Jan-08-13		hms123: <chesstoplay> It has its moments, but doesn't compare to many others. Thanks, though.

Jan-08-13		valiant: I wish to nominate ... For Most Helpful: <Meloncio, Travis Bickle & Frogbert>. Funniest: <Open Defence, Al Wazir, & Colonel Mortimer>. Constructive: <Check It Out, Marmot PFL, & Shams>. Informed: <Achieve, FSR & Rogge>. Historian: <Karpova & Whiteshark>. Best Post: <Al Wazir> "When I spent a winter in Moscow -- I know, I know, Moscow is like Palm Beach compared to Siberia -- I found that the best way to beat the cold was to wear multiple layers of clothing. I used to wear six pairs of long underwear under my regular pants and shirt. All I needed to put on when I went out was a shapka, a topcoat and a pair of galoshes. Of course, then the problem was the Russian practice of keeping buildings heated to ~30 degrees C."

The link will not work if you have an active ignore list and are signed-in to your <CG> account.>> The link you posted won't work, but the link <AI> posted will work for everybody, regardless of ignore lists; it's in a different format.

Jan-08-13		Blunderdome: I nominate <Thanh Phan> for best profile.

Jan-08-13		Sneaky: I nominate the long silent <MorphyMatt> for best Game Collection: Best chess moves ever played. It's a great one.

Jan-08-13		Schwartz: I nominate <Schwartz> , myself, for best username.

Jan-08-13		Everyone: <Schwartz> You cannot fight <Everyone>, but you can make <Everyone> die of laughter.

Jan-08-13		chancho: User: Everyone wants to fight User: everybody

Jan-09-13		LoveThatJoker: Speaking of rest days, "What day did the Lord create Spinal Tap, and couldn't he have rested on that day too?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ruD... LTJ

Jan-09-13		Abdel Irada: <magnifico: its like nominating miss japan for the US presidency.> And I suppose you think that wouldn't be an improvement?

Jan-09-13		Abdel Irada: <magnifico>: You have achieved a first: You are the first user to find his way onto my otherwise empty ignore list. Goodbye.

Jan-09-13		The Caissars: The call for nominations is hereby over! NO new nominations accepted after Jan 8th (sorry Travis et al). Tomorrow voting will begin on <Best Avatar> and <Best Username>. Votes will be counted for the entire day (January 10). Early/late votes will be ignored/deleted. Soon I will post a list of all nominations for these categories in my profile at the top of this page. If (I miss anybody, please let me know!)

Jan-09-13		The Caissars: Important note on voting: in keeping with the spirit of WannaBe's previous efforts, we are going to allow voting for two candidates, if you want to. In such a case your vote will be split with a half-point going to each candidate. Voting on three or more candidates is not allowed however. When you vote, please make sure the word "vote" or "voting" is in your post, and if you don't mind please put the name of your vote in <gold text> by using the <> characters. Thanks.

Jan-09-13		The Caissars: Our official list of nominees for categories 1 & 2 are above. If we have forgotten anybody please let us know before midnight. (Also check out that cool list of avatars, so you know which ones you're actually voting on. Cool huh?) Remember: voting for Best Username / Best Avatar does not start until midnight (server time) at 0:00 EST and will last the entire day of January 10th. So please hold your votes until then!

Jan-09-13		Annie K.: Totally cool. :D

Jan-09-13		andrewjsacks: Just discovered this wonderful page and sorry I missed the nomination deadline. I would have nominated <TheFocus> and <diceman> for funniest kibitzer. I thank both of them for all the high-level merriment this past year. We are a fine threesome. And speaking of which... Never mind.

Jan-09-13		TheFocus: <andrewjsacks> Don't worry. I was nominated. And I nominated you, too! Thanks for the giggles.

Jan-09-13		andrewjsacks: <TheFocus> Thanks, my friend. Also, just en passant, I would say that <Phony Benoni> ought to be a lock for a couple of awards, including Most Helpful. I have also been very favorable impressed by the work of <JessicaFischerQueen>, and a few other worthies here....

Jan-09-13		TheFocus: <andrew> There are a lot of fine and deserving nominees this year. Some people here are really concerned with making this the best place on Earth! There's no place like home. Or the chessboard.

Jan-09-13		Schwartz: Looks like I'm too late to run for best avatar. ☺ /\|\ / \

Jan-09-13		TheFocus: <Schwartz> There's always next year.

Jan-09-13		TheFocus: <Schwartz> There's always next year. We'll all be rooting for ya, Stickman.

Jan-09-13		WannaBe: Two more minutes. =)

Jan-10-13		WannaBe: There's something wrong with the server's time. I vote for <OhioChessFan> for Best Avatar Category.
