[Kodos]

Here is the final ballot for the 2004 Golden Scribes Awards. Please vote for only one finalist in each category, except for the Best Dynasty of All Time category (number 19). Please send your votes to both [email protected] (me) and [email protected] (klayman, the Golden Scribes' independent auditor). In the email, please list your FOFC handle as well. The scoring system for Best Dynasty of All Time is listed directly above it.

Please feel free to vote only in the categories with which you are acquainted. To increase the ease of tabulating the vote for myself and klayman, please copy the entire ballot into your e-mail and then delete all the entries in each category except for the entry that you want to win.

[QuikSand]

d. Lincoln City Black Squirrels (QuikSand)

I am flattered by the nomination of this thread, but might add that this seems to be a mixed entry.

I commanded Lincoln City in two different Championship Manager dynasties, but I suspect that this nomination is intended for my Colorado Springs Black Squirels, an old multi-year FOF 2001 dynasty, which I fear is no longer retreivable from the old forum, alas.

Great. First my Oscar ballots are due one month earlier this year, and now a certain Natalie Portman-loving alien (who shall remain nameless) has produced the final ballot for the Golden Scribes....with nineteen separate categories.

19 categories?!? How am I suppose to have time to read all of these dynasties and give my expert insight to the masses at the FOFC.

I suppose I can take a break from my movie reviewing this weekend and catch up on the Golden Scribes. Since I am the ultimate authority on the GSAs, it is probably my duty to sacrifice my time for the good of the FOFC community. - sigh -

My highly anticipated 2004 GSA handicapping thread will appear in the dynasty section soon.

Toodles,

The GSG

[Kodos]

Alas. Didn't you suggest that I expand/modify the categories last year? Consider your wish granted.

Oh, and you forgot about category 20: The QuikSand Lifetime Achievement Award recipient (which was decided in the nominations stage).

Better brew some more coffee... :D

[GoldenScribeGuy]

Alas. Didn't you suggest that I expand/modify the categories last year? Consider your wish granted.
Ahhh, yes. The old "Be careful what you wish for..."

I guess I should be flattered that my suggestions were taken to heart. Then again, it was a rather obvious change that needed to be made. If I think up any more nuggets of wisdom, I will be sure to pass them on to you, my alien friend.

[GoldenEagle]

Wasn't the Bill Gates challenge up for this thing last year?

[Kodos]

Wasn't the Bill Gates challenge up for this thing last year?

Yes, but it was active in 2003 also, if I'm understanding your question right. The eligibility rule is only that a dynasty has to be active at some point during the 2003 calendar year.

[Kodos]

Bump for the weekend readers.

[GoldenScribeGuy]

Bump for those awaiting my wisdom.

The official GSG Handicapping Thread will begin tomorrow.

Maybe.

[Kodos]

Bump, because I am very concerned about increasing my post count. ;)

Everyone please check out this thread. (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=20947) I really screwed up the Dynasty of the Year category. I managed to leave X-Com off of the ballot by accident... :(

[SplitPersonality1]

Procrastinators of the world unite. I am your leader.

Great! Let's unite! But can we do it tomorrow? I don't wanna do it now.

I'm already a club member of procrastinators united. Why do you think I was sending in my ballot last night?
