(See the Advance Warning before participating) Nominations for The Jasper Sitwell Award (Best New Member)1. Please post no more than one nomination for the new member who you felt added the most to our community in our tenth year of the CCF (between April 30th, 2023 at 9:22pm EST and April 30, 2024 at 9:21pm EST). 2. You must explain why you are nominating this member. This is the blurb that will end up in the CCF Hall of Fame if they win! 3. Please second no more than one nomination made by another member. You may not second your own nomination. 4. Any member that has previously won this award should not be nominated again unless they have done something especially different in the past year that is worthy of note. It is a given that past winning members continue to enrich the community. Let someone else have a turn 5. Any member receiving both a nomination and a second will be included in the final ballot for this award on May 24th. 6. Nominations and Seconds for this round conclude on May 21st. 7. Absolutely NO negative talk about another member, nor another member's nomination. The very purpose of this event is to salute our members and discussions for all they contribute to this community. Though only one member will ultimately receive this award, you have the potential to thank and maybe touch any member you choose to nominate or second. Please don't use this opportunity to hurt or deflate someone. So start your nominating!

We've never before had a new member make tremendous contributions to the community in their first year, become someone many of us would consider a friend, and then self-delete without explanation before we ever had a chance to nominate them for a Jamie. I guess it's up to the rest of you whether or not you feel self-deletion should make a member ineligable, but darn I miss Kal and really hope to see him back here soon. His positive, friendly, and enthusiastic participation in so many different discussions regularly brought a smile to my face.

Thirded.
Is that a word? If not, it should.

As we now have three in favor of Kal when only two are needed, I'm going to withdraw my nomination and assume Icctrombone or Roquefort Raider will carry it forward so that I can recognize an emerging new member here that I don't want to escape notice. aaronstack is still feeling his way through this community at this point, largely sticking to a few choice threads, but adding so much enthusiasm and fun to the discussions in which he participates. As this award was created with the intention of encouraging promising new members to stick around and get a little more involved, I think aaron is actually the perfect choice for this award. It is my sincere hope that he'll keep up the contributions and keep checking out new discussions that interest him, continuing to bring his unique and delightful presence to more and more corners of our vast community.

I have to issue an important correction:
Thanks to a helpful tip from a member, the staff has been able to verify that kal, nominated and seconded by Icctrombone and Roquefort Raider, was, in fact, a previous member who had rejoined under a new username. The bad news is this means he will have to be removed from consideration for The Jasper Sitwell Award. The good news is this means kal has left before and come back, so he may choose to do so again.
What a relief! We finally snuck in a scandal JUST before ending the Jamies for good.
