2015 Unown Awards: And this year's awards go to...

[Jeff]

Welcome!

Bet you all missed me! While Gabi has done an excellent job hosting this year's Unown Awards, she asked that I still present them, so I agreed. Our only other option was Steve Harvey, and you can all imagine how that would've turned out.

Anyway, it's finally time to give the final results of the 2015 Unown Awards, and present this year's trophies. Speaking of which:

Before we get started, I'd like to thank, as always, Kevin for creating TPM, as well as past year's hosts Dark San and Number1ChanseyFan and of course this year's host Lady Vulpix for taking over for me while I've been hard at work finishing college and dealing with the rest of my busy life. Having one less thing to do has been a huge weight off of my shoulders, and I can't express enough how much I appreciate it. And of course, thanks to all of you for nominating, voting, voting again, and giving that last sudden death vote to break that one stubborn tie we seem to get every year.

And now, on a more somber note, I want to start this ceremony by remembering a member of our community who left us too soon. Rio, aka Pichu Luver, lost her battle with cancer this past year. She left us with one last memory of her fun and upbeat personality with her thread titled "Fin (http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=27157)" It was a thread that represents how we will always remember her, and I could think of no better way to honor her memory in this year's Unowns than to give her Unown F for "Fin"
Fin - Pichu Luver

And now, our next winner has finally emerged from the Dark World to claim Unown A

Thanks, Jeff! (Or perhaps I should say Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff Jeff!) That was an excellent award ceremony! :keke:

And thanks again to everyone who participated to make this possible, and a personal thank you to those who nominated me and voted for me. :)

Oh, and the Unowns look awesome this year!

[firepokemon]

Yay congratulations to the winners.

[Fett One]

Where do we go to get the picture to post in our signature line?

[Magmar]

The unowns are freaking adorable! Great work, Jeff and Gabi, on keeping this tradition alive. Thanks for the nomination and the votes ;) Hopes and dreams, woot woot!

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

Congratulations to everyone! Great work on the pictures.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Requiescat in pace Pichu Luver :(

But congratulations everyone who won or got nominated. And thanks for the 'Image' award!

[Jeff]

[Lady Vulpix]

Oops! Sorry, for some reason I thought that was the W.

[Austrian ViceMaster Alex]

Thank you!

[SupremeChampion]

thanks for the award/nomination, this made me smile IRL. I never won an Unown award before haha. Jeff these award designs are really awesome, and congrats to all the winners!

Wow! Thanks everybody for their warm reception!

[classy_cat18]

Zoo. That's cool. Is it because I'm wild? Am I wild? Still, it's cool.

Also, I'm still writing.

[Drusilla]

Wowee, took fifteen years but I got an Unown Award? Huzzah! I'm surprised that I'm still remembered... Though I am pretty darn punny.
Xoxo

Suppose I should do my signature update for the year while I'm here. =p

[Link]

Congrats!^^

[Jeff]

A bit of shameless self promotion (in my own thread), but I've started a thread on the history of the Unown Award designs in FanArt. I plan on sharing some info on how I came up with each design as well as sharing some prototypes. So far, it's up to 2009, but I'll keep it updated until I get to the current designs. Here it is if you want to check it out!

That is a good summary, Jeff! Congrats on you having time to post this to everyone here!!:)

[Number1ChanseyFan]

Thank you so much Jeff and Gabi for running the awards, and for everybody that voted for me!! Magenta is just the perfect award for me!!

[RedStarWarrior]

Jeff, I need the link to last year's awards. I forgot I add it to my signature.

[The Blue Avenger]

Huh, I won one after all these years, and it was entirely because I left and then came back after a while. Obviously this means I should do that more often. Maybe 10 years from now, I can get the coveted "Return of Return of Hypotenuse."

[Knight of Time]

Thanks everyone, I'm not surprised I won the 2015 Unown ? award, I mean, if I get a popular game, it would be kinda against my principles to not look for fellow players of that game here.

But, I can't resist asking a question, although it has nothing to do with games...can someone give me the link to the pic of this Unown, please? I plan to give my signature an overhaul at some point so that I can get back all the pics of every Unown award I won here.

[Jeff]

Scott, here you go! Sorry it took too long, kept slipping my mind. Here's the one you got this year as well.

Yeah, Comrade again http://www.pokemasters.net/forums/showthread.php?t=27087

Also, Knight of Time, here's yours.

Haha, I'm always getting that.
