Every year, Obernewtyn.net hosts an awards ceremony, to mark the achievements of members for the previous year.
It's all in a bit of fun, and there's some guild points earnable if you nominate people, too.
Which Awards are Available?For a complete list of past years awards and winners, please see;
-
2008 awards.
-
2007 awards.
Think someone has the best signature? Catchphrase? Hat? RPG!Rushton moment?
Nominate them. If there's no Award already existing in the above lists to suit the Award you want to nominate someone for - create it. Have fun. Be quirky, silly, lace the award with innuendo if you must. Just don't be mean - this is supposed to be fun - for everyone!
How does the Naming of Awards work?You will notice with a lot of awards, that they are 'named' after a member of the site. The name on the award is, for want of a better term, the 'reigning champion' of that award. Each year, the award is updated, to include the previous year's winner.
Confused? Here's an example.
In 2007, Arctic Firefox won the "Educated Gentleman" award.
In 2008, Agyllian won "Arctic Firefox's Educated Gentleman" award.
This year, someone will win "Agyllian's Educated Gentleman" award. Let's say, for arguement's sake, that it was a member called "Gevan". Next year, "Gevan's Educated Gentleman" award would be up for grabs. So on and so forth.
For a full list of the 2009 awards renamed (so you know what to nominate for): ~Link~
You can nominate as many or as few members as you would like for awards - and you will receive 1 shiny guild point for your trouble :)
Please try to not vote for the current owner of the award (hint; their name is in the award's name :P ).
Reigning Champions are encouraged to nominate someone to receive their previous year's award, too :)
To Nominate: PM your nomination/s to the Moonfairy, no later than the 7th August 2009!
