[Byrd Man]

Here I think this makes is easiest to view.

Thank you.

 

[SuperFerret]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Ferret has voted.


But not for any of you, I just wrote in "Al Gore" under all of the Categories.

 

[Saved]

Thank you.

I don't care if you're being sincere or Byrd like, thanks.

 

[Batman]

My votes are in.

Heh. Get it? "In".

...

 

[Saved]

I've cast my ballot. May God help us all.

 

[Spike_x1]

Overall MVP (in all catagories): Byrd Man. He definitely helps with the motivation in CAH, among other things.

MVP (in Marvel): This category's not really applicable to me, since I haven't had anything to do with the Marvel games this year.

MVP (in DC): Trustyside-kick a.k.a. Roster B**ch.

MVP (in Misc): Syn (Mercenary).

RPG Lifetime Achivement Award: Batnkevlar. The dude pretty much started this craze on the Hype! (or at least started the wave that we're all riding now), and is the one who personally got me involved with the DC RPG, which began this crazy hobby of mine in the first place.

Most Improved Player: Karem-Knight.

Break-out Player of the Year: Andy C.. The Ult. DC RPG is worth reading just for his posts alone!

Most Original RPG Idea: This one's tough because I've only personally taken part in games based on previously established franchises, aside from the Zombie RPG and CAH, and despite how good those two are, neither concept is really original for an RPG. Soo...I'm settling on Gods and Men. I've never even looked into the threads for it, but everything that I've heard about it has been great, so it gets my vote.

Best New RPG: DC: Create-A-Hero. There's definitely some potential being tapped over there as the world is growing and the PCs are finding their way. It's currently my favorite of the games that I take part in.

G.O.D. (Games Operational Director) Award: Master Bruce.

Best Newcomer(s): Catman_prb.

Best Multiple PC Story Arc: Project: Icarus, for the same reasons that Keyser gave. No matter what it really turns out to be, it's definitely made an impression on many in the RPG community.

Best Solo Story Arc: Syn's Pulse origin story in CAH. Just read the first few of his posts, and then read one of his latest ones where Pulse makes his debut in Lost Haven, and you can see the confidence and badassery that has been built up in the character.

Best Hero Nominees: Master Bruce as Ultimate Batman.

Best Villain Nominees: This was honestly a tie between Keyser's Joker and Harle's Captain Nazi, but since so many people have gone nuts for the various Jokers so far in the nomination process, I'll go with Captain Nazi as my vote.

Best Team Nominees: I keep hoping that we'll get around to making a team of heroes in CAH (and if the heroes currently running around the CAHU are any indication, their team would be wicked), but I'm going to go with the Trinity and the seeds planted towards a Justice League during the Brainiac arc, in UDC.

Best Developed Character: Dammit, I'm compelled to give Master Bruce's Ultimate Batman another nomination.

Best Fight: Darkseid versus Earth (emphasis on Aquaman) in DC. Every character seemed to have been affected by this to at least some degree, whether directly or indirectly. It had Aquaman using Pontus (sp?) and giving his life in the fight, Superman who was at the front lines, and even greatly influenced Lex Luthor and the Atomic Skull into their actions later down the road.

Best Post: I honestly cannot decide.

MVP (in Misc): Syn (Mercenary).


Best Solo Story Arc: Syn's Pulse origin story in CAH. Just read the first few of his posts, and then read one of his latest ones where Pulse makes his debut in Lost Haven, and you can see the confidence and badassery that has been built up in the character.

Thanks, Spike. Glad you like it.

Best Post: I honestly cannot decide.

Amen.

Whoah, I'm up for MVP in DC? I didn't even see that!

I'm in the process of deciding on my votes, but I'd like to say thank you again for the nominations. I was going to continue this paragraph, but I don't want to sound like I'm brown-nosing, so I'll shut up now.
