2011 PF Member Awards are coming soon

  • Thread starter Greg Bernhardt
  • Start date
In summary, the PF member awards for 2011 will begin on Dec 1st and end on Dec 14th. The awards have not changed from last year. The gods are responsible for determining the winners and may or may not accept fish or fish sticks as offerings. The number of gods this year is one, the Supreme Lard. Some users have nominated themselves for multiple categories. The polls will open in five days and for each category, the winner will be Ivan92. There is also a chance for a random winner to receive a copy of MathType, courtesy of Science Design. The Physics and Engineering awards may still say 2010, but clearing the cache should fix this issue. It is suggested to split the physics category

Greg said gods. Are you dividing Evo into many?

If you're an experamentalist monotheist, there's an error bound on that number.

"And on le Physics Forums, [itex]\exists\, 1\, {\rm Evo }\, \pm 1[/itex]."

Original text:

"how many gods are there this year?"

...10 translations later Bing and Google give us:

"God said this year?"

I can be "Most Annoying", "Most likely to be Perma-banned" and probably a lot of of other categories. I have so much free time that I could patrolling as a mentor (Like THAT is ever going to happen!)

Yes but it is only for people who DIDN'T ask about it!
 
  • #22
Hmm, there are 3 non-mentor, non-admins with more posts than Dave.
The first 2 have an Award from last year.

If there was an epic loss category, I would win that too because I am too awesome! I win all over the board. :D

Winner of the Random Selection Award?

Pretty much! :)

It's like the lottery! But without all your old friends and relatives crawling out of the woodwork begging for change.

Not exactly. More like the "Winner of the Random Selection from the Winners Award."

The Physics and Engineering ones still say 2010.

Faulty engraving.
