Chaos Annual Award Event/Symposium/Jamboree

So, most of you all know that I was a transfer from another site that shall not be named (or maybe you dont? well now you do). There was a lot of things we did wrong but one thing I think we did right was this concept of an annual award event (at least I enjoyed it). So every year, around September, the general populace is given the opportunity to nominate an individual (or group of people) for a certain category. Maybe it's best Sith, best Jedi, best Dark Jedi. Maybe the category is best romance/couple, maybe it's something like best/most epic role play. The sky is really the limit so I wont go on. So, after about two weeks, a poll thread for each category is completed and say the top 5 nominated individuals are selected for contention of said award. Over the course of a selected time frame, said nominated individual (or group) can send in up to a certain number of posts for the staff to judge, for that specific award. Once all the awards are discerned, we have a massive jamboree, which is largely OOC for the purpose of just having fun, and have a large ceremony for the purposes of presenting the award. Each person who wins gets some sort of tag or something cool like "Best Romance 2015."

Now, I'll start the suggestion with some criticisms.

  • Well, it's going to be biased. Popular people are gonna be nominated. Maybe that's true, maybe it's not. I think everyone on the site has the capacity to look beyond likes and post numbers to discern really good quality stuff. Either way, the staff are more than capable of looking past popularity to discern quality of the writing.
  • Fresher stuff is more likely to be nominated. Especially in the case of a category like Best Invasion (could that work here, I dunno). I'm not convinced this is the case, as I don't think the site as a whole is so myopic to look past really epic writing. But, if it happens, it reflects the quality of the writers involved and not necessarily the event, which I think is still an adequate means of discerning whether someone (or a group of people) are worthy of award.
  • It's time consuming for the staff and an extra responsibility. I have no defense for this, so...yeah.
Overall, I think there is a lot of positive things that can come from this. Especially if the staff decide to take the time to recognize those not nominated but decidedly deserving (the limelight doesn't always construe the best writing). Some people just tend to keep their heads down and away from factions but that doesn't mean they aren't worth recognition. And I think this could be modified or converted to suit that need as well. Either way, just an idea. Feel free to tear holes in it. Also, feel free to tell me I posted this in the wrong spot (this isn't just for staff to talk about, I think the site as a whole should discuss it).

But honestly.

[member="Kian Karr"] for Defender of the Jedi award. The times I have RP'd with him he was a true Jedi and stuck to his character's ideals even when faced with Hauntruss' warped words. Great character, Great RPer

[member="Vrag"] for Dominion Lord, the number of dominions, invasions, threads and major faction events that this Sith has be a real contributor to boggles the mind.

We did something like this where myself, [member="Ashin Varanin"], [member="Asemir Lor'kora"] and [member="Sasha Santhe"] came from - I cannot say we didn't experience hiccups from it but it also didn't get off the ground as we anticipated it would.

It's a great concept if worked properly and with the understanding that it's for positive reinforcement and nothing to say one person is better than another.

I would like to see something like this happen here as I can see awards for "Most Awkward Relationship" being awarded to [member="Cira"] and [member="Sarge Potteiger"] even though it's not really a relationship? Something like that. You could have different categories beyond relationships and even yearly awards.

Best Female Whatever (2015)
Best Male Whatever (2015)
Most Creative Combat Scene (Which could involve multiple individuals)

Things like that.

I think if approached correctly, it would be a great enhancement.

EDIT - I'd be glad to assist with organizing categories if this becomes something. They would encompass a wide variety of topics to which Staff can sort out and choose what they desire to eliminate excessiveness. [member="Reverance"] - awesome idea. :)
