The 2012 "I Am PlaneShift" Awards
Hosted by yours, truly...
Hello again, friends and roleplayers! Those of you lurkers may remember a time when the PS community awards were around. However, those have long been past, and I think Garris was the last person to run one. I think it's time to just recognize a few of the people who still play, and the forumers and players who make this game what it was.
A few rules: In each category, feel free to nominate 1-2 people, no more. Nominations will be done via PM or thread, whichever you feel most comfortable with. Simply copy and paste the blank form with the necessary names put in.
-Categories will not be as vast this year as in previous years. No need to string things out.
-Voting will be done in a separate thread after nominations have been announced.
-3 nominations is required to make the voting thread for any category.
-In the event of a tie, both players will be rewarded with the love and adulation of this community.
-This isn't a "bigger" competition, it's a "let's applaud people" competition. Don't take it personally if you don't get what you want.
--Judges: during nominations, also include who you wish to be named as three judges. Myself and two others will ensure the process is completed fairly and without biase, such as multiple votes or alts. There will also be three awards chosen by the judges. Choose wisely, PS.
-Alts may be chosen for singular awards. "Mains" are preferred, and we will try to make the awards broad enough that alts can't simply be created or have been created for an award to be won, etc.
Without further ado, here are your categories. Please PM your nominations or post them, or your questions, in this thread.

IN-GAME Awards:
2012's Best Roleplayer:
(Who you think has invested the most time and effort into this community, created a sense of realism, and gotten in-depth with their character/s more than anyone else. There can be biase here, so think long and hard before either outcrying against nominations or throwing your vote willy-nilly).
2012's Hero:
(The in-game character who has gone out of their way to make sure Hydlaa and Yliakum has stayed safe this year. Could be a martyr, misunderstood hero, or even someone who's just thwarted a potential catastrophe. Your votes decide.)
2012's Villain:
(That one character who just eats you up. Literally? Figuratively? We're looking for a well-rounded character who has several facets instead of just inherent 'evil'. Badness, misunderstood-ness, maybe desperation - the character who you just enjoyed being bad.)
2012's Contributor:
(That character who wasn't necessarily evil or a hero, but just contributed to the overall feeling of reality in this game. Someone who poured their heart out into an average Joe and made things all that much better for everyone else in this game. Think long and hard on this one, as it is what we all should aspire to be.)
Imagination's Scribe:
(Who created that plot you just couldn't tear your character away from? Who got you so involved that you leaped in your chair, or stayed awake thinking about what was going to happen next? OR, even just the person who's character drew you in in ways others couldn't, or went out of their way to make things happen to yours.)
Two-Face:
(The character who's 'reveal' shocked you most in some manner. Perhaps it was your bread-making housewife who murdered her husband in jealousy over an affair! WHO KNOWS?!?!)
Moribund:
(Sometimes, static is good. Things don't change much, and maybe this character didn't either.)
Punching Bag:
(Took their licks. Maybe didn't give em, but hey, a drink will solve the pain...everywhere...)
Yliakum's Stupidest:
(Don't take it to heart, ladies or fellas, but your character was dumber (IQ or actions-wise) than a dead clacker.)
