1st annual TW end year awards!!

[slice bh compliment]

2008 Slice? Did you mean 2007?

Breaker, we are still waiting for the results from 2006 - what's goin' on here??

hahaha, Diego thanks for the nod!

I was gone all day and I come back to this flurry of activity.

I'm flattered, thanks Jonny F -- yer too kind, but really, there are much, much more talented comedic minds here. They just get stressed out at times, maybe, over so-n-so's frame, headsizes, overgrips and legacies.

CC yeah, I meant 2007, that's right.
But good point about 06! On the other hand, it's more fun to read posts than to actually divine winners, no? It's the journey and the humor along the way....or is that a little bit too eastern a philosophy?

I nominate ananda for something. That is one dedicated young brother. Even though his screenname sounds like a girls' name. Well it's probably anand amritraj, or anand a-something else.

I definitely nominate strom holloway for something. He is the most hip, eccentric cat around.

And Deuce for best signature.
As usual, it's between Phil and Deuce for most brilliant, cantankerous uncle figure.
Drakulie for horndog of the year.

Well, keep it going, gang. You guys rock. Rock on.

 

[Kaptain Karl]

There is no doubt that Kaptain Karl has the best avatar. It is so good, it is not even fair. Who is that handsome devil anyways?

[KK quickly looks for his Porky Pig pics to change his avatar...!]

[slice bh compliment]

Okay, I just cruised the ''your picture'' thread. I vote Rulo for Most Narcissistic.

 

[MegacedU]

I wish I still spent as much time on TW as I used to

agreed! how about youngest poster who posts like a 30 year touring pro.
if i'm not mistaken he's about 12 or 13 years old.

 

[SoBad]

Okay, I just cruised the ''your picture'' thread. I vote Rulo for Most Narcissistic.

OK, then I nominate him for Most OP-obedient of the "your picture" Thread. There is perhaps a reason why the subject line of the thread is what it is, rather than "your favourite clothing brands", "post pictures from Swedish pro tournaments", or "let's have some p*ssing contests".:neutral:

 

[SoBad]

What's the matter Meg, classes and your D1 tennis games keeping you busy?? Come on, TTW forums are more important...

 

[MegacedU]

I knowwwww it.

 

[SoBad]

^^ Nominate Meg for The Busiest of 2007

 

[Zets147]

Best Avatar? That's easy.

<----- Incredibly Tough

 

[power_play21]

i nominate myself for the member who studied the most this year. my brain hurts.

Loved that last line. So true [shakes head].

Re: Rulo. I was referring to the posturing and the posing. The mugging. The camera angles. The camera being in love with him, only in reverse.

 

[Breaker]

2008 Slice? Did you mean 2007?

Breaker, we are still waiting for the results from 2006 - what's goin' on here??

Keeping everyone in suspense? Best excuse I've got hehe but will reveal the winners.

Funniest: Slice wins with 20 votes, edging out raftermania by 3 votes.

Best Avatar: Mislav and BiGGieStuFF tie with 13 votes each.

Best Thread: Guys Only Thread by Oscar - 51 votes, 36 for the other four candidates combined .

Fastest Serve: Yondan beats drakulie by three votes.

Most Logical: Phil routes Deuce with a score of 25-14.

Most Civil: Andres Guazzelli runs away with 15 votes, second place going to ilovecarlos.

Best Signature: Duzza pulled away with 17 votes.

Best User Name: you cannot be serious! wins by quite a bit with Lakoste coming in second.

Racquet Ambassador: jonolau barely wins with 11 votes, anirut coming just behind with 9.

Most Wanted to Return: Mislav wins by quite a bit with 14 votes.

Most Helpful: Breakpoint defeats a tough field with 11 votes, travelerajm coming in second with 8.

Most informative: The two nominees tie with 10 votes each, Jura and FiveO both sharing the award.

AND FINALLY...THE GOAT!

Four nominees, Marius Hancu, Andres Guazzelli, Breakpoint, and myself, Breaker.

4th place: Breakpoint with 3 votes.
3rd place: Breaker with 4 votes.

The last two only separated by a mere four votes who took the title? The King/God of TTW or the one who has given us all something to search for? Without further ado, the winner is...

MARIUS HANCU - 18 votes
Andres - 14 votes, a valiant effort especially when faced against such tough competition.

 

[BounceHitBounceHit]

Honorable mention: Craig A. Clark for best racquet review.

I am proud to be honorably mentioned. CC

 

[malakas]

agreed! how about youngest poster who posts like a 30 year touring pro.
if i'm not mistaken he's about 12 or 13 years old.

OMG!!Really?Unbelievable!

I also nominate Sobad for something!Perhaps Best cocktail maker!

and Canadian Chic for best thread starter!

Also Zaragoza for best score up-dater!

Maneater for most ....enthusiastic fan.

 

[BiGGieStuFF]

I don't think mislav posts anymore so I'll take the title

 

[Andres]

Also Zaragoza for best score up-dater!

I find this insulting, after LIVESCORING 100 matches point by point, or game by game!

 

[malakas]

I find this insulting, after LIVESCORING 100 matches point by point, or game by game!

I nominate Andres Guazzelli for GOD of TW.

 

[malakas]

One more,
I nominate for the poster with the best avatar Sup2Dresq for the avatar he had till last week.

 

[lorenza]

Maneater for most ....enthusiastic fan.

haha, that's a nice way to put it i guess

 

[diegaa]

I find this insulting, after LIVESCORING 100 matches point by point, or game by game!

you are the best point tracker by sms

 

[Jonnyf]

I'd like to add BEST PLAYER: AsgerHO, most people don't know him but let me tell you this guy is a SERIOUS player. A recent loss was 6-4 7-6 to a guy who played and won some Davis Cup matches in 2005.

 

[soyizgood]

I should be rookie of the year.

 

[Kaptain Karl]

... the winners.
Fastest Serve: Yondan beats drakulie by three votes.

I'd never seen "Yondan" until this post of the winners.

Best Signature: Duzza pulled away with 17 votes.

I just went and looked at Duzza's sig. "I bet he's changed it since the vote" is all I can say.

Best User Name: you cannot be serious! wins by quite a bit with Lakoste coming in second.

With Screen Names like --
... equinox ... TommyGun ... Geezer Guy ... croatian sensation ... alienhamster ... Exile ... Jack the Hack ... Punisha ... Vlad ... oldguysrule ... 007 ... TheTruth ... etc ...
-- I think there were many better choices. (No offense to the winners.)

Re: Rulo. I was referring to the posturing and the posing. The mugging. The camera angles. The camera being in love with him, only in reverse.

Yeah, I am not too sure about that. He’s a fun goodlooking guy, and he’s posting his own pictures in a thread designed for that very purpose. I mean, criticising Rulo’s posting in this fashion to me is almost reminiscent of some people in the TonLars 5.5 strokes thread telling him that his backhand is bad and he is full of himself. If a person has a nice face or nice tennis strokes, it is not right to criticise them for posting those in the appropriate sections of this forum, in my subjective opinion, is all I am saying, I guess.

 

[SoBad]

I just went and looked at Duzza's sig. "I bet he's changed it since the vote" is all I can say.

I think I may have been the one who nominated him for sig, and I think the sig that caught my fancy was something along the lines of "baseline - never miss, middle - never stay, net - never lose".

 

[SoBad]

I nominate Andres Guazzelli for GOD of TW.

Actually, he is one of the greatest. It is probably appropriate to mention in this thread at this time that earlier this year a study was conducted around the forums to determine the Greatest posters of TTW. So for the Greatest category, it will not even be necessary to conduct any more polls, because they have been determined as follows:

1. TonLars
2. Voltron
3. serveitup911
4. Andres Guazelli
5. kingdaddy41788
6. Yondan
7. Zets147
8. Jim Willard

Here is the table with supporting evidence summarising the results of the study. Please disregard the touring pros that appear in the chart (irrelevant for the purposes of our discussion here).

 

[J011yroger]

Better get crackin on these 07 awards, anyone wanna make a new thread for them?

It was a lot of fun last year, I wonder though why Breaker is not doing it this year. I am guessing because it was too much work for one person. Why don’t we try to make it a collective effort this year? I’ll get us started with the categories and nominations, and then once that discussion slows down, somebody (maybe me) or maybe other poster(s), as the case may be, will launch the individual awards threads for voting? I say we give it a try!

Breaker, time to get to work bud.

 

[Zets147]

Zets147 will always be number one in my book.

 

[SoBad]

Zets147 will always be number one in my book.

Are you gonna bother to nominate yourself for all categories in the 2007 thread, or should I do that for you?:-?:shock::|

 

[Zets147]

nominate me please. Since I am the greatest after all.

 

[SoBad]

nominate me please. Since I am the greatest after all.

Sorry if my question was unclear. What I was asking was whether you were going to nominate yourself in the 2007 thread, or whether you wanted me to relay your self-nomination for you (a la intra-thread ambassador). Now the question is moot, since you have already provided "nominations" in the 2007 thread.

 

[Zets147]

please don't tease me. if you want to nominate me for all the categories then please do so. all the nominations will be counted later so every one of them is significant.

 

[SoBad]

^^ actually, you are not allowed to apply pressure like that, that's one of the rules of the awards...

 

[Zets147]

There's no pressure. I'm just instating the fact that since you have the desire to nominate me to be the best (That, I am), then please do so without hesitation.

"Fierce emotions cannot be controlled after all"

 

[SoBad]

OK, can we discuss one issue at a time please? Why do you want me to nominate you for all categories? It would not make sense to nominate you for Best Female, because you are male. Similarly, it would not make sense to nominate you for Most Wanted to Return, because you are not away at present (and were not away for much of the calendar year 2007). Don't you think someone like Zhan (as an example) would be more appropriate?

 

[Zets147]

The 2007 awards should go to the greatest TW member, correct?

I have just answered all of your questions.

 

[SoBad]

^^ No, that's not how it works AT ALL. There are multiple awards for multiple categories. The nominee that gets most votes in a particular category gets the 2007 award for that category.

 

[Zets147]

Yes, if I have to accept the award for "Best Female" then so be it. I can't help it if people fall in love with my fashion sense.

I nominate myself for the Best Buttocks category also.
I have been workin' out on the Butt Buster at the gym, and it really paid off.

 

[SoBad]

^^ OK, I have a suggestion. Let's not derail the TW 2007 Awards discussions, because people are going to get confused, and the process is confusing enough as it is. How about we take the ancillary discussions into the therapy office? I can create it, if you want. And from there we could observe the awards process "from a distance"?
