SciOly Superlatives 2017

Post by Unome »

SciOly Superlatives returns again! For those of you who don't know what this is, it's a (mostly) annual occurrence where users are nominated for different categories, and are voted on, similar to what is done in many schools. You can see the previous years' threads here: 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 2016 (yeah I know there's no 2015, blame Koko :P )

The categories, copypasted from previous years, are as follows:

- Best Administrator
- Best Assassinator
- Best Cult Member (refers to cults organized around specific events, such as Entomology)
- Best Officer (on the assassinator games)
- Best Thread
- Biggest Grammar Nazi
- Biggest Nerd
- Biggest Procrastinator
- Clumsiest/Most Accident-Prone
- Funniest
- Future Dictator
- Future Mad Scientist
- Future Nationals Coordinator
- Future Nobel Prize Winner
- Least Likely to Have a Social Life
- Least Likely to Sleep, Period.
- Most Creative
- Most Dedicated
- Most Helpful
- Most Likely to Become a Teacher or Professor
- Most Likely to Sleep in Class
- Most Likely to Write a Novel
- Most Musical
- Most Original Username
- Most Painfully Intellectual
- Most Socially Awkward

Nominations can be submitted here. Nominations end at 2 PM on Thursday, June 1st.

I'll have to figure out a way to cut out the inevitable duplicate entries...

This is the highlight of my SciOly year, right here.

I clearly wasn't thinking when I said this, because I forgot about SAT. Anyway, here's the voting form:

Vote here!

Voting closes at 6:30 PM on Monday (because I know I'll be able to close it then).
