The GNamer Forum Annual Awards 2016

Trump is the only President to be in the Hall of Fame.

I hate myself because I know I'd have forgiven Trump everything if he'd entered the Royal Rumble.

Entering at #30 in the Rumble, it's your boy JayMoyles... and to say thanks for being patient, he's jumping off the top rope and delivering a vicious one-two combo of the results of TWO categories tonight.

Feast your eyes on the results for the Avatar and Signature of the Year awards!

The Robin from Fire Emblem Award for Avatar of the Year (12 votes, although some only gave one choice out of two)



It's the faces that run the place - these little pictures are often what most folks remember you by when you're posting on the forum, so it's important to make sure you've got one that leaves a lasting impression. And clearly, some of them have! Let's take a look at the results.

Third Place:

Second Place:

Grand Champion:

Your host chimes in!:

Moving on!

The Princess Peach Award for Signature of the Year (nine votes)



Much like your avatar, a signature is an important part of your forum identity too. It's often the last thing people read when finishing reading your posts, so it's important to get that right. These fine folks have done just that.

Third Place:

Second Place:

WINNER!:

I say!:

Good stuff folks! More to come tomorrow night.

I had a sneaky feeling me and Muss would win the avatar one. Fully deserved, mind! Excellent artistry. It's my award. MINE!

And I'm taking Jas' signature award when I add up all my second places I always win

Being sandwiched between Muss & Cappa is a good place to be or you could say that Moo Moo Meadows is the meat of signatures, thanks for the votes guys!

Hey! Clearly the third person who voted for me didn't decide what's better, Moo Moo meadows or your drunken posts? Tbh that is a tough one.

Hey now - you've already claimed Muss's win for AotY, you can't take Jas's accolades too.

Jay Quote:

Totally worthy winners, says I. On the other hand, I've not backed a winner yet.

Glad somebody caught that.

Big publishers like drunkalindustries have no respect for the work of talented artists like me and Jas. Sad

That Cappa's signature, brilliant though it is, won in 2016 when it was created in 2015, is a searing indictment of our signature quality this past year. Don't make me bring back the awful puns gents.

On the avatar, are we going to get a list of also-rans? I know I gave one point to an avatar not in those awards. Or was it just me? (If I'd had a third vote, mind, it would have gone to Cappa's. What a blinder that was.)

Balla's right we need more hilarious and original signatures.

Got my vote.

It's time to laugh, friends.

The Jimmy P. Award for Funniest Forumite of the Year (12 votes)



A shoe-in in recent years, but I think the forum as a whole has stepped it up with the funnies this year. Let's have a look at which of our funnymen you thought were dropping the humour-bombs this year.

Third Place:

Second Place:

King of Comedy:

More to come tomorrow!

The King of Second Place continues his march to forum domination! Just call me Buzz Aldrin.

After two years in a row, I couldn't possibly begrudge the mighty Jimbob, for whom I've voted on multiple occasions. He seems to effortlessly make the kind of jokes I'd have to spend days articulating over to come close to. Also, many of my drunken or blunt moments wouldn't have been half as funny without a dry Jimbob follow-up. We're a good bunch here, aren't we? Here's to many more lols in the future!
Props to my boy Muss, as well.

This time I've backed a winner, and I'm so, so pleased for him. Continue the great fight, Jimbob.

I remember when I used to be funny! And contribute! You kids ain't got no respect for your elders!

Thoroughly deserving winner. Thanks to those who found me amusing, although I'm surprised the kid didn't make the top 3. I always find it tough to choose between him, Jim, and the gravy mishap man for this vote.

Yass! Meaning no disrespect to the twice-crowned king of humour, Drunkalilly, and indeed I don't think you could disrespect him after two stonking victories. But Jimbob's sense of humour has always been a bit more aligned with my own, and I'm chuffed to see him finally recognised with a gong/crown/little statue thing/whatever.

Again, though - who was the twelfth vote for? Inquiring minds demand to know!

I'm not planning to reveal the many, many runners-up of the other categories, but seeing as there was only one for the funnymen award, I can exclusively reveal it was given to Cappa!

And now...

The Breath of the Wild Award for Tagline of the Year (11 votes, although some ballots were spoiled by either having duplicate votes or voting for taglines that don't exist)



Taglines are probably one of the more memorable aspects of the forum, and it's another chance for us to flex our comedic muscles or deliver a message to the forum at large. Here are your favourites!

Third Place:

Second Place:

Champion!:

I say!:

Pssst...

Spoiler:

Also, the winning tagger was so funny that I didn't laugh - I just had to marvel at how brilliant it was.

Right, so . . . he'd call her "Han" for short, and he'd say "Come on", or, in Scottish abbreviated parlance, "Mon Han!".

...oh.

With all due respect to whoever came up with the Litten tagline the "Mon, Han" one has been robbed.

You know what, I'm just happy Athrun won something.  Me, Mas, Drunka, Cappa, Bibbity Bob Bob - we've been voting for years, we'll probably always be voting, so long as we don't deluge Cappa in any given year with fifty 'vote for your favourite Fire Emblem character' threads.  Really glad to see somebody who perhaps needs a bit more persuading to vote, coming away with an award.

I voted for the Jimbob classic, mind.  Sad to see we won't be getting to read the runners-up, enjoyed browsing those in previous years.
