Forumite of the YearNominees: chalkitdown; Cuttooth; Drumstick; Mockmaster; Sarge; The Alchemist PenguinSo this is it. The final award that celebrates the
creme de la creme of GRcade. All six nominees should be exceedingly proud to be nominated for this award, but as ever, only one of them can win. To present this award, I'll pass over to our final special guest, an individual that is (arguably) even more popular than Danny Dyer...

Ha, only kidding. You humans always fall for the vengeful God bit. You guys are so gullible.
Anyway, thanks for asking me to present this award, I’m honoured to do it. You might not realise this, but I get pretty bored up in my Kingdom. All day I just sit there on my throne made of clouds, waiting for my next meal. Really. Every now and then the wife comes in and asks me to put up a shelf or some such rubbish, but who can be bothered to do that sort of menial task? Particularly when you’re an omnipotent being such as myself.
I go out to the pub with my son every now and then, but the Holy Ghost always weasles his way into the party. I keep telling him, this is just a quiet family drink, but he won’t have it. He’s always getting tequila slammers and making us do them with him, and I can never remember whether it goes salt then lemon or lemon then salt. So we stopped going out altogether out of embarrassment. Such a shame.
The wife suggested that I try and make another universe. I tried that once and, well, we all know how that turned out. Oh, there’s nothing wrong with it, per se, it’s just a bit... I don’t know, it just doesn’t seem to work properly. I never expected all that Northern Lights stuff – that took me completely by surprise. I’m not even entirely sure how that works, to be completely honest with you.
Oh, and you guys don’t have a sense of humour. I put those fossils there, and I thought you guys would get the joke straight away. Apparently not. Come on, people, they look stupid, and it doesn’t make any sense if you think about it... well, I’m not going to explain the joke, jokes are never funny when you have to explain them. Hopefully you’ll crack the code I left in your genomes soon, I need a good chuckle.
Anyway, I'm rambling, I do that too often. I actually only intended on having three commandments, but then I lost track of what I was saying...
Hmmmm. The winner of this most prestigious of awards, the Forumite of the Year, is...
