Proposal: a Babbage version of "The Oscars"

[Mr. Tenk]

Every year people tie themselves into knots to entertain each other, and i think that needs recognizing. How about an "oscar" style award, and we'll call it, hmmmmm... the Babbies? at least until someone comes up with a better name.

Here are some categories i came up with off the top of my head:

Best machinima
Best Hero (male & female)
Best Villian (male & female)
Best Sidekick (supporting role : hero, but i honestly can't think of anyone)
Best Lacky (supporting role : villian, probably have enough to go male & female)
Best major story (city-wide roleplay)
Best minor story (the little ones we tell to each other in twos and threes and blogs)
Best build in support of a roleplay
Best new avatar (male, female, and group) - because some folks just are.

others?

The heros, villians, sidekicks, and lackeys would have to be nominated with reference to the story they were in.

What say you?

I like that idea Tenk. It'd be great to see who wins what and for what category. I can think of one other category that should probably go in there, Best Urchin.

The WCPGW Award goes to the the resident who experienced the most astoundingly entertaining mishap, be it a build implosion, vehicle crash, or whatnot.

Now there's something we can all get behind (preferably wearing protective clothing) ;)

[Mr. Tenk]

i could definatly get behind some jokier award nominations, and that should have less drama factor.

The Golden Gears?

[Ceejay Writer]

We already have those, given out yesterday to Miss Breezy Carver and Miss Viv Trafalgar at the city hall dedication! :D

[Sheryl Skytower]

ah, see... I knew I'd heard it somewhere!

uh... did they get two of them?

[Grendel Footman]

sounds pretty cool to me.
there should be a technical categorie for special effects. exploding clanks, cloud angels, sharks with lazers on their heads, the stuff that goes boom for effect.

[Doctor Obolensky]

Bah! Bah, I say! Who needs rewards other than the joy of entertaining yourself and others?

[Elfod Nemeth]

Sounds like a great idea :)

A special effects award would be good too, I agree with Grendel.

[Elina Koskinen]

Awards for everyone I say!

[Sheryl Skytower]

I think there should be one for best cake-eating, cookie-nibbling, munchie-stealing clockwork dragon.

*snorgles*

with an edible award, of course!
