The GNamer Forum Annual Awards 2014! (Thanks for Playing!)

(one vote each)

=Dusty Knackers



"Had good chat, basically. He’s always been a very readable and humourous poster who helped make this place and NGamer that bit more homely. Come back!"

=JayMoyles



"It was going to be JayMoyles but they both turned up not that long ago! I can't really vote anyway since I was missing at the start and towards the end of last year. Ill go with JayMoyles since he turned up after the calendar role."

=nupkin



" "

(Also, one struck-out vote.  I saw it though, don't worry!)

=SuperPaperLink



"Hey, what happened to SuperPaperLink?"  (Anyone? - Ed.)

beemoh (four votes)



"This was going to be Stu, but thank goodness he’s returned at the last moment! In terms of who we’ve lost in 2014 I think it’s going to be a two-way tie between Beemoh and Axis1500 for me, the forum certainly doesn’t feel the same without their presence."  (I'm a nasty person and made this forumite choose one way or the other.  He went for beemoh, but Axis1500: know that you too were missed - Ed.)

"Very funny chap with a lot of insightful things to say. Judging by some comments on Twitter too, doesn't seem like he'll back either. "

"Where is our Beems at? Where'd he go? I feel SO ALONE without him "

"With everyone flooding back I can't even be sure who counts any more, but Beemoh is definitely a missed forumite."

Stu_the_great (five votes)



"An unhappily tough choice to make, but Stu was a perfect gentleman on the forum, a source of fine posts and intelligent comments.  Sadly missed...  What?  He's back?  Oh well: he returned in 2015, so it still applies to 2014!"

"For 2014... Stuart T. Great, take a bow. And an arrow. Shoot that target over there."

"He was gone for half a year and, in that time, half a year passed without him. If Stu doesn't count then I vote nupkin because she seemed nice."

"It just didn't feel the same without him around."

"I've missed his presence."  (And since he didn't turn up for the Secret Santa, you've also missed his presents! - Ed.)  (You're fired - Ed-in-Chief.)

A lot of great forumites left in 2014, sadly.  I thought this would be a three-way dog-fight between Stu, Jay, and beemoh - only happily, two of them turned up!  Possibly confusing things.  They definitely still counted, though, their grand re-entries being after the change of year.

While such prestigious forumites as Dusty and Jay arguably deserved more than one vote each, I can't argue with the winner.  Only I can, because he's back on the forum.  Green Day are rubbish, Stu, and welcome back!

=TENDERLOIN used MINIMISE! TENDERLOIN's evasion rose! (two votes)

"The finest of the Tenderloin Minimise taglines - great thinking."

=Ooh, look at me, I'm a tagline, I'm at the top of all the pages (two votes)

=What does Mario use when he's shopping? A Mario Kart. (two votes)

Who watches the watchmen? Buska. Who watches the Buska? Your mum. She likes what she sees. (three votes)

"Hilarious, pure and simple."

Roses are red, Violets don't criticise. Overusing an injoke, Tenderloin Minimise. (four votes)

"As the fallout from Drunka's great post subsided, the final TM tagline was the best of the bunch."

(one vote each)

Commended and commented

For Wright's Sake Luke SHUT UP!!

Hey! What if GNamers were squids?
"Splatoon's reveal gave us a lot of great taglines, but sometimes, the simple ones are the best."

Ooh, I hope Lake Hylia and Zora's Domain and the Kokiri Forest are all going to be OK. What? Oh, Hyrule WARRIORS...
"This was a funny trend of tagline. Admittedly, this was the only one I understood from the start."

S**t me it's Vidofnir
"It is quite nice to have a personalized tagline, Ill put it as my 3rd fave as to not seem like an egomanic. This has totally killed the anonymity hasn't it?"  (Certainly has, Jaster - Ed.)

Swing, Kong, Merrily On High
"The best of the Christmas taglines - a light touch that transforms the sentiment always wins."

Tepig Quite Onix I Jynx Anorith of these Scizor Torterra Balladeer
"The ambition of this tagline seals the top spot for me."

And the others...

All these puns are smashing.

What a Drunk Aussie Would Say to a Gamer

This was the year of the Drunkalilly tagline: the top two spots and one of the third places were invented or inspired by him.  Beemoh also had a good showing, being behind three of the podium placers.  Sigh...

Me, I'm chuffed that we've got all the podium placings filled, and first place especially went to a corker.  The only thing I'd ask for is more comments next year!

I voted for Stu

For me, it was a straight fight between beemoh and Stu (with apologies to Dusty and Axis, who are fine forumites, and many others). beemoh is an incredible wit, as we know, but is also very erudite: I remember reading a post of his arguing that the best noise in gaming was actually the silence between the third shake and the click of a Poké Ball, and it was amazing stuff. If he never returns, then there is a big hole in the forum (if you ever read this, beemles, I hope I haven't embarrassed you!).

But Stu - and I equally hope not to embarrass him - is the beating heart of the forum. His return simply indicated how much we'd been missing in his absence.

Nothing but the howling void

"No vote, I ain't a fan"  (Don't let Reggie catch you saying that - Ed.)

=Sylveon (one vote)



"If you have the patience to change to pink text..."

=The Christ (one vote)



(No comment, just appreciation.)

=Gogoata (three votes)



"Plenty of posts and a great impression made."

"There hasn't been a lot of alt. account action this year, disappointingly, but the grassy goat stepped (trotted?) up to the mark with his beery bleatings.  I do occasionally worry about Shanks, though."

=Reggie Fils-Aime (three votes)



"I'm voting for Reggie again, because I miss him."

"Reggie. If not applicable then none of them."

There's not been much alt. action this year, which might be a good thing; but prior to May, The Christ managed to squeeze in four posts and Reggie five, and both Pokémon popped up throughout the year.  One of GNamer's funniest aspects in my view, and it'd be a shame to see it disappear.  Maybe "A Heron" should make its return...

Incidentally, maybe The Christ shouldn't post too much in the near future: his current rank is "Tingle's Dingle", which I feel he would appreciate.
