RULES

  1. Credit goes to The Curator/mistaken and The Final Countdown for the layout here.

  2. You have 3 votes to nominate , 1 for each category

  3. All non-Cornellverse diaries (both real world and fantasy) have been combined into a 'Mod' category.

  4. You may substitute your C-Verse nomination for a 2nd Mod nomination, or vice versa.

  5. Please place a link to the diary you are nominating.

  6. In the Monthly Spotlight category, you will single out a specific aspect of a diary that particularly impressed you over the course of the month, be it a match, show, angle, storyline, development of a character, etc.

  7. You may not nominate yourself

  8. All nominations must include a reason

  9. Nominations do NOT need a second. So, once a diary has been nominated PLEASE do NOT nominate it again!

<p>Gonna nominate <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=523798" rel="external nofollow">Booking FCW... Caribbean style</a> by flaviooooo for C-Verse</p><p> </p><p>

Been a fun read so far and good to see FCW getting some love finally in the land of TEW13. Done well at fleshing out characters and has worked in some fun storylines.</p>

<p><strong>Monthly Spotlight:</strong><a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524417" rel="external nofollow">3rdStringPG's SWF: Sunday Nights Counting Lights - The Continuing Saga of KP Avatar</a> Supreme Challenge XXXIII segment "Morrisette Loses It in Locker Room".

Considering I legitimately went figuratively bat-**** insane over one little sentence, um...yeah. Good show as well, if I have to be more general and nominate the event itself.</p>

<p>Nominating <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524775" rel="external nofollow">GSW: War in the West</a> for C-Verse</p><p> </p><p>

Not because Voelzwagon nominated my dynasty (for which I thank him <img alt=":cool:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/cool.png.f00d2562b2c1d873a09323753efdb041.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />), but because I really love the atmosphere and story.</p><p>

Especially the bickering between the two announcers cracks me up!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

For Monthly Spotlight I'd like to nominate Eisen-Verse's <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1902231&postcount=840" rel="external nofollow">Master of Puppets PPV</a> (including the votings beforehand)... Really cool way to keep things fresh and involve the readers!</p>

Still have yet to decide on which diary to nominate...</p>

<p>Going to sub my cverse vote for two mod votes.</p><p> </p><p>

Going to nominate Beejus' War of the Thrones</p><p> </p><p>

Reason being it's rare I get into a diary enough to follow, but I just found this last night and read the whole thing in one go.</p><p> </p><p>

Also, Final Countdown's WWF: The Golden Age.....And Beyond?</p><p> </p><p>

Reason being that it's the only diary up until War of the Thrones of 13 that I have followed with the same passion as Nevermore's.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>I would like to nominate Tigerkinney´s DIASPORA- Takayuki of the Revolution-13 (Thunderverse) <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522477" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=522477</a> to mod category for the simple reason that he has managed to make Japanese workrate promotion interesting to follow for me.</p><p> </p><p>

As for the CornellVerse, I nominate Jingo´s 21CW: The Hottest (and only) ticket in town <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524602" rel="external nofollow">http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524602</a> as it´s one of the best diaries that are quick to read plus Jingo always manage to make things interesting and often suprises me with his results.</p>

<p>Mod 1: <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=524218" rel="external nofollow">WCW91-Birth of a Company, with a Texas Twist</a> by tg01. I'm really enjoying this one so far, and the just recently posted SuperBrawl was a strong show with more than one development that caught me by surprise.</p><p> </p><p>

Mod 2: <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=523629" rel="external nofollow">WWF 1994: Growing Pains</a> by RKOwnage. This diary appears to be a bit underrated in my opinion. I encourage anyone who is a fan of this era to check this one out, especially with Summerslam just around the corner. I'm a lot more interested in Undertaker vs. DiBiase than I was in the real life Undertaker vs. "Undertaker."</p><p> </p><p>

Spotlight: <a href="http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1906525&postcount=1436" rel="external nofollow">Wrestlemania 29</a> in WWE: The Longest-Running Weekly Episodic Cluster of Shows in TV History! by micgcs. His readers were eagerly anticipating this one, and it did not disappoint. The match between Bryan Danielson and William Regal was particularly dramatic, and had my on the edge of my seat the whole way.</p><p> </p><p>

I know that another aspect of michs' work was already nominated, so I'm unsure whether or not Mania is eligible. (It would have been when I was running this, but angel may feel differently.) If that is the case, just let me know and I'll nominate something else for the spotlight.</p>
