Seconded.
I also second Prime vs. Nopcsa for Best Fight, and I'd second Vermillion Vanguard for Best Cast, but I think Loogs should just push for Radiance as a whole in that category (it's already got a secured nomination). I'm just sticking to the RP Awards for now, but I'll do Character tomorrow.
I've got to say, the business of seconding nominations is really interesting. Adds a whole additional layer to the process, since we now have to think critically about each other's choices as well as our own. I urge people to read the OP and second anything there in italics they think is worth seconding (unless they were the first one to mention it).

I like the seconding thing, too, but i'm not sure how I feel about them pulling through every other unseconded thing because it's kind of causing bloat. I may or may not remove that clause, then just give my second to everything that's already listed just so people don't have to scramble to figure out what needs to be elected.
The other option is to limit nominations to the top five, but that's another layer of voting.

But some awards definitely need people to look at them and consider seconding something. Right now Ishkabibble is due to win Best Overall RP by default, for instance.
I can see which awards you're looking at re: bloat. Maybe you could limit the overall number of seconded nominees in an award to seven. Then you wouldn't have to shut out any nominees that are already through, but things also won't get any worse in a given award than they already are.
Though in that case, Loogs should definitely revoke the Vermillion Vanguard nomination for Best Cast and just promote Radiance's nomination there, since that's equivalent to nominating both Ishkabibble and, say, Ishkanine for the same award.

Actually, Best Overall RP hasn't even been confirmed! There's a clause which specifically states at least two nominations must be confirmed before the category is official. Asterisks indicate categories that have gotten the requisite two nominations, therefore they become official. Right now, though, my rules state that any unseconded nomination will automatically be included in these official awards, and that is what's causing the bloat and the rule that I am iffy on.

Post by Beelzebibble on Jan 4, 2011 0:38:50 GMT -5
So wait, let me get this straight: as long as an award has two seconded nominations, any other unseconded nominations also get a free pass?
That's... Huh. I mean, that does allow a lot of fat.

Post by ch00beh on Jan 4, 2011 0:42:30 GMT -5
yeah. like i said, thinking about removing that clause. It really reduces numbers in certain other categories, though.

Post by Tout-Perd on Jan 4, 2011 0:45:10 GMT -5
Also, I say only include seconded nominations. If an award only has one fully seconded nomination, put it into a pile of "Honorary Awards" which you can just list off without fanfare at the start of the awards topic.
So if nobody seconded anything else for Best Overall RP, Ishkabibble would win "Honorary Best Overall RP" or something like that, but wouldn't get the fanfare of a proper award.

I feel like that's better. A little harsher, but better.

Yeah, I guess I'll change my nom from Vanguard to Radiance then.

I'm avoiding redundancy, so there are a few nominations I was going to add before they already got seconded (such as Julia for Best Overall and Helen for Best Powerset). Character Awards Best Recent Character: Channery, Avery, Algernon Breck, *Reba*, *Mayordomo* Best Overall Character: Nopcsa, Blaise, *Renard*, *Huckabee*, *Yoshimitsu* Best Personality: *Yoon*, Jonas, Dace, Channery, *Julia*, *Illiana*, *Felix* Best History: Jonas, Huckabee Best Powerset: Antonio, Alyssa, Avery, Azshara (I would so go for the 4x combo if she existed yet) Best Protagonist: *Illiana*, *Renard*, Natalie, *Flynn*, Terrian Best Antagonist: Cesare, Lucas, Mandelbrot, *Giguere* Best Comic Character: Terrian, Rhometer, Renard, Lucas, THE CURATOR Best Dramatic Character: Yoon, Thyra, Julia, Huckabee, Rance, *Antonio* Best Debut: Waylon, Maydell, Esther, Mayordomo, RebaBest Development: Channery, Williams, *Illiana*, Yoon Best Relationship: Renard & Yoon, Nopcsa & Prime, Renard & Channery, Julia & Felix, Yoon & Mayordomo, *Lucas & Scar* Most Creative Character: Esther, *Helen*, *Renard* Most Underworked Character: Azshara, Oxley (because I really want them to exist!) Also, should Kuro really be in the running for the Lifetime Achievement Award again? I feel like the Nobels aren't awards you should win more than once.

Well if you are that good (or if everyone else is that bad) then I don't see a problem with winning multiple times.
It just means everyone else has to step up their game!!!!!
ps. I'm going to go organize all these unseconded votes now that i'm done with exams and asterisk the ones that have gone through. There are painfully few!
EDIT: what about adding Most Anticipated Character to the mix?

Most Impatient Member – N/A Worst Role Model – Me. Don’t join the military. Srsly.

THE OSCARS aka post in the rp. This has been a pretty heavy RP year, so Pohatu made a gigantic-ass list of new awards which I'm just going to copy and paste instead of rewriting everything he said. Please link to relevant posts/topics when nominating -start pohatuSez- RP Awards Best Recent RP – I only really participated in Ishkabibble. And while I really don’t like the title, it draws from the largest pool of talent we have. Best Overall RP – The Crystal part 2. I loved the sandbox feel it had. Best Short RP – N/A. I don’t post enough to judge this and I typically only read ones I’m involved with. (Keeps me neutral with my actions towards characters my characters don’t know.) Best Long RP – Ish again. Though I can hardly say it’s ongoing since it’s been at a standstill for the last 34 months. Best RP Post –Dunno. Best Premise – LADC. It led to some spinoffs too. Best Plot – Dunno. Best RP Cast – LADC. Lotta heavy-hitters there. Best Atmosphere – Crystal part 2 Best Fight – LADC: Everyone vs Vincent. Best Plot Twist – Mandelbrot being (accidentally?) revealed as a woman. Most Creative RP – I actually read Head Games. I liked the concept even if I barely know the characters. Best Subtle Detail – N/A. I must have missed it. Character Awards Best Recent Character – I like that witch that one person made. Sem? Yeah, that witch and her familiar. Best Overall Character – Sly. I really dig the depth of the backstory. Best Personality – Lucas. Hey, it didn’t say who had the nicest one. Best History – Sly’s won before, so I won’t use him. I’ll roll with Ender on this one. Best Powerset – N/A. Everyone has their niche. Best Protagonist – N/A Best Antagonist – We need more villains. Real villains. Best Comic Character – Terrian. He seems to have the most silly interactions. Best Dramatic Character – Fuck, I can’t remember the name. Julia I think. The doctor with the hypnosis. Best Debut – The witch character from my Recent Character vote. Best Development – Prime. He’s been all over the place, but it’s looking like he’s finally gonna settle down. Best Relationship – Vincent/Yoshimitsu Most Creative Character – That witch again and her familiar. [SUGGESTED BY SV]Most Underworked Character – My entire cast. RPer Awards Best Recent RPer – N/A Best Overall RPer – N/A Best Host – Pohatu Best Participant – Pohatu. Isn’t his cast like 3,900 characters long? Best Characterizer – Prime. His main character may’ve been around a lot, but from my conversations with him, he puts a lot of effort and creativity into them. Best Cast – Bulbs Most Underworked RPer – There is that one guy who never posts. It’s been so long though I can’t remember his name exactly. I think it was “Lee” or something like that. Most Improved RPer – Yoshimitsu. I think he really turned his main around and stepped up his game all around. Most Creative RPer – N/A
-end pohatuSez- THE NOBELS aka these didn't fit anywhere else Random Just-for-the-Hell-of-Nominating Award – Whoever is the newest member. Lifetime Achievement Award – Everyone but me.
