Subject: The Voting thread for a name for the new SOTM medal
Written By: K1chyd on 07/09/08 at 1:04 pm
A previous thread for additional name suggestions for the new SOTM award was by some mistaken to also be a voting thread, probably due to yours truly and his loquaciousness, his talkativeness, his verboseness, his wordiness, his garrulousness... (Editorial Break: OR his litanies) on the keyboard.
It wasn't, this is: THIS IS THE VOTING THREAD for a name for the new medal.
The suggestions are:
"The Golden Nugget Bullet Treasure Award"
"The Unplaced Original Song Encouragement Award"
"The New Frontier Parody of the Month"
"The Original Song Contribution Award Reward" (The OSCAR)
"The Nonetheless Astute Unplaced Song Encouragement Award" (The NAUSEA)
"The Formerly Unplaced Contribution Award" (The FUCA)
"The Monthly Formerly Unplaced Contribution Award" (The MFUCA or Montha FUCA)
"The Original Artistic Fulfillment Award" (The OAF Award)
"The Rare Original Song Endowment" (The ROSE)
You have until the last day of July 2008 to vote, same as with any SOTM round. The name with the most votes win. In the event of a tie I'll cast a separating vote, i.e I'll sit out regular voting and will then ONLY vote if needed to. (To avoid any additional split rules here too I figure that's a fair enough way to separate two or more suggestions if necessary).
Edit: Last minute suggestion from a third thread (!) was entered since no-one has voted yet.

OAF
(not just because I made it up, but I think it's pithiest in its acronym and meaning while being kind of witty...but I think mine will lose...)

But won't the Academy sue us? :-[ They sued everyone else over use of the name.

OSCAR the Grouch had to change his name to NAUSEA The Grouch because of those bassturds.

I also vote for the FUCA. That way, if I get it and exclaim 'I got the FUCA!", my brother in the next room will ask "What game are you playing now?" :P

It's just struck me that "Original Song Contribution Award", or OSCA might have been better (kind of a parody Oscar)
But I'm with CoP, in that I want to be able to say "I got the FUCA" (pronounced "few-kay"?)

The voting process is over.
Four out of seven votes was cast for...
The FUCA (The Formerly Unplaced Contribution Award).
Hence that is the winner.
Now all hail the new FUCA! :)
