Posted: Fri Nov 18, 2016 11:32 pm
Welcome to the 1st Annual Idalos Awards!
What are the Idalos Awards?
They are a celebration of the excellence that is this site and the wonderful players and staff who make it such a great community. In celebration of this awesome truth, we are launching the Annual Idalos Awards.
How Do They Work?
The Idalos Awards start in November and the winners will be announced on the 31st December, just in time for us to start a whole new year of being great!
There are nine categories. Every player will be asked to Nominate up to four people for each category.
This will be done via a weblink which will allow us to collate these nominations. NB: This is up to four, you do not have to complete all fields.
The first question asks if you are a staff member or not as there will be "staff awards" and "player awards". Not many, but some!
We will then collate the results and the "Nominees" will be revealed.
Then, you vote for your winners!
Who Can Vote?
Any registered player from ST can vote. Please note that there is only ONE vote per player (not per account).
What's the Timeframe?
1. Nominations open: TODAY!
2. Nominations close Saturday 3rd December
3. Nominees are announced / voting starts December 10th
4. Voting closes December 24th
5. Reveal of winners December 31st
What are the categories?
They are as follows:
1. Character of the Year: The character voted as the best character on ST that year. The one pc whose threads we love to stalk because they are just a pleasure to read!
2. Prophet of the Year: A staff member who has made a significant impact on the site, who is a pleasure to work with, and who is consistently focused on creating a wonderful experience for players.
3. Contributor of the Year: A player or staff member who has contributed to the site in any number of ways, including city- or world-development, peer reviews, recruitment, and mentoring new players.
4. Ship of the Year: A favourite pair of characters who are either in a relationship or should be in a relationship.
5. Storyteller of the Year: Awarded to a player who consistently weaves excellent stories, creates interesting plots, and retains the interest of the playerbase.
6. Villain/Antagonist of the Year: Because bad guys needs love, too! Awarded to a character who consistently creates conflict and antagonizes his or her thread partners. The character might be a bad guy, or may just be misunderstood.
7. Hero of the Year: Awarded to a character who plays a hero, good guy, all round good egg!
8. Heartthrob of the Year the PC that we all like to fawn over, be it for their looks or the way they portray themselves in RP. The one that everyone would like to date in-character but most characters won't ever get a chance to.
9. Racial Exemplar: The most accurate, interesting and well portrayed role play of a race for this year. Any race!
What's the prizes?
Well, for being Nominated, you will be put into a new "Hall of Fame" which we will reveal in the new year. For winning, you get a place in the Hall of Fame plus a medal!
