Attention! Floodscar 2008.

The "Chief Cynic" award goes to me because it was made specifically for me — find someone more cynical and show them, well, I'd actually be curious to see.
You could have voted, by the way, instead of just abstaining and abstaining — are there really no worthy candidates?
And respect to Ekz, I honestly thought nobody would bother hosting it, but he didn't slack off and went through with it. As for the missing nominations, that's my fault — I usually come up with them 20 minutes before voting, and those nominations were just rough drafts I wrote back in February. So Ekz deserves unequivocal respect and a big thank you personally from me.

Alright, so the next nomination is "O_o The Amazing Person o_O".
This nomination is also fairly loose — it could be someone who constantly surprises you and brings unexpected things, or someone you find quirky and original.
Personally, for me, that person is Loken. As a complete introvert, I'm amazed by the ease with which he can share his emotions and thoughts, and easily admit his weaknesses. For me, that's hard to grasp, even though I'm a very sociable person — I'm a pure introvert, meaning I usually keep things to myself, and showing emotions beyond those I consider necessary to display is something beyond me. I used to think Loken was a cynic, but I eventually realized that's not the case. Cynicism is a psychological defense (at least for me) — when I don't want to show emotions, I hide them behind cynicism. But Loken simply doesn't need that, because he shares his emotions and thoughts with extreme ease, which personally strikes me as amazing. Also, I never expected there would be hardcore players on the HeroesWorld forum, and even Warhammer fans (professionals?) to boot.)))) So my vote definitely goes to Loken.
P.S
And also, he can knock you off your feet with his forum topics)))))

and is it just me, or has the flood-scar lost its former charm and started to become... an obligation?

Like any event, it gets boring — after all, it's been going on for a month and a half now. But soon there'll be the King of Flood nomination, and that's where the real fun begins)))) Maybe I'll try to come up with some special tricks; perhaps the next nomination will even be King of Flood. It's a shame I've already gotten so used to being on stage(((((
