RPG Oscars Nominations: COME HERE TO NOMINATE!

[goofoofighter]

First I would like to thank Talierin for helping me organize the nominations.

You may nominate any RPG for any catagory that you feel fit, but only RPGs nominated twice will be considered, unless there are insufficient numbers of backed nominations. There will be five final RPG nominees for each catagory, each final RPG nominee will be checked to make sure that it is listed under the appropriate catagory.

There are no limits for numbers of posts to be eligible, nor how many RPGs one has participated in, there are some that are quite new but may be very talented at RPing.

AND THE CATAGORIES ARE:
1) Best Special Effects
2) Best Female in a Supporting Role
3) Best Male in a Supporting Role
4) Best Female in a Leading Role
5) Best Male in a Leading Role
6) Best Serious RPG
7) Best Lighthearted RPG
8) Best Plot Twist
9) Best Comic Relief
10) Best 'On-Screen' Team

LET THE NOMINAIONS BEGIN! :)

[Snaga]

Good work Goofoo...

Can I ask what you mean by 'Best On-Screen Team'?

[chrysophalax]

When you say best Male and Female are you referring to the writer or the character?

[goofoofighter]

Thanks Snaga.
By 'Best On-Screen Team' I mean for those RPGs that don't really have a main character. Some RPGs have a team rather than a hero.

And by best Male and Female I am referring to the character.

[Snaga]

Next time we will have to also have Best Narration, and Best Locations

(he says in a thinly-veiled attempt to increase his own meagre chances of winning something!;) )

[goofoofighter]

*lol* It might be considered.

[YayGollum]

I would like to nominate Redemption for #6, The Quest for #10, and I can only think of one person for #9, but I don't think I'm allowed to nominate myself. :rolleyes:

[Elbereth]

Could someone please list the name of all the eligible RPG's that can be nominated. We should find a distinction here, especially since we have already handed out oscars for earlier rpg's.

thank you! :D

[Khamul]

I nominate rpg 35.

[Lorien]

Yes, go RP#35 for category 6!! And I also nominate RP#35 for category 10.

[Snaga]

OK here is a list of threads that might be eligible. There may be others that people would like to consider, for example in the Government Councils forum, or in the Prancing Pony??

I basically included any that were active in the last 3 months, with the exception of those that haven't/didnt get going.

[HLGStrider]

I started the Cat Riders RPG and I think it shouldn't get anything. It was meant as a lighthearted deversion...

However, I also started the Mirror, and I think that had a few redeaming qualities... such as the fight with the evil mother in laws.

1) Best Special Effects
Tarien, the all directional panda needs some mention here... Tarien is the panda person right?
2) Best Female in a Supporting Role
Oohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Hard... Evereve, perhaps... GOLDIE!!!

3) Best Male in a Supporting Role

4) Best Female in a Leading Role
As much as I'd like to nominate me (I'm not sure what for but no one else is going to... Elbereth for Wizdom's Inn.
5) Best Male in a Leading Role
I'd like to say UngattTrun for his exemplary work in the Mithril stone.
6) Best Serious RPG
Mithril Stone
7) Best Lighthearted RPG
Quest for the Mirror
8) Best Plot Twist
When everyone disappeared in the Mithril Stone
9) Best Comic Relief
The evil mother in laws in the Mirror... or did you mean a character? In that case Goldie for various reasons.
10) Best 'On-Screen' Team
Goldie and Myself.

[¤-Elessar-¤]

Is it alright If I use an RPG that was not considered for any awards last time, It had just finished when the Awards were taking place, and I don't think anyone participating in the awards nominated it. The RP was RP22, the one that spawned from the Rivendale RP, it was something about the gates of the sun closing, and the Blue Wizards being responsible for it. In it both of the Blue Wizards were destroyed, and it had a wonderful plot and much great magic.

[HLGStrider]

If it involved a frying pan it was me.

[Kyrè]

It involved a frying pan, eggs, and sausage... hmm I haven't had breakfast yet... (LOL)

[HLGStrider]

Maybe it was Goldie... We hang out together from time to time, and we use a lot of similar gags.

I am going to beat you into a pulp Turgon, just wait...................

[Khamul]

Maybe you should remind people in your signature that you are guy, so this doesnt happen again. It must not come across too well.

[Ecthelion]

No I don't see how I could be a girl anyway. What girl in any forum or who has read LOTR would choose to be a FEMAIL DWARF when she could be anything else? I think people who think can find out I'm a guy.

[chrysophalax]

You'd have to go through Artos and Magnus first Nain! Turgon's smart! He makes powerful friends!

[Ecthelion]

*Nain pushes a button and a big hammer comes out behind Turgon, squshing him to a bloody pulp. Then he runs away laughing to where no one can find him*:D :p :D :p ;) :D :p ;)

[chrysophalax]

Nain? Are you even on the same planet?

[Ecthelion]

No probably not.................

[Lorien]

Chrys don't waste time fighting with Nain.
Look Nain, why can't someone play a Female Dwarf? And Turgon nominated you....so he obviously thought you were a good RP'er, granted he made a small mistake *snicker*.
Whatever it is you could've been a bit nicer about the whole affair, no need to get all riled up. I pray for your sake that a feminist doesn't see your deregatory post about Female dwarves or you'll be in hot water.:D You do come across as pretty chauvanistic back there.
In anycase this thread is for nominating people for RP'ing and not for fighting over small mistakes.
So in a nice summary...
KNOCK IT OFF PEOPLE. STOP FIGHTING!

[Ecthelion]

Thanks for all the great motivation there Lorien, I feel so much better. Not really but it feels good to say it anyway.

[Kyrè]

You're lucky I ain't a feminist. Girls rock. (Sorry for that cliche, but what the heh....)

[Ecthelion]

I'm not saying anything's wrong with females, but how many would CHOOSE out of their own will to be a female dwarf?

[HLGStrider]

I think Nain has a point. I mean, female dwarves have been suspected of having beards... I don't think we'll run into too many. Besides they aren't very important in the story.

I am definately anti-feminist... though I am a girl. I mean, the whole movement is sort of petty.

[Khamul]

Female Dwarfs Do have beards.

[HLGStrider]

That settles it. No well informed girl is going to want to be a dwarf... unless she has a weird obsession with Facial Hair....

[goofoofighter]

I want to nominate my RPG for some stuff, but I'm afraid to cuz, well, they're mine, and cuz I haven't read any of the other RPGs. I haven't really had time...
But if they're allowed, I want to nominate Glory and WarriorMay for best Team for their work in RPG 13. I don't know if they want to include me in it because I made the RPG, but I have a character in the team and the three of us are all that's left.

[goofoofighter]

Btw, thank you Snaga! Thankyouthankyouthankyou THANK YOU for posting them along with what RPG for.
'Tis appreciated.

[Snaga]

No problem!:)

BTW - how long does voting last for?

[goofoofighter]

Well, the polls were set to close a week after opening, so the current countdown is one day.
Yes, they close tomorrow - Wednesday. Ech, I though I should have made them two weeks, but oh well. *shrugs*

[Goldberry344]

i was late, garh. i'd've nominated Arathin for the meanest person that ever talked to me. heheheh.

[Anamatar IV]

can we please start this again? For best lighthearted rp id like to nominate the rp called Misty Hollow. keep in mind that the first [big amount] of pages were compiled of two people.

[Nenya Evenstar]

I would like to second Anamatar's nomination of Misty Hollow. It was truely a good RP!

[Azog]

Is there a "Best RP approach" or "Best RP Plot" or "Best RP intro"?

[Anamatar IV]

Misty Hollow would fall under #7 and maybe #1. That ending had lots of them!

[Azog]

Thanx Anamatar. I think they should add my suggestions though.

[Khamul]

Speak to Cir about it.

[Azog]

I believe I will....

[Princess Vi]

ok, i haven't read the whole thread, but I'm gonna go ahead and nominate some things/ppl for the Oscars, and TEHN go check and see if anything that I've had something to do with has been nominated :p my nominations:

*7 The Revenge
*8 Forever Fallen
*9 I forget it's name, but it's the one in which I posted "the gull dropped a greeting card on Frodo's head and flew off singing Cleanin' Out My Closet"
*10 The Revenge team of Characters. and I'm not just sayin' that cuz I'm in it, but because everyone else in it is awesome. you guys rock!

I nominated Goldberry for her work in the Quest for the Mirror.

just so you know, I am sometimes called Goldie because of my last name. Thank you fo specifying which one you meant, cuz at first I thought you were nominating me, and you had never seen me RPGing(as far as I know, anyways), so it suprised me a bit

oh pooh, I haven't been nominated :( course, it might have something to do with the fact that I keep acting like a major smart-ass to some ppl........sorry bout that! really!

***Edited by Tal***Don't post three times in a row again, thanks***

[YayGollum]

What's going on in here? Is it time for the RPG Oscars again already? Shouldn't we wait for a while? Aren't the RPGs going pretty slow nowadays? Not many of the serious ones have gotten very far since the last time. I haven't been watching the lighthearted ones lately. oh well. I doubt that many would believe me unless the goofoofighter person told lots of people, but I'm supposed to be in charge of the next RPG Oscars. Maybe I'm just crazy, but wouldn't it be more fun with more people around?

[Princess Vi]

yeah, yuo're crazy, but as I'm crazy too, I think you're right. it would be fun with more people.

crazy ppl rock! :D

[HLGStrider]

Goldie is Goldberry and will always be Goldberry.. If you travel in my circles you will find out many weird things like that... also, I listed the part after the name, so I don't see how it could be that confusing.

I once got mixed up with an LG (lady galadriel) cause I am HLG or Elgee... but that was about it. Don't sweat it, vi.

[Tar-Ancalime]

not to play favorites but...

2) Tar-Ancalime as Nefaria in "Forbidden"
3) Ciryaher as Nole in "Forbidden"
4) Snaga1 as Terendul in "Forbidden"
5) Narya as Nuredhel in "Forbidden"

[Narya]

Why thank you Tar! Thanks for nominating me and the other cast members from Forbidden.:D

[Tar-Ancalime]

no prob...
