My suggestion is to keep the basic format of these awards, but rather than just making them for Conservapedia Day, throw them open to any mission-related people or organisations. So nominees could include editors at CP, aSK, CZ, RW, etc. but also bloggers, YouTubers, & public figures like Phyllis Schlafly, Glenn Beck, Pope Benedict, etc. The awards could still be in the kind of categories they are now, with a few changes. Of course there'd be no need to tie it to Conservapedia Day, so they could just be crank awards (or something) at the end of each calendar year. {{User:Weaseloid/sigred}} 19:14, 8 November 2010 (UTC) | My suggestion is to keep the basic format of these awards, but rather than just making them for Conservapedia Day, throw them open to any mission-related people or organisations.

Other Suggestions
Who cares, Cp is dead, there's no-one left but the regulars who already got these awards, so it's pointless -- Nx / talk 18:29, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- I'm with Nx, I don't see why the winners would be any different from last year. Why not make this the all-time CP awards since presumably there won't be anything new next year either? We can give Top Five Biggest Idiots Ever, Top Five Greatest Parodists, whatever, including long-gone users. --Benod (talk) 18:46, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Basically, this is true. It seems we're likely to have a reply of last years awards. However, I believe Jpatt has really given a strong showing for the biggest idiot award of late. I'd like to see him win, or at least be very competitive in that race. DickTurpis (talk) 19:11, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Let's cancel Christmas too - it's only going to be giving presents to the same people as last year. Totally pointless. If you liked people then, you'll like them this year too so why bother re-affirming it?
- One award I'd suggest is the "Scott Rasmussen Award for Accurate Polling". Ken is a shoo-in, but who cares? This is supposed to be fun. — Unsigned, by: SuspectedReplicant / talk / contribs 01:27, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, but it's not. It's just a few loons on some worthless website no-one really cares about any more. Don't feed the idiots. -- Nx / talk 06:57, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Scrap
- I'd rather scrap the idea altogether. It only boosts their egos to know that Liberals are taking notice of them. I'm sure they carry the awards as badges of honour. — Unsigned, by: SusanG / talk / contribs 20:30, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, scrap this or make it an all-time, last-time award and then close the book. CP is down to the same few people doing the same old things, and I can't see the situation changing unless Andy gets a grip (yeah, right). Totnesmartin (talk) 21:01, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- People enjoy it and its fun, as long as someone wants to organize it and people want to participate I think there is no problem with it. If no one votes its time to scrap it. Tmtoulouse (talk) 21:04, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
- The only thing is, is if we go over there to post the awards, it just gives them another chance to bitch about "vandals" etc, etc. Let's face it, CP is nowhere near what it was 2 years ago, or even last year for that matter. It's become a circle jerk of fundie nut jobs, not taken seriously by anybody. If we have it, post the awards on their pages here, but I'm still in favour of awarding them a lifetime achievement award for stupidity / bigotry / misogyny and leave it at that. --PsyGremlinPraat! 10:35, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
- Once the thugs start wearing ASBOs as a badge of honour it is time reappraise the situation. Things have changed at CP; now they've locked themselves into a dark closet the only things of note are the body odour and the farts. Let them suffocate. Lily Inspirate me. 11:00, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Participation Prizes
I wouldn't object to scrapping or making all-time awards, but Human's suggestion for Ken raises another possibility: make a list of the regulars, and then vote on the name of one award specially created for each of them. This avoids rehashing the "stupidest" debate again, and has the extra benefit of being a participation prize, surely a liberal invention. --MarkGall (talk) 01:06, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
How about something completely different
A while ago I wrote the page for Andy's greatest insights (originally as a "vote for the best" kinda thing). I think a similar thing can be done for each of CP's main players - Ed's creepiest moments, Rob's unlikeliest conspiracies, TK's dickest moves, etc. People could nominate the events they remember and then others could do the digging to bring up the choice quotes. The comedy potential would be a lot higher than these awards doohickeys. ONE / TALK 13:41, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
