Hey everybody! It's that time of the month again -- time to vote for your favourite kills and deaths! A reminder for everybody once again, please make sure you read the rules that are pinned in this forum before you vote. Also, please note that you are not allowed to vote for your own character. IPs are logged by Invisionfree and we can see if you're cheating. So play fair, be nice, have fun, and vote! (Please note that characters that are already deceased are not eligible to receive Best Kill Award. Likewise, characters that have gone inactive are not eligible to receive Best Kill Award. Characters who have been killed by staffers due to activity reasons are not eligible for Best Death Award.) Also, keep in mind that to vote you must log out and vote as a Guest! I've once more taken the initiative to link you guys to every kill and death that's been nominated, so I have to stress that you all read every kill and death through before voting, so as to give everybody a fair chance. It doesn't take very long, and the handlers who spent a fair deal of time trying to write a quality scene would appreciate the support. Thanks to everyone who votes, and keep the slaughter coming! Best Kill Award: "J.R" Rizzolo for the deaths of Anton Wykowsku, Edgar Hoskins and/or Joe Cande. Adam Dodd for the death of Dennis McDonald. Terrie Brightwell for the death of Leo Curtis. Gabe McCallum for the death of Evan Angler. Michael Anders for the death of Abel Williams. Lenny Priestly for the deaths of James Martinek, Heath Trennoby and/or Lauren Howard Alexis Machina for the death of Vera Lang. Best Death Award: riserugu for the death of Briana North. Super Llama for the death of Edgar Hoskins. Solitair for the death of Dane Zygmunt. Pigeon Army for the death of Leo Curtis. Scipher for the death of Evan Angler. Rimfire for the death of Abel Williams. Neuphim for the deaths of Vera Lang and Heath Trennoby. ZombiexCreame for the death of James Martinek Muninn for the death of Lauren Howard Crash for the death of Anna Grout. --- As always, guys, the formatting is pretty easy: Vote: Reason: --- You're required to give a valid reason behind your vote. Voting because you "like the handler" or the "kill or death was awesome" isn't going to suffice. Any votes without legitimate reasons will be disqualified, as always. Remember, you must read through all the kills and deaths; then pick a favourite and hope they win the prize! Voting will end December 2nd at 11:59 PM EST. The announcement declaring the winners will be posted on the 3rd. Good luck to everybody who's been nominated, and happy voting! |

Best Kill: Michael Anders Why: Who said, that best kill, must be always brutal/spectacular etc. It was really hilarious comical one. I was laughing when i read it, and I still love it. Sure, Lenny is Badass, so do Riz, Lex is now a 1st class player but... that was all pretty 'normal' way of dealing with people. Michaels was random... but does it make it any less hilarious? IMO no. Best Death: Muninn Well... that was only 2 words... but may the lightning strike me, if it weren't 2 most appropriate words used. Quick. To the point. Without any 'OMG I'm dying'. I love it! |

Best Kill: If Lenny had gone into his "Liz was kidnapped!" berserker rage sooner, he probably would've won this month. Instead, I'll vote for Michael Anders, simply because his reaction afterwards made me lol. (Watch out for rocks. They'll kill you dead.) Best Death: Leo Curtis mouthing off like a jackass until he realizes "Oh shit, I'm dead." made me lol as well. |

Best Kill Award Although Lenny was a really close second for me, my vote goes to Michael Anders because it was just freaking hilarious. NEVER HAD SWEET HOME ALABAMA BEEN SO DEADLY. Bahahah, so good. It was kind of a nice break from all the carnage, something a little more light-hearted. Or, you know, as light-hearted as murder can get. Best Death Award This one was tough to decide because there were some really good ones, I particularly liked the deaths of James and Vera, but my vote goes to Crash for the death of Anna Grout. Her conversation with Madison and the thought process she went through during and after her murder of Dane made her very sympathetic and her death really sad. |

BKA: Alexis Machina for the death of Vera Lang. The whole betrayal thing really appealed to me, but what I liked best was the reaction to the kill. It made the whole scene and made this one my favorite. BDA:PidgeonArmy's death of Leo Curtis I really loved the irony. He gave his evil villian speech before falling over dead. It was both suspenseful, funny, and satisfying. |

Best Kill Award - Lenny and Michael Anders were both close runners up, but my vote is for Alexis Machina. Her betrayal of Vera just had that, er, extra layer of cold-hearted frosting on it, and looks to act as a real turning point for her character. Plus, I love how pissed off she got afterwards. It felt real. Best Death Award - For this one, I've got to go with Rimfire and Abel's tragic encounter with a rock. Credit goes to both him and PA, but Rimfire's last post just sealed the deal. It's got to be one of the best tragicomic deaths I've seen here. |

BKA Vote: Michael Anders Reason: I just remembered how amusing this death was and how sudden it was. Quite frankly all of the deaths were pretty predictable and on the most part pretty bland. However I thought the whole Sweet Home Alabama of death thing was original, sudden and much more entertaining than someone maniac killing people... plus, I'd love to see how Michael Anders would react should he actually win the award. BDA Vote: Muninn Reason: "You bastard." I really feel that this was the greatest last words ever and I doubt anyone will disagree with me. Oh why did Lauren have to die? |

BKA Vote: Alexis Machina > Vera Lang This handler feels like if a "best kills of SOTF" list were to be put together, it'd be rather pointless if each single individual superfluous-adjective kill didn't have its own feel to it, like the handlers involved had made it their own. This felt like a cross between a classic mindgame kill and the oft-uncomfortable killer-conscience scenario, which was absolute tits. BDA Vote: Crash for the death of Anna Grout Anna's death was a fine portrait painted of the BR manga's wide-eyed, glistening-mouthed, cackling student who'd clearly lost it. You just don't see those in SOTF anymore, which is a right shame. |

BKA: Alexis Machina for the death of Vera Lang Reason: In a field of rather stock-standard kills this time around, Alexis' managed to hit all the right notes in an atmospheric sense. There was just something about her rather cool approach to the whole thing that just made it that much more unnerving. BDA: riserugu for the death of Briana North After looking through the deaths (which were of a much higher quality generally than the kills, in my opinion) and finding a few interesting ones (honourable mentions to Solitair for Dayne and Crash for Anna), I settled on Briana, just because the death was so unbelievably tragic, I found myself sitting at the computer for a couple of minutes afterwards, blinking. It was incredibly affecting, which was surprising, and for that the death gets full kudos. |

Best Kill: Terrie Brightwell (Leo Curtis) I loved to see this smug schemer get hoisted by his own petard. His delayed reaction was priceless. Best Death: Scipher (Evan Angler) Holy crap. This one was a real shock. Evan and Gabe seemed as inseparable as Rob Adams and Matthew Drew from V2. I wasn't expecting Evan to self-destruct like he did. |

Best Kill: Terrie Brightwell killing Leo Curtis It was the disbelief that really did it for me. The fact he thought he was still in charge all the way till the end was so very sweet. I dunno, seeing the fragile, frightened girl getting the kill was kind of like icing on the cake. Best Death: Anna Grout Being shot and playing that off well is good and all, but to see someone slowly descend into madness before ending their own life? That's what I like to see. |

BKA: Alexis Machina for the death of Vera Lang Alexis' kill on Vera was just so well-managed and almost justified that when it was executed it came off very seamless. The attitude and reaction afterwards were just the icing on the cake. BDA: Crash for Anna Grout Anna's death was great. It's very hard to write both a suicide and a degression into psychological problems, and the way it was executed was beautiful. My favourite by far this month. |

Thanks for voting, everybody! The polls are now closed and the results will be counted and posted along with the next announcement. On that note, the rolls will be posted tomorrow/later today as scheduled, but the announcement part will be edited into it by about Friday. There was a miscommunciation between the staff and as a result of hectic schedules I need a bit of extra time. |
