"The Process" for phrase

[k-slice]

DD here are my nominees:

1. the Cricket Guru:Achutank
2. MVP- Kban
3. Funniest member- Jiet/Pietersan
4. Best thread- Punchlines considering this was the first thread where even sworn enemies were laughing with each other rather than at each other.yeah modestly, whats that??
5. Rookie of the season: Vincent
6. legend-Gouravk (screw anyone who starts their own shady Dg and tries poaching members from here) wait he failed miserably but still!
7. Most liked member-this one is going to shock people but: Mock turtle( even though i dislikeD her i have seen most folk here dont)
8. greatest rivalry-Fever Vs fineleg
9. phrase-i have 15000 runs said the southpaw.

[jaat69]

My nominations:

Funniest member-: Flute202020 ( his thread on "Pro-SG vs anti-SG: Progressive and non-progressive India divide", being my reference point).

Best thread: Well, actually there are many. I remember discussing various rules of galli-cricket in one thread. Was it in this DG or the Arjun Swaroop-one?

Rivalry: Not sure, whether to call it the best or not...............Gauravk & Blwe_torch( they started threads on each others' name...."Blwe's predictions" & "Gauravk's God-speak").
Also, Kban and Flute202020....going by the sheer volume discharged. It would put both Homer and Ved Vyas to shame! .......in riverine terms, it is like Amazon vs Nile!


btw...by suggesting to keep asside tainted members, I have discounted my own chance too....plz note!

[kban1]

Please add to the nomination list:

Funniest member -- Mock Turtle
Favorite phrase -- Process

Cross posting for reference:

Folks,
One thing - when the "actual voting" time comes - please leave the voting on atleast for like 9 or 10 days. Say a weekend + following week + next weekend.
Becos some ppl visit this DG on and off, some have to travel etc etc. So, in order to give proper time for folks to vote, allocate enough time for the poll booths to be open since afterall this is Cyberworld.

Cool as it may be to do short span or realtime voting, it is not practical.

[kban1]

Fineleg, cross posting not needed.

To all:

Please do not post anything other than nominations or new nomination categories here. I have already split this thread 4 times.

If anyone else posts messages here that should go in the other thread, I shall be left with no other option but to delete these messages.

[pieterSAN]

Some more additions...

Most balanced member: Keep-it-cool
Non-sports contributer: Mock-T
Most Loyal Fan: Ravi1010 (Ganguly)

[ramshorns]

Can we please add Fineleg and Losing Now for the most balanced view category.

Also there need to be a category for "Unique writing Ability".  I would nominate Feverpitch for that.  I know he makes you feel that he is kind of an outlaw and he spurs up a controversy with his posts.  I know few people had issues, but the bottomline is I like his style of writing though I disagreed with his posts and had objections with very few of them.  Neverthless......

[kban1]

Best writing ability / style:
Feverpitch (thought provoking)
CLR James (The CLR of the DG)
Colonel (lucid and flluent)
Achutank (original & inventive)
Dlykjan (lmaster of logic - where is he ?)
Pietersan (wit & sarcasm)
Mock Turtle (wit & sarcasm)
Oracle (eloquent - remember him ?)


Additions to Most balanced member:
K-slice (on cricketing issues for sure)
Dlykjan

[ranjit]

I'd like to nominate kwatra for best rookie.

[Jai]

Here's my choice:

1) The Cricket Guru -
Kban1

2) MVP -
Kban1

3) CricketVoice's Funniest Member -
Dhruvdeepak (occasionally), gouravk (always)

4) CricketVoice's Best Threads/ Discussion Topics -
None in particular

5) CricketVoice's Best Rookie -
prfsr (not sure whether he/she can be considered a rookie though)

6) CricketVoice's Legend -
Kban1

7) CricketVoice's Most Liked Member -
SG (will leave out the USA part)

8 ) CricketVoice's Greatest Rivalry -
Kban1 - flute202020 (to include this pair with others doesn't really do justice to the quality of their discussions)

9) CricketVoice's Favorite Phrase -
-The Process

10) CricketVoice's Most Balanced Member (Viewpoints):
None

11) CricketVoice's Best Non-Sports Contributor:
Can't think of anyone

12) CricketVoice's Most Loyal Fan:
Justforkix (Kaif) ( I won't be surprised if he builds a temple....err dargah for Kaif). Ram's Laxman fascination is a close second.

13) CricketVoice's Best Writer:
CLR James & kban1

PS: Why are we only voting for the 'Best'? Why not the worst ones too? May be we don't need nominations, but can certainly define the categories and let people vote. Or do we not want to name someone in a worst category? I don't think it's really a bad idea as long as the categories are well defined. That way the people named in these categories will have some clues about where they are going wrong.

[kban1]

AND FOR THE LAST TIME  - THESE DISCUSSIONS BELONG ON THE OTHER THREAD, NOT THE NOMINATIONS THREAD  - PPLLLLEEEAZZZE!!!

[MockTurtle]

I would like to nominate Kban for a new category "Best shoulders in the DG to cry upon"   

[fineleg]

Category Nominee: "Best Deviation of topic in a Thread" - meaning a thread that was started to talk abt something, then moved onto totally another topic, then to something else, and when thread finishes has no semblance whatever to the original topic.
Many threads may qualify! But, which is the absolute best?

Actually i have noticed that this is happening pretty much with every thread these days. And i am responsible for just about half of them

[jaat69]

k-slice needs to be added to the list of ...most balanced members(viewpoint)

[jaat69]

I can suggest one more category:

The Member you miss most-:

My nominees...Sahir, Senthilpeter, Devatha, vsiddharth, Oracle, Cardus.

What abt Teddy and Tombaan?

[sgusa]

What abt Teddy and Tombaan?

Teddy is never missed since he is always with us ( just not sure what ID )

[Blwe_torch]

Most loyal fan":

Kban (Ganguly)....needs to be added IMO.
My own nomination in this category makes me very happy.
Thanks for the nominator.

Also, I nominate Kban for the Most liked member category.

[ramshorns]

I was looking into the nominations. One name that is conspicuosly missing from the balanced view category is Toney.  Please add him to the list.

If we are calling balanced by virtue of being "pro" or "anti" Ganguly, neither of those names fit the bill...nor do most of the other names really. When it comes to Ganguly...

Inn that case I would like to propose Dexy as the most balanced member of the DG (specially on the topic of Ganguly).

Dex:I think this thread was not for debates as per Kban1.  Hence do not want to debate here.  It is upto DD and you guys, to include the names I nominated.

[fineleg]

Nomination:

DD, can u pl. add Ramshorns to the balanced view category - infact in the fans list before we got to know abt other fans, I first got to know that Rams is a die hard VVS fan. But inspite of that, he has never pushed VVS case as a blind fan, he has only debated merits, and has also advised VVS shud not be in ODIs (depending on current form or other options of players) in many threads. That is very balanced.

So, please add Rams to that list of balanced views on cricket.
