Also I take issue with the bastardization of the word waffle just so they could make a cutesy icon for it. But that's another story...
Bastardization? Not quite...
Language is flexible. The use of the waffle makes perfect sense and was not a simple attempt to create a "cutesy icon." If new members don't get the reference, it doesn't matter. What the fuck is an "Emmy," anyways?
dammit jackson... you're so munny it aint even funny. hahahahaha.
seriously though.... you need to aim for law school.
in all seriousness...
REPRESENT!
lives in ohio.
that's right folks. this site used to be called xbox ohio.
i'll never get the award obviously, but i think it would be cool if ORIGINAL members had this award. something special that not everyone can get.

I actually mentioned this one in the thread we used to have. I mentioned it could be a spatula to go with the waffles. I brought it up again in the brain stormer thread as well.

It was the point that counted.
I was going through the Awards Reinstalled thread for kicks and giggles and alot of these ideas are all repeats from that thread, and then repeated again in the Brainstormer Award thread.
It's comical, because I mentioned 1st place in your state in the other one too, it's really funny that some of these just keep getting mentioned again by new faces.
Great minds think alike.

I think it be cool if there were some secret awards that people dont know how to get ahold of but are pleased when they get one....
Just random things like "Awarded to a member for creating a post without useing the letter S"
And also negitive rewards such as "Member has not logged on in 2 weeks"
Just little things like that.

I can be of some help here....
An emmy is an award for television production, the award itself is a female, and maintains the original spirit of the award by including wings to represent the muse of art, and an atom, to represent science. The name was chosen by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and was originally "Immy" which was a nickname for "image orthicon tubes" which were common in early cameras. Later, it was changed to Emmy to go with the female form of the statue.

There's hardly a comparison between an award in use for over 60 years that has become a household term, and an award on a website that uses the site's slang term for whore to refer to gamerscore... But why continue to debate? It's your site, you can put any awards you want on it.

It was rhetorical question... I was proving a point that the use of "waffle" in the awards is a completely different context and has no affect on the original meaning of "waffle."

Just a question, do you lose your XBA Login Streak Badge if you do not log in for a day or does it just display your highest streak?
