Let's try to get some more posts here :D

I nearly missed this thread!
I had to limit my mentions, too, otherwise I could nominate 200 goggers! I apologize to all those I did not include!
This time, I gave precedence to those I did not mention in the previous editions (in no aprticular order):

-markoH01, for working hard to improve the quality of some GOG releases;
-budejovice, for being extremely kind and a pleasure to talk with;
-NoNewTaleToTell, a real connoisseur of games, for all our discussions about *substantial* videogaming (something I have seen relatively rarely in the last months. Most threads are about Steam, politics or economics! XD);
-opticq, for being always nice and kindly backing me up with Rise of the Triad;
-tinyE, because despite what the rep trolls may think, I find his post genuinely funny;
-Soccorro, for being one of the nicest forum members under all the possible points of view;

I cannot avoid to mention my favourite GOGlodytes HypersomnicacLive, IAmSinistar, ddickinson, foxworks, trentonlf, Grargar and Ragnarblackmane (who unfortunately I don't see very often, lately), for the motives that everyone undoubtedly already knows!

Bump, and an update to my nominations list

http://www.gog.com/forum/general/the_thank_the_fellows_giveaway_3rd_ed/post5

I'm 4 rep shy of nominating, but this thread needs a late hour bump!

Another bump, hopefully we can see more noms before the giveaway closes :)

I'd like to enter these two gentlemen.

TinyE he always makes me laugh, and never knowing what he'll say is a highlight of coming on here.

niniendowarrior: As a thank you for his awesome linux help.

Not anymore :)

Weekend (last) bump

You have Saturday and Sunday to finalize your posts. The winners will be chosen Monday.

Lol - well I don't have the broadest picture since most of my votes will come out of the Insomnia insanity - everyone else I'm just starting to sort out.

genkicolleen is my personal standout. Great attitude, good posts, very welcoming for newcomers and the overlap in gaming tastes doesn't hurt. Even games that weren't at all on my radar or in my usual genre get a look now if she promotes them.

Sinistar and Grargar (and Pidgeot's tool) helped pull me in to the sale a great deal and understand the flow of what was happening, but I really appreciated people like colleen, trentonlf, and opticq who just helped keep the conversation and good times going on the social side.

The_blog was generous beyond any reasonable expectation, and if he doesn't get a gift in the giveaway, we should all at least continue to offer him thanks for his generosity. Or else offer him recommendations for a therapist to counsel him on his addiction to non-stop giving ;)

So nothing 20 other people haven't said really.

This is probably why they tried to keep newbies from voting...

I've edited my post, and I know that I've left some people out, but there are two reasons for that:

1.) They've already been mentioned multiple times in this thread, and

2.) I've been having trouble marshaling my thoughts enough to remember all of the people on this forum whom I appreciate! :p

Bump.

Also, this ends today, doesn't it? Far too little nominations. :(

I'm going to nominate my chosen ones.

Carrion Crow For being a living embodiment of hate and for his heroic self sacrifice when he played hatoful boyfriend so that we wouldn't have to.
IamSinistar: For his amazing work at tracker threads, throughout insomnia, summer and winter sales.
La Ptite Bete: For being an all-around awesome owl girl and too generous for her own good.
moonshineshadow For exactly pretty much the same reasons. Minus the owl part.
DDickinson : For being an awesome battle sister, FOR THE EMPRAH!
EndreWhiteMane For keeping the cleanest, tidiest and most kid-free lawn around.
Stilton : Because he's a viking bard!

Here's my list of usual suspects:

EndreWhiteMane
moonshineshadow
CarrionCrow
j0ekerr
adaliabooks
AgentBirdnest
l0rdtr3k
GhostwriterDoF
ddickinson
gunsynd
HypersomniacLive
LaPtiteBete


Chosen because they're the people I've had the most contact with (sorry if I've missed anyone!) and because they're all unquestionably terrific company.

Good luck, suspects...

Another one of my absolutely favourite GAs! I’m a bit late, but hopefully not too late to the party.

Many thanks AnonyHappyMouse for hosting it, and big thanks to our fellow GOGger for their contribution in making more worthy members game-happy.

＼(^o^)／

I’d like to start by clarifying that I won’t nominate any of the peeps that I did and won prizes in previous such GAs as to give others a better chance; still a big shout out to them, everything I said in the past and then some applies today - thanks go out to IAmSinistar, foxworks, Enebias, mrkgnao, Sage103082, JMich, and Grargar.

So, with no further ado, and small adjustments from previous Thank The Fellows GAs, here are my nominees:

Dischord – for his many positive traits that always shine, whether it’s serious conversation or light-hearted banter, both on the board and behind the scenes; one of his best traits is his unique, sometimes scathing (in a good way, imagine that!) sense of humour and the natural way in which he sneaks it into serious discussions - priceless!

trentonlf – for his genuinely kind-hearted, friendly and respectful nature, crowned by a most enjoyable sense of humour that he’s thankfully not shy to share with us; his all-around positive personality makes it easy to reciprocate in kind, and count him among the friends that I’ve made here

budejovice – for his positive attitude, and good-hearted and generous nature; he’s also pretty funny, though he’ll tell you otherwise – don’t believe him! Plus, we’re brothers-in-arms in our anti-DRM stance. Need more?

tburger – for his big heart and great sense of humour, and for being a devoted and carrying parent - he’s been kind enough to share some great stories. I’ve been fortunate to get to know him a bit better, and I can attest that his traits shine in our mostly private exchanges.

Eli – for combining intelligence with a nicely sarcastic kind of humour and a good dose of realism; he’s a great conversationalist, and I’ve enjoyed many thought-provoking but also funny exchanges via PM on our shared anti-DRM passion and many other subjects.

K_1269 – for being a lovely person, with a kind and generous heart, and an enjoyable sense of humour that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting and interacting with, mostly behind the scenes.
They’ve been absent from this forum lately due to personal stuff, but this does not diminish their worthiness, nor should be reason to exclude them.

madth3 – for his great efforts to contribute to the community in any way he can, but also for being witty and great fun to be around and interact with; he’s delivered some of the most funny lines on this forum!

Barefoot_Monkey – for his indispensable script Barefoot Essentials 2 and his continuous and tireless efforts to improve our experience; quite the professional customer service. On top of everything else, he’s got an amazingly humble attitude.

dr.schliemann – for being decent, polite, good-natured and modest person, and very calm, civil and respectful during disagreements.
He's the first (I think) to introduce this sort of GA that seems to be turning into a community tradition.

LynetteC – for being decent, polite, witty and an absolute joy to interact with, thanks to her nicely wicked sense of humour and self-sarcasm, and one of the most selfless and giving peeps here.

akhliber –for being decent, good-natured, sensitive and carrying, and for having a nice dose of self-sarcastic humour that I admire in people.

ddickinson – for being wicked and ruthless when it comes to having some fun here, but mostly for all the fights we’ve had over Fist Puncher; I'm going to miss them.

genkicolleen – for having a positive and cheerful attitude towards life, and for always being ready to offer a word of encouragement and comfort, on the board and behind the scenes.

Coelocanth – for being one of the most discrete, polite and friendly presences on the board; all around good-natured, big-hearted, modest and down to earth.

Spinorial – for his interesting shares and witty remarks and the fun-poking posts he’s made to and about me.

PaterAlf – for his discrete and always respectful way he expresses his opposition to regional pricing in the release threads.

Vainamoinen – for his well-reasoned, calm and insightful posts in a number of heated and often controversial discussions.

samlii– for starting and maintaining the thread about expiration dates of GOG promo codes.

adaliabooks, AgentBirdnest, CarrionCrow, EndreWhiteMane, GhostwriterDoF, LaPtiteBete , moonshineshadow, Stilton, toxicTom – for being great and fun company in the Conversational Free-For-All Thread.

Crewdroog – for being a great force of fun; too bad she’s not here more often.

Briareos262– for being a decent, discrete, and very giving presence on the forum and behind the scenes.

A shout out to the collective of our fellow GOGgers that organise, run and partake in the forum mafia games - they’re too many to list by name (and I’m not even sure who started this forum tradition), but they deserve at least a shout out as following and playing the games is extremely interesting and highly entertaining. :-)

EDIT: looks like my prays were not answered, even though it was Sunday. ;-)
