Awards 2010 - Best Newcomer

**Seahawk** · 01-28-2011, 01:12 PM

Best Newcomer: The new member (must have registered in 2010!) who you think made the biggest positive impact to the RU forums or the arcade.

Nominees:
Elrod21
Enemy Ace
ChrisP

You get one vote only, so make it count. Remember that this is for 2010 events only!

Good luck and remember to never be disinclined to acquiesce to the captin's request.

As the "Ultimate Male" is not an option Elrod it is!

**tanc24** · 01-28-2011, 11:41 PM

All three are worthy additions to this great site, but I had to go with elrod as well.

Cheers!

Side note: I was surprised to see jozman wasn't nominated until I learned he signed up in October 2009. He gets my honorable mention.

**CrispyChicken** · 01-29-2011, 02:05 PM

I'm glad I was even nominated

XD I voted for Elrod. You made quite the impact on this site! Keep on gaming!!

**elrod21** · 01-29-2011, 06:00 PM

I am just happy to be nominated myself. Both ChrisP and Enemy Ace are great competitors and really have been part of making this site fun for me too. This place is really unique and I am so grateful I found it.

**Winnebagel** · 01-29-2011, 06:59 PM

I voted for Elrod. Elrod, you had a really good 2010 and did great in contests and competition. Well done.

**Seahawk** · 01-29-2011, 07:11 PM

I voted ChrisP. He really livened up the forums.

That, and it's always fun to joke about him needing a new computer whenever he submits a mastery. It's always a suspenseful moment when I have to go judge a submission from him, wondering whether the average FPS will be over 90% or not XD.

Of course, I still love elrod and Enemy Ace too, that was an epic struggle over Speed Coin. And I have had many personal back-and-forth games with both of them. Kudos.

Yes all three are great additions to the site.

Side note: Yep. I registered a bit too late in the year to get noticed for the 2009 awards and a bit too soon to qualify for the 2010. Oh well. At least I still have my dashing good looks

And amazing skills too. Playing with the keyboard and doing as well as you do is epic in itself. I don't even know how someone does well at a Shmup with the keyboard. I need my stick or at least a game pad to do any good.

Thanks for the votes so far everyone as well. I am so glad Retro-gaming roundup mentioned this place.

I'm in the same boat El. I always have to stand back in amazement at guys like Jozmon and Tails who go almost completely on keys. I can't imagine trying to do that.

Tails just uses keyboard too?

That makes his scores more impressive to me also.

**Tails** · 01-30-2011, 11:22 AM

Yeah I do, WB keeps on trying to make me get a real controller.

I voted for ChrisP, besides being a referral of mine he produces so much positiveness in the forums and makes it better. Elrod woulda been for arcade.

**Seaunipeg** · 02-03-2011, 12:06 AM

Dad for sure...he's already been bumping back and forth from 1st to 3rd and what not...go Elrod!!!!

**Winnebagel** · 02-21-2011, 11:24 AM

Poll closed. Elrod21 wins the 2010 Best Newcomer award. Good job Elrod. You have made big impact in a short time. Well done!

**elrod21** · 02-21-2011, 11:27 AM

Thanks Winnebagel! I have really enjoyed myself at this site so far and met a lot of great people. I look forward to things to come.

**Gamenguru** · 02-21-2011, 12:49 PM

Congratulations Elrod! You've definitaly earned a reputation for yourself since joining the site. Nice job!

**CrispyChicken** · 02-21-2011, 12:59 PM

Congrats Elrod!! You earned it! I'm surprised I got 12 votes

Thanks for the votes for whoever voted for me XD

**elrod21** · 02-21-2011, 01:06 PM

Thanks Gamenguru and ChrisP!

ChrisP you shouldn't be surprised you got so many votes, you have become a valued member of the site since you joined and I must say a really nice guy. As it was stated earlier the category isn't about trophy counts alone.
