The Problem I Tend To Have With Literotica Awards....

[The Nitelight]

....are the almost inevitable Mutual Admiration Societies that seem to spring up almost immediately.



X: I think Y has the prettiest toes. I nominate Y.


Y: Thank you, X. I think you have pretty toes too. I nominate you.

X: Yours are prettier. You should win.

Y: No. You should win.....


After a while, it seems like elections for the second grade class president.

You vote for me, and I'll vote for you.


If you want to nominate someone, do it.
But a nomination shouldn't require payback.
Or even a response.


In fact, it should frown on it.

 

[Gnufi Poppets]

You are being the same person as the other person without the THE in their name who was the having the oh so the many posts but is the always the posting with the only one word?

Where is it being that you are the finding now all the other words that you are the having here?

 

[Starfish]

YEAH! What Gnufi said!

Huh?

I think that the awards are lame too, but not for that reason. It's because they are not about things like......

Who can take the biggest object in the ass (Well, PC is getting there, isn't he. There is a candidate for you.)
Who is the most likely to play with their poo (uh...*looks around*)
Who is the only one who really matters here (This is obvious. If you don't know the answer to this, then you have no business being here. Without her, none of us would be here.)
Who eats the most beef. (Uh, I don't really know the answer to this)
Who is the most likely to let you wrap them in Saranwrap and lube them up and take them to the local waterslide and have a rip at it. (Hey, oil and water don't mix. I can even tell you how it is that they don't mix, but you'll get bored.)
Who are the most likely candidates for the First annual Literotica orgy at the Vegas meeting, and so on.

You get the idea.

 

[Mischka]

Ooh! May I be nominated for that Saran Wrap slide? That sounds awesome.

You da bomb.
LOL!

 

[*bratcat*]

ok...the thing with the "awards"

 

[April]

Too damn many categories, and I'm NOT reading that whole awards thread!

i dont think anyone is going to care if they win or lose ... its just a bit of fun

and its going to be a secret vote too so nobody be playing favourites in hope of getting voted too

i hope they do go through but it needs people to get excited about it to work ... i hope it doesnt just fall apart theres been some great ideas so far on the thread and cym put some work into trying to get it off the groud

 

[cymbidia]

Fuck it, sexy-girl.

It wasn't work, anyway. The kinda collating and categorizing i did on this yesterday was, believe it or not, very theraputic.

It's those who incessantly gripe and bitch that make me frown. If they don't want to play, shouldn't they just shut the fuck up and let other people have fun? Isn't that an accurate synopsis of Lit culture with regard to Games That Don't Interest You?

[Siren]

I agree with Nitelight

 

[LakotaMoon]

Y: Thank you, X. I think you have pretty toes too. I nominate you.

... you don't have to wait for the awards. Just have a look at the feedback-section.

It's just boring, so I never look at these mentioned stories.

No, they shouldn't just shut the fuck up. They should be allowed to bitch and gripe just like the happy people should be able to snuggle and ((((hug)))) and whatever.

period.

Here here. And we all shouldn't have to look at Chocolate Starfish any more. I'm trying to eat here.

 

[beckbabe]

I thought I had the prettiest toes. You're all assholes.

 

[cymbidia]

I thought I had the prettiest toes. You're all assholes.

And i thought i had the sweetest personality.
(Only some of you are assholes. Consistently, anyway.)

 

[KillerMuffin]

I nominate myself for Killerest Muffin. Everyone else can take a flying leap. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

 

[Never]

How is taking a flying leap a bad thing?

I've taken flying leaps off of lots of things and I don't understand why it's such an insult.

 

[Cheyenne]

I find it interesting that some of the senior members who have tut-tutted "popularity" contests in the past were suddenly so involved in this thing. Not judging, just found it interesting.

Nah, I posted a few suggestions for titles, but that's it. I didn't think the awards would ever get past the title suggestion phase!

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

If they don't want to play, shouldn't they just shut the fuck up and let other people have fun?

Ah. I see. Don't express my opinion? Got it.

 

[Todd]

Ah. I see. Don't express my opinion? Got it.

What do you have to complain about? Your in the "in" crowd. you have 27 litty nominations.

If it wasn't clear (as apparently it was not), my post which spawned the quote above, as well as others in like vein, referred to those who post into a perfectly good-natured thread with the express intent to ridicule and/or take nasty jabs at the people/games/ideas involved there. THAT is the kind of opinion we can all do without.

I've never been one, here or elsewhere in my life, to suggest that anyone not express their opinion. I do think, however, that there are more-or-less inappropriate places in which to do so, as well as more-or-less effective ways in which to accomplish the task.
