Howdy folks!
First off, let me say that I’m very sorry that I can’t be here to present this award in person; however it is a great honor to be involved with this in any way – even if I am writing this LONG before the ceremony is scheduled to begin :P
Enough of my nattering...as I’m sure _V_ has already announced, I’m here to present the award for the Most Outstanding New Member – a rather odd choice, considering that I abstained from voting in this category in the first place, heh.
However, the rest of you certainly made your choices known, and the result was an absolute blowout. Here are your nominees:
Festered
Psycom5K
Ferox13
Cactus
ChronoGrl
FerretChucker
Fortunato
Aside from our winner, all of the nominees received but a single lowly vote.
Your choice was quite obvious on this one: with an outstanding
16 votes, the winner is...
ChronoGrl!
Although it seems she is still considered a newbie, ChronoGrl is without question a valued and treasured part of the HDC family. My first real exposure to her was during the HDC Battle Royale, in which she proved to be both a valuable teammate and a dangerous opponent. Using her feminine wiles to their greatest advantage, she mopped the floor with many far more experienced members.
And then...well, then we’ve got the cat. It’s hard to mention Chrono without bringing up that great hairless beast that for some ungodly reason she calls a pet. I’ll refrain from making any more comments about it for fear that I might not wake up tomorrow.
Even though I personally find it hard to considerer her a “new” member, I guess that’s only because she quickly and effortlessly worked her way into this big ol’ HDC family...Ripley, on the other, might take a little longer to warm up to.
So, on behalf of all of HDC, I’m overjoyed to present our beloved
ChronoGrl with her 2008 Horrie Award:
Congratulations!!
