. . : : The Siora Awards 2017 : : . .
Final Results
I didn't forget to post the Siora Award results, YOU forgot to post the Siora Awards results!
In any case, we got a pretty average number of results, though some people forgot to submit responses after pledging to do so, but that's fiiiiiiine, really. We still had enough to get a good spread of votes, so let us announce our grand winners!
Most Developed Character: Ikarius, with "Empress Mirai Sekai" & Adwest, with "Sophia Bernadette Durnador"
Not very many votes came in on this category, but those that did were long-standing and influential parts of their respective stories, playing such active roles in shaping their regions of Siora. Hopefully we'll see more of them in the rest of 2018, yes?
Most Captivating Story: see below
Four (!) stories won here as none of them could garner anything more than an initial vote, which I simply consider as a win for our RP if the field is so strong that no clear winner can emerge. Let's take a look at them:
- Hadash's story "Dying New Galasia" continued still the story of the spiral of the New Galasian civil war into its eventual intervention by Angiris.
- Nentsia's "The Form in the Road" explored the directions and consequences of dictatorship in a country whose people are quivering for the chance to experience a real democracy.
- Hadash's "Hôinôm: Changes and Obstacles" explored the delicate political game that emerges between the forces of authoritarianism and the forces of pluralism that emerges in a country as it attempts to bring itself into the modern age.
- Nentsia's "The King's Freedom." Terror and intrigue in the mysterious kingdom of Nerysia! What's going on?
Card Czar: Sal
Ladies and gentlemen, your undisputed Card Czar and champion for a third straight year! Can anyone stop her?
Liberator of the Drama Llamas: Lomarre
Shepherd of the Drama Llamas: Flo
It takes all sorts.
The President Caesar Memorial Award: Zabuza825
Come back Zab, we miss you! We have cakes! We see you over there, being all sneaky and stuff!
Most Memorable Moment: Tied, see below
We have a three-way tie, which is interesting, even though it happened last year. Is this a trend? I guess we'll see.
In any case, the 1582 SIFA World Cup was certainly a fun gig, and full of drama in the finals!
Oh right, and remember that one time that everyone got bent out of shape over Caladria, especially the severely incompetent HLE. LOL!
And finally there was that time that Ark told [redacted] to go and- hey! Keep this a happy and constructive awards, m'kay?
Forum's Favorite Flag: Severyane, Sainam (RIP), HLE, Angiris
The nations of Severyane (Hahk), Blac, Ayzek, and Anakinexi, respectively. Not much to say. Maybe we'll see new flags with the opening of Alt-Earth RP! Woo!
Best Sport: BrumBrum [ [ Honorable Mention: Hadash; Flo; Hahk ] ]
Last year we had someone who's just really cool about going with the flow and cooperating in whatever needs cooperating. Brum may not be that all the time, but he's a good sport in another way: regardless of how much you rag on the boi, he's always there to just have some fun and a good time writing stuff. Good for you!
Most Creative: Ayzek [ [ Honorable Mention: Carp; Ikarius ] ]
PHP-kun.
Most Helpful: Flo [ [ Honorable Mention: Ikarius; Seperallis ] ]
Good Guy Flo strikes again!
Most Active: Hadash [ [ Honorable Mention: Ayzek; DeShaine; Blac ] ]
Hadash comes back with the second year running, and with good reason. Still nearly always online and always taking on new projects while coming up with ideas for more stories, and while making regular posts. If you're on Discord and make a comment, chances are you'll see a reply from Hadash within minutes. Does he even sleep? Is he actually A.I. 2.0? Spooky.
Now, for the very fancy, very prestigious, very arbitrary "of the Year" awards! Wow, so important!
Newcomer of the Year: Father Wi11iam
Father Wi11iam came to us and showed much promise. He is still in the Discord community, but hopefully we'll see them both here again!
Writer of the Year: Nents & Hadash
Nents returns as Writer of the Year for a third year running, but is joined by Hadash this time in a dead tie. It goes without saying that these two would capture the spot, as you can see so much of their stories capturing the attention of us all in the categories above.
Contributor of the Year: Ikarius [ [ Runner-up: Hadash; Seperallis ] ]
I'll be honest, I don't remember enough of what happened last year to comment on this. I believe it has a lot to do with getting the Discord up and running with a lot of its features and such. Also some posting. If that's the case, given that the Discord is where 95% of our community interaction takes place now, then I feel that this award is well warranted, indeed.
Member of the Year: Seperallis [ [ Honorable Mention: Mestra; Ayzek; Blac ] ]
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Thank you all for one wonderful year, and a hearty congratulations to all of our winners on their shiny new, meaningless, arbitrary awards! Yay!
