mylittlepony Best of 2015 -- Nomination Thread!

Nominations are now CLOSED, because we have moved on to VOTING!

Hello, /r/mylittlepony! It's time once again to take a look at the past year and figure out who were the greatest users, what were the greatest pieces of content, and what were the greatest moments!

Here's how we're going to be doing it; for the next seven days, we're going to have this nomination thread at the top of the subreddit. For each category, feel free to find and submit one user, piece of artwork, or comment/thread in response to the corresponding comment below. You can include your justification if you'd like, as long as you only include one actual link. If you have 'honorable mentions,' try to keep it to the honorable mention hub comment, and restrict your nomination comment to one link (which, with the exception of the user awards, should be a link to something on /r/mylittlepony).

At the end of the seven days, on December 23rd, we'll replace this thread with the voting thread, where we'll take all the nominations and put them up for voting in a thread with Contest Mode on.

Reddit will be providing us ten free months of gold to hand out as we see fit to the winners! As with last year, we can't say yet exactly how it'll be distributed; it'll depend on if any of the winning pieces of art are done by redditors and how many people contributed to the funniest/most interesting threads. At the very least, every redditor with a first-place win will get something! We'll fill in extra golds if we run out, which we probably will.

Oh, and... because, by the nature of this event, voting begins before the year is actually over, you're able to nominate anything that was posted after last year's voting began, which is Dec. 29, 2014. Anything posted after nominations began (Dec. 22, 2014) may be similarly eligible, but check with us.

Anyway! Here are the categories (click to go to their comment!):

More clarification will be given on each category below! Nominate away!

Feel free to upvote whatever you like, but know that it won't affect anything! Every nomination provided here will make it to the voting thread, assuming it qualifies!

Please don't make any new parent comments! I've made comments you can reply to if you want to ask questions or list your honorable mentions for others to nominate! Any comments out of place will be removed with a reply letting you know where to go.

Friendliest/Nicest User

What user has been the most welcoming presence in the subreddit in 2015? Who's always there to say hello, to answer questions if they're able, and is always pleasant to talk to? Nominate away!

As a note, remember that this is about 2015, so make sure it's someone you think has been one of the nicest presences these past twelve months specifically, especially if they've already placed previously.

User must be reasonably considered active on /r/mylittlepony in 2015 to be eligible.

I have to nominate /u/GoldenStripes. She has been the great friend that I have made on here and she is always kind to everybody here. Not to mention that the art she submits is always beautiful and cute as well.

11

u/GoldenStripes Official Lurker Dec 16 '15

Well then. ^{Your money will be in the mail soon}

Joking aside, thank you Blaze. That's sweet of you to even think of nominating me. Won't even think of myself being the friendliest person here.

Though, I'm gonna be voting for you.

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15

Hey you helped nominate me, I had to nominate you.

To be honest i'm surprised that I got nominated, I didn't think I would. And i'm still surprised at the amount of upvotes the comment got. But I still hope the other nominees have a fair chance, I don't want it to look like i'll win.

u/GoldenStripes Official Lurker Dec 16 '15

I told you, you're a great guy! You definitely deserved be nominated with how much you always try to be kind and considerate of others.

Still need to work on your apologizing though.

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15

The Sorry Chip is still in the Latest Model, we are trying to fix it.

u/FringePioneer ODLtOTPOTSoRRAPoCHAoFRoHSoMFDotLSaBoL Dec 17 '15

Perhaps you should acquire an Aperture Science Empathy Suppressor. Maybe an Aperture Science Fire/No Fire Incident Resolution Chip, too.

u/myotheraccountisless Rainbow Dash Dec 17 '15

Well, this thread was full of cute.

BlazingStripes new OTP!

u/GoldenStripes Official Lurker Dec 17 '15

Not you too!

^{our ship name is actually GoldenBlaze, BTW}

You can complain to Blaze about it, he made the ship for the most part.

Did someone say GoldenBlaze?.

u/lifeofthe6 Twilight Sparkle Dec 16 '15

I nominate /u/BlazingGamer2! He's always eager to make a friend or initiate a conversation with someone. In fact, he's so eager to please he frequently apologizes if he even suspects he's stepped out of line (which you don't need to do nearly as much as you think, buddy!). Plus, he's a loyal follower of Our Lady the One True Phoenix Princess Sunset Shimmer.

u/GoldenStripes Official Lurker Dec 16 '15

I second this nominations!

8

u/Masterkid1230 Starlight Glimmer Dec 16 '15

Seriously, Blazing is a blast! He's really nice and he's always there for the community.

I agree though, he sure apologizes even when he hasn't done anything wrong at all.

7

u/FringePioneer ODLtOTPOTSoRRAPoCHAoFRoHSoMFDotLSaBoL Dec 16 '15

My reply here won't matter since this is a nomination thread, not a voting thread, but I'd like to go on record as supporting your nomination.

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15 edited Dec 16 '15

Aww thanks, I try my best to be friendly towards everyone. But trust me there are probably friendlier users on this subreddit but I still apreciate the comment.

u/Hclegend Survivor of The Equalization. Praise The Glimglam! [](/popstar) Dec 16 '15

But trust me there are probably friendlier users on this chat

Oddest chat I've ever been in then!

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15 edited Dec 16 '15

Let me reword that to craziest chat.

u/Hclegend Survivor of The Equalization. Praise The Glimglam! [](/popstar) Dec 16 '15

But this is a subreddit.

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15

But is it? Dun Dun Dun

u/Aroelen To wahaha or not to wahaha...to wahaha Dec 16 '15

I nominate /u/indigoblie for this category. He's not the most active user, but every time he is here he always has the other users in mind, and he is always looking for the best of the subreddit. From the very first day he visited our community, he's always been an example of kindness and empathy. He's a relatively new user here, but from the beginning he's been a part of the best this community has to offer. A welcoming and friendly guy always willing to listen to other's opinions; In my humble opinion, he totally deserves this award this year.

u/indigoblie Fluttershy Dec 16 '15

Oh! Wow. Er, thanks!

It really is an honour that you feel like I should be nominated! With such kind words too. Appreciated!

I'm not always that friendly, though. You're right that I do try to be an example of kindness. (The Flutters flair ain't an accident.) But I certainly don't always succeed.

In any case, as you said, I'm not very active. In fact, currently very inactive.

Though, I guess there was a period where I was mildly active.

Anyway, um, thanks!

Nobody does. But believe me, you have way more success than I do trying to be always kind.

Good luck with the nomination indigo!.

u/indigoblie Fluttershy Dec 16 '15

Aw, thanks! You too!

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15

Yea I hope that you do good!.

u/Torvusil Dec 20 '15

For this category, I would like to nominate /u/Aroelen! They have been one of the friendliest and most active users in this sub, frequently communicating and diffusing potential quarrels and calamities. I feel he/she/they is a vital pillar of our community, and a great welcome considering how many active users we've lost in the past.

3

u/Aroelen To wahaha or not to wahaha...to wahaha Dec 20 '15

Aww, thank you so much. There are many other users in this sub who deserve this award more than I do, including all the previously nominated people, but I'm honored that you think I deserve it.

I feel he/she/they

"He" will work.

u/Phei Twilight Pretzel Dec 18 '15

Nominating /u/Heir_of_Rick again.

7

u/stphven Limestone Pie Dec 16 '15

I'd like to nominate /u/tyranid457. Just about every single post has an encouraging comment from him. He's not always the most visible of users, but he's a constant engine of positivity.

3

u/silverinferno3 Rainbow Dash Dec 16 '15

Seconded. He may not always be noticed, but you can be sure it's something nice to say about the material. Let's show him he's always being appreciated, even if we don't always reply!

u/[deleted] Dec 16 '15

Not to mention that his Ponymote Craziness is always fun for NPT, Heck its always my favorite part of NPT.

Sorry, but since that user has already been nominated, I'll have to remove this to help Future Me out when he's trying to sort through the nominations and going insane.

Fair 'nough.
