And yes, I suggested the name for the Noctis Award, Reno Award, Quistis Award, What The Hell - Finger? Award and the Hope Award :monster:

Edit: In particular I think the Hope Award works well both for the crack at Hope and the literal meaning. I sure Hope I get an Award.

TLS Peacekeeper award should be the Angeal award.

Most pedantic should be the Hojo award.

Flintlock · Dec 12, 2016

"Creative Contributor - Fiction/Poetry" could be the LOVELESS Award.

I'm tryna keep it FFVII, but I notice Quistis and Noctis have snuck in... if it's open to the whole series, Best Ass should really be the Fran Award.

Excellent!

God damn but you are right sir! Cheerfully amended!

@ Licorice: I also agree with those.

Side convo: Did we want to keep the award names all FF7? I mean we are foremost an FF7 fansite.

If so -
Most Want To Bone = Honeybee Award
Best Ass = Mukki Award?

Okay, so here's the updated list. I have given the remaining titles an FF7 themed name so they all kind of match. I have colored my suggestions in Cyan and I am totally okay with any of them being changed - they're just suggestions for consistency.

Also we have a total of 35 Awards. I think that's plenty to be going on with. Were there any last minute additions or can we all agree that we've covered pretty much all the bases?

Flintlock · Dec 12, 2016

Those names are looking really good, Jason!

Russell · Dec 12, 2016

I'm feeling good about picking up that Heidegger Award. :wacky:

Alex Strife · Dec 12, 2016

Names are loking positively spiffing!

Cthulhu · Dec 12, 2016

is there a Yop award for best Yop?

Carlie · Dec 13, 2016

There is! Here are the options:

1) ___ Anyone that can be arsed

2) ___ Anyone that doesn't use no u constantly

3) ___ Anyone that resides outside of the Netherlands

Channy · Dec 13, 2016

What about my best response/gif award? It's the only thing I'm guaranteed. :femrage:

Also, what's the difference between funniest and most entertaining? They seem a bit synonymous.

It's the difference between a pie in the face and a cream pie in the face. :monster:

Lewd joke aside, they might be too similar to warrant having both. Arguments for / against?

Also i can get behind best response gif / image. Perhaps replace one of the two above with that? I like 35. That's a nice number.

Flintlock · Dec 13, 2016

Funniest / most entertaining has been one category in the past. I just streamlined the name a bit when suggesting it. So yeah, totally merge.

Merged Funniest and Most Entertaining and took it upon myself to add Best Reponse / GIF, dubbing it the God Damn Tea Award.

I wonder if thread starter should be nixed since we have creative poster instead. They're sorta similar and only slightly different...?

A creative poster might be somebody who only participates in threads. A thread starter is somebody who creates threads that create a lot of meaningful engagement even if they never participate in it again.

That's my argument for keeping both at least.
