Forum Awards 2013! - Nomination

[quote=Mooninites]Kind of surprised I haven't seen a single nomination for Cuddowls. Maybe we're going to have a 'razzies-esque' style nomination, I feel like both Cuddowls and I have a pretty good shot to take home some titles in that.[/quote]

[quote=-NA- Veng Lmfao]I NOMINATE SIRELL My name: Veng Lmfao The nominated's name: Sirell Category: Most intellectual poster 2013 Link to activity: [spoiler=Destroying my argument completely]No, Dil is the one who is making the valid counter-argument. People make analogies to highlight the similarities in situations, HOWEVER, it is perfectly valid to then point out the discrepancy in the examples which make the analogies completely pointless or ineffective. By comparing the fact that real-life physical limited edition things (like a car or a cake) have a limit based on resources and manpower to create, whereas coding is simply copied, there is already a huge difference in distribution of limited edition products. A car will be limited by how long it takes to make and how much materials there are to create it. A cake has to be requisitioned every time by the bakery (but the fact of the matter is also that if you requisition for the same cake as someone else, chances are they'll make it for you anyway... take similar wedding cakes for example) and it takes time and effort and ingredients, which are also ultimately limited. Coding (skins) do not share this disadvantage. Mew was supposed to be a limited edition for Pokemon RBY, but it was brought back in consequent generations. Not a single person bitched about it. Understand me when I say that there is literally no basis of ground for ANYONE to be angry at Riot for making this decision. They have done nothing wrong practically (they make money, you get skin, win-win) and have done nothing wrong ethically. The closest you can get to forming a cohesive argument of anger against them is that they went back on their word, or they are 'promise-breakers'. But that is ALL. So they changed their minds. SO WHAT? It's not as if just about everyone on the planet has changed their minds at one point or another. What are people really angry about? They said they paid for the skins because they were limited edition. Now they are no longer going to be limited edition, SO YOU GET YOUR RP BACK AS COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS OF UNIQUENESS. So technically, you haven't paid for anything, so you've made ABSOLUTELY 0 LOSS and an ABSOLUTE REFUND. If anything, people are making gains from this. Seriously, the amount of entitlement that some people are expressing in this thread reminds me of MyBloodisBlack. To be perfectly honest, even if Riot didn't refund the RP, it would still be perfectly valid for them to re-release the skins. A reminder that LoL is ultimately their product and they can do what they like with it. Sure, people don't have to like what they do and can ultimately decide the fate of their company by ceasing to play the game, causing them to go broke or whatever, but somehow, I really don't see that happening with this case. Why? BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT THEM TO RE-RELEASE THESE SKINS. If you don't like what Riot has done considering that the large majority actually want this, then either deal with it or gtfo. Because this is what the community said they wanted. So don't say shit like: Quoted: They are not thinking of the players tbh. Players are getting refunded and new players get a chance to purchase previously unavailable skins. Sure, it's a money grab, but to say they're not thinking of players completely neglects that they are refunding people AND the fact that they community ASKED for this.

[/quote] i agree that cuddowls has some of the best quotes of all time.[/quote]

[quote=-NA- Veng Lmfao]Aggressive or not, you got the point through and made me realize I was wrong.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]Updated OP n stuff with new noms :3 [quote=Bioalchemist]i volunteer. as i have been trained to be objective and view only the facts/data. however if this is the case the voting squad should not be allowed to nominate anyone...so my nominations would have to be thrown out.[/quote] Not necessarily, you can also just, not vote on your own nominations :P If I were to replace the "public jury" to a 10-men jury, then we still have 9 other people to do the voting on your picks :3[/quote]

[quote=Janitsu]I could be judge, I can be very objective when I want to. Btw when the judge is going to decide who gets these prizes, how will it be decided? e.g. Art dude 2300 has to send like examples or something like that and then we'd decide from those or what?[/quote]

[/quote] I ask for links on purpose :P We should eventually have at least 1 link for each nomination, besides that, I am sure that we have seen some other activity by certain members due to our own experiences on mobafire :P[/quote]
