I didn't wanna post right next to Chewy cause he voted for my character and now I'm gonna vote for his, so people may think we're sleeping together, but what the hell... we were gonna tell you guys eventually anyway...

I believe we need a new category here, reflective of some of the things that go on when creative wires get crossed: Best Pissing Match. So here's my vote.

'Best Pissing Match: Chewy/Euro-EPS/Euro/Walker

Yeah, that was a good one...

Mmmhhh... but I wouldn't dismiss the Euro/Doctor/Gooz-Euro/Dirk/Turner so easily.

Yeah, another good one, but I was under the assumption that one was ineligible due to the only FINISHED issues being eligible to vote on. . .or was I wrong there?

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Heh. :lol:

In the wise words of one Mr. Sulu, "OH MY!"

shouldnt that be MS.Sulu :lol:

Oooh, I have a "Best line":

"Don't you think I look good in an elf costume?"

:lol: :lol: Does that actually work for you, Mxy?

"Hey, baby, ever done it with a guy who has a skull for a face?" :lol:

four years, no prize

Actually, it's only been two years, Bobo.

...but you're still not getting a prize...

Damn skippy!

And thats the Truth By Gob.

As fun as bashing Kaufampshen is, let's stay at the topic at hand. Here are the winners(I assume everyone who's going to has voted):

BEST POSTER: Mxy

MOST IMPROVED POSTER: Mxy

BEST CHARACTER: tie: Mxy and Danny

BEST NEW CHARACTER: Grimm

BEST SUPPORTING CHARACTER: tie: Agent Turner and Kit Piper

BEST VILLAIN: Dr. Knell

BEST STORY: Hero Revolution #8: Obsidian Illumination

BEST ONE-SHOT/SOLO STORY: EPS: Revolution

Mxy, get a Robbie. You know where it is!

*Grabs the Robbie*

*Walks to the podium*

*Reaches for something in his jacket pocket*

*Takes a folded piece of paper*

*Unfolds it*

*Reaches for his pocket again*

*Takes a couple of glasses*

*Puts them on*

*Coughs*

*Starts reading*

"Thanks"

*Runs away waving his arms*

I think I just won my very first Robbie, too (for Kit Piper), after so many years, except the sharing thing kinda bugs me. Should Gooz and I work out a system where one of us gets the Robbie one week and the other gets it the following week? Well, I guess it's better than slicing it in half...

I am very glad to hand over my title of Best Poster to a poster such as Mxy, who has entertained us so much over the last year with great posts and true storytelling in its purest form.

Just remember Mxy, when ever you tell some one that you are Best Poster, it has to be bold or it does not count.

Congrads buddy :)

And TTT, I sorta like the idea of slicing in half...
