Bwahaha! My evil plan to continue starting threads is taking...

Oh, wait, that's on YMtC.

Anyway, I was thinking back to when someone nominated Gideon for an award, 'cept the award didn't exist. I am now starting this thread in the hopes that I can actually get these awards. Here's how it's gonna go down:

I will have a list of categories. You can nominate one person (not yourself) to each one of these categories. After a week or so, I'll host a vote, and the ones who win will get the award. *Hopefully*, I can speak to the Omnipotent WizO Shadow, and maybe arrange a reward for the winners.

After this award show, there will be a set of lighter-hearted awards.

The Categories are:

Best Roleplayer (Overall) -
Best Newbie (Joined since January 1, 2006) -
Best Battle (Awarded to a particular fight, link the fight) -
Best RP Thread (Thread Owner gets the award, link thread) -
Best Backstory -
Best Descriptions -
Most Original -

Have a blast. Must beg Shadow for a sticky now.

Best Roleplayer (Overall) - Gonna have to go with you, Gareth. Nice work.
Best Newbie (Joined since January 1, 2006) - Considering the Battle Royale started on 08-25-06...EVERYONE!!!!!
Best Battle (Awarded to a particular fight, link the fight) - Hmmm...not one I was even part of, I take it...in that case...I'm gonna have to say Tyrion vs Valoran (Bahamut and Gareth). From the little bit I saw (I'm a bit behind...:embarrass), it was quite impressive. If I can nominate a battle I was in...Tyler and Inaya vs. Harmond and Bob. Come on...you know you loved it :D
Best RP Thread (Thread Owner gets the award, link thread) - So far, with so few...Sorcen, with the Battle Royale. I think he deserves this one. :D
Best Backstory - Gareth (for TYLER VICI. I love how that character's developed, and pulled backstory into the RP as it goes)
Best Descriptions - Lord Gareth...again. Revlis and Bahamut come in a close second.
Most Original - Toss up. Gareth or Revlis. I can't decide.

There we go. Let the winner of each catagory have a (insert stylish prize-looking symbol here...when I find one...unless anyone knows a good one) to put in his/her sig along with their prize.

And some applause for those of us who don't win this time around. :clap::clap::clap:

We all do a pretty damn good job. :D

-Gideon

...by the by, Gareth...You never said who YOU'RE voting for. You're part of us to, you know. :D

Best Roleplayer (Overall) - Gareth or Gideon. It's a tos-up for me. You both do great work.
Best Newbie (Joined since January 1, 2006) - I had no clue that's when it started, but Gideon's right. Everyone does their best around here to keep this thread awesome and interesting.
Best Battle (Awarded to a particular fight, link the fight) - Battle vs. Caben Duur. It got it's own freakin' thread.
Best RP Thread (Thread Owner gets the award, link thread) - Battle Royale threads I and II, obviously. Sorcen rules the Map of the Planes.
Best Backstory - Aww, now I have to read stuff? :P Uh, I don't know, I'll have to edit this one.
Best Descriptions - Once again, you or Gideon. Toss up
Most Original - Honestly? I'm going to go with Larz Fang. He controls a nice variety of original characters.

Best Character - I'm gonna say I'm not sure yet. Working on this.

As I've said, I've managed to read most of the matches of the arena and I've looked into the other threads that have popped up in this forum as well. Anyway here's my opinions:

Best Roleplayer (Overall) -Gideon, with honorable mention to Gareth.
Best Newbie (Joined since January 1, 2006) - Gideon answered this one.
Best Battle (Awarded to a particular fight, link the fight) -I actually liked the Korone vs Chros battle if that even counts.
Best RP Thread (Thread Owner gets the award, link thread) -The Battle Royale threads collectively, awarded to Sorcen.
Best Backstory -Its a tie between Sorcen for his namesake character, Revlis for his namesake character, and Larz Fang for The Ripper.
Best Descriptions - Gareth with honorable mention to Gideon.
Most Original -PartyTricks for his Triumvirate Illithidae.

Best Roleplayer (Overall) - Gideon, with Gareth a few inches behind.
Best Newbie (Joined since January 1, 2006) - I'm not going to repear what everyone else has said, so... ditto.
Best Battle (Awarded to a particular fight, link the fight) - I thought that the Tyrion vs. Valoran battle was pretty phenomenal (but that's just me ;) ), but all the Caben Durr Battles are up there too.
Best RP Thread (Thread Owner gets the award, link thread) -The Battle Royale threads, since there are none better yet.
Best Backstory - I don't know... There's a lot of really good backstories out there, I'll have to cruise around the roster and look at some of them.
Best Descriptions - Gareth and Gideon tied neck and neck with me a close second (I had to be a little arrogant :D ).
Most Original - Gareth's character Tyler. I thought that even rivaled my idea of a demonic vorpal rabbit from hell.

Best RP Thread (Thread Owner gets the award, link thread) - The Taverne Cycine Sorcen_Anenooata
Best Backstory: Caben Duur. Gideon made short work of us others with this one.
Best Descriptions: Gideon or Gareth? I sure as hell don't know. Oh wait... *head implodes* Don't worry, I'm okay!
Most Original: Revlis_Nogard. Only a genius could possibly think of something like a shapeshifter that likes his giant panda form best.
