ohh ok so basically you will make new banners or will have the same ones? Different ones. With different Pokemon. :D I'm pretty smart, but I'm also incredibly lazy. >.> I only won Ice Fanatic, but I was one vote behind Sage or Most Creative.

You are lucky, I only got awards for types...I wish I got smartest... *goes to sulk in his two-grades-ahead-of-himself-math-class, then to his one-grade-ahead-of-himself-science-class* I've read at a college level since 9th Grade. My science comprehension is off the charts, I've been able to be ahead two years, but my school system doesn't have that oppourtunity. And I tend to get D's in math because I get bored with the lack of challenge. And, just to finish it off, I've been recommended to skip a grade level in Spanish (my prior French knowledge helped a lot). Though because I'm not latino, my school system said no. I ish book smart. And so is Nero. (I was actually expecting that he'd win) Though Sage isn't too greatly smart in this particular sense (annoyingly technical, anal booksmarts,) she IS pretty good with what she likes to do, which is art, reading, and computer themed things. EDIT: Also, the next member awards... well, I'm not 100% sure what's happening. As for reading, i've beeen reading at colage lv sence 6th grade. My school will let you do every class ahead of your self with out leting you skip a grade...and that makes me mad. I love math, however, even if it fdoes bore me i still get A's. I'm not that good with spanish and french, mostly coz of my really, reall bad spelling. Anyway, lets not get into this AGAIN. Also-i think a new one thats good would be the award for the person that uses the old pokemon, not the new ones. Like 1st gen pokemon. ;D

EDIT: Also, the next member awards... well, I'm not 100% sure what's happening. Ever since third grade I got a 13th grade level score on a 'STAR Math' test. Ever since about 4th grade I have gotten grade 13 on Star Reading tests. lol Lack of challenge just means you should be better at it. I once out smarted my Algebra class so much by doing subtraction of equasions in the beginning of the year, she said, "Duncan, why don't you just go over to the Calculus class?" As for science, I'm skipping a grade in that. My current average is 120 I am skipping a grade in that, too. I won the Science fair overall this year, as well. Ask Parker! Edit- Also, I'm always a starter at varsity Academic team matches. I got second place at the regional science written test for Academic team as well.

You need to remember that knowledge =/= wisdom though, and that's where many people get confused and begin to get a little full of themselves when they shouldn't be. After all, you can read Siddhartha or the works of Aristotle with the utmost eloquence, and all it means is that you have an extensive vocabulary, that's just memorizing words and applying them. True intellect would come from reading it, and then analyzing what it means, how you interpret it, the symbolism, etc. Spelling is knowledge, comprehension is wisdom.
But it's inherently flawed to argue over who should have gotten that title. Not just because it's on the intarwebs(Which are a series of tubes, apparently)and most of us don't know each other, but because some of us are right-hemisphere thinkers, and others left. I happen to be the former, I absolutely despised math because there was that screwing incessant "Show your work." I would consistently have the correct answer, but I could never explain it, which annoyed the hell out of me since I felt like if it was right, showing how I got to that point was ridiculous. Naturally this means my math scores were low, but it wasn't from getting the wrong answer. Likewise, I do very well with abstract subjects(Philosophy, Psychology, quantum mechanics), but I suffer in subjects with no meaning applied to them, once again like math. Give me an equation of nothing but numbers and symbols and I'll just end up giving an answer without showing my work. Apply some actual screwing meaning to it with words and then it's no problem.
Not to say I'm after some kind of Down Syndrome-esque redo with two types of intelligence banners, that's just retarded. On a website, a vote for Most Intelligent will naturally go to the most serious frequent poster with a large vocabulary, that's just simple logic, so there's no need to get uppity about it.

Especially since bosom usually refers to a human's breasts =P Bosom is core. Like from the inside of my heart. Core is-not-breast. Plus I'm not a lady so... I can show off my six-pack ;D. ON subject, what about highest win percentage? We could count all the battles we win and how many we lose and send them to sami or Nate.

Anyway, i was saying that i thought that eiather you, or poss would win. She then told us how smart she was, and I had to tell her how smart i was ect,ect... Anyway, a bit more on topic-What if we have one thats the best Ev traner? ;D
