Originally created by Rev and later continued by Dr Shipman, Count de Monet, and Doctor Know, the Bummys are a (mostly) annual celebration of the best and worst of Hobowars.
Rev: "Like most good ideas, I came up with it while I was dropping a deuce. Yeah, poopin. My wife had left her copy of People magazine in the bathroom, and feeling like I was in this one for the long haul, I needed some reading material. I started to leaf through, and it was the "Best and Worst of 2005" issue. The wheels started to turn, and once I had finished doing my business I hopped on the computer and bounced the idea off of my muse, Yuk. He immediately liked the idea, and we kicked around some ideas for categories before I headed to the F&G board to post up the first annual Bummy Award nomination thread."

2005 Bummys
This inaugural year of the Bummys was run by Rev. No specific information about this year's rules is available, however it is assumed that the rules were the same as the 2006 Bummys rules as listed below. The only information about winners was a note in the HoboWeekly stating that RP McMurphy won Hobo of the Year.

2007 Bummys
Specific information about the 2007 Bummys rules and administration is missing since the message boards were accidentally deleted sometime in 2008 and the HoboWeekly was out of commission by that time.
The 2007 Bummys was either run by Rev, with Dr Shipman assisting by creating the Youtube videos with the results, or run entirely by Dr Shipman.
The Youtube videos with the results can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssZcm2Lk-us (Part 1 of 2) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fU1LCg7rK44 (Part 2 of 2).

With Rev's departure from the game, the 2008 Bummys was run entirely by Dr Shipman. Of note, the 2008 Bummys began in November 2008, however the results were not calculated and posted until February 2009 due to Dr Shipman's computer problems.

2010 Bummys
With huge thanks to Cube!, 2010 brought us the first year of automated Bummys, hosted by Count de Monet.
An in-game system was created consisting of three stages: nomination stage, first voting stage, and final voting stage. This automated system allowed for direct nominating and voting and calculation of the results.
Also, most of the results are missing because there was no results video created for this year and no written information of the winners was recorded anywhere other than the first place winners being listed on the Bummys results page.
Of note, this was the first and only round of Bummys that allowed voting for gang mates.
General Rules
- You may not campaign on the public message boards or in chat. The exception is that there will be a thread for campaign/discussion purposes on the Fun and Games Board.
- You may advertise in your name, your profile, and your signature.
- You may not pay for anyone else to nominate or vote for you or anyone else.
- You may not offer anything of value to encourage votes. This includes the promise of free rapes, either now or in the future.
- Your hobo must be 30 days or older to participate.
- Jailed and inactive accounts are eligible.
- You may vote for as many as you like in each category, but not more than once for any one hobo.
