In this season of awards shows, fancy dresses and drunken, high-class parties I figured it was time for the board to celebrate it's own FIRST ANNUAL TERRE D'ANGE CHARACTER AND RP AWARDS! *cheers from the gallery* The process is simple- read the rules, and send your nominations to the staff member of your choice. The winner will receive prestige, respect and, above all, a notation listing your win on your character information sidebar. The first thing one may notice is that you cannot nominate threads or characters that belong to you, yourself, the player- there is a reason for this. In the interest of expanding everyone's interaction, we're asking that people take what time is available to them and read threads they don't participate in themselves- it will give everyone an opportunity to learn about new styles, as well as the general workings of our lovely board. Thank you for your time- and remember everyone, this is supposed to be fun! Prince Christien de la Courcel RULES:-Two nominations per player per category, any gender or orientation. YOU MAY NOT NOMINATE ANY CHARACTER OF YOUR OWN, NOR ANY SCENE CONTAINING YOUR OWN CHARACTER. -Nominations will continue for ONE MONTH, at which point the staff will narrow the field to 8 candidates. Players will have 2 weeks to cast their vote, most votes wins. In the event of a tie, there will be another vote lasting two days to determine the sudden-death final decision. -ONE VOTE PER PLAYER! If a player is found to be cheating on this rule, all of their characters will be removed from the contest and a reprimand issued. If necessary, the staff will track the IPs of the voters to ensure complete fairness. -Please keep an open mind. Read up on the nominated characters, feel free to discuss their merits and flaws, and vote honestly, not just for your own or a friends characters. PLEASE PM NOMINATIONS TO VALERIE, CAROL, HEATHER OR MYSELF, BUT NOT ALL FOUR (KERRI HAS A NEW BABY, LET'S LET HER BREATHE, PEOPLE ) CATEGORIES:Most Charming Best Couple Worst Couple Best Kiss Most Pure Most Self-Centered Best Assignation Best Sex Scene (non-adept) Most Congenial Best at Business Most Naive Character You'd Most Want to Meet Most Heroic Most Villainous Best Shahrizai Best Overall RP Scene Best Overall Character Best Character Bio

I just noticed this little gem while perusing the boards during a much ened and self inflicted break at work. I wasn't here for the first one (obviously) but this looks like an AWESOME idea... can we do it again, huh huh can we can we???

the first ones never happened because of no responses/lack of interest from the players who weren't staff. i personally would love to try again, i thought they were a great idea the first time around.

You're just saying that cuz you know I would totally nominate your literate ass the only way for it to work would be if people voted fairly and not just for people they happen to rp the most with.

Kind of hard to nominate people you haven't roleplayed with...unless you're bored as hell like me and stalk the boards. I'm sure we'll all do our best to stay as impartial as possible. Except for me, I'm just going to nominate myself for everything.

the point of it was to get people looking at, reading threads they are not invested in. too often players fixate on playing all there characters with one other player's characters and it is not a benefit to the board as a whole.

LOL, it would be awesome if I knew how to read, thanks for the heads up. I'm glad someone decided rules were essential to this sort of thing.

I think it should be done. I know that I stalk EVERYONE's threads as much as possible, and threads that wer going on far before I was even here... though it might be best, since it is annual, that the threads and characters that one reads should be only within a that year's time? I don't know.. just throwing out ideas. But really, can we can we?! There are some awesome categories that I can already think of tons of people to nominate for. And there are soo many characters... it would be awesome. I promise to be good and fair please please pleaseeee *puppy dog eyes* PLUS it will make peolpe realise how many characters there are to rp with, maybe increase threads and postings... I can't see it really being a hinderance *puppy dog eyes again fo good measure*
