Eternity RPC Board
. . : : The Siora Awards 2017 : : . .
Hello Hello, and welcome back to the Siora Awards! This October marks the third full year for the Eternity community as we know it, and boy, what a year it has been! A full year of larfs and writing, full of highs, lows, intense deluges and deserts of activity, rules and drama, and hopefully some memories and friendships we'll be able to carry ever forward into this next year and beyond.
So of course being the end of the fiscal year and the beginning of the next, it is time for Siora's Third Annual rendition of an awardsy-type thing! That's right, we're running this again despite all of my biggest most bestest judgment, folks. We like slapping ourselves on the back for things, and now we can do it in OfficialTM Fashion! Iif you ever felt that your unfathomable genius has ever been under/unacknowledged, now is your opportunity to rectify that most grievous error! Since these OfficialTM Awards are being decided by all the members of the community, now is the chance for your brilliance to shine above and earn utterly meaningless titles and PRIZES.*
Oh boy! How do I participate in this OfficialTM Activity?
Great question, you must be head of your class, a brilliant sparkle in the corner of your parents' eyes! All you have to do is copy everything within the spoilered code box below into a PM addressed directly to me, include your ONE vote for each category (which are explained below), and then submit the pm. After a Certain Amount Of TimeTM, all submitted "votes" will be tallied, and winners in each individual category declared - though we all know you'll win, you wonderful person you - to much celebration and fanfare.
Or just pop it in this thread, if you give absolutely zero fffffffffriendly bananas if people know how you voted.
Everyone gets to vote for everything; there are no special people with special votes for certain categories. Furthermore, while it's fine to not vote for a category if you can't think of anything for it, only a maximum of one vote is allowed for each.
WOW! It's so easy, even [insert 2017 meme here] can do it!**
Wait, what happened to the last one?
The 2015 Awards, and their results, can be found here.
The 2016 Awards, and their results, can be found here.
Can I vote for myself?
That's a bitch move, but you can vote for yourself as long as you can live with the knowledge that you's a bitch.
These OfficialTM Category names are weird, what do they mean?
Good question! Below are short explanations for each of the categories, so you know what you're voting for!
Member of the Year: The member who best represents what we want every member to be like, who best represents the best all-around person we like to have in our community. Completely arbitrary & subjective.
Contributor of the Year: Someone who contributed something of significant value to the community, generally someone who added/brought something that bettered the community as a whole.
Writer of the Year: The person who consistently writes the very wow stories, characters, etc. Maybe not the most quantity, but his/her consistent quality always impresses.
Newcomer of the Year: Like "Member of the Year," but specifically for people that joined the forum in 2017 only. Use that "Members" button at the top of the forum if you have to.
Most Active: Who on the forum is in the most dire need of sunlight and/or going the fuck to sleep.
Most Helpful: Someone whose always there to lend a non-judgmental, non-cynical hand with advice or guidance on any subject asked of them.
Most Creative: Who made the prettiest pretty? Pictures, videos...uh, sculptures? Artistic, creative-type stuff.
Best Sport: Typically someone fairly humble, the kind of person you always want to hang out or write with. Someone who's really quiet pleasant even in "defeat."
Forum's Favorite Flag: We have a bazillion fake fucking nations, surely one of them has a flag you really like.
Most Memorable Moment: Anything - could be a post, chat snippet, anything - that was "totally epic," something that stood out as something worth remembering.
The President Caesar Memorial Award: The forum's most notorious lurker, someone most likely to not see this post or know that they even won this award.
Shepherd of the Drama Llamas: For quelling or resolving the dramas. Also, the person most likely to have a problem filling in the next category.
Liberator of the Drama Llamas: For starting or exacerbating the dramas. Extra points is they're also the most likely to start drama over receiving this award.
Card Czar: Who is king or queen of the spam. Someone who gets everyone together for a fun time...or at least tries so very hard, bless their heart.
Most Captivating Story: The story (mtrp, fantasy, free-form, anything), and writer, that captured your attention and that you follow religiously? Bonus points if you have no active part in it.
Most Developed Character: Like above, which person's RP/story/writing character really sticks out to you as someone/something memorable? Doesn't matter if the character is recurring or a one-shot "disposable" thing.
* No actual prizes exist. Any Prizes awarded are not affiliated with or condoned by the Siora AwardsTM.
** I'm getting lazy with these. not nearly so lazy as simply copying the entire post whole-cloth from the previous year, but still lazy.
