RPR Archive Winter 2007 Role Playing Forum Awards- WINNERS ANNOUNCED

Winter 2007 Role Playing Forum Awards

Welcome to the first RPF Awards of 2007! Please be sure to review the entire post (even if you?ve done this before) to ensure that everything runs as smoothly as possible.

Purpose of the Awards
Our role playing forums are very special ? unique in their quality and community. We come here to play, but also to work. It?s not easy to build a successful game or navigate through the galaxy with a character. It?s especially challenging now, with three distinct forums dedicated to different aspects of role playing. Many of you dedicate significant amounts of your free time to make this place the best it can be.

These awards have been established in recognition of the extraordinary efforts of you ? our users. The VIPships and publicity awarded to winners are meant to serve as both a reward for a job well done and a way to increase visibility. It is hoped that others will learn from their example, and that they will continue to serve as leaders of these role playing forums.


How it works
Awards are held four times per year, in April (Spring), July (Summer), October (Autumn) and January (Winter).

The four categories for awards are:
Best GM
Best Roleplayer
Best RPG
Best New RPG

New RPGs are defined as any active game less than three (3) months old. RPGs must be active (no locked threads may be nominated).

---

Voting will consist of two rounds:

[b]Round 1:[/b]
[ul][li]Lasts for five (5) days[/li]
[li]A time to nominate any active RPG or player[/li]
[li]Once a thread/player has been nominated once, please refrain from nominating them again (one nomination is sufficient to save a spot on the ballot)[/li]
[li]Users may [i]not[/i] nominate themselves for awards[/li]
[li]All users may make a total of two (2) nominations per category[/li][/ul]
Any RPG that wins an award becomes ineligible for next season's awards, to ensure fairness and variety. Any players who win awards will be ineligible until the next year.

I'm not saying that he shouldn't be acknowledged, but don't you think it's rather redundant to nominate LS_A? I mean, he's already a moderator with colors of his own, and he can change them at will if he wants to. As I said, he is a great GM and should therefore be acknowledged by many of us who know him, but I just don't see the point in nominating a moderator.

That's as high as you can go, and while he has permanent colors and a title, we only get them for a week.

I say, if he wins, he should give his colors to the runner-up to be fair.

 

Chill, guys...we always take the mods off before the final nomination list is posted. In case you hadn't noticed.

Even though it's my game...I don't wanna break the rules. But Exiles won last time so it can't be nominated.

And I also want to nominate Ptolemy7 (Best RPer) for his work as Galahad in Exiles. Always love reading those posts.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I checked everything but apparently not.

To clarify the thing about mods (in case anyone still has any questions), LSA and I have decided thusly:

1. RPF mods are not eligible for awards. They may be nominated if a user so chooses, but they will be removed from the final list prior to voting. And as always, votes for users not on the official nomination list are not counted.

2. Mods of other forums on the JC may be nominated for awards, and they are eligible to win. However, should a mod win an award, we will hand out three total awards in the given category-- one to the winner (mod), one to the second runner-up, and one to the third-runner up. That way, the mod will still be recognized for his/her contributions, and two regular users will receive colors, as usual.

We are not sure if this will ever happen, but we thought it best to be prepared, and make sure everyone knows what is going on!

 

See?

Without Reynar, this issue would have never been addressed, resulting in a myriad of more issues in the long run and possibly the total collapse of the RPF, all of TFN, and possibly the entire internet!

Where would you guys be without me?

Random guy in back of the room: "Better off"

Hush you.

 

Mostly it has to do with more mods posting in our forums-- and posting so well-- now.

You might not know it from the hotbed of activity now known as the RPFs, but we didn't used to be so popular.

 

*amused*

Not only does he possess a good sense of humor, he is an excellent gamer as well, imo.

Please include Reynar_Tedros as a candidate for Best Roleplayer, if he hasn't been nominated already.

Please also include Darph_Nader.

These two ALWAYS have high quality posts and know exactly what it means to play 'in-character'.


*bows*

 

NSW:
Greyjedi125 (best rper)
Zelda_Skywalker (Best GM)
(Everyone else I want to vote for has been voiced. Good Luck everyone!)

 

Thanks a lot, Grey!

But, I'm not eligible to win this time around, as much as it pains me to point it out.
