Current Award goes to (June 26th to July 10, '09):




Past Awards: (Newest to Oldest)





As a roleplayer, I'm always sticking my head into the roleplays I'm a part of, drinking in all of the details and concocting a post of my own to continue the story. This can eat up all of the time I want to spend in any roleplaying section and once I'm done, I leave the section to return another day, often times only back into the roleplay I'm participating in.

What about all of the other Roleplays? They have creators that, like me, take into account ever single detail to create the most interesting story. Because of what I said, most of the time I don't have any drive to read anything afterward. I found out that one of the reasons for this is that there are so many interesting Roleplays that are all contained in a long list. This can be discouraging, and unless someone point a specific roleplay out, I'll shoot right past all of them.

This is where this award comes in.

In an attempt to equally share the chance of credit and mention, all while encouraging long and detailed roleplays and posts, a specific mod will select a Roleplay that is interesting (meaning detailed posts), active, and can be held as a role model for the community to gave this award.

The award consists of one of four image awards*, one unique image for each of the Mods, to be posted within the main post of the roleplay, a mention here of this topic for two weeks, and the Roleplay itself will be changed to a sticky for two weeks.

*The image award has yet to be created. Roleplays that have won the award while the image is under construction will be given the image award when it is completed. They're to come soon!

Once the two weeks period runs out, roleplay will be moved to a running list of past awards on this topic and unstickied.
Then, the next round of awards will be presented by a different mod.

The award periods change every two weeks on Friday.
We have implemented a new mod-to-RP system. Every shift, every mod will pick an award from a dedicated RP section. Then the next time the mods will switch to the next section. All possible combination are posted below as well as the current upcoming dates:

Rules:
+ Every mod, no matter what section they may have for the round, must have the other mods agree to their choice before the award is given.

+ The four private roleplaying sections are not eligible for the award.

+ Mods are not allowed to pick Roleplays they are a part of. However, Mods can pick Roleplays that other Mods are participating in.

+ Repeated awards are not allowed by the same Mod.

+ Members are not allow to try and persuade Mods into picking a specific Roleplay.

+ If the awarded RP starts lagging behind from ideal stature in the middle of a display period, it may be subject to be unstickied and labeled with an [X] in the RP Honor Award topic. The award itself still belongs the RP, however.

Hmm, this is an interesting idea! I agree that the more advanced roleplayers, or those who put more effort into their posts should be rewarded. Maybe also there should be a note: being a part of a zillion different roleplays won't increase your chances of winning- in fact, it's more likely to decrease that chance.

The Awards are aimed at quality Roleplays themselves, not Roleplayers participating specifically.
Though quality Roleplays need really good Roleplayers, so it's a double positive.

With this system, the number of Roleplays someone participates in and the chance of being rewarded technically don't have a relation because different groups act differently to different situations; some groups will strive for excellence, some will be held back, some might not even try.

The first award for the Balto/TLK RP section has been posted!

New awards posted!

I love this idea! It will encourage roleplayers to strive and work harder. Everyone would love to get their roleplay noticed... and they know inorder to do so they must have lengthy and detailed posts. This is brilliant. =] Clever. Props to you guys.

New awards posted.

With the introduction of the forum update and the new Tail Spin section, the system the awards run on have changed.

Since the Balto and the Lion King awards were originally one topic, the mod have ought to keep all of the awards of the old topic in the Balto Version of the awards even if an awarded topic is moved to the Lion King RP section.

ooc Hi I have no idea how to do this b ecause its my first typing roll playing game so plz let me know if I am doing anything wrong! I am Baltos cousin, Loona, I was in the wolf pack alue lead and after I realised Balto was my aunt Aniews son I turned around and ran back to try to fid him. I am 18 in wolf years. My characters coat is the color of the moon and she has a personality like a star bright, beutiful, firey, and yet some what shy!

So here it goes!

Loona was confused and lost, She could not find anybody and she was lonely. Hwo wouldnt be lonly if they were a wolf now seperated from the pack they had known forever? Loona shivered it was cold. She looked to the moon. Ah...the moon which had inspired her mother to name her Loona much like luminouse. She sang to the moon out of instinct hoping another wolf would here her melody for she was lost in the forest!

Storyseeker...Please don't spam. There are lots of guides on how to RP...BTW,you're doing pretty good.
