[QUOTE="fba827, post: 1003598, member: 807"] Hmm - I don't know how much this will really help you. But of the options you've given, I actually prefer First Place and Second Place for the exact same reason spacecrime.com chose the other option. To me, the word winner has the whole winner/loser pairing associated with it. First and Second Place don't have a "loser" opposite to them. They are just place rankings (which is how the voting is done). Just my opinion anyway. (quick side story : When I read the thread title, my mind immediately though, I want a d20 award to say "Critical Hit" :) but then there wouldn't be a sister-ranking for the runner-up (other than "Fumble" ;) ) so it wouldn't work ... plus I believe there is a d20 publisher or magazine (or something) of that same name (?)... heh.. just what my mind was thinking when I read the title :) - we now return you to your regularly scheduled thread already in progress) Edit: I did check the thesaurus for similar meaning words (looking up "winner" and "prize" and such) .. but couldn't come up with anything that jumped out at me... Edit2: Gold / silver could work if you decide to go that route. Heck, Gold is one of the default colors here (or should I say colours ? :D ) [/QUOTE]
