Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards
The Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards are accolades given to members of the Oddworld Forums based on the votes of other members. The awards were started in 2003 by Wolfpac, who ran the awards for their first five years. Wolfpac started the 6th Annual Awards but was unavailable to present the awards, so this was handled by Wired, who has run the awards ever since.
Procedure
Winners
Sixty-eight members have won at least one award in the Annual Oddworld Forums Poster Awards in the eight years they’ve been running. A sixty-ninth winner, Abbey, is the only winner of an award not to be a registered member of the Oddworld Forums: she is the daughter of OANST. Seven members have won more than ten awards in total:
- Max the Mug (19)
- Hobo (15)
- Nate (14)
- Alcar (14)
- Xavier (13)
- Bullet Magnet (12)
- OANST (11)
Max the Mug is the only member to have won the same award, ‘Member with the Greatest Oddworld Knowledge’, for all eight years. The next greatest consistency are members who have won the same award in four (not necessarily consecutive) years. Four members have accomplished this:
- Alcar (Oddworld Forums Unofficial Mascot)
- Splat (Best Writer)
- Wolfpac (Best Thread Creator)
- Xavier (Most Respected Poster and Most Dedicated Poster)
This also makes Max the Mug the only member to have won at least one award in all eight Awards; Alcar and Xavier have won at least one award in seven of the Awards. Of the fourteen winners of the ‘Member Who’d Make a Good Moderator’, seven went on to become moderators and one was previously a moderator.
The most awards won by a single member in one year is six, an accomplishment shared by three members: Jacob in the 1st Awards, Nate in the 5th Awards, and Bullet Magnet in the 6th Awards. The member to have won awards in the greatest number of different categories is Hobo, who has won at least one award in nine different categories; Alcar, Bullet Magnet, Max the Mug and Nate are shortly behind with eight.
