I know you guys have seen the pointless award/achievements that some of the other divisions have, like the "Apple Bottom Jeans" one for CSS, the "No." one for OP:X, or the "Who Let The Dogs Out?" one for BF. now the most important question is, why doesn't tf2 have one? We're obviously the best division after all. And we won't be considered the best division without a totally badass new award for no reason, right?

So heres what I think. Hear me out on this. It'll be called "Late" (You see where i'm going with this :D)

Basically its awarded who whoever does a repost of a thread, like if someone makes a thread about something that happened months/years ago, or if they make a thread that someone else has already made a thread about. Now, its not just that simple. Me, or someone else that has the skills do to this that I hand pick, must post this video.

I know your already amazed with how awesome this is. But I know what your thinking. "But noise, what could we do with the award artwork? I know it needs to be something amazing to grace such a wonderful award, but what could it be?" I know, that was exactly what you were thinking, probably word for word too. But the thing is, I already got that figured out.

That little beauty right there, is a picture of the college dropout bear, who was featured on the covers of Kanyes first 3 albums.

I know theres a small number of people who think this whole thing is just another troll on my part. But come on, you know it would be a great idea, even if you don't like kanye (thats impossible i know), you could at least appreciate the idea it self, right?

If y'all have any suggestions of your own, post them here, and if leadership would be ok with it, we could vote as a whole division to decide what the award should be. :D

So for those who didn't read, I'm saying we should make a new award/achievement for tf2, which serves no actual purpose but for fun. It doesn't necessarily have to be my idea (the kanye one), but thats the one I made up. You guys can feel free to make your own award idea, but you gotta supply it with artwork, and an explanation of how one receives it. Now I know leadership might not allow the award to become an actual award, but a month from now (3/18/12) We'll decide as a division what award should win. Now, if leadership is ok with the idea, then it will become the fun award, and then we'll all love the guy who made it (most likely me.), but if they aren't, i'll give a free hat or two to the winner! You're allowed to post your own ideas on this thread, or talk about other ideas. GO!

Say someone see's a tf2 related video on youtube, and decides to make a thread about it on the forums. Then, a few weeks or months later, someone else see's the same video, and makes a thread about it in the forums as well, but doesn't realize that there has already been a thread made about it. Thats a repost, so the guy is Late.

OR, if theres a video that was uploaded years ago, and posts a thread about it on the forums, then he is late.

In both of these cases, i'd post the late video, or someone else would, and then they'd get the achievement.
 
too much Kanye.

idea's hilarious though. also seems like the kind of thing I would go for on purpose.

its not really too much kanye, basically it just has the College Dropout bear for the achievement sign, and the Late song. Thats it.
 
With the influx of replay videos we've been seeing lately, how about an award akin to a Saxxy? Every arbitrary cycle of time to be determined, we have a judging of our favorite videos and give the winners an achievement award.

Oh wait...a non srs award? We should have something like a Mad Hatter award. People recommend others for this award based on the awesomeness of their hats.

Actually, clarify something for me, Noise: does the person who made the late repost get the award? Anybody could go throw an old video into one of his posts simply to get that award effortlessly.

^ I like that
 
ShoutBox award, c'mon, tf2, my home division should have the honours of having this award!

Like Caelestis posted below, what's to stop people who want the award from just browsing old threads, finding a video, and reposting it?

But I like the idea.

I'm totally for this Mad Hatter award

ShoutBox award, c'mon, tf2, my home division should have the honours of having this award!

Yes! Shoutbox award FTW!

Though if it is a TF2-only award, it only shoutbox posts about TF2 should count
 
I know, Lets have a Kanye-hunter award, when you dominate noise take a pic, send it to an advisor and BAM you get your award.

Theres still some kinks in the award, but yeah basically someone who makes a thread or something and then i'd post the late video, or someone else that i'd trust (to avoid giving the award to people who aren't actually late), and then they'd get the award? Im not sure.
 
And the only rule for the award is that you get it without achieving almost anything, meaning those who have many hats will be able to win and those who have no hats cant win. Everyone fails enough to repost stuff though.

And yes, we also need a shoutbox regular award.
 
Non-serious award? Well, we have the Safety Blanket. That's a rather dubious honour to receive.

We also have the most prestigious award: Stump the Teacher. More people have the Founder's Ribbon than have the StT.
