I wonder if Giguere's behavior really counts as a twist. I mean, I foreshadowed the poop out of his draconic nature, between LTR and the earlier posts. Then again... It WAS sort of a Wham Episode for Emet. If it hasn't been nothing BUT Wham Episodes thusfar. I'll second Floliferous and One What Do You See? for best singular post. I'll also second Obscured Truth for best recent RP. Obscured Truth might also take Best Cast if we're counting January material, since I've got my own entries on their way, and Photu/Elliot have been hitting it full force. I wish somebody else would mention my Helen post in LADC.

*smacks forehead* This too. But seriously, you don't have to be shy about nominating your own stuff. I mean, speaking from way over on the other end of the scale. Also, surely aren't some plot twists better for having been foreshadowed? It doesn't have to be "Most Unexpected".

I'm trying to avoid nominating too much of my own stuff, or that of yours. I guess I feel that, as one of the more avid followers of RP, it's my duty to call people's attention to the lesser known gems. So I've been trying to point out the great newbies (Blackcat, Tangrow) and the people who have REALLY stepped it up this year (Elliot, DL, Choobeh)
Liking Pohatu's stuff is like liking pizza. Even the worst of it is still good, the chef is always ready to dish out another serving of epic, and everybody loves it. Liking Lee's stuff is like enjoying marshmallow peeps. A seasonal treat that everybody (also) enjoys, but is far too fleeting and gone too soon, interupted by long periods of waiting.
Meanwhile, the exquisite cup of Joe with a side of Biscuits runs the risk of going ignored.
Also, if Giguere wins best Plot Twist, that'll be two years running of "Seated rich guy with mustache flabbergasts Terrian while Nopcsa stands by, snickering."
I'm such an expert, I'm predicting "Tanner reveals himself to Terrian in Ishkabibble" as the best plot twist for 2011.

Reveals himself?
Oh dear.
Also, I think you just ruined my chances of winning anything this year. Now I look like the evil tyrant who has to be toppled!

woooo i'm an underdog. also pohatu is such a dear for making things convenient for me like linking and asterisking.
I'll get my noms up sometime tomorrow probably, after my exam.
also also, people don't be afraid to toot your own horn. I'm going to be nominating only my stuff probably because everyone is trash.

Best Overall RP – Can I vote all the Ishkabibbles here? Best Short RP – And again? Ishkabibble collectively qualifies as a long-form RP, as do Radiance and Househeld. So you can nominate any of them for Best Overall RP, yeah, but not Short RP unless you wanted to nominate every scene individually which would be crazy! Also, Most House Spirit is about a member, not a house. Otherwise everyone would just vote for their own house. Not that it probably matters since I'm guessing that award will drop off the map this year.

I was mostly being sarcastic with the Most House Spirit, because I can't see it being a proper award this time.
And for Short RP, can I specify a certain Ish instead? Otherwise, I don't really have a nom for Short RP.

"Most Annoying Member" seems like a very aggressive award... why not just rename it "Angriest Member"?
I'd probably feel like I was being downright attacked by the person nominating me for that hahaha, but maybe that's just me.

Most Missed RP Post - By "missed" i mean a gigantic ass post of epic proportions that seemed to flutter by with not a single batted eyelash from everyone else, much to the chagrin of the author. "Most Overlooked" would make more sense than "Most Missed", then, which sounds like an RP post that got deleted much to the sorrow of all. But why a post? Are there particular posts you have in mind? And anyway there aren't a lot of venues for expressing appreciation for particular posts. The shoutbox maybe, but not often, and OOC replies possibly, but even that's not too common. Do we need to start an RP Post Appreciation Thread? And in the meantime, wouldn't Most Overlooked RP altogether make more sense? P.S. POHATU FOR BEST CAST '10

Most overlooked RP makes sense, too. Now that I think about it more, there's a significant amount of overlap between Most Overlooked Post and the category of Best RP post. But if you want to know, I was thinking of Hari shows us that eating dick is sometimes ok if everyone is staring at you which got to show up as a General board RP that was closed to the public, wasn't not canon, and flitted by relatively quickly. Most Overlooked Detail might work as a category, though. This would be something that other RPers may not have grasped upon, or maybe the opposite award would be better. Most Serendipitous Detail or something.

"Most Overlooked Detail" is cool but if I point out the overlooked detail in Obscured Truth, half the plot gets given away.
|
|
|
Post by ch00beh on Jan 3, 2011 17:58:35 GMT -5
That is why it should be serendipitous instead. I can't remember any good ones at the moment outside the Digital Aesthetics RPs I ran, but I know they exist. It is the magical part of RP.

Post by Beelzebibble on Jan 3, 2011 18:03:46 GMT -5
This is sounding more like "Best Subtle Detail" by the minute. Why not just make it that?
|
|

Post by ch00beh on Jan 3, 2011 18:05:06 GMT -5
it is like you know how to put together these WORDS and PHRASES
I'm removing Most Missed Post and inserting Best Subtle Detail.
