deltablue Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 It's that time again, the Annual FMCU awards, a year after the last one (funnily enough)! For those of you not so familiar with this FMCU tradition (the 9th, would you believe?), here are the links to all the past award threads, which are also good to go over again even if you were there to re-live the fun. The inaugaral FMCU Awards The Second FMCU Awards The Third FMCU Awards The Fourth FMCU Awards The Fifth FMCU Awards The Sixth FMCU Awards The Seventh FMCU Awards The Eighth FMCU Awards We're going to have 10 Categories this year... Best FMCU Newcomer For the best.... newcomer.Best FMCU Team For your favourite side that someone has had. Usually a dafuge stronghold but probably not this year.Best FMCU Journeyman Career For the best journeyman career, where people travel around taking charge of multiple sides.Best FMCU Poster An individual award for posting activity.Best FMCU Story A new award, for the thread with the highest quality of story-telling.Best FMCU Fountain of Youth For youth only careers.Best FMCU Retro Career The best career on an older version.Best FMCU Thread Name For the funniest or most creative thread name.FMCU Manager of the Year The top individual award.Best FMCU Thread For the best thread of any type. The rules are much the same as always.. 1. Never let suspects stay together 2. Always wear glov... OK, let's try again...1. PM all votes to me2. No voting for yourself, your thread or your teams. Not that anyone tries but it's still worth making clear.3. Older threads are allowed but not if they've won an award before, so not my thread, and not ManUtd1's old thread, which dominated enough last year as it.4. Ineligible votes will be ignored (I got fed up of telling people each time in my first couple of years running things, though last year was much better) 5. The deadline for votes is midnight on Thursday 11th October6. Never say sorry, it's a sign of weakness. Awards night is currently set for 6pm on Friday 12th October, getting in shortly before the Beta hits. May the odds be ever in your favour! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Edit] The link for the 5th awards night thread is wrong @deltablue I'm not sure a longest thread title category is something you'd need to vote on, plus I think most of yours is taken up by the bit wondering if it would win if there was such a category I've fixed the link. I just copied and pasted them from the old archive thread. That one was from before I was in charge so I don't think I was the one who did it wrong in the first place Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minuy600 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 This always makes me nervous because I always have this 50/50 thing going on in my brain in which one part knows i'm gonna get voted at least once and the other part does the exact opposite. I'm not voting since I am just really bad at it. Never know if I pick the (for me) right person. vote me for best newcomer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted September 29, 2018 Author Share Posted September 29, 2018 Sorry guys. Rodesire isn't a newcomer (his first thread was August 2017, which is close but still rules him out). I considered him myself before I checked. However it means I get to allow Deisler's other nomination Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

oriole01 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 This is Hans Kaiser. My votes have been sent. As for those who haven't voted yet, I raise you the story of my career.... Hans Kaiser: Baldness Über Alles! This indeed on an older version of the story-telling software (FM17), thus making it eligible for the award you call Best Retro Thread, and has received considerable praise for its in-depth, detailed narrative focus, therefore making it very well-qualified for what you call the Best Story award. And remember, if I don't win in those categories, you will receive a visit from my very talented associates, who may use words and possibly actions to persuade you otherwise. I am very much looking forward to awards night! Los! Los! Los! I think Hans was subtle enough there... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 This year's co-host is a stroke of utter genius (though not necessarily mine) I just hope I don't end up over-doing it on the big night, but somehow I doubt we'll have a repeat of last year's incident with Miss Piggy.

Makes me wish I'd done it after all, though in some ways there'd have been no point if it relied entirely on him winning, as well as the fact that we know he was anyway without needing to put it to a vote. I still plan to honour him anyway. As much as that thread was a train-wreck, it was also hilarious and the guy (who had already shown himself to be a massive arse in the general discussion thread) got perma-banned shortly afterwards. 12 hours ago, Wavelberry said: Best player would've been Danny Gormley by a country mile or else I riot at dawn.

deltablue Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 We're now up to 10 sets of votes this year, having almost reached the half-way stage. For comparision we had 26 last year, so maybe we're not that far behind relatively speaking, but with a majority coming 1-2 days in it does feel very quiet this week. I hope Jimbo's research doesn't over-run as I've just been looking back at last year's voting thread and it seems he didn't get his votes in in time so I hope he doesn't make it two in a row Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
