LH End of the Year Awards
Currently a work in progress, but you can go ahead and think of people to nominate as we edit this.
Welcome to the Log Horizon RP's First Annual End of the Year awards. As we've been up for almost a year now, we've seen lots of people come and go, lots of fun experiences happen. It's time for you to think and give a shout out to everything and everyone that's meant something to you on the site.
We'll open up with a round of nominations where you can nominate anyone for a category (yes, even yourself but be modest here). You may either nominate in this thread or you can send me a PM if you want your entries to be private. After about a week of nominations, we'll have a week of voting. Nominating the same people that someone else nominated probably won't really do anything, it's the votes that count. This will likely be done on a third-party survey site (as the last time I did something like this, it took a few hours to count up everything). Once voting is over, it should take us a little time to get the votes in and announce the results.
Okay, for you guys who have a 'what's in it for me' personality, we'll offer an exclusive item prize for whoever sends in at least 10 (unique) nominations and whoever votes in the end. If you win... good job! We have too many categories and some of them too specialized to really award things for winning though. With that said, let's announce the categories!
Submit nominations to this thread by December 20th.
Voting will take place between December 21th and December 31th.
I'd also like to plug in Sugary's Christmas Card event that you can do alongside this one! Spend the season spreading cheer ~
Member Awards
1. Member of the Year: (For that one person on the site we owe our thanks to. Please don't nominate a mod for this, we actually have the next category just for that.)
2. Mod of the Year: (Obviously the site couldn't have survived without dedicated mods to help it go along. I'd say we all deserve the privilege but if I leave out this category, I feel people would nominate a bunch of us for Member instead.)
3. Funniest Member: (Nominate that one person that makes you laugh. Or chuckle. Or that you find somewhat amusing but you just feel bad for them. Whatever.)
4. Chatbox Savior: (For that one person whose arrival causes the chat to liven up.)
5. Chatbox Murderer: (For that one awkward person who is unlucky enough to drop in at the wrong time.)
6. Site Mentor: (Someone that's level-headed and can really teach you a lot of things about life.)
7. Bad Role Model: (Follow what I say, not what I do? Sometimes not even what I say.)

14. Typo King: (We're nto suer if the y're donging it on propose.)

23. Most Creative Roleplayer: (You have no idea how they come up with half the ideas for their threads, but it's always very interesting.)
24. Best RP Subforum: (A battle between the areas in the RP. Will the winner be the classic Londinium? The Windsor Greatwood where many have taken their first step? Or will a newcomer like Sarum or Avon take the title?)
25. Social Butterfly: (How many threads can they juggle and still manage to stay active in all of them?)
26. Best Character Personality: (A well-written character you can relate to even if their history is completely different from yours.)
27. Most Unrealistic Character: (Chances are if this were real life, this person is crazy enough that they're either a really popular person... or they're probably in jail somewhere.)
