The Hype RPG 2007 Awards!

[Feature]

Wow. Nice to pick up those awards. I don't really consider them my awards though, as it is something I could not have done alone.
The current game is different in alot of ways from my original idea, thanks to the input of my fellow judges. Byrd, MB and Twy have been an invaluble resource and I've never for a second had doubts about choosing them to do the job.
This award is theirs as much as it is mine. I am glad everyone is enjoying the game, and I am proud to have contributed to our community.
Oh yeah, and one more thing...

SHAME ON YOU, MR. BUSH!

 

[Andy C.]

Fun fact: Michael Moore claimed in Bowling for Columbine that the biggest problem in America was our obsession with guns. Statistically,though, the #1 killer of Americans is obesity. Something Mr. Moore seems to support to the fullest.

Anyway, congratulations on the double-win. That's pretty awesome.

Andy, it's good to know someone else thinks like I do out there.

 

[Johnny Blaze]

Michael Moore isn't that bad. I thought he was good in Team America.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Michael Moore - in-and-of himself - is pretty annoying. But as long as he attacks Bush, he's on my good side.

 

[Andy C.]

See, that sorta thing is what drove me away from politics altogether. The whole thing has become about what people are against instead of what they support. And as long as both the left and right wings are controlled by the extreme ends, it's going to stay that way.

Well said. I agree with you, Andy.

 

[trustyside-kick]

Yea, people are too busy attacking issues like same sex marriage and abortion when there are bigger things to worry about.

 

[Saved]

Well said. I agree with you, Andy.

[Catman_prb]Seconded.[/Catman_prb]

 

[Byrd Man]

Since there seems to be a few people online right now. I'll go ahead to our next category.

Best Newcomer

Newbies, n00bs, *****es.

Call them what you will. While most need to learn the ropes (myself in included) before they start to show their true selves. Some come out the gate swinging, bringing quality from their first post on. With that said, here's 2007's best N00B

[Byrd Man]

Most Improved Player

This award is a bit of a double edged sword. To win this one, kinda means you sucked. But it also means you don't suck anymore...well, you might suck, but not as much as you once did. I'm just gonna shut my mouth now and award The Hyper to...

[Electro UK]

Well done to everyone so far. You all deserved it.

 

[Saved]

Byrd, for best developed Character, don't you mean Harvey Dent Keyzer Soze OU, not DC?

 

[trustyside-kick]

I'll be home in probably 30 minutes or so, so if Master Bruce does not mind presenting after me, I'll be presenting the Award for Break-Out Player of the Year.

Who's going to win this Hyper? Find out later.

Break-Out Player of the Year

This Hyper goes to the player who really rocked our minds with their portrayal over a vast amount of time with the characters they tackled. Although, I'm sure the player receiving this award would not have expected to win such an award. I will expand and show my reasoning, and when you find out said winner, you may be surprised.

I recall a conversation we had once, when he referred how often he would post his work, look back at it, and feel regret thinking it sucks and always aching to change it. That's a directed quote paraphrased, my friends.

Then we got into a conversation of how some people use much detail and really flesh out his posts, and this player mentioned wishing to do so more often. All this poster did was seem to put himself down, when really...there was nothing wrong with his work. Everyone was enjoying it, and it showed even if they didn't post so in the OOC thread.

Lengthy posts are not what it is always about. It is about the content and quality inside. If the story sells, the story sells. This poster has made a name for himself, and didn't even know it right away. We could all see it as it progressed, but it hit him all at once at the end. Kudos to him, because he has shown how deserving he is of this award.

So without further adieu, The Hyper for Break-Out Player of the Year goes to...

*Jumps onto the stage with the thunderous sounds of booing ringing all around him*

Thank you! Thank you! Where to start, where to start? There's so many people I want to think for this...umm. I'm just going to name a few, since there are so many.

The Marvel RPGers, who's game caught my attention in the first place

Harl, for all his helpful contrusctive criticisms when I first started

Vanilla Ice, for keeping it real

Master Bruce, Johnny Blaze, Green Lantern and SuperFerret for being the people I bounce ideas off of and who put up with my bull**** on a regular basis.

Twylight, for nagging me to the point where I want to strangle her. She truly is my hype wife in that regard.

To my T-Bolts hommies, keep hope alive.

And to whoever I forgot to mention. Thank you.

And as I take a sip from my scotch I'm sure someone spit in. I want to say this....

Kiss my ass, you rotten mother ****ers.

Here to present the Games Operational Director (G.O.D) award, From the upcoming story arcs, "The Harlem Brothers", "Ultimate Long Halloween", and "The JLA Reforms: Part Reduex", please put your hands together for comedian, actor, writer, and punchline, Master Bruce!

Thank you, thank you. You stay classy, Hypemerica.

*crickets*

Anyway. Once in awhile, in our merry little section, someone comes along to bring order to a chaotic class of society that we lightly dub as civil. And usually, flatly, they fail, trampled by the rabid likes of everyone from Asteriod-Man to Green Lantern. We usually overlook these brave souls, but if you'd allow me, I'd like to issue a moment of silence on their behalf, so we can mourn the fallen in the line of duty.

*BLAM*

"Hold it! Hooooolllddd it! I can't take it anymore! This presenter is far too dull! You need someone with class. Someone with dignity. And for godsakes, someone who can tell a half decent joke!"

What in god's name... You?!

"Yes! Me, Brucey boy! Gasp, shock, and horror away... the party's just livened up! The man, the myth, the legend... the entertainer! Joe. K. Err, himself, has arrived! And I'd like to issue a little message to our resident Hypers and Hypettes. Ahem."

"Starting tonight, you're all going to die. I'm a man of my word! HAHA!"

What do you want, you maniac?

"Why, to entertain the masses, of course. They must've been smoking something foul when they elected your grusome posterior as the ringmaster of this little shindig. So I'm here to bring some life back into the old sack, if you catch my drift. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to smile!"

"You see, once every year, in our cheeful little section, someone comes along to bring *yawn* ...order to a society so great it's beyond comprehension. Usually, and more importantly, always, they fail, trampled by the rabid likes of everyone from Asteriod-Man to Green Lantern. We usually overlook these brave souls, but if you'd allow me, I'd like to issue a moment of silence on their behalf, so we can mourn the fallen in the line of duty."

...That was almost exactly like my speech.

"True, true. But you didn't actually send someone to the great beyond, afterwards."

What are you-

*BLAM*

ARGH!

"Mourning's over! Try again next year, Bruce boy! And now, without further adieu, your little relic of an award goes to..."

"MADE YOU LOOK!"

Wow guys. I never thought I'd win with so many nods towards Asteroid-Man and the RPer formerly known as Spidey's Super-Fan (now Matt Murdock), especially Asteroid-Man sice most of the vets nominated him. But I'm glad I won. I never really thought that I ever improved, until I looked back at my first posts as Blacklight and Black Panther, and I realised that I did suck back then and I'm glad that I've improved since I started out, but I really couldn't do it without all of you and your posts to learn from. Thank you all. I'd also like to thank:

My mom, for never giving up and kicking cancer's abnormal cellular a**.

All the comic book companies for creating awesome characters for myself and the rest of us to portray.

The Hype for being a result when I Googled "Marvel role-playing game" when I was looking for info on Marvel Universe Online for 360.

Hayden Panettiere for being hot.

Burger King for giving me a job so I could RP more.

Dane Cook for PWNing most other comedians with his Kool-Aid jokes.

Snickers for tasting awesome.

Dew k. Mosi for being Dew.

X-Box for setting the HD-Graphics trend.

Nolan for gaining back the respect I lost for the Batman movies when they replaced Micheal Keaton.

Favreau for bringin' Stark to the big screen finally!

Wendy's for finding the beef.

and finally all of the RPers here in this forum for being like a family to me.



Thank you...
