Drystan is the Co-host and organizer of this event. I'm merely posting on his behalf.
Welcome to the wonderful
SPF Awards 2013
Ladies and Gentlemen...
It is my Dubious pleasure to welcome you for the SPF Awards ceremony, 2013.
Let the Spaming begin!
The EMB is Catering the event this year so order you drinks and come on in for the show.
To set the right atmosphere for the Judges Introductions I'm going to play what is widely agreed to be the First Rap Song ever Recorded.

Bobcox2:
I'm the Off Topic King!
:crazyeyes:
What Me Worry?
Find my doormat and join the party!
pharphis:
Known for his love of the almighty FoH skill and general enthusiasm for stylish 99ers/MFers. He's also never deeded. Not even once. Any pictures you think you might have seen were forged, I guarantee it.
ioupainmax:
Hi all, I'm ioupainmax and I have been playing Diablo 2 on and off for the last 14 years and lurking for almost as long. I'm pretty lazy which is why you won't see a Mat/Pat thread from me and in a similar manner, I have judged these entries on attributes that appeal to my laziness. Primarily if they contain funny screenshots or videos that mean I don't have to do too much reading!
Drystan:
Hi all. I'm Drystan, an ex-HC D2'er, now retired to the EMB. If you don't know who I am, you should probably spend some time chatting with us. We'll offer you drinks, of course. Here's to all of the SPF community, nominations, and winners for yet another great year at the SPF! The after-party will be held in the EMB, so I expect to see you all there soon. Good luck to the nominees, and let's progress with the ceremony.
FredofErik:
I'm FredofErik, a self-proclaimed spammer, and think that it would be really fun if someone else did my intro for me. You can often find me in mafia games, and in PvP weeks, but will only occasionally spam up the bar.[highlight]SPF 2013 SPiFies![/highlight]
And the Winners are:

[highlight]Best D2 Thread[/highlight]
How can this be? This thread was created in 2011, voted as runner up in the 2012 SPF Awards, and returns to claim the top prize in the 2013 Awards. While originally created in 2011, and spanning several threads, the original thread wrapped up with a couple of Guardians in 2013, and continued the story with an epilogue, and spinoff. This nomination contains the original post, from 2011; the Guardian threads (referenced and linked in 2013); a further epilogue written up in 2013; and a continuation of the epic stories in the form of Two Untwinked Javazons. The amount of detail, story-telling and commitment that was put into this concept, spanning three years, has earned the title of Best D2 Thread of 2013.
[highlight]Best OT Thread[/highlight]
A fairly quiet catagory this year, and one with a little controversy, with several judges desiring more diversity. But there was a result, with the closest of margins.
[highlight]Best Mat/Pat[/highlight]
The character to take the title was a well planned, designed, detailed and equipped character, and has a post-Baal future. This winner is:
[highlight]Best Guardian[/highlight]
The SPF has again come out with many unique, clever and amazing Guardians and write-ups. This catagory was very close as well, with the votes being spread out. But, there was only one winner.
[highlight]Best Collection[/highlight]
Keep them coming! This catagory is all about themes. Whether shape-shifters or Dual-wielders, or ponies or hammers, the SPF still enjoys putting out themed builds.
[highlight]Best 99'er[/highlight]
For those who take a character to the upper most limits. Every 99'er is an amazing feat, so we congratule both entries, but there was only one winner.
[highlight]Best Tourney[/highlight]
The SPF wouldn't achieve such great feats without such great minds, pushing contestants to their limits. Whether item restrictions, or stat and skill restrictions, or PvP tournaments, each contenstant aims to push their character, and themselves, beyond what many would believe is possible.
[highlight]Best Screenshot[/highlight]
A picture speaks a thousand words.
[highlight]Best Video[/highlight]
If a picture speaks a thousand words, then how much does a video speak?
[highlight]Best Newcomer[/highlight]
We always welcome new folk, and enjoy seeing them stick around. This catagory is for the person who posted an intro thread first in 2013 and now seems like they have been here forever.
[highlight]Biggest Spammer[/highlight]
For the member who is unable to control what is written by their keyboard, we appreciate you with this honour.
[highlight]Best Trader[/highlight]
Who went out of their way to go through their stashes to help you out with you ISO?
[highlight]Best Giveaway[/highlight]
To the generous forumites who shared their loot with fellow members. A very close catagory, and very fine examples of the SPF spirit.
[highlight]Best WTF / D'oh Moment[/highlight]
A sad "WTF" moment takes the top position in this catagory, where one of the greatest spammers, mods, and friendly guy, decided to take a break from the forums (- surely in preparation to become Best Returnee and Biggest Spammer of 2014, right? Right!?) Thank you for being part of the SPF, and helping in keeping this forum what it is! The winner of this catagory also won the Biggest Spammer in 2012. You know who he is.
[highlight]Special Award for Outstanding Contribution to the SPF
Lifetime Achievement Award[/highlight]
And now to the highlight of the evening. The judges were pretty unanimous on this one. Lastly, we offer a big congratulations on winning the SPF's Lifetime Achievement Award:
::::::::::
And with that, another year has passed, as we travel through 2014. May there be more spammage, more Mat/Pat/Guardians, and the SPF spirit continue. Thank you to all for being a part of the SPF, and making it what it is.
Now, drinks will be available in the bar, as we offer congratulations to the winners and another great year.
