deltablue Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Welcome to the FMCU Awards! *Minute Waltz Plays* Thank you, thank you! My name is deltablue and as the minute waltz fades away it's my great pleasure to welcome all of these fabulous, exciting, original and talented players of this tremendous game. We come today from my bedroom where we have a delightful audience ready to cheer us on our way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Unfortunately due to the current situation it's not possible to all be together with our usual reporter and co-host. We've had issues with our co-hosts anyway due to a range of shenanigans in previous years making it hard to get anyone to agree to come. Thankfully I happen to have a lovely assistant with me... Thank you deltablue. Well the only place to start is with Makoto Nakamura. He has won 5 awards in both of the last 2 years so can he keep his run going. His old rival ManUtd1 will surely have something to say about that, and so will the likes of Jimbokav1971 and PH71. Last year's newcomers (and this years in fact) will also hope to make more of an impact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoF challenge, Northernpilgrim’s Last Tango in Plymouth, Anagain’s Niko Rikič, our man in Slovenia: Can he Koper?, ManUtd1's The Nearly Men Vol IV: I Am Not A Demon. I Am A Lizard. A Shark.

Thank you, whichever madman voted for THIS YEAR'S thread.. @deltablue does this vote knock the thread out of contention for FM21? Unfortunately I think according to the rules it does if it wins. Anyway your timing is impeccable... And the winner is.... FM21 Placeholder Post! It's even madder than that. I thought it was a great idea when someone voted for it, then the very last set of votes made it one of 4 threads on 2 votes and since I wasn't actually voting this year (and I could still judge thread names) I decided that was a rather unsatisfactory situation and cast a tiebreaker vote. It makes a change from the usual puns so congratulations on winning through the 'ironic' vote. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

deltablue Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Oh and two of the threads on 2 votes were from Makoto, who paid the price (maybe not for the first time) for all his threads by having his vote split. ManUtd's Nearly Men was unsurprisingly the other one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makoto Nakamura Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Sorry I've been inactive for a few weeks. Thank you for the nominations so far, and the best poster award, I seriously wasn't expecting that! It's been an awful FM year for me with me thinking that, honestly, none of my careers have been very good. FM20 is also only the second FM since I started playing to get under 2,000 hours so something must be wrong! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
