URPG 2015 Awards!

URPG 2015 Awards!
(get pumped)​

Hey pals! It's that time again (and six days late) to vote for your favorite, best, and all time things of URPG from this past year! Woooo! Let's look back on all of our favorite memories we've created together as a community from this past year. From dramatics, to WARs and WaRs, competitions and tournaments, let's see what we can recall and earn a nice incentive for saying you like things in URPG! I know I like things in URPG! URPG! U R Pretty Groll! #meangirls. Remember to not vote for your friends only (even though we're all friends here); be honest! If you'd like to keep these votes private, then you go ahead a PM it to me, no biggy brah. At the end we'll see who gets the most votes for the most things and best things and whatnot; like when Glen Coco got 4 candy canes- you go Glen Coco! Be Glen Coco, and go! Vote! Woo!



Rules:
- You must be part of the URPG.
- You may vote for up to two people in each category.
- You can't vote for yourself.
- This is only about 2015. Think about the whole year and no other years, if you can.
- This is only about URPG—not other boards on the forum.
- Reply in this thread only with your votes, or PM your votes to me. If you want to talk about the voting, you can post in the URPG General Chat. Any off-topic posts will be deleted.
- Voting will end February 6th, 2016 at 11:59pm CT (Central U.S. Time 'cause I'm Nebraskan yo). The results will be tallied up by me, and they'll be posted probs the next day or even at midnight 'cause I'm a nerd with time.
- Winners are honored in the Respect Hall for the whole year. They don't get any money though.
- As incentive, anyone who votes gets $3,000. You can only add this to your stats when the results are posted.
- Note: "Best" means the most skilled, where "Favorite" means your personal favorite.

Fastest Growing Member: dylanpiera
Most Helpful Member: WinterVines. I think I'm past the point where I need a helper in most areas of URPG, but she's helped me become a better curator and artist, two aspects in which I'm quite new.
Most Dedicated Member: There are a lot of people I'd put in this category--pretty much anyone who's been active since the BMG move. I think the most prominent one right now is Ash.
Most Intelligent Member: I feel like I can't answer this one.
Wish You Were Here: Bryce, Stinky, Jax, iReign, to name a few. But since this is only about 2015, I'll go with DarknessRuler!
Favorite Pokemon: Since I HAVE to pick something, I'll go with Ampharos.
Favorite Type: Fairy
Fondest Memory: I bid 20k on the Slowpoke (sorry late) -- also not 2015, so I'll go with that one time I beat Ash in a battle.

Also I'd like to point out Ely put Syn down and right after Syn put Ely down, gg.

Fondest Memory: Wow so many memories, so long a year! You guys had some good memories to share, like git gud, seppe's feeding to drama free tourny's being run by Felly and CommBa taking “absolute NUKEM Murkrow and then Ash going for like 3 NUKEMs that (he) had right after.” Others were moments “we” wanted to start this new thing called After Hours and peeps giving the go ahead, Discord becoming a thing, to PV “fluking” his way to 3rd place in the gym tourny, people meeting new people, swifty having some wonderful ice cream, etc.

We'll never forget those moments were Ely destroyed every tourny/comp that she touched, the gym tournies and other good bracket tournies, iSketch and bitching sessions, good “jim” and e4 battles, that one time Elrond beat Ash in battle, and especially any battle without Mega Evolutions or +6Def/SpD/Eva Octilleries without max Ems. Some people favored lurking the Stories and Art sections, others enjoyed chillin' with peeps on AIM , and to some masochists being brought nothing but misery (coughMonbreycough). Also something about potatoes.

What a good year guys, much laughs, many squabbles, good times man... Well we've done it for one more year, let's do it again for another!! Here's to 2016 being a great year for us as a community and to each of your individual selves! May the wind be at our backs and the sun upon our faces!
