Congrats shark! Er, Bandit. (An award won by just one person - is this possible?)

Congratulations to all the winners so far - and welcome, 667ers all, to the presentation of the 2015 Darkies award for the Most Compassionate. I was asked to present this award on the grounds that I wasn’t nominated for it, and indeed, a cold and ruthless moderator like myself can’t expect to win any awards for compassion. But one of the people below can. The question is, what did they do to deserve this? The most noteworthy actions of compassion don’t seem to apply to an online community. You can’t remove a stone from a horse’s hoof or a thorn from a lion’s paw on 667. There are no trees from which to rescue kittens, nor roads to help old ladies across. But on the other hand, what there are, irreverent .gif files notwithstanding, are lots and lots of words. Words are important. Some say that actions speak louder than words, but on 667 Dark Avenue, words are our actions. These are how we joke, inspire, commiserate, celebrate, sympathise and honour. Any sufficiently long-running community becomes less about the reasons for its foundation and more about the people in it, and where would we be without kind words and friendly attitudes? Not on the poll, that’s where. And so the action I’m going to take here is to stop talking about the nature of compassion and get on with the celebration of it where it is found. The nominees are: - Sophie!
- Linda Rhaldeen!
- Hermes!
- Pen!
- Charlie!
- Pandora!
- Anka!
- Lemona Snicket!
- Sixteen!
- Mister M!
And the winner is… …two people! Again! It seems that 667’s voters have been kind enough to honour two people with every award so far; what a stirring example of compassion. And the names of the two most compassionate people are… Sophie and Charlie! Commiserations to the runners-up, and better luck next year!   |

[/span] [/ul] ...another tie!
Pevalwen and Terry Craig!
Congratulations to you both, and to all the nominees! [/quote] Thank you very much indeed! I greatly appreciate this!  I've been busy at university, but I hope to spend a good amount of time on here over the summer. It's so lovely to know that there's a community like this in existence- ever so lovely with events like these and Snicket-enthused at the same time. Congratulations to everybody who has won awards and was nominated! |

This is so much fun! It's nice to see some new blood in the categories, and everyone is very deserving of their awards.

Congratulations everyone so far ( BSam, your speech amused me). Best Volunteer award will be presented in the next hour or so, when the presenter is no longer ridiculously busy and tired.

Firstly, thank you 667 for voting us Most Compassionate, to Sam for our beautiful banner, and to Anka for organising this whole event. I can finally drop this nice facade, hoorah! That being said, I got not even one vote for my notoriety which is totally unfair. This coming year I will be more notorious than ever. This year's nominees were numerous, so instead of just cutting to the chase I am going to drag this out for as long as possible. Pen is notoriously a beautiful human being with a sharp wit and cute personality. But not notorious enough unfortunately!!! I dunno what Bandit is notorious for, but it certainly isn't winning this award. I'm too great at being nice or whatever, so not me. Sad violinsMatt is so notorious that he got like 50 threads locked! But is he notorious enough to score a Darkie ? (please note I omitted the last 5 letters of the alphabet in this paragraph) Mulan, notoriously absent, notoriously kinda gross, has been nominated for this most notorious of awards, but what will the outcome be for him?Dante is a notorious Dante. He Dantes like all the time, and we love him for it, but is his notoriety notable enough to Dante him the spot?Lemona was notorious this past year for her antics in the out of context quote thread, so I've tried to remove all sexual innuendo from this post. Anyway, has out-of-context-Lemona earned a place in the notorious hall of fame?Kyle is a sweetie who talks in absolute gibberish, and is semi-incomprehensible to all but his besties, but will his notorious quirkiness nab him a Darkie?LSWannaBe is notorious for being her, loving old dudes, and being uniquely eccentric, but do these traits alone make her notorious enough?Teleram is the best person since sliced bread, arguably an even better person than sliced bread if sliced bread's humanity is called into question, he is champion of justice who is notoriously against s*uce, but are we going to have a two-year streak for this most marvellous of contenders?Pandora, is notoriously notorious, opinions as wide as the ocean, passion deep as the centre of the Earth, but will she bag this most venerated (for all the wrong reasons) of Darkies once more?Bee is a notoriously fiesty teen, with a notoriously good sense of humour, and a notorious lack of tolerance for bullsalsa, but is this enough to win 667's resident BAMF Bee the award?For those of you not bothered opening my 50 links: Bee and Kyle tied for first position, and boy do they both deserve it! Congratulations you Notorious 667ers! |

Thanks, guys, for the nominations and thanks to Anka for organising the shebang.
Now. this award had caused some discussion, given that no one could seem to agree on what it should be called for a long time. In my day, we called it Most Unfortunate, which was far better than any of your modern suggestions (though Most Dante did amuse me). Anyway, let’s move on to… the lovely nominees for Best Fan.
Dante joined 667 in 2004 and has not had a good night’s sleep since. Nowadays his hobbies include nervous apprehension, increasing dread, and wondering if Hermes was right after all.
Next up (not really next, as I’m not going with an order) moseymoo. I can’t work out if they have the strangest name out of everyone here, or if I’m just more used to hearing the others. Anyway, in their spare time they hide all traces of their actions.
Sherry Ann is a deserving nominee for Most Lemony, but can’t help wondering if she might have chosen to become something safer, like a pirate.
matthewmemories (well, that’s an interesting name too) is widely rgardd as one of he mot difficlt mmbrs to captur ad impison.
Hermes was born before you and is likely to die before you as well, as you probably already know.
A similarly deserving candidate for Most S.A.D. (Serious And Devoted), Agathological appears innocent, but looks can be deceiving.
Gliquey is a newish member, and already is the author of many of valuable posts, and has been accused of many crimes, all falsely.
The next nominee grew up in a small town where the inhabitants were suspicious and prone to riot, which probably fostered their respect for fragilethings, after which they have named themselves.
Last but not least (cliché, yeah), is Terry Craig, who has shown his worthy-ness of Best Snicketologist through sometimes beating Dante at getting news up on 667. Many circulated facts about him are made up, including this sentence.
And the award for Most Snickety…*Anka coughs from offstage* - what, no? OK fine, the award for Best Volunteer goes to…
Three people! Dante, moseymoo and Terry Craig. Nice work, guys.
(Not using spoiler thing because a rebel.)
