2015 Community "Thank you"........

edited January 2016 in Poker Chat

With 2015 drawing to a close, & UKOPS round the corner, Sky Poker want to give a little "thank you" to the Community regulars who help make the Community tick over, who go to exceptional lengths to run Leagues & the like. Community is very important to Sky Poker.
 
They don't do it for money, & their "award" will be small - just a £22 UKOPS Event.  (They can choose from any of about 9, though beware, some are Rebuys).
 
The idea is to award 5 or 6 of them this way. Problem is not who gets them, but who does not, as there are so many.
 
So suggestions & ideas are needed please.

My initial thought process was something like this.....

GaryQQQ (Results Thread, 365 days per year, with occasional help from Alan).
 
DTWBandit - Michael just gets on with the DTD thing, week after week.
 
PokerTrev - just quietly & efficiently looks after the Orfordable League, & has done for years.

Macacgirl for the PLO8 Challenges. I've vetoed that already, she will get nothing.
 
Aussie, for helping so many with stats & data.
 
Churchy for running the POLO8 League (he has already been awarded one of the seats).
 
Mumsie, for just general helpfulness & comic relief, (so to speak), maybe?

Thoughts? Who have I missed?

Impossible to agree on the most deserving 6, & let's not be falling out, but feedback welcome.

    Phantom
    He bought a bingo machine to help the community! Bet thats never been said before.
    First two draws were brilliant. We'll gloss over the extraordinarily mediocre 3rd round draw.

    Some guy called Tikay. Always helpful, a great ambassador and goes above and beyond what is expected of him.

    Phantom is a decent shout, lot of work went into that.

    Tomgoodun? I think that's a different category altogether, which, if I can squeeze some more money out of Upstairs, we might do later, & that might include "Best Threads", "best Diary", that sort of thing.

    We could even do "Most Grumpy" contributor. Any thoughts on that, Paul?

    Bah

    We could also do a biggest bully prize. Any thoughts on that, Tony?

    Spose Sky employees wouldn't be eligible though

    If there is different section for diary contributions then +1 tomgoodun and I nominate Dohhhhhh. Closed book on grumpy prize. Rich Orford should get the only sing when I am winning prize.

    Crikey, knew I'd forget some - Mr 220 @ 220, of course.

    StayOrGo, Tennis Bloke & TeddyBloat are all great shouts, too.

    Now try sorting out who gets these - I have been given 6 to give away right now, & a line has to be drawn somewhere. 

    Awkward, innit?

    GARYQQQ.

    DTD organisers - DTW, Jono, Boxster (plus others who have helped out doing tables etc).

    Aussie.

    The above are all a shoe in with others who have also run community Leagues/comps this year. Producing tables etc does take time and a bit of effort that sometimes goes unappreciated. 

    Sorry, but diaries and other threads etc should be a total separate thing than the above (IMHO).

    Please don't consider me.
    I haven't done much and many are more deserving.
    Also, I'm only interested in the PLO8 doofer which I was gonna play anyways, so £22 would be a waste.

    I had no intention of doing so, & I disqualified you anyway.

    GOOD.
    If you'd given me a prize I'd have spite-busted on purpose first hand.

    Gary, DTW & Trev all good shouts. 

    Noseybonk has been posting good and helpful stuff 'under the radar' ever since I joined here so he would be my left field pick. 

    Nice Gestures, gl to the awardees :)

    Thanks very much to those who have mentioned my name, but awarding one of the prizes to me would be a waste.

    I've just looked at the UKOPS schedule. It's highly unlikely I'll be able to participate in any events, free seat or not. I'm sure we would all much rather see the prize go to someone who can actually play.
