Yep, the worst contest ever has returned for its second outing! The new and improved categories for this year are:

• Best New Character
  
• Best Post
  
• Best Joke Character
  
• Best Subplot
  
• Best Battle
  

Remember, this year we're allowing entries from:

• Malignant
  
• BZPB Unending
  
• The Mazkertis Paradox
  
• Beyond Insanity
  

Nominations close on the 2nd of January, unless I can't be bothered in which case they close on the 3rd. If you're going to nominate something for Best Post, please link to the post, and if you're nominating something for Best Battle, please link to the first post of the battle. Oh, and please don't nominate your own characters or posts. If they're really good, someone else should nominate them anyway.

Thank you, and may the least shit entries win!

Best New Character: Leviathan (BZPB/BZPB Reborn), User Nif (The Mazkertis Paradox)
Best Post: KANYE vs. Pinker (Beyond Insanity)
Best Joke Character: Boltman (BZPB), The Heller (BZPB), Takumi Fujiwara (Beyond Insanity)
Best Subplot: The Tiger Youth overthrow Lord Gaon
Best Battle: The Battle of Shinar-Karana (The Mazkertis Paradox)

These nominations were difficult, since I had to choose characters and subplots that were introduced only this year (and none of my own), but I think these ones were definitely worth nominating.

I for one welcome this contest as something fun and joyful, and not terrible.

Best New Character: Edward Allman, Ashton Carney, Corporal Dreis "Dutch" Bright, Veras, Sefer Yetzirah (All from Reborn), Tarvias Deep (Avalon Crisis), Sir Hecklock Homie (MU).
Best Post: What Clay and DRJ said.
Best Joke Character:Brendan Fraser (Malignant), Samuel Tock Malychar (Malignant), Moonman (Beyond Insanity and The Mazkertis Paradox), Duke Nukem (original BZPB), Frank "Dank" Underwood (Beyond Insanity),the YONBOTS (original BZPB).
Best Subplot: Dongers on Meme World , Realpolitik (Reborn) (technically it's not mine since I didn't start it).
Best Battle:  The Battle of the Sundowner Expanse, User Kon vs. Dukamu (The Mazkertis Paradox), Battle Inside a White Church (The Mazkertis Paradox).

I also would like to add the category "Character We Need To See More Of" for those who only appeared a couple of times this year and didn't get the limelight they deserve (but hopefully will get in 2016). For this, I nominate Yenot (Reborn), Tarvias Deep, Fergus mac Aodhan (Reborn), Calaran (MU) (also known as Young CJ Cregg), Flesh-Eater (original BZPB and Malignant), Sir Hecklock Holmes (MU) and all of Arbottei (Reborn).

That sort of overlaps with Best New Character, though, doesn't it? Maybe next year.

This list is subject to change as I remember other things. There are certain items I would've nominated but won't because others have already done so - I admit that this is mainly to make it easier for me myself to keep track of everything.

Best New Character: Evangelise Ascheron, William Douglas Reed (both Reborn), Sir Hecklock Homie (MU)
Best Post: Gabriel Ascheron tries to force Evangelise to marry Figlio (Reborn), Nif's introduction (Reborn)
Best Joke Character: User Heat (Beyond Insanity)
Best Battle: TPK and his droids v. Coro and the Knights of the Keruvim (TMP)
Best Subplot: The merc plot (Reborn)

Best New Character: Edward Allman, Evangelise ASScheron (both Reborn)
Best Post: The Asiimov Collective debates contacting Saint Blank
Best Joke Character: S. Toch Malychar
Best Subplot: Merc Plot (Reborn)
Best Battle: Sundowner Expanse (Reborn)

Difficult choosing honestly, primarily because my memory is failing me.

The nominations are now closed.

Now, because you guys nominated so much stuff, the Best New Character category has been split up into two polls: one for BZPB Reborn, and one for all the other RPGs/TMP. The winners of each poll will go to a run-off.

Best New Character (Reborn)
Best New Character (All Other RPGs+TMP)
Best Battle
Best Subplot
Best Joke Character
Best Post

Run-off polls are here:
