First topic message reminder :

Welcome to DA Awards nomination for 2016. As per usual, at the end of every year we nominate people for a set of prizes of categories in your opinion they did great at.

During this year we've had to overcome many hardships, most notably the downfall of Dueling Network, but even so, we've all overcome them together. Now, I could go on about how thankful I am to all of you for contributing and spending your precise time here on Duel Academy, making it better and more enjoyable for everyone else, but you'd probably be reading this till 2017 and'd miss out on nominating people for the awards. So to keep it short, thank you for deciding to stay with us here, as apart of our little family.

DA Awards is an event that allows you as an individual to nominate people for prizes - from your perspective they did enough to earn these prizes.

You can nominate 1 person for each prize, you can also use 'N/A' when you don't want to nominate someone for a certain category, for instance:
- Member of the Year (2016): Anzo
- Duelist of the Year (2016): N/A
(These are mere examples)


However, we prefer that you refrain from using too much of "N/A", for it'll make our job a tad harder when counting total nominations and deciding the winner of each category, but it's all up to you.

The categories are as the following:

- Admin of the Year (2016): This prize is given to the person - in your opinion - is the Admin who worked for the better good to assure this community's ever growing growth continues.

- Mod of the Year (2016): This prize is similar to that of an Admin's, only difference, is you'll be nominating the Mod who in your opinion deserves such an award. Someone who has always been there for you when you sought help.

- Assistant of the Year (2016): Similar to the two other awards above. This prize is given the person - in your opinion - did the best among all the other remaining Assistants.

- Member of the Year (2016): This prize is given to the most loyal, active, and friendly member who in your opinion deserves to be entitled member of the year.

- Duelist of the Year (2016): This prize is earned rather than given; however, you're the one who decides who 'earn' this prize. After all, you're the one who decides who has been the best all-around duelist in Duel Academy for this year.

- Artist of the Year (2016): This prize is given to the best artist in this community, someone who always seems to make cool GFX and Tags from time to time.

- Underdog of the Year (2016): This prize is given to someone who started from the bottom and worked his way up to the top of the food chain claiming his righteous place as a real duelist. Someone who was good, then turned great during this year as a duelist.

- Spam-Bot of the Year (2016): O'well, this one doesn't require elaboration, simply put: someone who spams a lot no matter what topic it was. He'll always be there making sure he or she increases his post amount at the end of the day.

- Grammar-Nazi of the Year (2016): The prize is given to the person who, in your opinion, always use proper spellings, and correct others when using improper grammar. Someone that you want to punch in the face using a steel chair each time he tells you to use commas.


Nominations will take place starting today: 14th of December until the 28th of December.
(Note: It's preferable that you provide reasons for why you're nominating each person)

I don't think so, I mean Jolty did but she has a god complex so...


your point is?


So let others vote for you, the point of the awards is others seeing value in a person that makes that person stand out above the rest.


Simple, you cant vote for yourself, my votes for myself will be disregarded, i just put that cos i could, i knew they wouldnt count.

Admin of the Year: @Anzo
Reason: Only admin who has been in the position the entire year. Being prior staff, he may be silent, but I know his role and he runs it well. If not for @DDS recent demotion/step down, it'd be him. @NightBot will more than likely own this in the upcoming year.
Assistant of the Year: @CrimsonOverlord
Reason: He held down the position up until his recent promotion to Mod. Admin in the making? @Anzo
Member of the Year: @Drunkion
Reason: One of the few members that can show up in chat and any active member throughout the year knows, talks to, and duels at almost any given moment. One of the few individuals who is worthy of nominations that has been a regular to DA this year.
Duelist of the Year: @JC the shadow hunter
Reason: Consistent tops in any event he takes part in, strong member in DA War Team, and has held various titles directly related to dueling. Even inactive, I'd bet he can go into a game today and beat most whom consider themselves a top duelist on DA currently. Without a doubt though, @psychoturtle would claim this if he'd not disappeared for some time
Artist of the Year: @Galaksii
Reason: With very few battles to determine this, I wouldn't have thunk he'd show any potential in GFX nor was he into, so it's been a complete surprise to see him topple those I actually know do this regularly here on DA. I'm digging the work I've seen
Underdog of the Year: @Pepchoninga
Reason: I'd have to say I didn't have any expectation with how flamboyant you've been about your dueling skills since day 1, but nevertheless you've impressed me to some extent. Strive to be the duelist of the year by this time in 2017
Spam-Bot of the Year: @Dice Jar
Reason: There isn't a single bot who spams better than this guy

A pointless awards this is anyway; because most of the people are subjective and not objective when it comes to voting.

Members like Dan, Crims and more get unnoticed because some simply like to vote for someone who's been active for 3 weeks total. 

This is all just for an userbar anyway, but I'm just pointing out how silly this is because even when someone could get credit they deserve (like members I mentioned) they don't get it.

I have never won an award during DA's awards, for various reasons. Just saying.

Also - I can't cast votes here, I haven't been active enough this year.

You don't use 'because' after a semi-colon. Just saying. I'll also highlight all of your other grammatical and syntax mistakes.

I'm bored, deal with it.

Carry on.

It's definitely, 100% a popularity contest. For the most part (apart from when I was the Admin in charge of events, in 2014) I worked behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes tends to be good for credibility (as usually people take what I had to say in public seriously) but bad for popularity (as some of the things I did publicly were disciplinary measures, 'bad news' posts, etc).

Personally? I'm not surprised I've never got an award, actually. Remember that the last official year I could have obtained one was 2014. I had to leave back then, thanks to university.

In 2012-2013 I was 100% behind the scenes. In 2011 there was no DA awards.

If the first letter sounds like a 'y' then you use 'a'; using 'an' will sound weird.

Words which start with A, E, I, O, U go with 'an'. No matter if it sounds weird.

Member of the Year:Pepchoninga
Reason:Pepchoninga, is kind of cool, kind of reliable, kind of not really. However, he is a good guy, and very respectable, IMO.
