Satty calls Squee a shitposter here in the announcement of the awards but that's basically the only evidence that it -may- have been used as a surrogate that I could find.

Yeah, I didn't know, either.

If people want to see Best Shitposter, we could. Is there anyone who would actually be upset if they received that award (especially who has a chance of winning it)? You don't have to post here, you can PM me privately and we'll keep it a secret.

Any support for Thirstiest Poster?

Best Comeback/Best Recently Returned sounds like a good one to bring back!

A few people against Most Ship it seems, so that may be another one we remove, as well as the Mafia ships.

For Rumble-specific awards, how much overlap is there between that and Best RP and Best RPer? In terms of demographic. Though, it is true that there are some Rumble participants who don't RP, so it would be cool to recognize that somehow -
actually, I think the idea of a permanent badge for past Rumble winners sounds like a good one, and maybe some permanent badges for other, super special things or contributions. What do people think? Any other things that are like, a one-time chance that could be remembered?

Yeah, I remember that from the announcement, but I thought "from a chill dude to shitposter and Tumblr extraordinaire" was just his qualification of "changed".

Honestly, given the activity level, I think Best RPer (Broken Sanctum) and Best RPer (Rumble) would be better to do. Have we had an RP that wasn't one of those in the past year? I'm too lazy to check. But that also helps ease that issue of "Well I RPed in one and not the other".

Best RP can just be dropped in that case, I think, given how few options there are.

also

My suggestion is to give all the awards to the best person, i.e. me.

This is why we need a Best Shitposter award.

Yeah, Nell's right. Sorry if that gave anyone the impression that it was a surrogate shitposting award.

That's a thought, HJ. But, do you think BS is established enough to have its own category for Best RPer? I mean, there's certainly a lot less posts than otherwise... but, I suppose Rumble VIII won Best RP a month after being created, so quantity may not matter. And the RPers do have a large part with no overlap.

Other things:
- Isn't Best Staffer already Most Fascist, Boyd? =P
- I'm not sure about Worst Fad. Could someone give some examples of potential nominations, and we can discuss whether it's a good idea?

I still feel like I'm living in an era where Jackal would have won this
We seriously really need to start talking again

Also some people might like the staff, Satty, so I can't afford to take that risk of it not being a separate award

Worst fad would be stuff like intercoursing or puns or shitposting to people without a sense of humor or even skype itself

As for BS, if you take the "it's not really established" approach to it in that light, then there's no point having best RP anyway since it won't beat Rumble then.

Yeah, that's a good point. Okay, leaning towards that, then.

With regards to scrapping Best RP, though, I think a fair point there might be that it allows RPs from the past to still compete with present RPs. So the present activity of RPs in Temple might not necessarily be a factor in determining the winner.

Also Boyd, did you forget that MODS ARE FASCIST won Best Staffer last year? =P

That's because that was a fad

I dunno if it still is now

Anyway who votes for old RPs, if somebody nominated something really old that they reread or something and nobody else remembers it, that's not going to get any votes

Isn't Best Shitposter more or less a variation on the Biggest Spammer award we used to have? Why'd we even stop that one?

Last time... Rumble V, QftC, and the Charade had one vote each.
Rumble VII had two
Pancakes (with waffles and etc) had three
THE FIERCE GREEN FIRE had three (technically not an RP so would've been disqualified).
Rumble VIII had four

So it's not as if Rumble is the only thing out there >.> especially since there is Broken Sanctum this time as well.

EDIT: I'll definitely be leaving out joke nominations this time. Like, things that are actually impossible to qualify, not just unlikely contenders.

As for Biggest Spammer, I think it was just that spamming isn't really a thing anymore, or has generally evolved into shitposting...?

Alas for the Good Old Days of 2007 Temple where spamming was king and milk and honey flowed freely from every orifice. Oh, if only we were back then in those halcyon days instead of now where everything is a wasteland of unfunniness and drama. Woe is me, alas and alack! If only more people read Old Topics and respected Vintage Memes. But now it's only shitposting and everything is ruined forever. *carves a D into the topic and vanishes*

Weren't Pancakes and FIERCE GREEN FIRE Battlefield topics from that year, though? The only new Battlefield topic we've had this year is one that just started. Charade and QftC were ongoing things at the time (inasmuch as QftC can be considered "ongoing") and I don't even know how Rumble V got in there.

I think including older RPs that aren't still active is dumb.

But D&R did have a burst of closing activity this year, so including it would be fair game, I suppose. Which gives us a total of four possible nominations: a several-year-long RP that just ended, Rumble, a new RP that's more-or-less just starting, and a private Battlefield topic that did just start.

Personally, I feel those have such a wide range of audience and involvement that putting them all into a "Best RP" award doesn't work well - it's like putting breads, fruits, and meats into a "Best Food" category. But that's just me, maybe other people think it'd still be worthwhile to keep. I'm not adamant about removing it or anything, I just think it was made in a time of much more varied RP activity, and isn't very relevant anymore.
