I won a Ned's Atomic Dustbin snowboard. I faked tickets to the gig, cheated to get a double entry in the prize draw raffle and went home with the snowboard.

That's a lesson to you all.

Wow, who do you like to use on SF and what's your favorite version?

I won various newspaper writing awards and scholastic stuff in school. But I haven't won much else of note, save the adoration of millions.

I actually have SF styles named after me!

Ryu is the most powerfull character there has ever been, version depending...

But Ryu is me, I can use any character, to at least what most would deam tourne ablity levels. yet my actualy talent is far beyond even a tweaked computer setting or recently the best in the world.

SF has lost its following yet a few years ago I would swear blind I was the best. I still say it. I always will. my skill at SF is somthing I cannot explain, I just cant be beaten, my style is flawless I can come back from any loss and play at any level.

sorry to sound bold, but untill you have seen me play, I am the master.

Proven a 1000 times fold...

I've won a couple of Tae Kwon Do tournaments. That's all I can think of at the moment.

When I was in high school, I won a foreign language poem interpretation contest. I think that was the last thing though. I'm getting slack.

IIRC, various art awards (people expected me to get them so I did, I suspect), a regional art award for something, I can't remember what... a couple of track & field ribbons when I was in school, a few "Academic First"s when I actually gave a **** about schoolwork... crap like that. The kind of stuff that doesn't matter in the real world.

Asides from that, the odd scratch & lose ticket has given me a few bucks.

Bloody hell, I probably watched that.

I got third prize in a fancy dress once. I was the Joker. And 9 years old.

I also won a Cindersaur from the UK TF comic and I can't remember what for, but I do know it wasn't just from getting a letter or anything like that printed, I'm pretty sure it was a runner-up 'also got the correct answer' type prize. My name was in it and everything, which I remember as the only other person I knew that got the comic came running into school to tell me and I went running into school to tell him. I have to got through my comics one of these days to find out what it was for. Think it was on a Transformation sidebar-thingy.

Oh, and a some crappy local community prize thing for getting a short story published when I was in high school. And some crappy high school prizes for a couple of subjects. £10 book tokens or something, yay.

Winning a lottery would be nice.

Anything published since then?

I got into Orson Scott Card's sci-fi writer's Boot Camp this summer... one of eighteen students. That's about the closest I've come.

Yesterday I won 20$ betting on matches from Polish, Irish, Ukrainian and Israeli footie leagues.

Other than that, I was in top places in few contests in primary school, but that's nothing much (got some books).

I won several awards for English back in secondary school. S'about it, really.

Post by **Best First** » Sat May 28, 2005 10:39 am

i like my topic - we are funky.

I came second in some reginal road safety poster contest when i was about 5.

I won some Blacktron Space Lego once in a Toy Master competition when i was about 10.

And i won the prize for English Language in the last year at my schoopl - book token... suspect i still have it somewhere. Actually i think i won a few things like this at school.

Thats it! I think!

Best Actor award in last year of school, and an award for chess or something roundabout the same time. Also a Runners Up award from Cable & Wireless for a short film I made at uni. I think my biggest surprise was winning a massive jar of sweets once by guessing how many were in there.

Probably nothing else worth mentioning.

I might've won the lottery but I never check my tickets.

Nah, tho I kid myself that one day I'll wake up and a novel will magically exist in my head ready to leap out onto the screen and make me set up for lif-, um I mean feel creatively enlightened.

Never erd of someone winning one of those 'guess the random thing' things before...always thought they were all fixed. I think spidey must indeed have mind powers...either that or it's a government conspiracy...

I was officially the Best Dressed person in my year at school at the year 11 leavers thing. Okay, so it was pretty much rigged as a joke, but you can take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand, I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take my trophy from me, even if it is a wooden spoon sprayed silver and stuck in a paste-filled yoghurt pot...

Oh, and I've got a winners trophy from the 1990 U10s footie league I played in. Also third-place the subsequent year. I have silverware!
