Revision as of 04:58, 8 January 2011
Every year since 2006 5punk has issued awards to those members who have deserved special recognition for their activities on the site and in game. The format has changed slightly over the years, but winners (and indeed nominees) of any award can be proud to have upheld the 5punky way. More recently awards have also been presented to games which have offered us particularly good entertainment value.
Contents
5punker of the Year
The Ty aka Sir Die Aloty 5punker of the Year Award is issued to the member who has been voted as having been the most instrumental in the continuing existence of the community in all forms. On the forums, in games, and indeed in spirit, 5punk is an entity that is not contained in any one medium, and the winner of the award is recognised as the epitome of the our values in any place we are found. The award is named for Ty in recognition of him inventing the ceremonies back in 2006.

Game Categories
5punk Game of the Year
First awarded in 2005, and presented as the Most 5punky Game in 2007, the Game of the Year category had a hiatus until 2009 when it was resurrected. Games winning this award aren't necessarily the best or most successful of the year, but rather the ones which have caused the most 5punky entertainment. Quite often games are nominated because they're hilariously broken, although winners do tend to be good in their own right too.
2005 - Call of Duty 2
2007 5punky Game - Team Fortress 2
2006 Best Game - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
2009 - Burnout Paradise
2010 -
Best First Person Shooter
2007 - Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Best MMO/RPG
2007 - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Best Real Time Strategy
2007 - Supreme Commander
Multi Player Game of the Year
2007 - Team Fortress 2
2009 - Burnout Paradise
2010 -
Player-driven persistent-world MMOG set in space award
Created as a one off to settle an argument, nonetheless the winner is worthy of recognition as an important game in 5punk's history.
2006 - Eve Online
Single Player Game of the Year
2007 - Portal
2009 - Dragon Age: Origins
2010 -
Time Vacuum of the Year
This award was run as a trial and canned after it was found to be a one horse race. In future ceremonies it may make a return if there looks to be some competition. It was unique in that it wasn't nominated, but harvested from X-fire stats for the community group.
2009 - World of Warcraft
Member Categories
Deject of the Year
Awarded once only in the first 5punk awards, 2006, the Deject of the Year award was awarded to the most Deject member.
2005 - Deject
Funny Cunt Award
The Funny Cunt award is presented to the member who is voted to have made us laugh the most this year. It's all relative, as none of us are funny, and can turn into a competition between whoever has made the most bad puns and whoever has drawn the most cocks in games. Wait, that is funny. The award is an original category, then called "Most Amusing 5punker of the Year", which vanished for a long time before its resurrection in 2009.
2005 - Mr Bobbins
2009 - Roman Totale
2010 -
Liver of the Year
The Liver award has remained unchanged since its conception in 2007. It is awarded to the 5punker who has made the most impact through their inebriation, through consumption of heroic quantities or hilarious reaction to it. More often than not both.
2006 - Jockgit
2007 - Jockgit
2008 - Jockgit / Dr. Kitteny Berk / Hehulk (Tie)
2009 - Ty aka Sir Die AloTy / Friznit (Tie)
2010 -
Master of Rings
This award is presented to the member who has done the most to promote the forums, arrange games and activities, and generally keep things active. Its origins can be traced back to the original awards when it was presented as the Hero of the Year. It evolved from that into the Pimp of the Year category in 2007, intended as recognition for efforts to recruit new members.
2005 - Woo Elephant Yeah
2006 - Centeredgedesign (Dres)
2007 - Dr. Kitteny Berk
2008 - Joose
2009 - Grimmie
2010 -
Meat Shield
The Meat Shield is awarded to the 5punker who has absorbed the most lead, spent the most time respawning, and has generally upped everyone else's score by being on the receiving end. While other communities may consider this no accolade, 5punkers pride themselves on being shit and not taking things too seriously, and the winner of the Meat Shield is applauded as an example to us all. The origins of the award can be traced to 2005 with the Most Teabagged of the Year category, but were created as they are a few years later in 2008.
2005 - Roman Totale
2008 - Mr Johnson
2009 - Buzzmong
2010 -
Monkey at a Keyboard
The Monkey award was created in 2007 to recognise the most ham-fisted, unintelligible member on the boards. Nominees had frequently posted such gibberish that we suspected their head-dobber had broken and they were simply mashing the keyboard with their face. The award was retired in XXXX as it was considered a little too derisive, although several winners were delighted at their recognition.
2006 - Ty aka Sir Die AloTy
2007 - Ty aka Sir Die AloTy
Nazi of the Year
First seen in 2007, this award was presented to the most active Grammar Nazi on the forum. Good English is strongly encouraged, but winners of the award went above and beyond in their glorious pedantry. The award was retired in 2007 and given to Eion as a lifetime achievement in 2009 in memory of him.
2006 - Lateralus
2007 - Eion
OMG HAXXOR Award
2008 - Gunslinger
2009 - Dog Pants
2010 -
Spacker of the Year
Seen only in the original 5punk Annual Awards, 2006, this award was presented to the member who had cracked us all up the most by their hapless antics.
2005 - Ty aka Sir Die AloTy
Spammer of the Year
The Spammer of the Year award was created in 2007 to celebrate the member who made the most posts. After two years it because obvious that there was no competition and was awarded to its only winner as a lifetime achievement.
2006 - Dr. Kitteny Berk
2007 - Dr. Kitteny Berk
Talented Bastard
The Talented Bastard category is aimed at members who have displayed enough creative or artistic flair to make the rest of us look like chimps smearing poo on the perspex window of their enclosure. We hate them for making us look bad, but nobody wants to appear bitter so we give them this award. First seen as the Bastard of the Year in 2007, this award is often hotly contested by a small group of talented nominees. When it first appeared in 2006 it included gaming talent, which was later seperated into the OMG HAXXOR award.
2006 - Grimmie / Gunslinger (Tie)
2007 - Grimmie
2008 - Stoat
2009 - Dog Pants / Joose / HereComesPete (Tie)

Vampire of the Year
Originally presented in 2007 as the Most Potential As A Vampire, this is awarded to the member who has spent lots of time at ungodly hours playing games.
2006 - Hehulk
2007 - Dr. Kitteny Berk
2008 - Dr. Kitteny Berk
2009 - Akiakaiu
