As I log in today I looked at the forum age, "Forum Age: 8 Years, 11 Months, and 18 Days", still to this day I never thought I'd be here that long. I would be lying if I said we didn't have our rough patches more than smooth ones in that time, late last year the mod staff dropped to me alone, Veigue was promoted to staff and things started to move once again. It wasn't long before Richter re-joined us and changes began to happen. It wasn't until Nayru joined us larger changes took place. We got a LOT done in the past couple of months, most of it you guys haven't even got to see. The past 6 months some rules changed, then changed again, things aren't even the same today as they were almost 9 years ago. Heck even the default skin had changed, I'm 100% positive if somebody who started here 8 years ago came back they wouldn't even recognize the place(outside of the mini banner).
Well, we're coming to the end of another year of WotW being active, and another step forward and on behalf of all of the staff members(past and present) I would like to thank everybody for being here and I would like to enjoy your presence for a long time. Now, onto the awards, since we didn't have them last year we're going to bundle the past couple of years into one.
Rookie of the Year(s):
New people joining is bound to happen, this is the moment we would like to recognize those people. Only members that were approved on November 1st, 2012 or later will be considered.(Remember, it's date APPROVED that matters, not joined.)
Best Hero:
A hero is one who seeks out to help those in need of aid, who do you think filled that role the best.
Best Villain:
This one isn't as black and white as Best Hero. Some times they love to stand in the hero's way, other times they do what benefits them the most without considering what it would do to others.
Best Male Character:
Self explanatory.
Best Female Character:
Pretty much like Best Male Character, self explanatory. Yes, Richter does have fabulous hair but that doesn't mean he's a contestant for this one.
Most Spirited Character:
Almost every RPG or anime has one of these, it's typically that character that a lot of people grow to hate. Nothing ever keeps them down, they're always striving to be the best, even if it's from side lines. Kinda like your mom at your sports game when you were little.
Best Battle Posts:
As it's been said before, combat is the bread and butter of Fire Emblem. Who paints the best picture of how they're gutting some fool in your mind?
Best Peace Time Posts:
Every warrior needs their down time, who's got the best non-combat post out there?
Best Pair:
Think Calvin and Hobbes, two people with fantastic synergy that get along so well.
Best (Worst) Enemies:
There's always a pair that loves to hate each other. Their relationship thrives upon that extreme dislike for one another, who high lights this the best?
Best Support:
Supports aren't only a great way for two characters to get to know each other, they're also fun to read. What support were you waiting on the next post because it was that addictive?
One True Pairing:
There's always that one couple that feels as if they had no say in becoming one, it's as if fate decided they were going to be together no matter what.
Most Comical Post:
Was it a serious post that you couldn't help wetting yourself from laughing at? Or was it something you could see the writer put some attempt to crack a smile from the readers? It doesn't matter, it's time to let everybody know who you think has the funniest post.
Most Helpful Member:
Everybody's new at one point, there are times mods aren't around to answer any questions so they point them in the right direction. There's also people that creates mugs for people who request them, or even the first to join into a "Looking for group" thread. There's a million other ways you can determine who's the most helpful, but the question is who do YOU think fits that role?
Just a reminder, please use post that happened after the last awards ended to decide who to vote for. You may vote only ONCE via PM (Please send them all to Hal so I don't have to check multiple accounts for votes). The last day to send me your vote is October 29th. You are allowed to vote for yourself for a couple of categories, but I will ignore any ballet that has all of your own characters. There will be a prize for winners, which will be announced along with the winners.
