The Urist Awards
« on: July 17, 2012, 03:59:51 pm »

Some time ago, I forget on which thread, somebody suggested a sort of !!SCIENCE!! award thing. I am going to create this. We will have three categories: Academic (Crashing two candy carts filled with slade together), Practical (Building a better mousetrapGoblin Melter) and Megaprojects ( like Bloodbeard's word processor). Please nominate previous science projects, or post your own. Nominations will close at 3:00 PM American Central Time tomorrow. I will put up a poll shortly after that. Voting will continue for ten days, because I will be gone for that time. If you make a project, create a thread and post your screenshots there. Then post a link here. If you know anyone who has a cool megaproject, tell them about this thread.

Practical: The improved magma pumpstack.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

2.
Or the nobel prize for !!SCIENCE!!. DS, Sphalerite, Girlinhat..Aussie. We will let you know when we accept you as part of our all knowing overlords. ALL HAIL THE !!SCIENTISTS!!
We do need a award for !!SCIENCE!!, Seriously, and
The nobel prize stays in sweden. The McUrist is awarded for ultimate dwarfdom.
The Urist is a great name. Seriously, someone make this.I wont even claim credit. Categories could be, uh, i dont know. At least three given out yearly. I demand this be a thing. Someone make a thread.
Credit can be split. Will the award be a *Golden Figurine(of Socks)*?

Sorry for not posting for a while. I can't stay on for long, so I won't update for your ideas yet.
