The Grand Gameplay Armchair Awards are here to provide recognition to those of us who are truly impressively effective in their fields of excellence, or at least would be, if we could be bothered! There's a lot going on, and we can't all be glued to this website all day, you know. The rest of you should really take a hint from how we operate. We take things slow and steady. We don't bother solving a problem that won't be a problem in 3 months anyway. We don't needlessly poke sticks into drama that's better appreciated with popcorn, and most importantly of all, we log in on day 59, and not a moment before!
I really didn't see the point of thinking of more than a few of these awards, but I'll happily take nominations for the ones I've come up with so far! No need to bother yourself with any more effort than this, hmm?
I shouldn't have to tell you to leave OOC stuff at the door. Much too heavy. People get forklift licenses for a reason, you know.
The Resolute Hammock
Do you have a brave warrior in mind, a champion of goodness, who's become quite adept at eating pancakes instead of saving innocents? Nominate them for the Resolute Hammock, for it shall look splendid upon their coffee table.
The Recliner of Darkness
Or perhaps you are thinking of a great Satan, a scion of evil that now causes more danger to potato chips than natives? Shaped inexplicably like the soccer trophy of an 8 year old child, this award is on offer to the raider with the most heavily used Netflix subscription.
The Church Pew of Neutrality
Hey, it's alright. I'm bad at making decisions myself. Not making one before you hit the retirement home feels a bit ridiculous, though. This gorgeous church pew is all yours if you were no longer involved in NationStates Gameplay without having taken a side in the first place.
The Extremely Large Sofa Bed
Nominating an entire region of people requires a bit of space, but this exceptional sofa bed easily seats twelve, perhaps more. I don't have enough friends to really test the capacity. Only an entire group of layabouts is worthy of such an excellent all-in-one inactivity package.
The Grandfatherly Rocking Chair
Who tells the tallest tales? Some of you are good at them. This rickety chair will be given to the person who recounted the most incredible of stories of things that happened once upon a time in NationStates Gameplay.
The Rube Goldberg Barstool
It takes a bit of lazy brilliance to really feel an affinity with a Rube Goldberg machine. This award is on offer, in recognition of the major gameplay event that was solved with the least effort required of those attempting to solve it.
The NordicTrack RX800 Elliptical Trainer
Is there someone out there who you feel isn't well suited to inactivity? Send them a blunt message and sneak this machine into their living room while they're out gardening. This award will go to the person you'd all most like back from the peaceful life.
The Masquerading Ottoman
Is there someone out there that seems inactive, but you suspect otherwise? People who've bothered to get this far down the options form should nominate the "retired" player most likely to be slinking around underneath a secret identity.
The Grand Golden Throne
The most distinguished award of all. This award goes to the least active regular participant in NationStates Gameplay, the man or woman who does the most with the littlest effort. You'll need to figure out the plumbing yourself, though.

Nominations will be open until the end of July! Voting will take place between the 1st and 7th of August! Submit your nominations, fair ladies and gentlemen of gameplay! But most importantly, hold off on submitting them until tomorrow. It's always good to sleep on these things.
editeditediteditedit: I should also take the moment to specify that we're only attempting to consider the last 12-18 months of people, here. If we can keep our nominations to within that time frame of consideration, that would be spiffing!
