2012 Unown Awards: Wrapping this up before the end of the world

[Jeff]

Welcome to the results of the 2012 Unown Awards!

The winners are highlighted in gold, with any runners up in silver below them, so you can see who came closest to winning. If you won any, feel free to put your trophies either in your sig or in this thread. I'd like to give a special thanks to Lady Vulpix for raising the image limit to 30 and making my job a bit easier. Also, thank you to everyone who participated, and if the world doesn't end in a few weeks, I look forward to seeing everyone again in the 2013 Unown Awards!



This first achivement goes to:
Achiever - Becky (3,7)

Columnist - Chris 2.1
Runners up: CaSe SeNsItIvE - RaZoR LeAf, Capsule - Mikachu Yukitatsu, Cicero - (group nomination) Anyone who has screwed up BIG TIME (2)


Was a second vote a diplomatic solution to a tie? Well, it worked here:
Diplomatic - Greyfox (2,8)
Tied with: Deal with it – Crystal Tears (3)


How about an Unown to go with that ring?
Engaged - Kuro Espeon (2,6)
Tied with: Engaging - Lady Vulpix (3), Even Worse Than Roy - Dark Sage (2)


This one goes to a fan of a long-running RPG series:
Final Fantasty - Weasel Overlord (4)
Runner up: Friendly - Asilynne (3)


Another year, another Gamer award. This one goes to:
Gamer - Knight of Time (3)
Runners up: Goofball - Perfect Chaos, Guston - Heald (2)


To tell you the truth, here's our next winner:
Honest - Blademaster (3)

Here I am, reporting live from the 2012 Unown Awards, as I go up to accept one myself:

From knowing all the birthdays, to providing a wealth of statistics and other info in various threads, this one goes to:
Knowledgeable - kurai (4)
Runner up: Keystone Killer - Mew Master (2)


You won't catch our next winner using Windows:
Linux - Telume (5)
Runner up: Lovable Lesbian - Ayeun (2)


He was a brony before it was cool:
Me loved ponies first - RedStarWarrior (3,8)
Tied with: Missing in Action - MeLoVeGhOsTs (4)


I'd announce the next winner, but it seems like he's already snuck up on stage and taken his award, oh well:
Ninja - DarkestLight (4)
Runner up: Newlyweds - (group nomination) Everyone who got married this year (2)


The guy with "shadow" in his name, who looks on the bright side:
Optimist - Shadow Wolf (3,6)
Tied with: Original – mattbcl (4)


From New York City to Montana, that's... progress? Well, it is when you have an awesome job!
Progressive - DarkestLight (3,6)
Tied with: Photogenic - mvtm (6)


So did our next winner get this award due to his regalness? Or is it his love of drag queens? Or maybe it's just because he's gay? Whatever the reason, he won this royal showdown:
Queenly - Magmar (3,7)
Tied with: Queen - Andrew (4)


She may have lost the sudden death round, but the camera still loves our next winner:

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

YES!

I AM INFINNCIBLE!

Congratulations to other winners, too!

[Lady Vulpix]

Yay! Behold the power of the Tea!!

I mean... thanks to everyone who voted for me, and congratulations to everyone who won, and everyone who was nominated!

By the way, the Mayan calendar has already finished and restarted.

[Shadow Wolf]

Ah, well... I guess I can't say that I'm a pessimist anymore now. Thanks for the votes and for the support everyone. To be honest, if you consider me to be an optimist guy, its because I have friends who have encouraged me to be like that, so thanks.

Congratulations everyone.

[ChobiChibi]

YES. X. I secretly love the infamy I've caused myself, but ssh, don't tell anyone...

Thank you I'm sorry I was so lame about the whole nomination and voting and tiebreaking and everything. So I appreciate this muchly!

Next time I WILL win adorbz, damnit XD

[Gavin Luper]

Congrats to all the winners, especially Gabi and DarkestLight who bested me in the tiebreakers!

And kudos to Jeff for running the awards, well done mate!

[DarkestLight]

o.O I am a winner. Twice, holy crap! Thanks alot! Really appreciate it. Ha...yeah need to make a new sig now...

[Knight of Time]

Well well, my second straight year with a trophy...I'm flattered.

Thanks everyone for voting for me, especially your nominations for Gamer...it floored me when I saw that Fett One and I were receiving nominations for the same award, so I have to give him kudos too. Honestly, it couldn't have gotten any closer than it did...I have a funny feeling in the upcoming years, I wouldn't be surprised if there was another award nomination in the future with both my name and Fett One's on it.

Looks like this trophy will go well beside my Zelda trophy from last year, hehe.

[Jeff]

If anyone needs a link to a past year's Unown award image from 2007-2011, let me know. I have the 2011s uploaded to Imageshack, and it wouldn't take much to upload the rest.

[Kuro Espeon]

Eeeee~ Thanks everyone! -^^- This has been an awesome year for me already (depsite my agonies over my job) and I appreciate the love! Even though I've been rather...umm....absent lately.... at least in the posting department. *cough* I'm putting "uping my post count" on my New Year's Resolution list...

Anyway, Thanks again! And Congrats to all of the other winners and nominees! <3 You all rock!

[RedStarWarrior]

Thanks and congrats!

Jeff, I'd like to help with the icons for next year (have an idea, ttyl).

[RedStarWarrior]

BTW, all but this results thread will be archived within a week. I'll archive this thread at the end of the year.

[Andrew]

Can you even catch wild Unown in Black/White?

[Magmar]

Thanks and woohoo yay thank you!

@YARASOFIAPR

[Asilynne]

Congrats everyone! I consider it an honor to just be nominated, so thanks for that too

[Lady Vulpix]

Yes, I also think that being nominated is an honor by itself. And you deserve it, Asi. You're great.

[Andrew]

And for those of us who didn't even get nominated? Two years in a row?

[Asilynne]

[Asilynne]
