    Hello and welcome to the first official Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games Awards.

    Due to lack of Holiday Games this year, these awards will be for Challenges/Sign-ups, although a special mention goes to kipfizh's "AI Experiment - what would happen if?"

    These awards are to celebrate the best Challenges/Sign-ups/Holiday Games from FM07.

    I know there are a limited amount of awards, but this is the first year this has happened, so I will see what it turns out like

    The process of choosing each winner is simple. You choose out of the 3 shortlisted candidates in each section and the one with the most vote wins. It is really as simple as that. When you have decided what you want to vote for in each category, delete the other 2 in that group and send the completed list to siforumawards@googlemail.com, or for you lazy ones, you can post in the thread, but this would not make your votes very confidential now, would it?

    The deadline for voting is 20:00 on Friday the 12th of October.

    And thanks to you'll_never_walk_alone; The Golden Boy, and wisla_krakow for all their help in this.

    Get voting, and let's hope for a successful awards night.

    The awards night will be held on Saturday the 13th of October, at 21:00 (subject to change due to the availability of me and others).

    Interesting, but um...

    How are the nominees selected?
    Are there certain criteria to meet to qualify?

    I know it's the first ever, but maybe that's something to think about?

    Anyway it's good that you've started this. Hopefully it'll be a success and there'll be many more to come, and it'll be nearly on par with the FMS Awards.

    2 nominations, I feel touched.

    Have to admit that I'm slightly surprised about the 'best sign up' shortlist, the sign up I would have voted for - 'Rise of the Low Countries' by CoachFlu isn't even in the list!

    San Marino challenge

    Surely the hardest, as I don't think anyone ever got near to completing it? The club side is simple enough, but the national half of the challenge is a lot harder.

    Rise of the Low Countries was fb!

    Costerkoa deserved some credit for that.

    I can see dafuge and Gundo leading the challenges for the next few years though.

    I did have that sign-up in there for a long time, but as there could only be 3 in each category, I reluctantly dropped it.

    Very good idea to have this award ceremony here

    But a few suggestions:
    1. Rather than limiting the nominations, they should be open for all. With an extensive list possible for various users/challenges.
    2. Rather than having voting public, it should be done in private; with one/two person counting all the votes and such.

    Please feel free to disagree. But having said that, its a very important and good step forward!

    Hello and welcome to the first official Challenges / Sign-Ups / Holiday Games Awards.

    Due to lack of Holiday Games this year, these awards will be for Challenges/Sign-ups, although a special mention goes to kipfizh's "AI Experiment - what would happen if?"

    These awards are to celebrate the best Challenges/Sign-ups/Holiday Games from FM07.

    I know there are a limited amount of awards, but this is the first year this has happened, so I will see what it turns out like

    There's a couple of strange ones in their tbh. Think it was all at Birdy123's discretion?

    I just voted for yours Jimbo because I knew it'd get you goat.

    The original and best idea that spawned Gundo's challenge.

    Absolutely loved it this year and I enjoyed learning about the new rules and differt competitions that exist in N.Ireland

    Most Difficult Challenge:
    dafuge's FM07 challenge
    I've got a feeling that Gundo's challenge may win this one, but I must admit that with FM07 I found dafuge's challenge harder than Gundo's challenge,

    Best Failed-Challenge:
    My big fat GK can score more than your big fat GK, (or can he)?
    I'm going for this because I think it was a good challenge that I started too late. If I was meant to vote for a carp challenge then serves me right.

    I feel embarrassed that my name was put up there and someone, (to name just one of many), like Gundo, weren't.
    Anyway, it's irrelevant. There can be only one .

    I would have voted for dafuge because he is just so consistant and never seems to have an off day like the rest of us however I don't feel that Loked has received enough recognition as yet so Loked gets my vote .

    ps. As far as I am aware, there were only two holiday threads that ran for any length of time.

    The amazing kipfizh thread goes on and on and I still marvel at it fantasticness.

    My own Ass Man thread using big fat target men was a hit for a while but ultimately pales in comparison to that of kipfizh.

    I would like to see more of this sort of stuff done this year, (as long as it is done in sufficient detail and with a relevant questioning theme).

    Talking of kipfizh.

    Why wasn't he on the user lists? I'm sure he has been one of if not the most popular member in these parts for the past few months.

    I suppose it's because his input is largely restricted to his own thread. If he "got out" a little more then maybe I would have agreed with you.

    He still deserves special praise for that thread alone though.

    Remember, if you haven't voted, not long to go now!

    I won't be here for the deadline, guys, but any posts after 20:00 will not be counted unless you have a damn good reason.

    Deadline has now passed, so no more votes please.

    Hopefully Birdy will be able to quickly toll up the votes so we can see who are the award winners .

    Ok, so I forgot the rugby was on and I guess people will be watching that tonight.

    I will move the awards night to a day this week, how does Tuesday at 20:00 sound?

    Was going to suggest that as long as it wasn't at 20:00 on Wednesday then it would be fine... then I discovered that the England game has an early KO on Weds.

    Pleased with that, one moment of drunken inspiration a couple of years ago has turned into an institution on the SI forums. Something I never expected to happen.

    Got to agree with that, my Kilmore Rec game was one of the most interesting games I've played on FM. A league I've never played in before plus all the problems involved in taking a small club to European glory. I've learnt a hell of a lot about the game through playing this challenge.

    Another great choice, this is a challenge I've never taken part in, but perhaps I will with FM08. The thought of succeeding with San Marino scares the hell out of me.

    I have never really looked into that thread too much.

    I think I will try and take more on an intrest this year.

    I think I've just gon an aversion to playing in a Nation where so many of the players have girls names.

    Ahhhhhhem.

    I'd like to thank, my mum, my dad, my agent.... bla bla tears..... more tears..... not very funny gag.... more tears...... assault photographer....... roll out of taxi....... sleep fully clothed with face in fast food.

    The challenge will be repeated if I can get even an inkling that GK's can be even vaguely prolific.

    Thank you .

    Fantastic to win this award, great knowing that a sign-up which was created just before GQ disallowed any more sign-ups, had survived from then and into here and is still popular enough for people to vote for it .

    Thanks everyone for your votes.

    Really the main credit for this should go to Tilla, as he iirc came up with the idea of two teams, which we developed from there. It's unfortunate that he didn't have time to carry on running the sign-up with me, but I guess it turned out fine in the end as a concept .

    Very pleased that a sign-up that was thought up several weeks before was allowed to develop, and we were able to be completely set-up before being ready to post. I'm guessing that's helped the sign-up win a great award .

    Again thanks to all involved and the voters.

    This was one of the very few sign up threads I took part in, just a shame it only lasted just over one season. It was a decent idea that almost classed it as an AI experiment rather than a story thread.

    Hom3r's sign-up was a great idea, and if it hadn't failed then I'm sure it would have been nominated and won 'Best Sign-Up Idea'. Hopefully Hom3r or even someone else will do a similar thing for FM08.

    Wow, was not expecting Shetland to win the award, imo Manana Banana and Leyendas seemed more popular. But I'm honoured by it's popularity nonetheless .

    Thanks again for all the votes from you Shetland fans .

    Mr consistancy, (Loked), just keeps churning out top quality untra detailed sign-ups.

    Very well deserved .

    I suppose you must also mention everyone else who participated in a sign-up thread because it is certainly a community of it's own.
