The 2012 BYOAC User Choice Awards need your nominations!

[Le Chuck]

need a new category, best restore

If three are recommended in the current categories (eg fullsize) they would likely be broken out into their own category for the vote. If not they (or it) would compete in the base category. Have one in mind?

Wow! I'm away for a while and come back to a nomination Thanks Guys!

[UCA]

Project Morph has been moved into Small Cab category as it is primarily a cocktail.  Thus far we have two great cocktails in that category.

Challenge:  Find another awesome cocktail deserving of a recommendation to compete against these in a sub category.

[PL1]

In addition to needing one more Cocktail nomination, we need one more nominee in the Forum Member Contribution category -- or a second on Sir Woogie for his work on the board upgrade/migration.

Ahofle seconded Calamity's Switchres Patch nomination here 5 days ago.  (Second post still has it under Needs Confirmation.)

Us being nominated, but not having a third entry to force a vote is a pretty good outcome.
A win for us both IMO.

This.
It would be a tough choice anyway. I'd rather see some special badge near your and Sir Woogie's forum avatars for the duration of year 2013.

Accepted.

I'd like to nominate CWorley's Midway Pac-Man Cocktail. Great scratch build of my favorite cocktail shape.

Not trying to force a showdown here, just want to see if we've overlooked someone deserving.

Considering there wasn't even going to BE a category this year, I think you guys are all we got. 

Rather than put it to a vote, I say we do pistols at dawn....

Seconded.

[rockyrocket]

I have a question, as this is a user choice award and not a forum member award per se can I nominate a non user?.
If not then thats understandable but if yes then
for the hardware catergory - russdx for his revolutionary pindmd board that has enabled real dmd`s in pincabs.

Maybe if you posted some pics or updated the thread or you know something    You updated that the cabinet was done in the fall, then started on the marquee, then no more updates.  I know that you've completed your software and I imagine that the machine is sitting happily complete and being enjoyed but if we don't know about it we can't exactly nominate it know what I mean? 

Any traction on the banana royale side project?  I've sent you a few pms about it but never heard back on that either.    
Would have liked to have nominated that, it would have taken the category easily IMO but maybe next year.

Sorry, the project wasn't posted until this year and is therefore not eligible for the 2012 awards.

I'm going to second this.  It is a fantastic build and a remarkable piece of coding to make it all work.  I have high hopes that the game will find it's way to public release in some form in the near future.  As for the back and forth about the cabinet being completed or not (some of that behind the scenes) I think it's completely in the spirit of the UCAs to accept this build for this year.  After all, that means that the UCAs are fulfilling one of its envisioned rolls as a forcing function to builders for them follow-up on their posts and show off their hard work and completed projects.   

[UCA]

And we're closed!  Thanks for all the great nominations and be on the look out for the voting threads to open shortly!

Just so everybody is tracking there will not be a vote off for user of the year however those individuals will be formally recognized in the final winner's announcement thread at the end of the voting period.  Thanks again for all the support so far!

[UCA]

Mods - clear to unsticky. Thanks. 

[DaOld Man]

Let the (thinking about who to vote for) begin.
And may the best win!
For those who do not win, take heart in knowing that you were nominated, and that you are among "The Best"!
Special thanks to LeChuck who, without him, this would not be.

[Unstupid]

Wow, Thanks for the nod...  I got a nomination 2 years in a row...  I guess that means I'm going to have to build something this year   

[CWorley]

Thanks for the nomination guys!  Means a lot.

[TopJimmyCooks]

If I don't win anything I'm deleting all my posts, taking my football and going home.  (Vote accordingly as you see fit  )

Being the only proclaimed non voting entity this avatar must abstain but if you're going to be lobbing softballs it does make it very hard not to knock them out of the park 

[RyoriNoTetsujin]

I just want to repeat how incredibly grateful and humbled I am to just have been nominated - especially alongside the other nominated projects here!   

I don't even care if I win, seriously, it's just a great kick in the pants to know that my project didn't go unnoticed, even months after the fact.  It's a great feeling.

Don't know if I'll be able to have a real project in 2013 ... but I know for sure these guys will continue to push the envelope, and encourage others to get into this crazy hobby! LOVE IT.

Wow! I'm away for a while and come back to a nomination Thanks Guys!
