User blog:Smash The Echidna/SFW Summer 2011 Awards: Smash's Votes.

Okay, I'mma place my votes for the SFW Summer Awards. For those of you who haven't voted/nominated, Do so now. Summer is practically over (it's definitely over for most people) so this will probably be ending soon. Prepare for a small review on each nomination. Sorry this took so long, but I had to go and look through half of every single page by copypasting the names into the search bar. It was a lot of work. .__.; Anyway, Here's what I've got.

Best Roleplay

The Elemental Wars : I can't say what my opinion on this is, because it had been restarted. Though if it was restarted, there must be some reason behind it, which leads me to assume that it wasn't all that great in the first place. Pardon me if I'm wrong.

The Troll Chronicles :...I'm gonna have to vote against that. My reasons? It wasn't very well played out, number one. I was in it. I kept getting left behind because people didn't bother to try and keep my contributions flowing. I was going about it regularly, meanwhile everyone else was just warping here and there to several different parts. It ended up with me being on Part 5 while everyone else was on Part 8. So I just quit. I'm not gonna do a full review on the rest of the bad things, but I'm also not fond of Trolls. At all. So, There goes my vote for that.

The Wall : Oh wow. A serious school roleplay? That's interesting. I kinda feel bad for Floyd, though I didn't read much. It's somewhat amusing how messed up this school is. Though my autohitting sensor is blinking, I think I'll pass on the vote for this one.

Odyssey : As a part of this roleplay, I would be proud to vote for this one being the best roleplay of 2011 on this wiki. It's story is intriguing, and it gives a sense of danger and dispair, and really makes everyone pull their freaking weight and work together. The main roleplayers are all skilled, and we all do our fair share of keeping it in order to let it flow smoothly. One would think that we're almost at the climax of the story, but we're not even close. The suspense is killing me. I give this roleplay my vote.

Best Fanfic

The Return of Scratch and Grounder : oy. I knew this wasn't gonna be good the moment I saw the name. And the already existing vote against this wasn't helping. First of all, Scratch and Grounder are robots. They can't eat or drink beer, and they most certainly can't get fat from eating too much. If a robot were to actually eat or something and take in too much food, they wouldn't expand. They'd just burst and break. Not to mention I don't think you should make characters from a childrens show drinking alchohol. It's just...wrong. I'm voting against this.

Through the Eyes of a Nobody : Well, I've seen this one hanging around for a while. Skimming over it, It looks pretty well written. It's nice to see someone actually putting some effort into their work around here. Also, I'm shocked Violet was shocked about his lack of powers. Yet..it kinda makes sense. Every other character on this wiki has a power of some sort. So it's kinda rare to run into someone without any powers. Anyway, This gets my vote.

Sonic Noir : Give me a link. I can't find this at all. It's like it doesn't exist.

Krinkinko The Hedgehog's Story : Yeah, so uh, This needs work. I'm sure you know that already. I'm gonna leave this alone.

The chronicles of Sonic Rise of Heroes/Story : Hm. Well, It's not written like a story should be, but seeing how it's the plot of a game. I can't say I approve of Blaze being in the future, rather than the Sol dimension like she should have been. I haven't read the whole thing, but the time traveling is gonna get confusing, I'm sure. So, I'm gonna leave this one alone as well.

Best Hero

Smash The Echidna : Well, what can I say? He's my character. I won't vote for him, though, since that would be unfair. But let me compare him to his competition. I'll continue this after the review on the others.

Kyle Tyris The Hedgehog : Oh, I forgot you were here, actually. Another one of my characters. Like Smash, I'll compare afterwards.

Krinkinko The Hedgehog : I dunno if I can call him the best hero. Honestly, he means well and all, but he's just not cut out for being the best. He's rash, hasty, impatient, and kinda immature. Of course he's going through some character development, but he's not ready for this title yet. Sorry, man.

Cold The Hedgehog : No. I hate to break it to ya, but This guy is not the best hero. At all. My vote goes against him. And here's why. First of all, Cold's got an attitude problem. (Not as bad as Metal The Wolf did a while back, but still.) Going by the roleplay's I've been in, He's got a thing for just sitting there and going "Hmph" or "Crap!" at the situations, and not doing much to help. One of the worst offenders was the Infamous Battle for the Ultimate Soul Caliber. He turned against the good guys, for the stupidest reasons you could come up with. That Alone is enough to convince me that he is not a good hero. And then, Odyssey. The entire RP, he has done absolutely nothing constructive the whole 7 chapters so far. All he did was complain about the heat, turn into his dark form, and ditch the group. And appear out of freaking nowhere at random times just to say one word and probably disappear back to whence he came. And then he has the nerve to call Tendril, someone who was actually fighting for the sake of the world, AND commanding a whole army at his side, A weakling. I mean, Where does this guy get off? Honestly, after that, I can't imagine how he could even be on this list. I'm sorry for being rude or anything, But the truth had to be stated. This guy can't be the best hero acting like this.

Now, Comparing these two to Smash. Smash actually DOES something. He works to try and resolve the problem in a rational matter. He may not have all the powers that every other hero does, but he's strong in more ways than one. He tries to keep all his friends informed on what's going on, and work together to fix whatever problem is at hand. He puts his friends before himself, and always tries to keep them safe. He will NOT ditch his friends for whatever reason. He will NOT betray his ideals, his friends, justice, any of that, for any good (or bad) reason. He doesn't go rushing head first into things, he thinks matters through. He's mindful of other people's feelings, and won't try to stress them out or depend on them all the time. Because of all of this, He is looked up upon as a leader. Not even just by my own characters, but a few others as well. Now, I'm not just saying this, but it's because of his actions that some RP's situations didn't actually worsen, both in story and ooc. The Battle for the Ultimate Soul Caliber would have been 300x worse if he weren't in it. He was one of the only sane people who kept everything on track, even if just barely. People would have been running amok, killing eachother left and right for NO REASON. (though they already did do that a lot, nobody really died from it.) In Odyssey, though it's not really a big example of saving the story, He was one of the leaders. Even if not officially, He took initiative, and kept everything organized in terms of their plans and movements. And he's done that in countless other roleplays, more than half of them not on this wiki (but explained in his roleplay series). If someone like THIS were to lose to someone who's close to being the opposite to him in traits and a guy who doesn't do anything to help at all and even betrayed his friends for some stupid reason, I think I've lost 40% of my faith in this wiki.

After talking about Smash like that, I made even Kyle seem obsolete. But Kyle is much like Smash, except for the fact that he doesn't take as much initiative in being the leader. He will do so if Smash isn't around, but for the most part he lets Smash take the role as the leader. Kyle is generally far nicer than Smash, and treats everyone equally. Kyle is honorable, noble, and has an even greater sense of justice than Smash. He follows his heart and tries to do the right thing all the time. His real heroic actions have not been shown on this wiki, unfortunately. It's possible that the reason is because I don't use him much on here. Either way, he's up among the ranks with Smash.

Now, I'm sorry if it seems like I'm trying to mooch votes off of people, but this kinda had to be said. As much as I don't want to vote for my own characters, I can't stand to see them lose to this kind of competition. It's just so wrong.

Best Villain

Immarius : Interesting character. The back story is acceptable. At first glance I was thinking "Oh, boy. Not another alien/genie/otherworldly character." as my thoughts traced back to Sonic 06, Shadow The Hedgehog, and Sonic and the Secret Rings. But he seems to have been well played out. Good job with this. +1 vote.

Darkyle the Hedgehog : I don't expect this guy to get many votes, mainly because you all barely know anything about him. Aside from what's on his page, I have never used this guy in any recent RP, Ever. (Though he is scheduled to make an appearance as a revived villain in Odyssey.) Well, seeing how nobody's gonna consider voting for him unless I explain anything, Here's the deal. Darkyle was the adopted brother of Kyle Tyris. In fact, he was originally named Kyle himself before the Kyle we all know was born. He was originally going to be raised to be the next guardian of their village of Tillia, and be the wielder of the legendary Gemblade. But then the real Kyle was born, and to follow with tradition, they had to give that status to the blood son. Darkyle became jealous when he learned of this, years later. After a failed attempt to take revenge on his father for seemingly decieving him and playing favorites, he was banished from the village. He was left to wander around on his own, and eventually came across an object (which I will not reveal, because it will be spoilers for something) And that object corrupted his mind, and nearly took over his body and soul. It nearly killed him, but he survived and became who he is now.

That's basically long story short. Once again I can't vote for him since he's my character, so I'm just gonna leave that tidbit of info there.

E.N.S.H .: I'm not sure I really understand this character...No vote from me.

Averna the Queen of Death : Nice history lesson. Okay seriously, this character seems like she'd be surprisingly good for a roleplay, if played properly. I'm against some of the whole worshipping thing, but that just goes to show how cruel she was. She's had quite a bit of thought put into her, I can see that. +1 Vote.

Suprano : Ah, I remember you. Jealousy is written all over this guy. Unfortunately since I haven't seen him in any real RP's, and there's a lack of information on his page, I can't give my vote just yet. I need to see this guy in action.

Dr. Eggplankton : Dude, seriously? No way. I HATE Spongebob, and I completely oppose of this character even existing on this wiki.

RMG-24 : Hm. Interesting concept, but not much more. Sorry, but I don't think he's cut out for a vote. Not voting against him, though.

Best Anti-Hero

Lol-Asl The Bee : Sorry, but I'm not voting for any trolls. Period.

Majeek the Flying Squirrel : Interesting, but I dunno. I have a few questions about this character, though I noticed the author themself noted that she looks nothing like a flying squirrel, which only semi-answers one question. I dunno if I'll be voting for this character.

Standerd The Hedgehog : Seriously, What is up with these half baked articles that are getting nominated? It's almost like you didn't even try..or it's unfinished. Either way, it shouldn't be nominated. Voting this down.

Best User

Y'know what...I don't know who to vote for. I have nothing against either of you, I just can't really decide on a vote for any of you. So I'm just gonna leave you all blank. No offense or anything intended. Moving on.

Best Admin:

Memphis The Light : Well, He's hard working, honest, and cares for everyone around him. We need more admins like this guy. He's new to the staff and already he's set a better example than some of the previous admins. Keep up the good work, my friend! +1 Vote!

Kagimizu : With all this conflict going on about this guy, sometimes it's kinda hard to decide what I think of him. He's got an attitude, and his stress gets the better of him, but looking past that, he's probably done more for the wiki than most of the other staff. As long as he keeps his anger in check, he's a good admin.

Lightning2315 : Honestly I don't recall what kind of admin work she's done. It may be that I'm not as active on here as I should be or what. I just don't see her doing as much rule enforcing/administrative chores around here as the other guys. But when she put her foot down about people's crappy articles and whatnot, I honestly have to give her kudos for that.

Best Female Character

Shanoa the Fox : Hey, I remember this character. She looks so out of place, but it's probably because she's based off of Castlevania. I'm probably gonna leave my vote off of this person, seeing how it's a sort of crossover type thing that doesn't look fitting. Though she's an interesting character to be sure.

Myesha the Echidna : I dunno. Page needs a little work, and her backstory is kinda meh. I'm just gonna say this. If she fell in love with Shadow, I would immediately vote this down.

Zyde : Ah, I remember this person. The page is very cluttered, it needs to be organized. The character herself is okay. I'll give this girl a vote up.

Princess Falalala-Stu the Echidna : I dunno. I'm kinda neutral about this person.

Rosaline Rose : Another neutral. I'd be talking about how I don't like characters being related to official ones, but seeing how she appeared to be exclusive to a story/game taking place 100 years in the future, I can make an exception. Still, neither voting up nor down. (I gotta stop being so neutral.)

Best Male Character

Dismal The Hedgehog : The poor thing doesn't deserve to be a troll. I think all these votes are from pity. And so is this one.

Statyx The Hedgehog : Hmm...interesting. Now I'm totally against these ultimate lifeform things and relatives of official characters, but Statyx kind of makes it work. A lot of thought put behind it to try and make it work. Regardless, I still stand by my views and will leave this vote alone.

Omega MK II : Do you mean E-102 Gamma MkII? Because Omega MK II doesn't exist. If it's indeed Gamma, then I suppose I could vote this up seeing how I really liked Gamma. Wait, Hold up a sec! Gamma AND Omega are both robots. Do Robots even have genders?? (I know it's obvious that they're male if anything, but still. Should this count?)

Krinkinko The Hedgehog : Eh, I'll wait and see where that character development gets him. For now, no vote.

Sledge The Hedgehog : Well, he's got some thought put into him, but it's another one of those genetically created hedgehogs who are once again related to official characters. I'm not sure what it is with you guys and stealing canon characters' DNA to make your own. I'm not giving this guy a vote.

Smash The Echidna : See above.

Droget The Frog : Eh, I'm neutral about this guy, too. I was never really fond of him, but I have no real reason to dislike him.

Best Father

Krinkinko The Hedgehog : I find it amusing that the only competition Smash has in this category is him. Honestly, I don't think Krink's cut out for it. Judging by what he was saying to Smash about raising her, He's definitely not cut out to being a father. (Not to mention he's pretty young to be raising a child.) Though I haven't been following up on how he's treating his child, so I can't really give him a vote.

Smash The Echidna : Well, Once again I Can't vote for my own character. Honestly I don't think you guys will be voting much for him, seeing how his children have yet to appear in any RP on this site. It's because I share the characters with another person who is not on this site. In general, Smash is very good with children, much to many people's surprise.

Best Mother

Lightning "Selenia" Blisslight : Get this girl some competition, Then we'll talk.

Best Location

Maeshar : Hm, Interesting. I dunno where I stand on this one.

Station Square (After Sonic Adventure DX) : I've always loved Station Square. +1

Chasm Hollows : Well, this place is certainly interesting, but I think I'll hold my vote on this one.

E.G.G.Metropolis : Dang. Scrap Brain zone is mixed up with this? I think this deserves a vote up.

Twerunka Jungle : Once again, I'm neutral about this place. Very peculiar name, by the way.

Best Couple

Meh, I'm almost tempted to skip over this. I'd be lying if I said I was interested in the romance of characters I barely even know.

Roxu : Roxy friggen creeps me the heck out. No.

Selenda : What I don't get is why This and Mempia, which both include Selenia, are in the same place. Honestly I like Memphia more, so this lacks my vote.

Hikemph : Interestingly enough, this is the only couple that isn't fiction. O.o; Well, I'm happy for you two either way. +1

Drogin : Er..A frog and a Snail...I remember Droget coming to Smash for advice on this one. >.>; I'm neutral about this.

Memphia : Overview is a bit meh, but the couple is nice. +1

Tsuan : Honestly with the way I've seen Tsunami acting, it's hard to believe she's even interested in anyone. Not voting here.

Funniest Crack Pairing

No.

Weakest Character

Dismal The Hedgehog

Chris Thorndyke

lol what.

I'mma have to chose Chris. At least Dismal can shield himself by curling up into a ball. If Chris gets into a fight without any kind of weapon, he's history.

Strongest Character

Alasdair the Lionolf : Once again, we have a halfbaked character. His page is practically empty.

Saizo Marushagan : I dunno, but ever since the Cosmic Championship I've felt like him being one of the strongest characters became a meme of some sorts, but that may just be me. I suppose you could put my vote up there.

Summers the Hedgehog : I find it amusingly unfair that a DBZ inspired character is on this list. I have to agree with Kasei on the talk page about a few things that irk me, but he's alright. I'm gonna hold my vote on this guy as well, though.

Endac Dragonbane the Hedgehog : I don't understand why this guy has so many chaos powers and he's not even from Mobius. Not even Shadow has nearly that many. He's got a cool picture and all, but I don't like his abilities section one bit. My vote is pointed downward.

Keith The Dragonolf : Haha, no. Sorry, but no. If he got the snot beaten out of him not once, but 3 times already by Smash, AND got beat down by his little sister, He's not cut out for this. Voting down.

Nyel : I'm sorry, but I can't really see how he's the strongest. His abilities are very interesting, and he has some very dangerous powers if used for offensive means, but that's about it. I can't say he's really the strongest at all.

Smash The Echidna : Smash is the rare example of a character who relies on his wits as well as his strength. He wasn't originally intended to have any sort of powers at all, but eventually he learned how to control his own energy, or life force. Through much training, his abilities with his energy have greatly improved. Note that this is all the result of character development, not being created with those abilities. I've always been afraid of making Smash too overpowered ever since I started fixing him up, but I've come to realize that there are so many other characters out there who are stronger than him with all those powers, some being just below overpowered. Yet Smash still prevails. He has had few loses, even when the stakes were high and the chances were slim. I'm having trouble naming all of his losses. Also remember I can't vote for him, so yeah. Just talking here.

The Elder of Frog Village : Eh, I dunno. The only time I saw him in action was in the Shadow Crystal Cloud Tournament, and he seemed to be blatantly overpowered. But that was a long time ago, so he may have changed for the better. Can't really voice my opinion here yet.

Best Fursona

I still feel like I barely have a clear understanding on what a Fursona is, even though I kinda know what it is. I'm just gonna skip over this one.

Best Conflict

Statyx-Trolls Conflict : Who WOULDN'T hate these guys? I can't blame this guy one bit. If it weren't for the fact that I'm keeping them trolls out of my series entirely, I'd give them a piece of my mind. +1 vote.

Licko-Capt Conflict : I don't care for either of these characters, so I wouldn't care for their conflict.

Duan-RMG-24 : Meh. Neutral.

Best Friendship

I'm not even gonna bother looking over the characters and just say Sonic and Tails. They've been together since around the beginning of the franchise. That's some history they've got.

Best New Character

Vecher the Pika : Well first things first. I probably would have never known what a Pika was until I saw this page. At first I thought it was a play on Pikachu, (but it's probably the other way araound.) but I realized it wasn't. He's not a bad character. Makes me want to write a profile for my original human wizard. I'll give him my vote.

Nyel : Well, this guy is kinda interesting. I'll give him my vote as well.

Jesse the Echidna : AUGH! FACELIFT, WHYYYY!? No seriously. That dollmaker pic. Eyes Do Not Work Like That. The rest of his page is meh, and kinda lackluster. Give him some more work (and fix that picture!) and then come back. Honestly, you guys need to stop nominating characters who's pages barely have any info.

Myesha : Meh. No vote.

Zeline : Ehh...I dunno. I have mixed feelings about this character. =/

Majeek the Flying Squirrel : Can't really vote for this character being the best. Sorry.

Floyd the Pink Echidna : I have mixed feelings about this guy too. No vote.

Patty the Skunk : wha..no. Just no. Voting down.

Most Beautiful Characters

Lightning Selenia Blisslight : Seeing how this girl's design changed so much, it's almost hard to say. But I guess I'll throw in my vote for the positive.

Bella the Bandicoot : I dunno. Kinda neutral here.

Aloe the Fox : Only one pic and it's a dollmaker one. I can't really say that she qualifies in my opinion.

Pearl the Echidna : Ohey, it's Pearl! It's rumored that a lot of guys try to hit on her. >.>; <.<; Well I don't have much to say here. Just don't look at her old pictures and judge.

Clara the Hedgehog : Okay, I know the only picture is a dollmaker one, but hey I tried to get a new one! I didn't have much luck. The only picture I got of her was indeed well drawn, but it was rather out of character and kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Clara leaning on the wall in a very awkward manner while chewing Eggman bubblegum just seems wrong.

Patricia the Skunk : Sorry but no.

Most Handsome Character

Mazda the Lion : Wow. An actual lion character who looks like he'd fit in the Sonic universe, despite his muscular build. I can only assume he's got fangirls all over him for that. +1 vote.

David the Echdina, father of Smash the Echidna : Just a reminder, I put him up for the laughs. Go ahead and vote for him, you drooling fangirls. You know who you are. =P (Putting the link up here.)

Gale the Hedgehog : Eh...Kinda pales in comparison to the other guys around here.

Solarestro the Cosmic : I really like this guy's design. I'mma give him my vote.

Best Fangame:

The Chronicles of Sonic the Hedgehog: Rise of the Heroes : Honestly, it's got potential to be a good game, if it were made. But this is just a fanfic, more or less.

Sonic Advance X : Once again, it's not really a real game. I'm not going to vote for a game that's not even in production.

Splice The Hedgehog (RPG Fangame) : Do not mix this up with the other fangames out there. Splice The Hedgehog is a real fan game that is NOT wishful thinking. I am working as hard as I can to produce this game, and I'm showing results. I've gotten a lot of real positive feedback on this game, not something I made up just to make it look like a good game. Look at the page, Look at the videos, Look at what I'm doing. What I'm trying so hard to make, what I've been spending the last few years trying to create by myself. I have nothing against the above two nominations, but If all this hard work is lost to something that people just thought up and imagined being an actual game, I could just sit over in a corner and cry.

Best Transformation

Dark Krinkinko : I'm not really fond of dark forms, unless the dark form is played out well. Otherwise...meh.

Black Hearted Krinkinko : Surprisingly, I like this better than regular Dark Krinkinko. But still, no vote from me.

Ultra Smash : I need to finish remaking his transformation animation. Here's the older one.

Memphilmes the Corrupt : I was highly disappointed when I saw the lack of an actual drawing of this. I hope he gets one up soon, if he's keeping this form. Otherwise, eh I can't really say where I stand on this one.

Ogre Jack : No. Just..no. -1 vote.

Dark side of the moon Floyd : Another seemingly generic dark form. No thanks.

Dragoeith : I wasn't even aware this was a transformation until I saw this up here. No vote.

Best Rivalry

Sonic VS Shadow is the only one on here and they've got 2 votes for and one against. What.

Factional Topics

What

Tallest Characters

Only one guy in here.

Biggest Characters

Big The Cat : It's obvious that I'm voting for him.

Jackbot Nega : I think it's cheating to put a robot in here. You're free to build it however big you want. Voting this down.

Youngest Character

Cream The Rabbit : She's young, but not young enough.

Krinketta The Seedrian : Um, I remember when Krinketta was born. So..yeah. Voting for her.

Oldest Character

Once again, only one guy in here.

Smartest Character

Bubonic The Hedgehog : No. Trolls.

Mariele The Hedgehog : She's either mad, or brilliant.

Fevine Gemstone : After that whole Metal Smash incident, I'm reluctant to vote for him. .__.;

Omni-Viewer : I feel that computers/robots and the like are cheating in this case. Voting down.

Gizmo The Cat : And here's my character. Please take a look at him and consider and compare his intelligence to the other characters. Specifically, I'd prefer if you look at his list of creations. (Which is still growing, by the way) Some of those things have won him awards in other places. (The Magic Wings won the Kids Choice Awards hosted on 4kids some years ago, and the Remote Controlled Bow&Arrows won him a gold trophy in the RP "Camp Crystal".) I'm eager to know if he can achieve yet another one.

Smash The Echidna : I'm putting him up here not because of his "vast knowledge" and/or abilities to create/invent things, or because he's capable of being a scientist or anything like that. Neither of those reasons. No. I'm putting him up here because he seems to be the only character with some freaking common sense around here, and the brains to use it properly. No offense to the other smart characters, but really. In several RP's I've been in, it felt like Smash was the only sane, only smart person in the whole dang thing. It might partly be because of his genre savviness, but only partly. Read some of the roleplays I've been in on here with him, (not so much of the good ones like Odyssey) and you'll understand.

Dumbest Character

Well this totally isn't a demeaning category. I'm just gonna vote for Lucky Because She's a troll. Trolls are dumb. 'Nuff said.

Character's who've birthed the most kids

Seriously, this is the weirdest category yet. Honestly I have no idea how many kids either of them have, so I can't say anything about this.

Users with the most edits

Okay...another weird category. Probably because it can be easily solved by comparing the two's edits.

Hikaru: 58,187

Ryu: 58,176

So unless something is done, ( Ryu, start spamming more. ) My vote sticks with Hikaru.

Most Missed User who Left

The only one I really know in this category is Artimis. He gave Kyle his last name. ;_; My vote is for him.

Richest Character

And for the last one, we get a lone troll bathing in his fortune within the luxury of his mansion. What a way to end this ridiculously long blog. >.>;

And That concludes my mass voting for the summer! Until next time, folks. If anyone's got any comments on my opinions, feel free to speak up. Sorry for speaking so bluntly about some of the characters, but hey, the truth must be told one day.
