2010 TdA Awards- Category Ideas[/b][/i] Welcome everyone, to our favorite RP awards ceremony, the TdA awards! As you can see we have a great number of potentates this year and all of them look simply fabulous! Now, the first thing we have to decide is which categories are going to be open for nominations. This thread will be open for exactly one week, at which point I and our lovely staff will decide the final categories. There will only be between eight and twelve of them so be sure to pay attention. Now, the ground rules. - No being mean-spirited.
- Everyone gets to be heard.
- Don't insult another person's ideas.
- Everyone had better be fair about this.
This will be the starting list. Some of these will stay, some will go, so consider them my thoughts to start you off. - Best Couple/Team
- Most Catty
- Best Action Scene
- Best Foreign Character
- Best Dressed
- Most Likely to Emo
- Most Sultry Assignation
- Best Sex Scene
- Most Dramatic
Let's see the ideas flowing, guys. XD

Idk, about "best dressed" ... we never know what people are wearing lol!!
Hmm, let's see... are we going to have any "worsts"? Like there is Best Couple, what about Worst Couple? Or is that mean? Should I be PMing you about this instead of posting my every thought?

Krystal suggested "Character we'd most like to see more of" in the cbox earlier, I thought that was really good Not sure how to word it properly, maybe just that, but it was a neat idea

My suggestions:
Most Villainous Best Rivalry
I was going to suggest "Best in House" for adepts, but that would take a lot of voting.
More OOC, but what about Most Intriguing New Character?

Lots of great ideas! I love it. For Best Dressed I was thinking of as a trend, or have the nominated characters submit 3 photos to be judged on. XD Something a little more interactive. I don't mind the worsts, but I think focusing more positively to start makes the most sense. The negative comes all by itself.

How about Worst/Best Breakups? I guess it depends on how you look at them... could be worst even though its great but best at the same time? Anyway, I thought I'd throw that idea out there... rating the Best Breakup of 2010. Sorry... I just got the Kanye West incident in my head. "Now I know you just had a breakup, and ima let you get back to that but *insert names* had the best break up of ALL TIME!"
Sorry off track.
Maybe Most decadent character. The character who it seems money poses no issue and they indulge at every whim? And maybe we can vote which House of the Night Court has been best represented?

Haha, I love "Grumpiest"! I also like the idea of having submissions, Trish. When people are nominated, there should be a submission ... like "best couple" gimme some threads to support that! Or would that be insanely too much work? lol I also like the idea of Best in House for Adepts, but some Houses only have like 1 lol. Default winner? Angel, hahahaha that Kanye thing is always hilarious to me! "Ima let you get back to that" is like the biggest joke at our office, STILL. Also, there should be PRIZES!

I'd also like to suggest Funniest Character/Scene/Line of Dialogue and second the breakups one. I know who I'd vote for in that case.
How about "Best Fete"? There have been a lot of parties on the board this year.

I think supporting the nominations is a fantastic idea. For every other show you have to somehow have proof of the effort you put in. let's see it!
For awards I'm thinking maybe siggy icons based on the award won? Also, we could do runner ups in some of the categories...

How about 'sweetest character'?

Here are the categories we used last time: Character you love to hate Character you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley Character you'd most like to meet Worst couple Best couple Best story line (>1 thread) Best overall character Best overall RP scene Best assignation Best (non-adept) sex scene Best Shahrizai Best at business Funniest Most naive Most congenial Most self-centered Most pure Most villainous Most noble Most charming
There are some great ideas flowing! Though in my humble opinion, we should base nominations on the time since the 2009 awards, instead of just overall since the board's inception.

That's when they would be based on, Heather. Jan 1, 201o until Dec. 31, 2010.

I may be shooting myself in the foot here, but I had another idea.
It's obvious that there are a lot of good categories, but that they fall into three basic types- thread related, and then character/player related. What if we split them into two awards ceremonies, one now and one about midsummer? We'd be able to have twice as many categories, the ceremonies could me more specialized based on the groups and everyone would have time to prepare for each one.
Thoughts?

I say lets do it all now, but if everyone wants to split it then that's fine, I'm good either way ^^
As for providing proof, for somethings yeah, but others, like Grumpiest, sometimes it's more of a generalized feeling you have about a player rather than a specific incident.
Plus finding proof for everything is really time consuming, lmao. Last time we did the awards we just put proof in for "best assignation" and the like.

Well, I was thinking that the proof would only be for things like 'best dressed', and the people who wanted to participate could. If not, no big deal. Maybe that can be a peer choice award all of the way through? XD

I like the idea of different kinds of awards as per Trish's post above. I'm also all for whatever categories we decide, but let's make sure none are too similar and that they all make sense to everyone. "Best Sultry Assignation" for example doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, unless we have a lot of assignation categories. "Most Likely to Emo" is hilarious, if we have some other funny categories, that could be good too. As always, count me in to help if you need it!

I think there are some great ideas going! Here's my opinion...
Original list: Character you love to hate
Character you wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley - same as most villainous Character you'd most like to meet - love this one!
Worst couple - I found this category hard to vote for, plus a little insulting when my characters were nominated, though maybe that was just me >.< Best couple Best story line (>1 thread) Best overall character Best overall RP scene - I think this would cover things like 'Best/Worst Breakup' Best assignation Best (non-adept) sex scene Best Shahrizai
Best at business - maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think we have enough character to nominate for this one anymore Funniest Most naive Most congenial Most self-centered Most pure Most villainous Most noble Most charming
Plus other's suggestions: Grumpiest Most intriguing new character Funniest scene/line of dialogue Cutest
As for doing some now and some later, I say do them all now. And remember, you can't nominate yourself! lol

Idk, I like "worst couple" for couples like, for instance, Naia and Kendrick, lol. They're having a baby together, yet they can barely even tolerate each other for more than five minutes without wanting to claw each other's eyes out. Surely there must be others like them??

How about something like 'worst character dynamic' instead? That could cover things like 'worst couple', 'worst rivalry', etc. And it would cut down on needing quite as many categories by opening up more possibilities for the same thing.

I love 'Worst Character Dynamic' personally. Most Developed Character -- not meaning someone wrote out a ridiculously long bio/backstory, but a character who has been around a time and has changed, grown, matured, or even falling into abyss and became someone you don't want to be around, but that it fits the storyline behind why they're like that. Not because they wanna be emo, but because their situation put them there.
