2012 MangaBlast Achievements

[Hitotsumami]

Hello all forum members!

2012 is now winding down for MangaBlast and we've had some awesome things happen this last year. Let's go through some of them!

- Forum Created - First of all, if not the most important news, the forum was created! First suggested by Shark on my, CJ's, and a few other members DA accounts, the forum came to fruition by CJ and designed by myself.

- RP Section Continued - One of the main reasons for this forum is of course the RP section. Started at OPHQ, continued on Mangaground, and now on MangaBlast the OPRP is by far the most popular, complex, and interesting RP we have. Also created was the Fairy Tail RP, a continuation from the one at Mangaground. A few other RP's have been created as well, some have passed on, but all are interesting. Next year will certainly be an interesting time for the RP's!

- Forum Events - Rarely has there been so many forum events with our community in past forums. First introduced was Movie Night, which was relatively successful and fun. Minecraft Mondays still happen whenever I have the time as well! Not to mention the Live RP post writing streamed through Skype. I'm sure next year we will continue these events and hopefully introduce even more!

- Our Members - If nothing else, the bonds that tie us together has proven to be strong. We've searched the internet to find and bring back old members, and the search still goes on today. With over 30 members, we've done a great job with that. Let's hope we'll find even more of our old friends.


With that said, let's enjoy the celebration! But before that, I want to introduce a new tradition for the end of each year: An Achievement Nomination Tournament!

The rules are simple. I'll post a few categories below. Then you, in this thread, vote for who you think meets that category! Winners of each category will be given a fancy little button to save or put in their signature if they like! Let the tournament begin!


1. Friend By All - The member you think is the most friendliest, or has the most close friends! In other words, the most popular?

2. Ban Hammer - The member you think is the most likely to be banned forever!

3. Picasso - The member you think has been the best artist!

4. Role Player Pro - So, who has been the best RPer on our forums?

5. You will FAIL - Worst poster on the forum? Who could it be!?

Post below with your nomination/votes! As a note, if you have another category suggestion, I'll be accepting them for the next 24 hours. After that, voting will last until the end of the month. For now, you can vote, discuss MangaBlasts's achievements, and just generally chat in this thread!

Thanks for the great year, and let's have another awesome one next year you guys!

I've always been up for still continuing movie night, it's fun and not hard at all to do. It's kind of difficult now nearing the end of the year with finals, but I after that I'd still be up for doing it.

[Xero]

Let's see, I do not RP enough and I also do not post any of my artwork to be considered for any of those categories. Shanks is not here (at least not that I know of) so I doubt I will be banned forever. So the only two categories I think I can be considered are the Friend By All and You Will FAIL. I think there are other members that are liked more than me so realistically, since I only post in about three total threads, I like my chances for Worst Poster lol.

As for improvements, let me get back to you. My mind does not function as well as it used to.

[Hitotsumami]

@ Xero

You can also vote for others to win those categories! You don't just have to vote for yourself.

@ Shark

I agree

[CJ]

This year was really something. I'm excited we were able to get so many people back together. 2013 should continue to be even more awesome yet. Thank you all for making this place so wonderful.

I never liked popularity contests but this one seems alright. I will approach it with the most seriousness I could possibly approach it with. HERE WE GO. CJ'S GRAND AWARD CEREMONY.

1. Friend By All - Neurotick

Ticky's seems to be the one member who everybody seems to like. I've never had an issue with her and I'm pretty sure vice versa. Also, she's a really good artist and an excellent writer. I'd really like to take her on a romantic dinner date sometime. WE COULD GAZE INTO THE STARS.

2. Ban Hammer - CJ

No, seriously. God modding Kylor's character in the meeting thread (even though unintentional) was enough to get me kicked into a corner. Other than that, I can't really see a member getting booted here.

3. Picasso - Hitotsumami



4. Role Player Pro - Kylor

I was so close to giving this one to Shark or Kuro. Shark's amazing at world building and creating amazing characters that keep you guessing. Kuro is unforgivably witty and dark, but not so much that he's annoying or repetitive. Hito doesn't count because most of his awesome stuff this year went into the amazing Wolf story, which technically wasn't roleplaying.

Kylor takes the cake almost purely because of his unique and inspiring characters. Not to mention the death of the Gravel Enthusiasts is likely one of the best posts ever written in this RP. Everyone else was really great this year and I can't wait to see how everyone's writing can improve (also, it should be fun, I suppose).

5. You will FAIL - Sprite

Naw, I'm joking. It's actually everyone who doesn't post in the Manga section. Shame on you all. I don't care if you don't read those manga or not. Imma be sad in this corner right hurr.

A special thanks to Hito and Shark, who without them this wouldn't have been possible. I may be Figurehead Supreme but Hito has really put the most work into this site. Good job, guys.

Do you even read this stuff before you post it?

[CJ]

I meant it as a joke. I'm just messing with ya.

[Shark a' Pult]

I was gonna say, what am I supposed to do, go into every thread and go "I don't know what this is and I don't read manga, but I'm posting for posting's sake."

[Hitotsumami]

My votes:

1. Friend By All - Ticky fo sho

2. Ban Hammer - CJ the godmod master

3. Picasso - TICKY

4. Role Player Pro - My favorite RPer has been Xero. I haven't been in the OPRP in a long while.

5. You will FAIL - Sprite easy

aw yeah

[Xero]

I think I can vote for Hito in all categories lol.

But seriously:

1. Friend By All: I would probably say Ticky or CJ

2. Ban Hammer:

3. Picasso: Hito

4. Role Player Pro: I would also go with Hito, but this could be slanted because I only RP in one thread, and with what Hito does with each post is amazing.

5. You Will FAIL: Morcombe (Kind of misleading because he is probably the one person who posts in every thread lol. I just think it would be funny).

4. Role Player Pro - Kylor

Anyways...

1. Friend By All - Shark. I know this is kinda a weird option, but he has this way about him where he can say pretty much anything and everyone can be pretty much okay with it. That's worthy of an award of some kind, I think.

2. Ban Hammer - I do not think anyone should be banned.

3. Picasso - Hito. Hiiiiiiito.

4. Role Player Pro - CJ. And not because she nominated me for this, I swear! Basically, CJ is by far the easiest member here to RP with, I think. Her characters are fun to interact with, and she always brings something interesting to whatever thread she's in. What I find notable in that pretty much every thread she has participated in that I have also been in, there has been at least one cool moment between our characters, or at least a moment that gave an opportunity to advance my own characterization. It's really nice to know that there's someone like that in the RP. Heck, even her Godmods are handled with class and open the door for interesting things to happen. So yeah, I have to give this to the Once and Future Main Character.

5. You will FAIL - nico. Don't act like we can't see you, nico! Stop acting all high and mighty, just post, dammit!

[Hitotsumami]

Actually I change my best artist vote to Kuro. IF ONLY YOU WOULD POST THE FT DRAWING! I would keep my vote for ticky if she did more recent art. sorry ticky -cries-

By the way, again, if anyone has any additional categories they think would be cool, let me know!

[Kuro]

I will never post FT drawing, Hito.

Never.

No, just kidding, I will eventually, maybe soon since you reminded me of it.



Friend by All - Hito seems to be the most friendliest person on this forum. So laid-back and friendly.

Ban Hammer -

CJ, I guess? She was the only one who really broke the rules, but even then it was only or twice and she did it well and in a non-ridiculous/infuriating way. Technically, she gets this position, but she doesn't deserve to be banned.

Picasso - Hito has amazingest colorings evah but tickeh is also very good with the character designs and art style why you makeh me choose

Role Player Pro - No, it is CJ. Her characters in particular are great, wacky, fun and nice to interact with. She writes well. Nothing to do with her Main Character Syndrome.

You will FAIL - Sprite.

[Shark a' Pult]

I vote for myself in every category.

Also this was posted at kind of a bad time. If I have one more day, IE tomorrow, I can come up with a whole slew of other categories for achievements.

[Morcombe]

1. Friend By All - Tough choice since I've never encountered any problems with anyone here. I could take the easy option and choose Mainy simply because he's my actual real life friend I guess. so ya Mainy.

2. Ban Hammer - due to number 1 I have no clue so I'll jump on the Ban wagon (yes its a bad pun) and say CJ.

3. Picasso - Dont really check the art thread and besides Mainy's art I've only ever seen Hito's windmill comic so I'll say Hito.

4. Role Player Pro - ......? can I say everyone except me?

5. You will FAIL - everyone who has a single digit post count.
