Ryan's ASoUE Netflix Series Megapost must've taken quite a bit of work to collect and format, while always updating it very quickly, so I'm glad it won Best Thread - congarats! Also, an eloquent speech by Dante.
Congarats to lorelai for Most Compassionate. I also very much enjoyed Comet's speech.
Congarats to Lemona for Funniest Member. I was actually delighted that you won that award.
Congarats to matthewmemories and BEAR for Most Notorious, I can't imagine better winners for this award tbh.
Congarats to Liam for Best Artist. Zort, it's okay, I don't see having less votes this year as a comment on the quality of my artwork, but rather that I haven't posted that much art on 667 this past year; something I'm well aware of. I'm pleased to see the ever-working Liam taking home the award, and I'll try to up my artistic output this coming year.
Congarats to MisterM for Best Organizer. I found Anka's speech touching and very well-written, too.
Hermes' speech for Best OoCQ was quite clever and I also enjoyed it. Congarats to Comet/Lemona - The quote might've been premeditated by Comet, but it's funny nonetheless and a good winner!
Congarats to Pepperbear and sophrindle (deal with it, bear) for Best Pairing. Especially sophrindle winning surprised me. Look forward to your official Winner's Darkie Banner™ soon! An eloquently put and funny speech by lorelai as well!
EDIT: Oh wow, and at the time of my writing, Ryan has won another award - congarats, man!
Most Valued Member coming very soon......

Congratulations to Liam on his art - totally deserved, and that's saying something, because there are a few seriously impressive artists here. Same goes for M - the 667'er must involve a lot of work, especially when you have to deal with people like me who tend to send in their contributions just before (or after) the deadline swooshes past. And hi-five, Lemona! We won an award (well, you had one already, but just make me happy and pretend it's also a big deal to you)! And congratulations to both of our best pairings! And to Ryan! There's a bunch of nominees who've shared a great deal of technical insight this year, but I think it's very appropriate that the award goes to someone who contributed so much new knowledge specifically about the Netflix series, as it is the most current Snicket project at the moment. And last, but not least, a great show from the presenters so far! My gambles in the prediction thread are also doing quite well. Yay! The quote might've been premeditated by Comet My quotes don't do drugs. (kidding aside, yeah, it was, but it helped inspire a Darkies category and, by extension, Hermes' hilarious presentation, so I like to tell myself that the end justifies the means in this case.) Dante , longtime moderator of BBooks and even-longertime redhead I did not know that!

Yeah I figured a lot of the newer members wouldn't so I decided go with that rather than something more obvious for Dante

Oh my gosh! Two awards in two days? Thank you guys so much. I truly appreciate it. To repeat what I said yesterday, I am so grateful to be welcomed back to this community after such an absence. You're all so wonderful and I'm glad to work with and for you.

So here it is... while it may not be the single most important Darkie award, it is nevertheless one that encompasses much more than just a specific niché thing you can compete for. In this way, this Darkie is special. If you're easily embittered for not being nominated in this category, you might be tempted to write off the award as just a stupid popularity contest and that you've been on 667 way longer than some of the nominees, but... fortunately, I am not such a person. The Most Valued Poster Darkie shares its initials with another award given out in sports; the Most Valuable Player. It goes to the player with the most skill, who contributes the most to their team (thanks, UrbanDictionary). So obviously, this is the 667 version of that award. If you win, it means that yours are the posts and threads that most 667ers value highly. There may be other members whose posts are valued more highly for their humour, their fiction, their compassion, their notoriety, etc... but none of them have the majority of 667 value their posts like the MVP does. Elsewhere, MVP apparently stands for 'Minimum Viable Product,' but that doesn't really have anything to do with this Darkie at all. Let's roll up the results: On fourth place... Peppermince, Pandora, and Zortegus (0 votes. sorry, guys) On third place... Comet, BSam, Charlie, Linda, Hermes, Mister M, and Lemona (each 1 vote) On second place... Sophie, bear (each 2 votes) And the winner is... Bee and Anka with 3 votes each! Congarats, girls!

Congrats Bee and Anka! It hasn't been such a tie-ful year as some in the past, but this tie is an excellent result, because you both do so much for 667 and help to make it a great place to be!
