For some reason, he had concluded that eating this 'cyanide pill' was a very, very bad idea.

Phew! Crisis averted.

He waited for a few moments, before reaching down his pants and inserting it up his anus.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

They are here and now! Awesome!

Congratulations everyone. And I won one award too, TPM Addict. Winning that was my dream. Thanks everyone!

[MeLoVeGhOsTs]

I get the awesome-award either way.

Congrats to all who won! It's about time we kill Gavin now.

[Shadow Wolf]

Well done everyone!

And Gavin, what the hell? :O

[classy_cat18]

Wow, Queen of Fanfic. A title that glorious deserves a statue. MAKE ME A STATUE, LOWLY SERVANTS!

I won't stop with that one award. Ohhh yeah, this calls for some fanfic writin'. I didn't get this light blue screen name for nothing, you know!

[ChobiChibi]

You guys think Blade's funnier than me?! D'aww XD

Actually, I'm happy I was nominated, since I never have been in fanfic before. Thanks guys

[Oslo]

Thanks to those who voted for me. I appreciate it.

Also, hats off to Gavin! Clearly, your awesomeness knows no bounds.

[mistysakura]

*reads community awards list* Some things never change, hehe.

Congrats to everyone who won stuff! Except for me. Um, thanks to everyone who voted for me, but since I'm not really on TPM any more, I'd appreciate it if awards went to people who do stuff now

[Blademaster]

I won stuff...?

Huh... Thanks.

[Asilynne]

Congrats everyone! I didn't even know I was nominated XD I wonder how I would make the universe explode ;D

[Shadow Wolf]

Congrats everyone! I didn't even know I was nominated XD I wonder how I would make the universe explode ;D

Most Likely to Cause The Universe to Explode – Asilynne (Let’s face it, who doesn’t feel at ease with Asi. I think if she were to leave, the universe will definitely explode, XD)

^This

Shonta: No thanks!

Blade: Woot! You won 4 awards dude; and that makes you one of the top winners (putting Gavin aside, though)

Ada: Aww come on! You will always be a part of Fanfic.

On a side note: Blademaster + Dragonfree + mr_pikachu + Chris 2.1 = Gavin Luper

[Asilynne]

^This

Shonta: No thanks!

Blade: Woot! You won 4 awards dude; and that makes you one of the top winners (putting Gavin aside, though)

Ada: Aww come on! You will always be a part of Fanfic.

On a side note: Blademaster + Dragonfree + mr_pikachu + Chris 2.1 = Gavin Luper

Awwwww thanks Louis ;D! You're awesome

[mario72486]

Well, well...I got an award.

Trooper, eh? I'm guessing this is referring to the fact that, even though updates are few and far-between, I still manage to get new chapters of my latest work out once the stars align perfectly...

I do have ideas going for at least half a dozen more chapters, and I've just begun work on the duel for the latest one. Roadblocks have included a change in work schedule and being stuck on rulings for certain cards I want to incorporate. Once I've gathered the necessary info, I can get back on track.
I may not have the available time and speed of Dark Sage, but I do attempt to make each chapter better than the last.

But I've gotten off-subject. As far as the Silver Pencils go, I am both honored and flattered for having received this award. Perhaps if I can get build up some steam and churn out chapters with greater frequency, I can get nominated for a few more awards next time around...

[Sike Saner]

Congrats to everyone due for some congratulating! And thanks for the Best Reader award, as well as for any votes and nominations in general that you threw my way this time around. :3

[Greyfox]

This is very pleasing to me and the four other people who contribute to the webcomic! Thanks, everyone, for nominating and voting for us! Maybe now the website proper will get some viewership.

[Gavin Luper]

^_^ Thank you all very much for your assorted congratulations and death threats. I felt so awful claiming the awards award when I was the one posting the damn thread, but Brian received the bulk of the votes so he can confirm it was totally legit.

And on that note - thank you all very much for your votes and your well-wishes over the years, and for your ongoing support of Lisa the Legend, which is appreciated quite dearly.

Ada: You totally deserve that one, though, along with Sike - you are both excellent readers.

Louis:

Shonta: Congrats on your coronation!

Thanks and congrats again to all the other winners!

Cheers!

[Blademaster]

Four? I thought I got 3.

[Shadow Wolf]

Four? I thought I got 3.

Ugh, my finger slipped. >_<

In any case, you're still one of the top winners.

[Mew Master]

Hmm... lost the Nerdiest award by three votes. I'm surprised I was nominated.... honestly. Thought everyone forgot bout me.

[Becky]

Oh my gosh, I just saw this. Congrats to everyone! I was not expecting best newcomer, there are so many great new members that make a lot of meaningful posts. I'll do my best to contribute more and support the TPM community. ^_^

[Mewfour]

Wow, the awards have become at least somewhat active again. Maybe I should get back in the fold, if only my crippling TF2 addiction would let me...

[Blademaster]

crippling TF2 addiction

You're preaching to the choir, brother...

(Spoiler:) What's your Steam ID?

[Gavin Luper]

Well done again to all the winners! Unsticking this thread.
