    I don't think we should get rid of these awards and instead refresh them every year. There's an overlap sure, but maybe to keep the awards feeling fresh we swap out which awards are featured each year. Downsizing in general will be better. Keep the most diverse awards and swap out the others yearly?

    I also think member based awards can be fun, if the person featured was exempt. So "Most Likely to End up in Kris office" is a fun award, but, Kris shouldn't be able to win it. Maybe the same with Storm's award haha.

    Also if we're doing special awards we could do a "Most Likely to Give in to Decay" and just disqualify me from winning it. That's just an example but it would allow this years awards to feel unique.

    Maybe also we do a "two time champ" block on awards too. Maybe you can win the same award two years in a row, but after that you're locked out of it. Meaning I couldn't have "Most Likely to Become a Superhero" or "Best Blogger" like I did in years past. That way the same people aren't always winning.

    I guess we need to ask what are the "essential awards" that should be main stays every year and what are considered "special awards" that could be swapped out to provide a more fresh award show.

    I like this better. It trims down the base, allows both categories to be filled up faster/easier since they're now combined, and we won't run into any problems where we could hurt a member that doesn't belong in the category we assumed they did.

    It used to be one award, but the guys were usually not picked for this at all (aka usually the women were almost always winning).

    I do understand we have the topic of those who do not confirm to binary gender, and have always wondered how we can go with it with a twist and change, while still allowing more chances for more people to get it.

    If anyone has ideas I'd be more than happy to go with it.

    Another option is to ditch this one completly.

    I also considered the option to change the "prince/princess" into the "Royality of RPA". (aka just one award).


    Also, the squirrel award thing was part of a joke regarding our staff. We used to have one changed award for each mod (we had one for myself, juni, storm, etc.). I just need to consider what option it will be this year and say to not pick the obvious (aka don't pick Kris for most likely to end up in Kris' office ).

    I want to keep it because of tradition and a little bow to the staff

    I don't want to impose this rule, mainly since people do like to win the awards, and I want to give the option for people to get them.

    I do give the option to whoever wants to opt out of the awards, or certain awards, the chance to say so.

    I guess my one input to this is to say sorry I've not been around much. I don't know how many people will vote this year compared with before but kudos for keeping it running.

    neat idea to be sure, and I'd be ok with it. but I'd rather do away with the sexiest all together.

    I say, let us all be fortiorum fortia facta.

    I agree with Dnafein on this, though I haven't been around much, I remember how much fun it was, when there was a lot of activity, to see the nominations and to read the threads.

    We can remind members that they don't have to nominate for every category.

    I'm just more vocal, but there are people working in the background and each mod pulling their share according to their abilities and time
