The Arpies! (RPies)

An annual Role Playing award ceremony equivelent to the Oscars, where the best of the best are recognized for their acheivement and talent. Here are this years categories:

Best Role Player - Awarded to the single greatest role player on Blackstar. They have made an incredible impact on this site's Role Plays and have demonstrated mastery of the art above all others.

Best Role Play Idea - Given to the creator of the most unique and popular RP thread on Blackstar.

Best Rookie Role Player - Awarded to the new role player that has entered the Role Playing community within the past year, and have demonstrated the most growth since then.

Best Role Playing Character - Given to the owner of the character that was shown to have the best background, most creative origin, and was executed to their fullest extent.

Best Game Thread - This award goes to the creator of the most popular game thread in the bingo hall.

Best Story - Goes to the greatest story told in the amphitheater.

Best Item - To the creator of what is beleived to be the site's best item.

Most Overlooked Thread - The creator of the thread which had a brillant concept, but never really took off.

Most Devious Character - This goes to whoever has plotted to such an extent as to gain something of value whilst tricking or lying to others in order to do so.

Best Powerplayer - This goes to someone who technically powerplayed through something but to either an incredibly amusing way, or went unnoticed.

Hero Award - Goes the character/person who made the most daring or self-sacrificial save (if necessary, can be awarded to one or more person if teamwork came into play).

Funniest Thread/Comment/Post/Action - Exactly what it says, preferably in character. If it made you laugh and have surgery to seal your sides back together, it goes here.

Best Roleplayer of X Style - These are several awards given to one person for each category of Role Playing (Tiger, Mantis, Spider, Monkey, Fox, Owl, and Chameleon). This is presented to the person that best represents that category (they do not actually have to have a belt for that category).

Best Sensei - This award is presented to the Sensei who provides the best leadership for their clan. This is given to the single best Sensei in the Dojo (I predict this will be known as the DP award Razz

)

This is only the nominations. For your post include:

Also note, for the Best RP'er of each style, Sensei's are not eligible. Even if they're like me, I can't be eligible for the Mantis award because I am a sensei, even though it is of a different style than the one I'm being awarded for.

Just out of Curiosity, will this be taking over the Quote of the Month Award? And if so, should the neccecary changes be made to the Belt FAQ?
