Yes, this again! Here we have our not at all regular request/demand for the userbase at large to offer feedback on the Board Awards. While this can encompass anything from voting methods, consistent scheduling (pffffft), or badges, the main goal is always suggestions for the awards themselves. Namely, the ones we have, ones we used to have, and ones you guys think we should have. Or get rid of. Satty pls. So yep! Let us have it, guys. Suggestions for new awards, demands that we bring back some old ones, discussing the meaning or qualification of an award, or even tweaks to our current set-up; dividing, combining, whatever. For easy reference, here's a current list of the Awards in no particular order: Best RPer Most Evil Best Musician Funniest Poster Worst Opinions Best Staffer Best Fad Best Advice Best Friends Most Topic Ever Best New User Most Worthy Best Clansperson Most Innocent Most Ship Best Graphic Artist Most Changed Best Roleplay/Battlefield Best Writer Most Serious Most Shippable Also, two notes, even though they don't really belong here but [radio edit] you I'm lazy. One, the deadline for the current Board Awards voting will be around this weekend, give or take a few days. Please, as if you expect solid deadlines from us. Two, we've more or less gotten rid of the concept of people being "ineligible" for nominations or votes if they've won a particular award a certain amount of times. Kinda sours it for people to say "Here's your award, but you only got it because the first three options were disqualified!" Of course, if any of you have objections regarding this decision, this is the place to voice them. New members, feel free to comment as well! A right to be heard is not dependent upon seniority here at the Temple. And if anyone tries to tell you otherwise, point them out to the Staff and we will abuse the hell out of them. For justice, shits, and giggles. Mostly giggles.

I think the three time thing was a thing because otherwise, say, back in the day Chris would win best spammer every time and like, what's the point of having an award if it just goes to the same person every time? Also do we really need so many separate "arts" awards? I don't think we have enough people that say, regularly make music (Adnarel, Tan, who else, even?) to warrant it's own reward, do we? Also bring back best Mafia, those games are big enough that there's no problem having that award, and I don't think it was one of those awards that the same person won every time to make it meaningless. Also best ship/most shippable are gross |

Epobbp and Leaf presumably make music pretty often, but they do not share a lot : 3 |

Best Friends and Most Ship are kinda similar to one another. Obviously there's a difference, but enought to warrant two seperate polls? Also, Worst Opinions is dumb. That's my opinion. |

Yes, yes, we'll remove Worst Opinions for next time. >.> I don't know how we missed Best Mafia/Best Mafia Player, but those will return as well, most likely. Leaf makes music as well, Boyd. As well as Moose, though he hasn't posted any recently... are just those three awards too much? They're pretty distinct... or, are you included Best RP/er in that category? |

I was going to say you could probably prune Best RP too since these days nobody reads RPs they aren't in anyway (like they ever did), meaning that the award effectively amounted to "which RP has the most people." Then I saw the actual poll and that several battlefield topics got nominated as well, so maybe people do read them. I guess it can stay. Best RPer is fine though, since even if the "RP with the most people" thing becomes a factor, it still means it's not a foregone conclusion thing on who wins it. lolololol |

... I don't post much anymore, especially not recently, but I do "make" music on occasion. It's not a "best composer" award, but anything that pertains to music, right? Doesn't Mia post things too, as well as others? |

I am wondering if there is a better title than "Graphic Artist" that could potentially include Artisan Crafters in the future. I really do not mind being not nominated but I guess it feels a bit of a downer for those who do not work well on the 2D plane and I feel that title seems to imply only those kinds of arts to the exclusion of those who work well with other materials of the outside world. Than again I only saw maybe one other here who does artisan crafts besides me such as cosplay. |

I think it warrants 2 separate polls. At least, if you go by the votes for myself and Slime. In Best Friends we have a fair amount of votes, but in Most Ship we have 0. EDIT: Also, was thinking of a Most Intelligent award. I support bringing back Best Mafia Game as well. I don't know why you guys would get rid of that. |

![]() The art awards are fine with me, but I do think Graphic Artist should be changed since as Lash points out it feels like it outcasts 2-D artists, even if there is no other award specifically for them. |
