The Official(ish) Llama Spotting Thread

[simlink 1,098]

I was just recently browsing the forum and notice Aaron_Graham's status wondering what happened to the trixies. There, Zelgadis stated he was surprised no Trixie anticipation thread had started. This in turn reminded me of Schulmanator's thread last year. Which brought us here.

The gears turned and so here we have it: The Trixie anticipation thread. So, let's get on with the speculating and llama spotting.

I think I found one!



And while talking about the trixies... what are everyone's guesses for the colour scheme this year? How about nominations? Do you have ideas for write-in awards?
Everything to do with llama/trixie speculation is fair game.

So, let's get llama spotting!

Special thanks to Schulmanator, who's post from last year inspired this. And to Zelgadis for pointing out there was no speculation thread yet.




Personally, I am thinking we'll have approximately 1000 nominations. As for colour scheme... I have no idea. Something involving yellow?

[Benedict 3,119]

Colors? Purple and gold (or silver).

Number? Well, Dirk said he was implementing something special to increase the nominations, so I'll go with 1250.

Lots of llamas on our hands. That is HUGE!

[Cyclone Boom 16,829]

This will be exiting, looking forward to it! I've already noted down some of my potential nominations...

[SimCoug 5,972]

Colors? Purple and gold (or silver).

No Husky colors here please

How bout crimson and grey?

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

How about white on white. Completely safe. (Just joking).

Seriously, since this is a Canadian originated web site how about Gules on Argent Canadensis? (That's red on silver for the non-heraldic oriented).

[TekindusT 3,809]

BTW, an small hint about this year's colour scheme...

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

Pink and blue!

Scarlet and gray would work, too.

I thought about posting a Trixie thread a while ago, but ended up not doing so...

[MandelSoft 2,769]

@TekindusT: The correct colors must be somewhere on that

[simlink 1,098]

@TekindusT: Rainbow coloured?

[TekindusT 3,809]

@sim_link: You'd need a really wide ribbon to do that...

[Duke87 1,070]

Colors? Purple and gold (or silver).

No Husky colors here please

See, at first I thought you were talking about these Huskies:

Apparently the folks at the University of Washington have seen fit to use the same mascot. But their team name isn't a cute pun!

Incidentally, though, purple and gold were my high school's colors. The hallways in the building were even painted purple and gold. It was awesomely garish.

In their case, though, it was Vikings - mascot and colors shamelessly stolen from the NFL team.

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

How about Blue, Red and Gold. Queen's University Colours.

[simlink 1,098]

How about Blue, Red and Gold. Queen's University Colours.

Oh no, that would never do.

But I do foresee blue coming into play...

[Benedict 3,119]

Last night I was wondering if was going to be able to input my nominations while watching the Golden Globes, and today I am wondering if I'm going to be able to do it on the 10th anniversary of SC4.

And I know the answer - nominations will open when they open.

I was thinking the same thing, SC4 birthday wise. It would be fitting.

But you are correct, they open when they open.

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Is it Trixie Time yet?

This could be a dramatic competition this year!

BRING ON TRIXIE!!!

[Benedict 3,119]

I wonder if we haven't seen Her Highness yet because we haven't sung the song?

[simlink 1,098]

Cue the tuning note!

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Only demons show up when you name them. Her Highness is a daemon.

[Benedict 3,119]

Looks like the threat of my singing was enough to get a small hint on the home page.

And are the colors predictive of the medal ribbon? Blue and silver? I think that would be uber-stylish for the 10th annual Trixies.

[simlink 1,098]

I thought that blue might come into it this year. Since ST's main colour is blue, and this is the site's (and the trixies) 10th anniversary, it's only fitting

That's assuming those colours hint towards the medal colours, though.

[Benedict 3,119]

Well, I wasn't going to sing, but I just can't help it!

here's "Trixie time is almost here"! If you don't know the tune, let the SNL guys help you out.

I don’t care what your mama says, Trixie time is almost here

I don’t care what your daddy says, nominations are almost here

All I know is that Trixie’s sleigh is making its way to you today!

I don’t care what the newsman says, Trixie time’s full of cheer

I don’t care if you think it’s a lie, nominations will soon by here

I don’t care about anything except hearing those llama bells ring a ding ding!

I wish it was the Trixies today…

I wish it was the Trixies today!

SNL Christmas Song

SNL Christmas Song

Need I say more?

[TekindusT 3,809]

Time to om-nom-nom-nominate!!

[Duke87 1,070]

Nomination counter only visible on the Trixie page itself, and no banner about whatsoever. If you don't visit the homepage (or check Twitter), you wouldn't know nominations are open. How low key.

EDIT: OK, so now there's a tab for it. That wasn't there this morning.

[simlink 1,098]

Just sent in a whack of last-minute nominations... may be cutting it close but it took a long time to decide (and to find the time to nominate!)

[Lyhoko Leaci 770]

What was the final nomination count? It doesn't give a total on the current Trixie page.

[Haljackey 17,241]

I last saw 830-something. That was with less than 10 minutes to go.

[Hamish 1,369]

833 was the final count. A good turn out, especially compared to last years numbers.

 

Who's getting excited for the Trixie presentations?
