The Grand Gameplay Armchair Awards (2019)

Postby Wabbitslayah » Fri Jan 10, 2020 3:23 pm

Dunno what happened to the awards for last year, the original person poofed. So, I believe this is due. Keep in mind, like the original creator, No "OOC" related stuff.




I'm going to give it a week of nominations, and then a week of voting.

Nominations will be open until Jan 17th, Votes will be open until the 24th of January.

Both noms n votes will be held in this thread.



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.



If you believe you have names worthy of these exceptionally prestigious and comfortable prizes, you can fill out the following form below, and submit it in this thread.

Quite an interesting set of awards you've got there. Always nice to think of the "retired" players like myself.

I won't be voting because I suck at remembering who did what.

Stop giving misogynistic abusers a platform. Anyone who sides with Tiktok Star Andrew Tate even 1% of what he says will be treated as enemy who should be shamed out of society. Impressions+Views+Videowatches=$. Nothing he says is new or revolutionary. I don't care if he said "some good stuff", it's still bad because: the more you watch him, the more ad revenue MONEY and algorithm BOOSTS you're giving him to traffick victims. And don't say the victim lied, a young man stupidly told me that the victim confessed to lying, I told em to link me proof, articles or the Audio of her confession, he googled and found 0 proof 0 articles, and he realized he was spreading fake rumors he heard and BELIEVED without fact-check. Don't brand victims as liars without GOOGLING. Debated here

It would have been a disservice to the game to let it lie forgotten to the ravages of time.
