Me? Nah your example solves are almost always better. Imho @Pyjam deserves it better than any of us.

This is gonna be the Anti-Blame game until the last second and everyone votes for someone else.

@BenChristman1 what's going on? The nominations are long overdue. Are you planning on moving forward to the voting phase?

@BenChristman1 what's going on? The nominations are long overdue. Are you planning on moving forward to the voting phase?

I would say that based on this message, the nominations are only slightly overdue (as we are just past mid-January):

I was thinking about the suggestions that I’ve gotten, and I think I’m going to extend nominations by a lot. It just makes way more sense to be able to include everything that has happened in 2021. I hope you all understand. (and maybe endorse the change?) The nomination period will now go to mid-January. I will update the original post soon. Thanks for your understanding!

Hey everybody, I’m really sorry about this. I’ve been neglecting the forums recently, and I’m currently on vacation, so I can’t work on the ballot at this time. I’ll be back home on Saturday, so I will really try to work on it then. If somebody else would like to, you are welcome to compile the nominations into a simple Google Form for everyone to vote. If not, I will work on it this weekend. Thanks for your patience, and my apologies once again!

*Twiddles wings aggressively*

I have no idea but when I nominated you for most improved noob I was thinking more along the lines of posting, not actual cubing progression made.

Should have read your entire post looking for my name xD

Pineapples on pizza is not a debate, Its a way of life

 

[CubeRed]

:rolleyes:

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Make sure to vote, Quack!

Pineapples on pizza is not a debate, Its a way of life

I feel like you're trying to revive the PoP debate so that more people will vote for it as "Biggest Controversy".

 

[qwr]

remember to nominate me for Kirjava Award for Wackiest Member or something

Mike Hughey Award for Nicest Member: qwr

I just noticed this and this is funny to me because I'm pretty sure I'm not the nicest member by a long shot.

 

[CubeRed]
