I searched (not very) far and (not very) wide for a chocolate kitten .gif, but alas, no luck.

I assume this isn't the chocolate kitten you're looking for?

@Greg Bernhardt : will you be including an award for the sexiest member? I'm sure we can find a way to be shallow and superficial with that kind of an award. :)

@Evo : I'm thinking of having a chocolate fondue and dipping kittens into it? Are you in?

You can't have an award for something that I've obviously had for a while now. :biggrin:

One more day! One more day until I'm voted Supreme Overlord of the world!

Remember, vote for Drakkith and receive a free kitten! Vote for the other guys and a kitten gets sent to the glue factory... To maintain the machinery. Their tiny paws can get into tight places you know.

I would vote for you, but I don't think there is a "strongest megalomania" award.

You don't vote for that. You need to recruit an army. Then pillage and plunder your way to victory. And btw, World? pfffft, try Universe! :biggrin:

Well, he also continues to refuse to put one up for grumpiest, probably because he knows it would be pointless since I'd win hands down.

Announcement: To better express the purpose of these member awards the staff has decided to allow each member to select up to 3 nominees to vote for in every poll. This has been implemented due to so many members having a hard time deciding between a few members. Really they should all be appreciated. Now it's possible. If you've already voted, head back into the poll threads and under the poll there is a "change vote" button. Enjoy! Spread the love!

Polls are now closed. In the end there were a few nail biters. Everyone nominated should feel proud. I'll say this again, the list for each category could be 10x longer. There are so many members that make valuable contributions. Reluctantly we can't list them all. Thanks for making it a great 2016! The award ceremony will be tomorrow!
