Ten Years of JvS Award Caregories

Been quite some time since I roamed these boards, but anyone who knows me, is aware that I have been around JvS for quite some time now. I've seen quite a few of these awards ceremonies and have even been a part of several of them as well (whether it be a nominee, award winner or presenter). However, before I allow myself to reminisce about the chaotic days of old, let me go ahead and throw together what I started this reply for to begin with.

(Writer's Choice) Light Side Character Awarded to the character deemed to have best displayed and embodied the virtues of the Light Side of the Force as voted on by their peers (other writers).

(Staff Choice) Light Side Character Awarded to the character deemed to have best displayed and embodied the virtues of the Light Side of the Force as voted on by the Sithies/Awards Staff (Admins/Judges).

Most Improved Awarded to the writer(s) deemed to have shown the greatest improved in writing and role-play ability throughout the entirety of the judging period.

Most Helpful Awarded to the writer(s) that displayed the greatest initiative to help other writers to improved their writing ability and JvS experience.

Funniest Post Awarded for the funniest overall post/series of posts written during the judging period.

Emotional Post Awarded for the post deemed to be the most emotional and gripping written during the judging period (can be happy/sad/intense/suspenseful/etc)

These are just a handful of potential award categories for the Sithies/Awards, but it should be more than enough to get started with.
If I come up with more in the future, I'll be sure to add them to this forum, but for now, the above listed is what I have. I tried to keep them simple and to the point where multiple characters/writers had the potential of being nominated for any of the categories. Finally, if there are any questions and/or concerns about what I have written, please do not hesitate to point things out or ask.

Other suggestions

Throw back awards:

Most outrageous displays of god-modding in 1.0 (Must provide examples.)

Best Longest surviving RP character 1.0 to now.. (Must have another player vouch for the existence of your 1.0 Character.)



Razzie awards

Worst Sith
Worst Jedi
Most annoying character (NOT RPER)
Most boring character
Most Unoriginal character
Most hilarious death
Most deaths recorded in GBA
Most deaths by a single RPer (Multiple characters, same RPer must be PC kills or plot kills, no self killing, to be considered it should be four or more PC in uni and based on the merits of the deaths I.E the dumber the deaths the better.)



I also think most improved should cover all era's of JvS including 1.0..But I'm biased as I would most likely be one of those nominated.

Just so you all know, this project is meant to be for a bit of fun, and YOU guys are all going to be the ones judging this. And I will be the one doing all the behind the scenes stuff for this beyond that.

As for the idea that each era gets its own set of awards, that wouldn't exactly be too viable. There is only a small handful of people left from 1.0, the same goes for people from 1.5. Keeping it set as open to all Era's keeps it nice and simple and, most importantly, easy for everyone involved.
Plus, with only a month and a half to go, there is really not a lot of time left to organise something that large and organised.


On a side note: KEEP THE SUGGESTIONS COMING PLESE!!!

I will refer you back to my previous post where I addressed this. Separating it by Era is just not viable. There is maybe a handful of people still around from 1.0, and a vast majority of writers from 1.5 are still around and make up most of 2.0. Leaving it open for all Era's will be the best solution.
