Just something I thought of today in class. We've got a really active group of roleplayers here, who both roleplay here and on other sites. We have forum awards, but what about more specific awards within the roleplaying community? Would anyone be interested in having something like that, to recognize different achievements and contributions our great roleplaying community has made? |

Sounds interesting, but I'd like to hear what sort of awards you're thinking of. |

That sounds interesting. Another couple of ideas off the top of my head, best death and best dialogue. I like the sound of this, but would it just cover the rps on TWC? I ask since you mentioned rping on the others sites, and well, not everyone has seen them. |

I like the idea. Gorfang makes a good point, though. Maybe have awards on TWC just for the TWC RPs? Could have a separate topic for the awards of our other RPs, or even post a topic at the end of our future non-TWC RPs and give out awards then for that specific RPs? |

Yeah, that would make sense. Separate awards for on here and for other sites. Sounds good. So a list of awards (please add more): Best Character Background Best Dialogue Most Creative Best Plot Twist Best Death Best Event Best Plotline Best Character Best Roleplayer Edited by Hotshot, Feb 28 2009, 01:06 AM.

Best Character Background? This could be what was revealed about the character's past within the RP, as well stories writting in FHAG about them. |

I feel like that would be included in the Best Character award, though. Other thoughts? |

Best character would be a more overall award, surely? The background one would be more specific to a certain aspect of that character. Have to wait and see what everyone else thinks though, I guess. |

IMO the best character would have the best character background. Background is a kinda broad term. Past, perhaps is different, but more complicated to define. Past could be everything up to this moment in time, which would not only have advanced by the time you post the reply but could also be different for different places in the RP. |

In my view, I'd say best character is what comes across as literally being the best character involved in the roleplay, either for that character's traits and mannerisms or the way he or she is portrayed. Best character background would be awarded to who has developed the most thorough and informative fluff to accompany their characters. Or at least that is how I would see things. |

So it's 2-2...someone needs to break the tie.

I like breaking things, so I'll do it. I agree with Alex, best character background is different to best character because the background should only cover the bio in the character profile and anything which occured before the character was in the rp, whether it was in a previous rp (don't think we've got that but figured I'd mention it in case it happens one day, *angles for rp about the last Weissland Civil War* Lol) or in background and stories in FHaG. The best character to me would not be about their background apart from background revealed in the rp, it would be their personality, mannerisms, and so on. Like Alex mentioned. |

That's another good suggestion. Good stuff. I'm hesitant to suggest this, because it could just be a can of worms. All of the awards so far are positive, i.e. the best ... Should we include include a couple of more negative awards? If we do it sensibly it might be ok, but it could just cause arguments. I was thinking worst character (which would hopefully be a mature critique on which character you think is the worst out of the rp, not necessarily a bad thing, just a character that needs more work or needs better direction. Obviously I'm thinking something better than 'you're character sucks.') and something to have a laugh at, like cringe-worthy dialogue, i.e, the opposite of best dialogue. Just throwing that out there to see the response. |

Eh, I feel like the awards should be to honor the hard work people put in. Taking your suggestion, however, I feel like an "after-action review"-type thing would be a good wrap-up exercise to do every once in a while. For the off-site RPs, they could be an accompaniment to the awards. I feel like they should be separate for two reasons: 1, because the awards should be just that, awards. 2, because the critiquing should be a back-and-forth thing IMO. |

I think that whilst it may be a good idea, I'm in acquiesce with Rudd that we should be looking to reward the hard work of individuals - negative awards might cause an argument or two. |
