I'm not sure if this has been done here, but I saw it on another forum and it created mayhem and ill-will, so I thought it might be fun here too.

You fill out the form in the second post, and post it. After two weeks I go through all the posts and announce the winners.

Personally I haven't been here long and will only be submitting a partial entry. You can do likewise, and if you post another entry later I will count that instead of the first one.

The reason for the different weighting is that there will be an overall winner, as well as winners in each category.

Voting will close on Christmas Eve, and results hopefully announced the next day.

Yep, the other player defaulted.

Aussie,
you need to put your man's pants on again -
get out and debate some of these clowns on this forum -
show them who's boss.

It's self evident!

Aussie wrote on Dec 20^th, 2024 at 4:41pm:

The Declaration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,
that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

I feel the love 💕 from Aussie and I feel wonderful about it. :)

For this category… I can’t remember the name of the guy that always has HUGE capital fonts when replying …he’s number 1
Edit: it’s Buzz!
No. 2 Unsub because he confuses me between him going to and fro with drinking heavily then giving it up.
Still deciding on 3rd one

Thanks JaSin,
it's from my science education.

The gutsiest posters… tough ‘n tumble ‘n all!

1. Gnads
2. Aussie
3. Monk
4. Setanta
And a mention to LYTC and Gregory

And there has to be a
Spit The Dummy Award!

One winner, then daylight.

Dummy spit....no competition.  Agnes.

Goes off like a firecracker.....Agnes, like a wet  Tom Thumb.

Sorry Aussie, you weren't on any of my choices.
Cheers up. There's always next year.

I'm devastated.  Truly.

Ok. You got my sympathy.

MOST CORRUPT SCAMMERS
1st: Jovial Monk
2nd: Aussie
3rd: Lisa Jones

There, how's that Aussie. If you weren't scammed $60 by Monk, you would have been 1st. Must be embarrassing, being an ex lawyer and being done over by a dero like Monk.

FUNNIEST POSTERS
1st: Chimera
2nd: Aquascoot
3rd: Carl D

Why, thank you Jasin.  8-)

But, I must point out that I am absolutely serious with most of my posts.  :-/

Especially the ones where I'm 'interacting' with your second choice. I mean - how is he ever going to learn if I'm not serious (and persistent)? ;D

I put Aqua 2nd as he does branch out more than you with poking fun at the trolls.  But you are in good company on the list. I think Chimera is a laugh, especially when he leaves LTYC perplexed and disoriented, beating him at his own game.

I thought of another category!

Most sociable posters!
They go into so many different topics, writing with such ease, with anyone! Not afraid to have a say!
Yet quite often these 2 are picked on or critiqued for that very reason.

1. Jasin 3 points
2. Bobby 2 points

I’m actually thinking of yet another category… best shyte stirrer… apart from Jasin  ;D

I might consider Carl after reading his comments in my Moon post in The Tavern   :P

Gnads, Aussie and Setanta remind me of my dad, a man’s man, tough as nails and un-afraid… ready to put their fists up to fight/protect.
