ecoetz Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I picked this up from a 2010 thread. I find it appropriate: Although you can't really put it on your CV, I thought it might be nice to recognize the TMer who has demonstrated outstanding team spirit (even as admissions become increasingly competitive). Personally, I've learned a lot from all of you, so the criteria might be: 1) helpful commentary and advice 2) overall team-oriented behavior 3) positive outlook and/or humor 4) don't take admissions results or profiles into account 5) non-moderator status (moderator breaks ties) 6) etc. Although its still early, and many admission results are pending, and thus many more opportunities to show team spirit and support, I'll give my early vote to MathEcon12. That meme thread was really something! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to step on ecoetz's toes, but I think we should use this thread to start thinking about our nominees, rather than making nominations, going into the admission season (whenever it starts), because that's when emotions really start flying around.

Agreed resource. I started this thread before seeing your suggestion in the 2012 Sweat Thread. Lets keep this around then, but I still say MathEcon12 deserves an honorable mention (at least) for the meme thread! Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MathEcon12 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Much appreciated! I'm happy the meme thread successfully relieved some of the tension that's been building up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it really just traded one type of anxiety for another. Now, I log on to TM with my fingers crossed that a new meme will be uploaded. Classic addictions symptoms, really.

Guest buzios Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Chalk up one vote for MathEcon12 and Peot. The meme thread and tinychat were pretty sweet ideas... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peot Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I will bump this and put some weight behind both MathEcon12, who kept everyone's spirits up through a bad string of rejections, and the master troll godlesschum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoetz Posted April 10, 2012 Author Share Posted April 10, 2012 Damn, beat me to it Peot! I stand behind my vote for ME12. I will have to say Peot deserves and honorable mention, especially for Peot - Tinichat. I'll extend an additional honorable mention to godlesschum for helping me be thrilled about the prospect of living in Philadelphia. Peot was helpfull in this regard too, lol. Cannot wait to see the cockroaches, hahahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
econsd Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 1. Me12 2. Peot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathEcon12 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks for the love everyone. I'd like to cast my vote for Peot, because without the TinyChat, I would have likely gone insane during the month of February. It was, hands down, the greatest idea of the admission's cycle. My honorable mention goes to Economists, because (s)he has been very helpful giving advice/information to many people throughout the past few months.

SpiderPig Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Agreed, except I'd be fine if they share the award. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resource Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I'll drop a vote for art_vandelay for the simple reason that I've probably spent over 6 cumulative hours staring at his avatar, and his comments were always informative and upbeat.

Guest 8675309 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I don't pay enough attention to individual's forum posts that I can credibly say if anyone is a good nomination based on what they've written here, but Art Vandelay has also stuck out to me in terms of being very helpful in peot's chat room and I nominate him based on what I saw in there.

Guest buzios Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I'd say toss up b/w Economists and block. Honorable mentions to applicant12, whatdoido and resource (if only he were on tinychat more often). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blockRed Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 1) Economists 2) MathEcon12 It is not even close any more...just check out Economists last couple of posts, especially in the "non Top 50" thread: http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/140634-it-really-worth-it-going-non-top-50-program-3.html#post908303 http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/140634-it-really-worth-it-going-non-top-50-program-3.html#post908387 http://www.www.urch.com/forums/phd-economics/140634-it-really-worth-it-going-non-top-50-program-4.html#post908510 Not only are they well-written and informative, they are long, like novellas! I also nominate godlesschum as troll of the cycle, for his work on EJMR. I am 99% certain he deserves it. Last but not least, we should recognize art as the most well-adjusted person on this forum...even when plied with Jagger! :peach: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
