Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

Yeah, I mean making it more of a spectacle, rather than just posting the results all at once. Maybe announce each award one by one on either Skype or in a topic.

That's a good idea! Maybe we can have a big Skype call/just use mainchat, or revive the chatroom for it. It would be cool seeing everyone's reactions live.

Sound the horn and call the cry: "How many of them can we make die?"

With the more specific Rumble things, Squee, I think those would be a bit too specific to one part of Rumble, rather than something that encapsulates the whole experience. And for the Board Awards, which are Temple-wide, I think it should be something that as many people as possible have a chance to win.
But, that's a fantastic idea to keep in mind, and I think it would be cool to do that post-each Rumble, as a way of recognizing various cool things from that Rumble, like MVPs or so on.

Squee, I wish you'd mentioned the Most Changed thing earlier. My comments for the awards definitely weren't always serious, if you look at some of the other comments. I meant it at as an affectionate jab or in the manner of a roasting. If it weren't well-meant, that is not the venue I would have used for it. My conduct towards you last year definitely wasn't always exemplary, but this wasn't intended that way.



I think allowing people to include comments with their votes is a great idea! When I announce the results, it would give me a wider pool of things to draw from in order to contextualize the award.
That makes sense. I suppose with the Mafia awards, they were always pretty generic, so keeping any Rumble-related awards similarly generic is fair. I do like the idea of doing them after each Rumble, though!

Don't worry about the award thing any more, I'm over it by now.

I agree with nixing the Mafia awards and making some kind of Rumble award. Maybe nix best RP (since new RPs in general are nonexistent now) but keep best RPer.

Yeah, drop the mafia awards. Drop best RP (just go with two "best RPer" awards for the two active RPs). And unless you're planning on accepting joke nominations, drop most ship. There are some categories that are only worth consideration if they accept joke nominations, and I think that's one of them.

So, here's roughly what we're looking at now:


Best Advice
Best Artist
Most Changed
Best Clansperson
Best Comeback/Best Recently Returned
Most Evil
Best Fad
Best Friends
Most Funny
Best Inactive Poster
Most Innocent
Best Musician
Best New User
Best Roleplay (active in 2015)
Best Roleplayer (active in 2015)
Most Serious
Best Shitposter
Best Staffer
Most Thirsty
Most Topic
Most Worthy
Best Writer

So after rereading the topic, I'm kind of leaning to this approach for Roleplayer/RPs, but I'm open to suggestions still! Another option would be to leave Best Roleplay up as a general category, while still ensuring recent stuff is recognized with the RPer rewards.

I disapprove of doing away with Best RP and creating two specific Best RPer awards; keep them as is, imo.

Also what the hell does Most Thirsty mean.

Totally realized I miss census'd when rereading this topic, and having the separate RP and RPer categories does appear to be winning atm. I'll definitely be restricting them to "active in 2015" only, though.

"Most Thirsty" is the "Thirstest Poster" Draco mentioned, aka the one who is most obsessed with characters' romance/sex/and whatnot. You could probably angle this to waifus/hasubando stuff as well if someone's just... really into that.
