are still a few people who "reserved" their post there but haven't nominated anyone, and I assume that if they weren't interested in nominations they wouldn't have reserved the spot to begin with so it would be a shame for the voting to end and people not getting there in time ^_^

You didn't vote for me :(
@indzman: There hasn't been a single person in that thread who hasn't voted for you. I even dare saying that there hasn't a single person who only voted for you in one category XD

This is still nomination phase, nothing's certain yet. We can still make sure Lel goes home crying!
BTW John, one thing forgot to mention you. Don't do templar quest without enough approval from Solas and Dorian, You will positively miss out thier story quests on Skyhold if you do Templar as they mages ( its a very popular bug atm ). Get enough appreciation from Solas and Dorian ( completing all converastions where they appreciate you, doing Solas quests first before anything on Hinterlands ) then attempt Templar mission at last.
Okay I update on my nominations, the list is finalized, and it's ready to be process. Well folks, I'm taking a 2 days off from Gamespot cause got like 6 games that have yet to be played ever since Black Friday sales and Christmas sales. That said, I'm back log as Hell so I hope you have a good weekend everyone and I hope my list helps out.
I'll vote later on today since I'm not at home yet. Anyway, vote for me as Best Mexican user and I'll give you all churros. :P
They're irresistible.
Its gonna pain me to say this but, I've tried Churros before, and my taste buds say they are overrated. :P

They can be a hit and miss, even for me. I mean I tried plenty of churros before from different places. Some are pretty tough and not good but on the other hand, I tasted some that aren't that sugary but they are hot, crunchy and delicious from a certain bakery. Just talking about them makes me want some, they also have some good cakes and Mexican sweet bread.
