The main reason for this is that I want to be able to nominate this thread by the Sarge.
u.
heh...I'll second that, that was a fun one.

How very postmodern of you.
I like it. I'll second it.
[Especially if we make like the CIA...
Peeps can LOOK at the Watchy, peeps can KNOW the award
was given...but no one can know WHO got nor WHY except the DW. [Director of Watchies].

It means every person who is unlikely to win a different Watchy is in a perpetual state of both winning and not-winning the "least likely to win" award.
To keep it a bit shorter, I started collecting a list, but as it turns out:
I second all the propositions above.
Also adding (hopefully I didn't overlook anything):
Best written form parody
Best graphic parody
Best RP (GT) game
Best RP (GT) character
Best alt
Gadfly of the year
Best avatar
Best signature
Best title
Funniest Watcher
Watcher with best puns
Watcher with best attitude to different points of view
MIA Watcher
Most thought-provoking thread
Most unusual thread
I'd like to expand on one of Effael's suggestions and propose...
Most thought-provoking Watcher.
Newsflash: the word "irony" doesn't mean "a bit like iron"

how can that have not already been a category???
I know once upon a time I was nominated for such...I don't recall if I won it or not...and I'm pretty sure you, u. were once nominated for it [did you win? I don't recall? I think I voted for you...but it might have been sheep [where IS sheep, anyway?] or peter year...
anyway, third [just for fun].
And, anyway, reason I came here today...
proposed:
Most Inspirational [objective]...the watcher who made you run off and check facts/data/sources the most [heh...reasonable chance, if the voter is honest, they'll be voting for someone they really disagree with a lot.]
[[[that could perhaps be a person or thread?? does it overlap some other ones too much??]]]
Most Inspirational [subjective]...this one is clearer than the one above.
The Watcher who made you ask yourself personal identity questions most often.
Anyway, I said proposed not suggested cuz they might need some tightening/reworking to make sense. I like my second as is. The first...well, smack it about if you feel like it.

Short answer: Our gracious moderator seems to be approaching Watchies as a start-from-zero proposition this year, now that her Watchy co-mod has stepped away from the Watch. This is not a rejection of any of the excellent historic categories for Watchies...she just wants to have them (as well as any new ones) grass-roots suggested and seconded. Makes sense in a way, as it keeps the list to those categories where people presumably have candidates in mind and prevents having categories where nobody gets nominated.

especially since, though I appreciate SD taking the time to post an answer, what I MEANT was "Wow, I can't believe no one thought to suggest that one like 50 posts ago!"
