New Award Suggestion
I suggest we ***Officially*** add the award mentioned in my signature to PHPDN's annual awards. This may seem like a stupid suggestion, but this will save the server from having to load "Self-proclaimed & Unofficial" every time I post. This is a big deal!

Doing so would require actual criteria to help determine what a John Eaton like person consists of.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:I suggest we ***Officially*** add the award mentioned in my signature to PHPDN's annual awards.

Further, it would mean that you would have to remove your sig. Can't have someone claiming to have an award someone else might win.
And thats the real killer - someone else might win it, and are you ready to accept that? Then what? Make another award and unofficial status THAT award, and ask the mods to make THAT award official?
I think you are in the best possible position - a guaranteed lock on an award, and no one competing.
Thats a big deal. Don't screw it up.. you might not like the outcome!

I'm going to find a John Eaton that has no middle name, and he will therefore be more John Eatonish then you. I will then pay him $10 to sign up onto the forums and post, challenging your winning of the award.The Ninja Space Goat wrote:There would be no competition...
I AM the most John Eaton-like person here. There is no contest. Easy.
As for criteria... there is only one thing that you have to be:
John Eatonish.
Who the hell is John Eaton and what is John Eaton-like? =\
You mean this John Eaton? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eaton

My name is actually Luke. The name John Eaton has nothing to do with why I am John Eatonish. I just am.d3ad1ysp0rk wrote:I'm going to find a John Eaton that has no middle name, and he will therefore be more John Eatonish then you.

For someone with two awards to complain that a made-up award category, (self-proclaimed and awarded to boot!), that no one else could compete for (by your definitions of the award).. didn't get added to the list...The Ninja Space Goat wrote:I can't believe this didn't come to fruition!!
Thats pretty close to completely arrogant, rude, and self-absorbed behavior.
Take pride in what you did win, and in the mods being generous enough to do awards fairly at all. They can always turn off all signatures for all users, and end the pettiness entirely.
Or would you rather be positive and move on?
