Thank you to all who voted and were nominated!
Keep those votes coming! We're off to a good start, but we need more participants to make this a healthy competition!
Thank the lawd The Epic Quest isn't on "The Biggest Fail of an RP"
>_<
It hasn't shown as much fail as other RPs. I chose the ones that only had one or two pages.
Why isn't Biggest RP Joke up there? And why are me and Felldoh not up for best RPers, we were nominated.
How many people have voted so far?
@JoeofMars:
1) Not enough nominees.
2) You guys aren't up there because there were many nominees for that category, and I had to choose some at random.
@Birdie: Including you, 6. However, not everyone voted in each category. I have a few ties that I want to have broken by tomorrow night, when the voting ends. And as a note to everyone else; please keep sending in your votes!

Can we vote more then once?
Also, thats not very fair. You should of really put up everyone who got nominated for Best RPer.
So that I could have one vote for each person? Err- not likely. One the voting more than once part, if you didn't vote in each category, you can vote for it. Otherwise, no, you can't vote for the same category.
Quick question: If there is a tie, should I:
A) Leave it as is
B) Break it at random
C) Ask you guys to vote on the ones that are tied, or
D) Other
Because I have quite a few ties.

I also vote C. That's the best choice.
Definately C. :D
Ok. Tomorrow, I will send out the final voting round on those that are tied.
Last night, we had a few final second votes sent in by Dr.Hobo2. This broke some of the ties, but also led to a few more ties. So, without any further delay, here are the final nominees for the tied categories:
Best Character in an RP:
Shaelyn ~ An Inside Job
Harver ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
Best RP Character Entrance:
Boogie ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
Kai/Spike ~ The World of Super Heroes
Please PM me your votes on these categories until midnight tonight! I will then show the results some time tomorrow. Thank you for voting, and good luck to the finalists.
Great. Only a few hours left, and I still have a tie left. Worse, ONLY 3 PEOPLE HAVE VOTED. Please, people, this is your last chance to vote.
I already voted, so I can help you there. But, why don't you stop the other two votes and just post the final tie breaker to be voted on. We don't want more people to vote and just make them all ties again xD.
Final Tie left:
Best Character in an RP:
Harver ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
Shaelyn ~ An Inside Job
Hurry up, people!
I figured that'd be the one xD. It's the only one I can't vote for.
Yeah. Though three people have voted, it seems more like two, since two of the voters didn't vote for one category. It's 2-0 in the Character Entrance votes, and 1-1 in the Best Character in an RP. (No, I did not vote for myself.)
I'll vote for this final category and end the tiebreaker if no one else does in the next 5 minutes xD.
Five minutes has passed long ago, and no more votes have been sent in. It's up to you, Birdie.
I was reading that Inside Job RPG to try and see if that character is any good. Alright, I've... Made my decision? *PM's*
And the votes are in! Tune in to the IRC chat client here at 10 AM PST (11 AM MTT, 12 PM CST, 1 PM EST) for the live results! I will try my hardest to get all the results in. I might have to leave though. Depending on how many people turn out, I might just blandly reveal the results here.
Thank you all for voting!

Good luck everyone.
*This post is here to break up any triple posts etc.*
So, my chat idea didn't work so well. So I will reveal the winners of each category, here in this thread.
There are good RPs, and then there are bad RPs to make the good RPs look better. We are doing this award to honor those horrible RPs. Here are the nominees for Biggest Fail of an RP:
MTV Wars
Reality Show RP
Hotel Lucario
Blizzard RP
And the award goes to...
[spoiler]
MTV WARS! Congratulations![/spoiler]
YAAAAAAAY! ;D *claps*
Woo hoo *Claps more*
Why not reveal all at once? >_>;; * Claps, I guess *
We all know that RP characters are important, but what's more important are those first impressions that may or may not eventually kick you in the ass. Here are the nominees for Best RP Character Entrance:
Boogie ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
Jas ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
Spike ~ The World of Super Heroes
And the award goes to...
[spoiler]
Boogie, from Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets. Congratulations! Joeofmars, since you are here, you can do a speech if you want to.[/spoiler]
Congrats MTV Wars for sucking ;D
And I knew about Boogie winning that award. You know, people should get sigs for these. I might make some if people are interesting. I'm not the best but I know how to use paint and photobucket fairly well.
:( :( i'm glad i at least got nominated
Oh my god! OH MY GAWD
*Runs up to the podium.*
Is thing on?
*Taps the mic*
Ok, ok. I'd like to Birdie of Aces for making the RP. Anyone who has ever criticized my writing. FearItself for making AIJ, it was fun while it lasted. Guitar Hero for rocking so awesome. Oooh... I wasn't prepared.
*Runs off stage crying tears of joy*
Nice speech, Joe. Birdie, I do think that would be a good idea. If you find the time, I'd be greatly appreciative.
Now, back to the awards! Whether it be a romance, twins, or even arch enemies, pairings are found almost everywhere. You can't avoid the fate of putting two people together. And here are the nominees for best RP Pairing:
Tanbar and Lanbar ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
Shaelyn and Martin ~ An Inside Job
Shantae and Boogie ~ An Inside Job
Harver and Jas ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets
And the award goes to
[spoiler]
They are from Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets...
Harver and Jas, from Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets! Congratulations![/spoiler]
Speech. Speech! SPEECH!!! SPEECH!!! *foams at mouth *
...yay. :( *claps* (darn! I'll have to kill those two si I will win next year! MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!...Hey...It's echoy in my thoughts)
Congratulations, Jas and Harver :D. Though I wonder how their beginning relationship will go on with the Harver's double life...
Alright, I'll make sigs. If you want a sig for winning, post here. Just give some info on what you would like it to look like. They are going to be small, by the way, so don't expect anything fancy or amazing xD. I'll either make small sigs or userbars.

A small userbar that says ' Best RP Character Entrance. '
Umm... well, I'd like to thank ShOrTi for creating her character. Together, we could have never won the award. Umm... I'd like to thank Birdie for creating the RP. And I'd like to thank Subway, for eating fresh. Yeah. I suck at this. *walks away* ShOrTi, you can make a speech too when you read this. That is, if you want to.
Back to the awards! If you want to be a good RPer, you need to know how to create a character. Not one who is perfect; far from it, in fact. You need to know how to put in a character's flaws, strengths, and history. And these characters are the ones who did that. And here are the nominees for best RP Character.
Solon ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets (Birdie of Aces)
Harver ~ Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets (LightningSword)
Shaelyn ~ An Inside Job (FearItself)
Aeleus ~ Azula's Reign (Orgizirtee)
Matt ~ The World of Super Heroes (Dr.Hobo2)
And the award goes to....
[spoiler]
.....
Harver, from Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets! Congratulatio- oh, wait, that's me? OMG![/spoiler]
Your gonna have to make another speech.
Hm...what a "coincedence" *evil glare* (That's right, I bet Matt REALLY won and Lightningsword just tampered with the votes! Yes, that's it!)
Can you post the last three at once please? I have to leave soon =(
YES! That was my tiebreaker that did that xD! I feel so powerful :P. And what is with all the DMDTS stuff winning >.>. Are we see going to see some variety?
As I said before, I'd like to thank Birdie for creating the RP, and Subway for eating fresh. I'd also like to thank my older sister for showing me forums, and getting me interested in RPing. Thanks again for the award! *runs backstage and becomes the host again*
Back to the awards! Oh, and btw, Dr.Hobo, I have the PMs intact, so if you want to see proof, I have it. ;)
RPers are the important factor in a successful RP. If you want to be a good RPer, you should always stay active, and NEVER God-mode. If you want to be a great RPer, than you go above and beyond that. Here are the nominees for Best RPer:
Birdie of Aces
FearItself
X_Hero
Triforce_Luigi
Orgizirtee
And the award goes to...
[spoiler]
The person who won...
...Has 2 capitilized letters in their name...
...has two "e"s in their name...
The award goes to...
Birdie of Aces! Congratulations![/spoiler]
*Jaw drops* I kept saying "FearItself" to myself as scrolling down xD. I mean, she has 2 'e's in her name and 2 capitol letters, right? Everyone talks about how good she is, so I just figured. But, that I wasn't expecting. I'm brand new to RPGing and didn't know what I was doing half the time when I started. DMDTS was my first RPG I ever made, and the first RPG I ever joined. I was surprised enough at being nominated xD. But thanks anyway, *takes award*. I'll put this in my virtual bedroom!
And Joeofmars, I'll make you the userbar. Do you want any pictures on it? Maybe make a pic of what your character looks like an I'll add it to the userbar.
Good speech, Birdie! *claps* Maybe you could make the sig-thing with Boogie and his boat crashing into the place. xD
Back to the Awards!
RPs are the foundation of this board. Without some of the RPs here, this board would most likely not exist. Good RPs depend on active members, good roleplaying skills, and the RPer who runs the RolePlay itself.
Here are the nominees for RP of the Year.
An Inside Job ~ FearItself
Azula's Reign ~ FearItself
Goomba Crossing ~ Bocko91
Nibankari ~ X_Hero
Dead Men Don't Tell Secrets ~ Birdie of Aces
And the award goes to...
[spoiler]
It has more than two words in its name...
..
.
An Inside Job, by FearItself! Congratulations![/spoiler]
Since Fear is not here, he/she/it cannot post a speech. So that would conclude our awards ceremony! Thanks to all who voted, to all who were nominated, and to all RPers everywhere! I'll see you around the forums!
~LS
OH, THANK GOD! There's the variety I was looking for! I would have joined that if it was still active and didn't have 200+ pages. I just hope The Revival meets up to An Inside Job's standards.
Anyway, that means that I only need to make one sig. And userbars are easy, so I'll get that to Joeofmars eventually.
Wait! Do I get a sig?
Wait.....What about other categories? Like Best couple, Biggest fail, etc?

Oh well.....
If you want a sig LS, just post the details of what you'd like it to look like and whether you'd like a userbar or small sig. Also, you'll have to say for which category that you won xD.
...
Damnit, there goes my hard work and dedication... oh well.
Userbar?

Mucho gracias, ShOrTi.
@Birdie: I think I'll go with a sig-addon for Best RP character, thanks.

I don't know. I have an account there. I'm guessing Fear, Orgizirtee, and Pheonix had accounts there before coming here. After Fear left, I guess Marluxia migrated there. Felldoh has an account there too.
Now it seems like the only people left from An Inside Job are you, me, Felldoh, and DH2.
If you want a sig for winning, PM me with some details of what you wish it to look like.

Agreed. However, I might make it biannual - as in, having one in the Winter and another in the Summer - but it has been undecided as of now. We'll just have to wait and see.
I wouldn't mind every 6 months... But once a year would definitely suffice.
I'm not sure I'm going to be here for years :|
Then, this annual RP thread won't apply to you when you leave. And I probably won't be around much longer, either. But once you leave, you don't really need to worry about what happens here.
true, but it's kinda ironic how I just started role playing right after this was made...
