[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 2911441, member: 29398"] I've seen mention here and there on other threads about such things, so I'm wondering how many of you have awards nights now and then for things like play-of-the-year, most-valuable-character, and so on. We do. Each December, players in our gaming group - 3 games with lots of overlap of players - nominate characters for the various awards (see below). Then, there's a secret vote to determine a winner, and on New Years' Eve or New Years' Day the awards - printed certificates, sometimes accompanied by a little trophy - are given out amidst much beer. The awards are: [U]Most Valuable Character [/U] - character most valuable to its party or to the game as a whole [U]Most Valuable Player [/U] - player without whom the game(s) would be that much less. Has in the past been won by a cat, and a tea kettle. [U]Play of the Year [/U] - obvious [U]Rookie of the Year[/U] - selected from among characters introduced that year [U]Most Entertaining Character[/U] - for the character that just makes you want to keep coming back, to see what they do next [U]Most Humourous Incident[/U] - obvious, and usually loads of nominations [U]Futility Award[/U] - for the most futile in-game endeavour of the year, always a ton o' worthy nominations here [U]Iron Man[/U] - non-voted, for the currently-longest-surviving character Sometimes, a nomination for a non-listed award crops up, usually Most Dangerous Character for someone who's somehow hosed their own party. So what if anything do you all do for awards? Lanefan [/QUOTE]
