Means a lot coming from you! I've also got the racket, the Japanese uniform both colors including shorts and the red aerus 3 ... even the undergear he wore once. I only need that NTT-East uniform lol. P.S. We've got a few similar choice with respect to the matches. BAC was definitely a highlight!!
Hey, we are both minions fans. Thanks for nominating me. When minions starts to enter to the court, everyone around the world will instantly open the TV or youtube for live streaming to watch them play. Most of minions' matches are short, but everyone wait for the minions' matches for so long. Hmmm, for the Most Dedicated Member, I think you can nominate yourself here. Looks like @Cunning Linguist will win the awards the most. Where is he? I want to see his unbiased nomination.

Reason and logic, objectivity and balance, cordiality and neutrality, all of it - none. If I have to name one, my choice is @RedShuttle who simply makes his point tersely and be done with it, without bothering to debate or quarrel with anyone, hardly ever. (To be frank, I was originally uninterested in this exercise for reasons of my own, and only acceded to somebody's personal request to do so)
Darn it, I feel like I should be nicer, but then I think I'm a sarcastic person, if he was raised to get butthurt over everything, not my problem. Lol j/k frankly speaking, I could care less about this awards thingy. Not sure whats my answers gonna be for all of those nominations since I barely know anyone here. Only visit this site if there is a big tourney which minions taking part innit.
You know what's funny? I almost nominated you because of your cute minions GIFs, but thought better to nominate myself instead LOL. So good job and please keep posting those. You could nominate for the players and leave all the users nominations out.
Everyone will have chance to vote before 16 December 8:00 pm Indian Standard Time. The nomination process will be closed after that. The Award Ceremony will begin at 8:45 pm IST. Best of luck to all the members who dream to win something at 2018 BCYEA.
Impossible to reach a conclusion without rushing up the process. The General feeling is that @s_mair has been better in covering up TTY's losses. He has always had better excuses lined up like the ''The Shoe-makers screwed up this time, the racquet tension was too high, the motivation was at it's lowest possible in (insert any majors)''. While @visor is all about appreciating her loose grip and fawning over her 10 pack abs. S_mair sells his points better while visor plays it safe at times.
