Here it is, ladies and gentlemen. It's the moment you've all been waiting for... THE 2011 LUGIASIAN AWARDS CEREMONY [/SIZE] We've had a great run this year and we've all seen some great stuff rise up. Let's not wait any longer; here's the first set of awards. THE OSCARSRP-related awards. RP AwardsBest Recent RPThe Nominees: Last Best Hope | Bicé's Househeld topic | Prisoner's Dilemma Last year's winner: Obscured Truth Let's hear from our experts! BloodWolf: Bicé's Househeld topic. I just remember it starting and thinking it was pretty cool. Sadly, I haven't kept up with it, or most of the RP stuff, too well.
Pohatu: Last Best Hope is gonna win one of these two [Best Recent RP and Best Overall RP -Ed.], and I'm guessing it'll probably be this one. Aleta is still too niche for Prisoner's Dilemma to have much of a shot, and great though her topic is, Bicé is probably only going to be favored by Househeld-only RPers. The ORP crowd in Househeld will likely lean toward LBH instead, so that'll be my guess.
Biscuit: Bicé's Househeld topic.
SV: Last Best Hope. Oh man. This was so hard. Bicé's Househeld topic is freaking phenomenal. But what Biscuit and Ninety have done here is masterful and, in my opinion, some of the best work to come out of Exy yet.
Elliot: ...
And the winner is… Last Best Hope!
This was a fairly close race and I'm proud to be a part of the winning team on this one. Belle did a wonderful job giving Bicé a full and satisfying topic and Prisoner's dilemma has some very meaty and delicious posts in it but it just wasn't enough to edge out the assassins from the top spot. Best Overall RPThe Nominees: Obscured Truth | Househeld | Last Best Hope Last year's winner: The Case of the Burgled Boullogne Experts say: BloodWolf: Househeld is bound to win. Too many people are in it, and it's not as screwed up as That Shrinking Feeling was by it's large cast, or like Ishkabibble. I have little doubt that Househeld won't win.
Pohatu: If LBH wins Recent, it's not going to win Overall -- people won't vote for the same thing twice in these two awards. That leaves Obb Troozies and Househeld, and at that point I guess it comes down to how many Househeld players vote. Honestly, in the end, I suspect Obscured Truth will claim this one, making it (I'm pretty sure) the first RP to win both Best Recent and Best Overall.
Biscuit: Obscured Truth should take Best Overall and Best Plot over Househeld due to its highly entertaining content and its linearity (HH is highly entertaining as well, but I think the breadth of its scope will end up hurting it in the polls).
SV: Househeld. Go get your surprised faces on. I mean, given the sheer number of throbbing bone bulges we harbor for all things Homestuck on these boards. But in all seriousness, the sheer amount of work and creativity invested in this mammoth undertaking is certainly deserving of recognition.
Elliot: …
And the winner is… Obscured Truth!
Our experts were right to be divided as Obscured Truth edged out Househeld by a single vote. Huge congratulations are in order for everyone in OT and hearty consolations for Househeld and LBH.
Now it's time for me to get caught up with OT again. Best Short RPThe Nominees: Whisper in my Ear | Last Best Hope | Through the Arras Last year's winner: An August Luncheon And the winner is… Last Best Hope!
Whisper and Through the Arras made a showing but LBH had overwhelming support in this contest. Best Long RPThe Nominees: Househeld | Crystal 2 And the winner is… Househeld!
Congratulations everyone! Now go post in Househeld. (and crystal too) Best RP PostThe Nominees: "Siete sicuro che volete uscire?" | Occlum intro | "...you're all VIPs today" |Marshall-Yoon flashback | The First People's First Legend Last year's winner: Floriferous Experts say: BloodWolf: Occlum intro. Again, Househeld will probably be a major pull for votes this year.
Pohatu: Now here's an award I see the Househeld crowd winning out on. Occlum intro probably takes it, though I'll be surprised if the Marshall-Yoon flashback doesn't see some support.
Biscuit: I think Occlum Intro will walk off with Best Post, because holy shit, Stel takes a huge fucking RP, with multiple threads, in which hardly anyone knows what's happening, and in one swoop he sets the tone, and makes it indisputable. That's a feat.
SV: Marshall-Yoon flashback. Obscured Truth was a wonderful RP, and I loves me some Yoon back story. That's about all there is to it. That said, I won't be at all surprised if the Occlum intro takes it.
Elliot: … And the winner is: Marshall-Yoon Flashback!
Obscured Truth exerts its dominance over the competition once again. Best PlotThe Nominees: Obscured Truth | Blackbird Saga Last year's winner: Ishkabibble Experts say… BloodWolf: Obscured Truth. Obscured Truth is the one I see the most, I hear people talk about, the one that sticks out most in my mind. So, I'm going to say Obscured Truth, while everyone picks the other option.
Pohatu: The LBH saga consists entirely of LBH so far (unless The Hog-Nosed Snake is the next installment, and even then that's only one post). So the term "LBH saga" might scare people off for the moment. Another win for OT, I shouldn't wonder. (Gasoline is part of the saga too, potato. -Ed.)
Biscuit: Obscured Truth.
SV: Obscured Truth. Okay, honestly? This is just a wild guess. Both RPs are excellent and both deserve to win so I pretty much just flipped a coin. Mentally.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Obscured Truth!
Two short RPs and a mini-story might mark the beginnings of a saga but when faced with a juggernaut like Obscured Truth even our hardened assassins have to take a knee. Best RP CastThe Nominees: Obscured Truth | Emet Last year's winner: Luxury Train Ride And the winner is… Obscured Truth!
Emet has some very big names in it (and a fresh new face that you should totally check out) but I think its year-long nap hurt it deeply. Of course, I'm not discounting the fact that Obscured Truth has pushed some lesser-known characters into the limelight and is definitely deserving of this award. Best AtmosphereThe nominees: Reemergence | Emet | Head Games | Last Best Hope Last year's winner: Emet And the winner is… Last Best Hope!
Best FightThe Nominees: > Flynn: STRIFE STRIFE STRIFE STRIFE STRIFE | Tweak tweaks out | Huck v Sharp Last year's winner: Tie between Mandelbrot vs Lucas/Scar and Vincent vs everyone And the winner is… > Flynn: STRIFE STRIFE STRIFE STRIFE STRIFE
it's the goddamn clowns i tells ya Best Plot TwistThe Nominees: Mickey Sharp, we hardly knew ye | Mose is already in the Medium, homes | And Then Sharp Was the Zombies Last year's winner: No, ethnic boys, you are the demons And the winner is… Mose is already in the Medium, homes! I must say that I was not shocked at all when this twist was revealed. Could it possibly be that I knew Mose was already in the medium before the first Mose post even appeared on the boards ?!! Best FicThe Nominees: Sleepless Dreamer | Muddy Season | Horrortacular Last year's winner: A tie between "Magical Realism Pitch the Prototype" & "Christmas Songs the Revision" And the winner is: Horrortacular!
Guess you should finish that up now, huh, Biscuit?
Note: I lumped this in with the RP awards because every single other Pulitzer award got voted out this year.

Character AwardsBest Recent CharacterThe Nominees: Jacob Marshall | Mickey Sharp | Roufus Mayordomo Last year's winner: Yoon Mangjeol Experts say… BloodWolf: Mickey Sharp
Pohatu: Hmm... I know Mayordomo has scored at least a couple of fans, but I don't see him running away with this one. Most likely it's either Marshall or Mickey, pitting OT and LBH against each other once again. On the weight of his greater accumulation of material, I'd give this to Marshall. Zombie!Mickey would be awesome enough to tip the scales in his favor, except that if I didn't make the connection while reading that Hog-Nosed Snake post, PROBABLY most people haven't either.
Biscuit: Mayordomo for Best Recent. Any man who can disarm Yoon Mangjeol with horror movies and jive-talk is sitting on top of Badass Mountain already.
SV: Mickey Sharp. Sorry, Marshall. The standoff between Huck and Sharp had me so hooked I can't not pick him.
Elliot: … And the winner is... Jacob Marshall!
Best Overall CharacterThe Nominees: Rance West | Daniel Huckabee | Commissioner Williams Last year's winner: Julia Romanesco/Masquerade Experts say... BloodWolf: Daniel Huckabee. Sadly, every time I think of this character, I think of politics.
Pohatu: It'd warm my heart to see Williams take this, but I don't think he will, nor does he particularly need to (really, I'm hoping he can land Best Dramatic). One of the Joy boys'll take it, I reckon. Maybe Huckabee? He seems to have gotten a bit of a leg up on Rance in the public eye, if the 2010 poll is any indication (33.007 vs. 27.875). Must have been the Boullogne appearance or the Formspring that gave him a boost. Rance would heartily deserve it too, but my money's on Huck.
Biscuit: Commissioner Williams... the one constant in Ecruteak. He is the hingepin by which so much of the ORP universe revolves, and Pohatu maintains that consistency with masterful strokes. Best Overall, hands down.
SV: Daniel Huckabee. While Rance and Williams are certainly strong contenders for this award, there's just something so engrossing about Huck. Like Terrian before him, we look at Huckabee and see what we hope our characters can be a little more like when they're all grown up. He's a character there should be novels about.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Daniel Huckabee!
Don't be so modest, Biscuit! Huck has clearly come into his own this year and everyone has taken notice. Congratulations, friendo! Best PersonalityThe Nominees: Reba Winset | Royce Blitherspoon | Roufus Mayordomo Last year's winner: Jonas And the winner is… Roufus Mayordomo! Best PowersetThe Nominees: : Esther Damrosch | Kalim & Nugget | Julia Romanesco | Barclay Edward Trent Last year's winner: The Magite System in Aleta And the winner is… Julia Romanesco!
eh puts on a mask and doesn't afraid of anything Best ProtagonistThe Nominees: Avery | John "Shiro-kun" Whitehearst | Blaise Euler Last year's winner: Illiana And the winner is… Blaise Euler!
hot science chicks ftw Best AntagonistThe Nominees: Volkner | Kalim & Nugget | Cesare & Nico Last year's winner: Mandelbrot And the winner is… Cesare & Nico!
Cesare and Nico made a very strong appearance in Muddy Season and solidified the fact that you don't fuck with the Giarrettieras. Best Comic CharacterThe Nominees: Kitten Quigley | Flynn Sostenuto | Jonas Caliban Last Year's winner: Manager Miko And the winner is… Kitten Quigley!
Kitten's quirky, charming, a little twisted and everyone loves her for it. Best Dramatic CharacterThe Nominees: Commissioner Williams | Vincent | Orville Giguere Last year's winner: Antonio And the winner is… Commissioner Williams!
Potato gets his wish and Williams grabs his award with a coarse hand and stone face. Best DebutThe Nominees: Bicé Calevro | Jacob Marshall | Shouta Minamoto | David Hadley Last year's winner: Tie between Renard and Sem. And the winner is… Shouta Minamoto! Pohatu pulls two wins in a row because holy fucking shit on a pogo stick have you seen this debut?! Shit's so intense it had to be stretched across three posts. Yes, Shouta left a crater when he dropped in on the boards and probably killed Arras in the shockwave. (or maybe it's dead because it's waiting on Lee and Loogs) Best RelationshipThe Nominees: Bicé & Flynn | Illiana & Williams | Huck & Rance | Tweak & Flynn Last year's winner: Yoon/Mayordomo Experts say… BloodWolf: Bicé & Flynn.
Pohatu: Dare I say it? Yeah, I think Bicé/Flynn could bag this one. Giving Flynn that overblown debilitating crush on Bicé was probably the sharpest addition yet to his person. It's certainly paid off well in infusing his topic with life and urgency. And Belle played a smart card in response by having Bicé totally fail to reciprocate his feelings, with her affection toward him rooted more in pity than anything else. What would a Homestuck RP be without dumb time-wasting romantic bullshit?
Biscuit: I think Bicé & Flynn will carry home Best Relationship, because it is the best relationship. The very best. I want it always.
SV: Bicé & Flynn. Aww. They're just too totes presh to pass them up on this.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Daniel Huckabee and Rance West!
Experts! You blew it! A big ol' goose egg for you guys this time. You guys may have been suckered in by the romantic but everyone else thought that those who kill together, win together. Or something like that. Best Crack PairingThe Nominees: Nico/Rie | Cesare/Iliana | Bicé/Kitten | Hector/Huckabee | Yoon/Massimo (III), Hector/Rose Palms | Nat/Rie | Merlin/Jonas | Mose/Kitten | Mark/Reba Last year's winner: Award not presentExperts say… BloodWolf: Yoon/Massimo
Pohatu: fuckin-A, Ninety, you would pick one of the most heavily nominated awards for us to pick. Christ, I dunno. Maybe Hector & Rosie Palms? That's pretty funny. Funny wins awards, right?
Biscuit: I also want Hector/Huckabee to take Best Crack Pairing because let's face it, we all imagined it, and we all liked it, ok? Ok.
SV: Nat/Rie. I'm sure pretty much everyone would be down with this. In fact, I'm pretty sure that pretty much everyone has been down with this for a long, long time.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Nat/Rie!
Lesborama is the breast. Errybody loves lesbians. Most Creative CharacterThe Nominees: Mose Gilland | Reba Winset | Oxley Vontravich Last year's winner: Tie between Esther and Helen And the winner is... Reba Winset!
Psycho senior citizens ftw? Most Underworked CharacterThe Nominees: Mose Gilland | Reba Winset | Yulia Afanasy | Kitten Quigley Last year's winner: Kuro's entire cast And the winner is… A tie between Mose GIlland and Youlia Afanasy!
Post in Househeld, motherfuckers. Best DevelopmentThe Nominees: Flynn Sostenuto | John "Shiro-kun" Whitehearst | Garth Firbolg Last year's winner: Zebedee And the winner is… Flynn Sostenuto!
Flynn, you little rascal, you. You're getting fleshed out nicely. I mean, wait. Uh… you're growing up into a nice young man i mean shit don't take this the wrong way why are you calling the police i haven't even touched you what do you mean ten years in prison oh no oh no oh no oh no Best Minor CharacterThe Nominees: Mickey Sharp | Reagan | Flo/Hugh Last year's winner: Award not present. And the winner is… Mickey Sharp!
Best Character HistoryThe Nominees: Yoon | Jonas | Rie | Esther Last year's winner: Daniel Huckabee And the winner is… Yoon!
She's certainly old enough *wink wink* holy shit I've been writing this goddamn post for too long that wasn't even a joke, come on john

RPer AwardsBest Recent RPerThe Nominees: Iron Mouse | Stel | Belle Last year's winner: Ninety Experts say… BloodWolf: …
Pohatu: Iron Mouse or Belle, since I think Stel will win Most Creative. Probably Belle, I guess, since Househeld RPers are more likely to vote than Missourians. (Missourese? Missourese love company?)
Biscuit: Belle.
SV: Belle. Have you seen Bicé's topic? The answer should be yes. The answer to everything involving Bicé should be yes.
Elliot: ... And the winner is… Belle!
Congratulations, Belle! Now post in the RP! And also maybe post somewhere other than Househeld! But also post in Househeld! Best Overall RPerThe Nominees: Biscuit | Ninety Last year's winner: A tie between Lee and Elliot Experts say… BloodWolf: Biscuit.
Pohatu: Best Overall RPer and Best Characterizer: Biscuit takes one of these and Ninety takes the other. As for who is who, I don't know. They both deserve both. Might as well flip a coin. (Ninety flips a coin. Heads means Pohatu voted for Biscuit. Tails means he voted for Ninety. It was heads so Biscuit gets the vote.)
Biscuit: I'm happy to lay my prediction down for Ninety for Best Overall. I'm also proud to send him up for Best Characterizer, Coolest, and Lifetime Achievement. He's become quite an ass-kicker on the Exodus, even if nobody ever reads his good stuff. Here's hoping he takes home the gold for his efforts.
SV: Biscuit AND Ninety You can't make me choose between these two. Not just because they're both wildly talented writers. Not just because they work so excellently in tandem. But also because I frequently confuse the two when I read them. *cough*.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Biscuit!
A huge honor for our beloved pastry. As much as I would have loved to win this one I concede that Biscuit has bested me this year. His breadth of work jumps from ORP to Aleta and Househeld. Every topic would do well to have a little biscuit somewhere. Best HostThe Nominees: Elliot | Biscuit Last year's winner: Pohatu And the winner is… Biscuit!
A tight race but Biscuit beat Elliot by a single vote. Both of them have made us feel at home in their topics and we should thank them for it. Best ParticipantThe Nominees: Pohatu | Biscuit Last year's winner: Biscuit And the winner is… Pohatu!
Pohatu keeps Biscuit from winning two years in a row by being the gosh darned best participant out there. Best CharacterizerThe Nominees: Ninety | Biscuit | Stel | Tangrow Last year's winner: A tie between Pohatu and choobs Experts say… BloodWolf: ...
Pohatu: Ninety flips a coin. Heads for Biscuit and tails for Ninety. It lands heads.
Biscuit: Ninety.
SV: Testbug. Testbug just straight up needs some accolades for his role in Househeld.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Biscuit!
errybody lubs dem biskits Best CastThe Nominees: Biscuit | Elliot Last year's winner: Pohatu And the winner is… Elliot!
Got a strong lineup there, boy-o. Most Underworked RPerThe Nominees: Testbug | Belle | Lee | Biscuit | SV | Bulbs | Iron Mouse | Loogs | choobs | Everyone Last year's winner: Ninety And the winner is… Everyone!
Seriously guys, post in the goddamn RP already. Most Creative RPerThe Nominees: Stel | Belle | Tangrow Last year's winner: Pohatu Experts say… BloodWolf: Belle.
Pohatu: Spoiler alert, I think Stel will take this one, given the tremendous amount he's contributed to hashing out the story framework for Househeld. Now that I said that, though, I'm guessing I've jinxed myself and Tangrow is going to win.
Biscuit: Stel.
SV: Belle. Have I mentioned Bicé? Because Bicé.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Stel!
You have to give the guy credit; his Househeld topic just shoots creative juices all over everyone's faces. Gross, I know, but he doesn't stop there. He's even got his own RP going that you should probably check out after you towel off. Best Minor CharacterizerThe Nominees: Biscuit | Pohatu | choobs Last year's winner: Award not present. And the winner is… Biscuit!
It only follows that the best characterizer is also the best at making minor characters. Come on, guys.

THE PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARDSaka who are the people we should know Friendliest MemberThe Nominees: SV | Lee | Tangrow | Bulbs Last year's winner: SV Experts say… BloodWolf: I'm going to have to give this one to SV for what, the third time this will be if she wins? Maybe it's because I don't hang out with the Househeld crowd enough, but I don't see much of Tangrow, or Bulbs for that matter, and everyone is too busy shouting at Lee to post in the RP for anyone to notice him being particularly funny.
Pohatu: (Pohatu gave up at this point and did not submit any more predictions. -Ed.)
Biscuit: SV.
SV: SV. Man. I feel weird predicting myself to win this one. So conceited-sounding. All of the nominees are super-nice. (Except Bulbs, who is a jerk.) (<3)
Elliot: … And the winner is… SV!
SV, stop being so goddamn nice and endearing and lovable.
jk, keep it up Funniest MemberThe Nominees: Pohatu | Choobs | Biscuit | Belle | Tangrow | Ninety Last year's winner: ch00beh Experts say… BloodWolf: Choobs.
Pohatu: …
Biscuit: Choobs.
SV: Ninety. How do you pick the cleverest of the clever? Via dice, that's how. I very literally rolled for this one.
Elliot: … And the winner is… A tie between Belle and Ninety!
Belle and Ninety walk into a bar…
Note: Since SV only got this half right, she gets half a point. Happiest MemberThe Nominees: SV | Tangrow | Belle Last year's winner: SV And the winner is… Belle!
She better be happy with all of the praise we're showering on her. Coolest MemberThe Nominees: Ninety | Biscuit | Pohatu | Choobs | Everyone Last year's winner: Ninety Experts say… BloodWolf: Ninety is a pretty cool guy. eh hosts the Lugiasian Awards and doesn't afraid of anything.
Pohatu: …
Biscuit: Ninety.
SV: Everyone. We have so many cool kids here! How could we pick just one?
Elliot: …
And the winner is… A tie between Everyone and Biscuit!
We're all cool people and so is biscuit wat
Note: SV was half-right again so another half-point. Smartest MemberThe Nominees: Stel | Lee | Choobs Last year's winner: ch00beh And the winner is… Lee!
If he's so smart why doesn't he post in the RP? Wisest MemberThe Nominees: Lee | Kuroboom | DL Last year's winner: Lee And the winner is… Lee again!
so wise. Most Dedicated MemberThe Nominees: Elliot | Stel | BloodWolf | Lee | choobs Last year's winner: Pohatu And the winner is… A tie between Elliot and Stel!
Stelliot works hard so you don't have to. Most Creative MemberThe Nominees: Stel | Biscuit | El | Loogs Last year's winner: Lugiasian And the winner is… Stel!
Congratulations, you! With all your pokeymanz pictures and yer housestucks and whatnot. Best ArtistThe Nominees: Pohatu | Stel | Loogs | El Last year's winner: Qzumaki (we miss you, Q!) And the winner is… Pohatu!
I think Househeld has helped Pohatu further refine his sketchy style and it also gave his stuff a ton of exposure, what with his being one of the longest topics in Househeld. Congrats. Most Improved MemberThe Nominees: Pohatu | Stel | Tangrow | Testbug | BloodWolf Last year's winner: Prime Experts say… BloodWolf: I'd honestly like to say that I've improved the most in the past year. I've been posting in the RP, and I've been trying to keep the site active and going whenever I can. I don't start, or really get into fights (drama always seems to find me though...) and I control everyone's on site cash. That's not a subtle threat to anyone out there who didn't vote for me, that's just a reminder that I do.
Pohatu: …
Biscuit: Stel.
SV: BloodWolf. Who nominated Pohatu? And why? Pohatu's, like, the Exodus poster child. Come on now.
Elliot: … And the winner is… BloodWolf!
Keep it up, homie! Most Missed MemberThe Nominees: Drunkhatu | Lee's RPing | Tangrow | Testbug | ch00bs | Wudge | Praetoritevong Last year's winner: Drunkhatu And the winner is… Lee's RPing!
Come back to us, man. Everyone here loves you. Biggest PenisThe Nominees: SV | Everyone on the Exodus combined | choobs Last year's winner: SV Experts say… BloodWolf: SV's penis is clearly the biggest. Even larger than everyone's combined. Don't ask me how that is possible, numbers confuse me. It simply is.
Pohatu: …
Biscuit: Choobs has the Biggest Penis and the Biggest Vagina. Both of them. So here's hoping he goes and fucks himself.
OHHHHHHHHHH
jk chubz ily
SV: Everyone else on the Exodus combined. I suppose I can't really hold up against that kind of...nevermind.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Biggest VaginaThe Nominees: Pohatu | Choobs Last year's winner: Award not present. Experts say… BloodWolf: Without a doubt, Pohatu's vagina is so big that you could fit all the RPs that Lee needs to post in in there. All of them.
Pohatu: …
Biscuit: Choobs.
SV: Choobs. Choobs is simply a more yonic name than Pohatu.
Elliot: … And the winner is… Best CoupleThe Nominees: SV/Truancy | RP/Inactivity Last year's winner: Exodus/Procrastination And the winner is… RP/Inactivity!
Do I really have to say it at this point? Post in the goddamn RP. Especially Emet. THE RAZZIESaka who should we all stay the fuck away from. Biggest ProcrastinatorThe Nominees: Lee | Elliot | Choobs | Ninety Last year's "winner": Lee And the "winner" is… Lee!
Kingdoms have fallen in the time it's taken Lee to post. Not even kidding, here. Worst Role ModelThe Nominees: Drunkhatu | Lee | Pohatu | Rupert | Inebrielliot Last year's "winner": Drunkhatu And the "winner" is… A tie between Drunkhatu and Inebrielliot! I guess what we're trying to say is alcohol is bad? fuck that let's get sleazy. THE NOBELSaka these didn't fit anywhere else Random Just-For-The-Hell-Of-Nominating AwardThe Nominees: Kara | Asmo Last year's winner: Niji And the winner is… Kara!
yay Lifetime Achievement AwardThe Nominees: Biscuit | Ninety Last year's winner: DL And the winner is… Ninety!
Truly, I am honored. Even if I did only manage to beat Biscuit by one vote. A W is a W.
And now for the experts' final scores: BloodWolf: 7 Pohatu: 9 Biscuit: 4 SV: 8 El: 0 That's right. Pohatu won even though he skipped an entire category. I'll leave it to you to decide whether that means he's really good or everyone else is really terrible. I should probably note that I didn't put predictions in for Blood in some spots because he forgot to do those spots. And El just forgot altogether. Bad form. Ok, everybody! That's a wrap! I'd like to thank everyone that made this event possible and I extend my congratulations to all the winners. Feel free to discuss the results in this thread. Keep up the good work everyone and see you next year!

Fuck yeah Marshall-Yoon flashback.
Wow, no offense to Biscuit, but I'm actually kinda surprised Horrortacular beat Muddy Season. I wasn't aware enough people had read it to push it through to victory. And yet on the other hand, I'm equally surprised Cesare & Nico made Best Antagonist based on Muddy Season. I mean that story definitely helped give the G-Bros some proper bad guy cred, but I was sure Kalim & Nugget would take it!
Why did everyone support Bicé/Flynn and then vote for Huckabee/Rance. You hypocrites. I will show you. Bicé and Flynn's love will redecorate the very heavens and put the piddly homoerotic tension between those two-bit grunts to shame.
HE HE HE Yoon doesn't have a history, I fooled you guys.
If I could get serious for a moment, Most Underworked RPer doesn't mean what everyone seems to think it means. It doesn't recognize someone who's in a lot of RPs but slacks off and doesn't post in any of them. It recognizes someone who's in only a very few RPs and who we'd really like to see branch out into new territory. Lee, for example, is someone who everyone wants to see post in the RP more often, but to call him "underworked" misses the point of the award -- if anything, he's overworked, with way too many RP commitments, and that's why he posts in any one of them so rarely. Maybe I only noticed this in the first place because I hate "everyone" nominees and the way people gravitate toward them without any thought, but not everyone here is "underworked", and among the nominees, Lee, Choobs, Bulbs, and (I would argue) Loogs and Biscuit definitely aren't.
WORR BEST ARTIST?? Okay never mind the nitpicking, I'm happy!
Thanks for running it, Ninety! Your hard work is totes preeshed.

I'm equally surprised that Horrortacular even hit on anyone's radar. That was a colossal failure on all fronts.
That said, I'm honored for all the 'cheevements, and I'm gonna take my trophies and go home.

I'm equally surprised that Horrortacular even hit on anyone's radar. That was a colossal failure on all fronts. It was a colossal failure on one front. The front that involved your computer crashing or blowing up or whatever happened. On all other fronts, "failure" is not the first word that comes to mind.

Woohoo! Some of the stuff I voted for won. Nice.
And dangit, Ninety, your commentary on everything is so much fun to read. XD
Also, I am getting highly bummed that I have no clue how I could get into Househeld aside from being a reader-observer. ^__^;

The sheer number of things OT won fills me with a warm fuzzy feeling, like swallowing a boiled kitten.
Guess I should go post in it!

Congrats to all winners and thanks for the victories I've gotten. ^^
And yeah... I need to Post In The RP, myself. I have a Househeld update going that is being slowly arted (I'm going through a major crisis right now that has left me rather drained of everything, so it would probably take a while) and Re is waiting for certain people to awaken.
I wonder if I should start branching out.

Just for that, I'm going to move your topics into other boards after every post you make, then I'll advertise them.
