The Most Awards 2008

[Aurelias Kazaar]

I know someone did 'Mister and Miss SW-Fans 2008' and there's the 'you don't know the joy' thread in the RP discussion forum, but apparently this is different. So I'll do it this year. Although I copied most of it from Karl's post from last year.

However, I will give a deadline of January 21th for nominations to be in.

Rules are the same as they were when started in 2005:

1. You can only nominate one character for each category. Example being most Sith like you can only nominate one character. Not all the characters you feel fit the title.

2. Nominated characters must have at least one or two roleplays/threads that they've participated in which show their character.

I dont really want someones character who has been sitting in the background to get nominated when they've done nothing.

3. Characters nominated should be characters from this timeline. Not pre-reset.

4. For categories like Most Sith like, Jedi like I'm looking for more of a movie likeness. The way the Jedi acted in the movies not in EU.

If anyone else has any ideas for a sensible rule post it.


The Categories:

-Most Jedi-like: For those that play Jedi on the boards it would be interesting to see who thinks who resembles a Jedi dealing with the old Jedi. Adhering to the code, not giving into emotions etc.

-Most active roleplaygroup/faction: Rebels, Imperials, Black Nebula/Sun, Jedi, Sith. This would be a kinda tricky one to figure out but I think "most active" would describe it's members acting on the factions behalf in the swfans community.

-Most Innocent: What character on the boards is the most innocent dealing with the world around him/her.

-Most dangerous: Self explainitory

-Most Dangerous group: A pack of Dark siders, Inquisitoriate, Shadow Squadron, Rogue Squadron, Gang within the Blacksun. That type of thing.

-Scariest Character

-Most Brave/Heroic

-Best bounty hunter: Unlike 2007 there are plenty of hunters out there now. Or more than two.

-Lowlife of the universe: The nastiest, most devious, or maybe cheapest, rudest, most irritating guy/gal.

-Biggest Reputation: Good or bad who's reputation in our universe perceieves the character.

-Most Influential: who can snap their fingers and make things just happen?

-Most Sith like:

-Most Imperial (Faction specific)

-Best Rebel (Faction Specific)

-Best Gangster (Faction Specific)

-Sexiest

Roleplay/Story Specific: Just name the thread and the scene explaining what happened and why it applies to the category.

Same rules as above. One thread/Scene per Category.

[Miranda Tarkin]

can this just wait till the end of the month >_>

[Lilaena De'Ville]

Can this just what? O_o

[Droo]

can this just flop around on its belly wearing a penguin suit till the end of the month >_>

That should do it!

[Dallas Walker]

I'm sad because this is all SW people and I don't rp SW anymore :(

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Yeah, if we could extend this some, it would help. I'm going to be swamped at work all the rest of the week, and so my time is gonna be a little scarce, but I still want to put in my votes come the weekend :\

[Aurelias Kazaar]

I'm sad because this is all SW people and I don't rp SW anymore :(

And that stops you from creating your own version of 'The Most Awards' for non-SW writers because why...? ;)

Fine fine people I'll extend it another week. Yeesh, lazy bums :p

[Dallas Walker]

Because I dont start "Favorites" contests? That would be the numero uno reason...plus it would be just as limited as this one, since so few people are involved in the Xmen rp.

[Miranda Tarkin]

Dru only said that because I won't tell him who the gungan is XD

[Jane Starborn]

Come on you lazy bums! Its been postponed and extended for ya, so get a move on! :p

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

For now this is what I have. I'll edit in the rest soon.

[J'ktal Anajii]

Aww, I haven't done any RP, like, almost at all this year, and I've not been reading many, either.

Looks like Mitch don't really get to vote. =(

[Tear]

*Sounds the buzzer*

[Estelle Russard]

I kept thinking...Who is this TBD?? :rolleyes

[Aurelias Kazaar]

Now just to figure out how the polls will be set up. Since I don't think we can do multiple polls in one thread...

[Tear]

Could always count the nominations as votes themselves I suppose.

Or we could make a pole for each category and a link to a corresponding thread for people to read. Then decide.

[Aurelias Kazaar]

I'm thinking open the polls for a week or two (starting Sunday) for each category. Or something. *shrug*

[Lilaena De'Ville]

You can't do multiple polls in one thread, nope. :)

These awards have never progressed beyond nominations before though, I'm excited to actually have voting. :D

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I thought it was just figured up like a tally, but then again it's like Holly says; we've never gotten any farther than the nominations.

[Rossos Atrapes]

I had a thought that we could spoof the Oscars by having something like an IC Most Awards show, but depending on how the voting occurs... unless the polling results could be made private, and then revealed later?

[Aurelias Kazaar]

I don't think they can be. Poll for Most Jedi-like I up. If someone else wants to post another poll go right ahead.

[Morgan Evanar]

I had a thought that we could spoof the Oscars by having something like an IC Most Awards show, but depending on how the voting occurs... unless the polling results could be made private, and then revealed later?It sounds interesting, but time consuming.

[Dasquian Belargic]

I thought this was the voting thread? o_O

[Morgan Evanar]

It would be easier to tally who put what instead of voting again.

[Aree Ankarta]

I thought this was the voting thread? o_O

No, it's the Nomination thread :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

Everyone here posted who they would vote for in each category.. so we already have the results of who votes for who. Making a seperate poll for each thing is just overkill, IMO.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

^^

That right there. I'm in the same bout as Mr. Devilishly-Handsome, there.

[Aree Ankarta]

Yeah, I think it's a bit silly, too. Votes threads should only be necessary when two people have the same amount of nominations.

[Dasquian Belargic]

In which case, let me begin tallying the votes...

[Tear]

Tear steps out onto center stage with several golden envelopes tight in hand.

"Ahem. As an Imperial I am well suited to play my part in the larger scheme of the galaxy. But there are times when you have to stop, and pay tribute to those special moments that...that." The Inquisitor squints, "I ...I cant read the tele. No, I'm saying its too small. What do you mean 'just continue', fix the problem. That is your job isn't it? Am I mistaken?"

The Grand Inquisitor's scowling face flushes an angry red as he stands with hands not so patiently clasped behind the small of his back.

His eyes brigthen suddenly with a small sense of surprise and relief. "Oh there it goes. Sorry about that ladies and gentlemen. You know technology, its great when its working but, oh boy when it stops.

Here are the winners for..." He sighs defeatedly into the mic. "There it goes again." Tear tosses the golden envelopes into the crowd. "YOU READ IT THEN. I don't even get paid for this frelling gig."

Saddest/Happiest Scene:

SAD: Amazingly its a three way tie.
Grace realising she can't save Dasquian in "Spies, Liars and Love" -2

Thats it. Thats all folks! Congrats to the weenars. Is it safe to say we can have a tie? or should we do poll results for those that tied to try and find a winner?

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Oh Tear, you're such a wonderful presenter. And such a presence while on stage!

I think the ties should remain as is. And the Wyl meeting Tak scene is from Circle Circle Dot Dot now I got my cootie shot

[Dasquian Belargic]

..you showboater :mneh

I kid, I kid. Thanks for finishing up for me, Tear - and 'grats to everyone. We wrote some great stuff in '08. Let's make '09 even better :cool

[Estelle Russard]

:lol Tear...you just kill me.

And...Im not such a Daddy's girl am I??

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

I think for his post alone, we need to make a 'Tear Award'.

[Nya Halcyon]

I've got a suggestion for the next one:

Maybe we should already start a thread for the nominations of 2009. We can all go back to it and add bits and pieces as we read them, and at the end of the year revisit those threads and adjust our nominations if we want to. That way it's easier to keep track of things.

I'm suggesting it because, for example, I know "What's Past is Prologue" is my favorite for saddest scene and a couple of other categories, but by the end of 2009 I probably wouldn't remember what the title was anymore because there'd be so many other threads by then that I'd have read, so having someplace to post our nominations throughout the year would be a nice thing...

I've seen something sort of like that in other forums but less tweaked toward nominations of a yearly award.

Its something I've considered for this place as well. Basically their monthly submissions for good threads you have read.

Just threads though not characters or scenes per say. But just threads, any threads. Even a place for X-men, WoD, etc.

Basically someone would put it up like:

Thread name,
Universe,
Authors,

Then give a brief description of the thread. Premise,
Then a teaser line, something descriptive from the thread itself.
"Tears hunt for darkness leads him into the lair of Lilaena Deville...this SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!!! ONE TIME ONLY!" ...sorta like that cept less..

Then there would be a selected paragraph with spoiler code covering it.

The whole premise is to promote threads and give an idea of what they're about. That way people can
A) Know where and what a thread is about without reading through tons of content to get an idea.
B) Bring interest to those who might otherwise just ignore it. I know I for one have little interest in the Xmen threads. (even though im an avid marvel and comic fan) but I simply have no idea whats going on or what the characters are about.
c) Its a good way to keep track of what people are doing.
d) Its fun! like a tiny movie trailer for your thread. Could even create pictures or cover art for it.


I think for his post alone, we need to make a 'Tear Award'.

Drama Queen award?:lol

[Dasquian Belargic]

We have done that kind of thing before, with people posting what they are enjoying reading or writing in - and I think it's a great idea. I would be happy to see it become a monthly thing :)

[Estelle Russard]

I think the ideas above are good ones (definitely the Tear Award one :lol)

I think the thread should be called The Nom Worthy Thread...or something. People can make it as simple or complicated as they like, adding to it for their own memory. I personally would probably just keep it quite streamline..the Thread name and why I like it.

But more elaborate is fine too :)

Its true, its easy to forget when you're reading so much through the year.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Haha, 'Tear's Hissy-Fit of the Year Award' :D

And yes, I think a thread just for noms is a good idea. Will help with the last-minute thread cramming/trying to remember if we can jot down what we're reading and why we like it as it's happening.

[Dasquian Belargic]

Nom nom indeed. Make it so, someone!

[Estelle Russard]

I'll put something up, if you like. Feel free to edit in details I may miss.

[Nya Halcyon]

Keeping it simple would be best. Just maybe a list of categories like in this one, and then we can go edit in our nominations over the year - and by the end of the year go over them and whittle them down to 5 per category, so there would actually be something like a voting that is necessary in the end....

[Estelle Russard]

Oh, so you want like a monthly Nom list thread?

I thought it was more like a "postit note' list for our feeble memories.

[Nya Halcyon]

No, the postit note list was what I had in mind, too, just with categories and all..... same as with this thread.

I mean - say, I read a post somewhere and think "This is great, I want to nominate this for best imagery" or something, then I go to this new thread and edit in what I just read and add it to my nominations. At the end of the year, when we have the Awards, then we all go over our nominations and whittle them down to only a couple per category, maybe.

[Estelle Russard]

Ok. I put up the thread, and will edit in the catagories when I come back. Or you can if you have access :)

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

You'll be updating the title every month instead of starting a whole new thread I take it?

[Estelle Russard]

Sure, that works.

[Loklorien s'Ilancy]

Awesome. In that case I'm gonna sticky it for easy locating.
