Award for Worst Community Event of the Year

Everyone loves a community event here. A good one unites the community and means great fun for everyone. Sadly, they're not all good community events, frankly some of them stink worse than a dog that's been dead for three days lying in the hot sun.

This award is for the community event that you thought was the worst this year. Whether that's because of bad organisation, annoying name changes or just because it was a crap idea to start with, which community event pissed you off the most this year? Standard nominations rules apply as detailed in the rules thread.

Aeroplane fortnight or whatever.
You know the drill. Every year the forums retards all start forming battalians or whatever loosely conencted to some flying game or some shit. They all change their usernames and the board becomes unreadable for the duration.

I'm gonna have to go with Super Audio Universal Showdown, because if you want the definition of completely unorganized, that was it.

Honestly, how the fuck did we put up with Pangalin going "NAH, I WANT THIS TRACK TO WIN THE PAIRING, SO UH, YEAH, IT WON." over and over?

God help us if we think it will be a good idea to do it the same exact way again.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that counts towards 07.

To further clarify, not only was it last year, but it was also nominated last year, getting third place.

Basically, ::how does sprout faild at reading wiki::

Going to have to say THE TRUTH HURTS 2007. The servers crashed not even halfway through the event, too many people signed up and too little participated.

After this year I'm kind of hoping we don't see another Truth Hurts again.

The 2007 Composition Competition has been a rather lackluster event. Despite the concise preparation by Rat and initial enthusiasm and coordination between entrants and judges, the entire affair quickly burnt out after the Bobo Crisis of that year, leaving our main organizer to pick up what's left and try to get it done.

Tossing the standard hater's vote towards Ace Combat Week since I hate it every year >=D Can never tell who's who and if I think someone is someone then it's someone different because of the same squadron and what have you.

Seriously though, I would have to go with the Mario theme week. Mostly because people weren't really sure about whether it was going up or not, and the whole board-wide effort sort of fizzled out when it came to the actual time to be executed.

I must say that 4chan thingy...making everyone into Anonymous Faggot or something like that..I don't really remember.

Seeing yourself as that may irritate you a lot.

Who's idea was it anyway?

Nominating the 2007 Gamingforce Awards for being so damn blah. Whose idea was it to move the event in this direction, anyway?

Kuribo's Shoe awards. There was an overwhelming amount of categories and an underwhelming amount of people who could be arsed. It didn't even go to the voting stage. A non event really.

H mm. Maybe reading the rest of the thread would be helpful towards following the rules. I apologize.

Well, since this post is here, I might as well come up with another nomination.

Back earlier in the spring, Admiral Amaras girlfriend beanerd came up with some 'Battle of the Brushes' event. It never took off anywhere. In fact. It didn't get passed the initial opening thread.

By far, the worst event I've participated in this year was "War of the Words 2". The interest.... tapered down towards the end, and everything dissolved in a mist of indifference. The drop-outs and lack of voters didn't help.

At the risk of taking a beating, mainly since I didn't participate in it - I'm nominating the GFF Communal Journal. People have been lazy and they either hold onto the journal for more than a week or nobody posts when they've shipped it out to the next person, leaving everyone wondering what happened to it and OH MY GOD THE JOURNAL VANISHED.

Seriously, if you can't even perform the simple task of having something mailed out within the deadline, you shouldn't have even signed up.
