Award Nominating - For August 2012

AUGUST 2012 Award Nominating


This thread is for nominations only. By choosing someone to be
nominated, you're saying that you think they should be in the
running for winning an award - it does not count as a vote.
One nomination is allowed per category.

After July 27th, the nomination thread will close.
Nominations will be compiled into a poll for everyone to vote on.
The nominees with the most votes will win.

Winners get a banner in their signature and their character's
picture will be displayed in the welcome table. Those who have
banners now will lose theirs when the winners are announced
but don't worry, all award graphics will be kept in a thread located
in this section.

Before you nominate, please pay attention to other people's posts
to see if the person you want to nominate is already nominated.
Nominating someone twice in this thread has no affect on if they'll
win or not. Its best to think of people who deserve it who haven't
been mentioned yet.

If someone's already been nominated however, you can say nice
things about that person if you agree, and also nominate someone else.

Please give us a reason for all nominations. Thanks! And make
sure not to just vote for the same person over and over
again, and especially not yourself

People who have won last month in a category cannot be nominated
this month in the same category.

Note: Staff will NOT be nominating or voting. Its up to the members!

This month's wild card category chosen by staff:
MOST IMPROVED PLAYER
What player have you seen grown in leaps and bounds through
out their time at NI? Who has made vast improvements in RPing
their characters? Who have you seen work really hard to get
better?

My Nomination For Female of the Month is...
Rhiannon Castleton - I really really enjoy Rhiannon and I really enjoy how much Chess puts into her history. She and Killian have great banter and it's always a thrill to be in a thread with her.

My Nomination for Male of the Month is...
Nicholas Miles - I finally got a one-on-one thread with Nick this month and WHOA is Ven a great writer! It's always a thrill threading with Nick because he's so well-written. I really look forward to future threads.

My Nomination for Member of the Month is...
Jenna - Can we just get a round of applause for Jenna? I've written with her for years and she's always been great to plot with, to thread with and to speak to. She's always caught up on the board and her energy is contagious. I'm glad she found NI and that we've been reunited!

My Nomination for Most Improved of the Month is...
Mel - I think Mel's always been a great writer. Now, she's taking on Kol and her Elena is just so spot on it's baffling! She's willing to do a lot of things with her characters and that's just the makings of a great writer, if you ask me.

Honorable Mentions
Martha - I always sing Martha's praises, but I really think she's a great addition to the board. She and I plot constantly and she's so creative. It's always great to speak with her and to write with her.

Adam - Adam is another one I really like to speak to and plot with. He and I have the two sheriffs on the board who are huge rivals (Killic, anyone!? ) and he's always so willing to just explore ideas. He says he rediscovered his love for RP because of NI and I know I'm not alone in being happy that he's stuck around!

My Nomination For Female of the Month is...
Woodrow Smith - I'm stalking threads and so far I've enjoyed everything written. She's -hilarious.-

My Nomination for Male of the Month is...
Maer DuBlanc - This is not a "he nom'd me, I'll nom him" thing. This is a "The entire thread with Maer played my emotions like bongo drums." There was one point I had -happy tears.- Danny is amazing in general ( but I totally like Maer more than Killian. Just saying. )

My Nomination for Member of the Month is...
LianananananananananaBATMAN - Despite everything bad about this month, Lian is still doing awesome things, and I don't think I can put her for any other places. Her writing is awesome, her characters are all really dynamic, and... well, yeah. All that. xD

My Nomination for Most Improved of the Month is...
Adam - This is going to sound awkward, but his character voices have become so spot on that it's scary. Reading Willow / Eric threads are astounding, and I can't wait to see more. This category is weird, methinks.

My Nomination For Female of the Month is...
Willow - I've always loved the friendship and the dynamic with her and Buffy since day one. The thread I have with Adam is set in 2014 and what he's done with her is brilliant. Everything is Willow-like and I love it. I'm about to be stalking the ghost thread because I can't get enough of her quirky sayings, plus it'll FOREVER be tarawillow<3 I COMMAND IT

My Nomination for Male of the Month is...
Killian - I always have loved threading with Danny, he has no problem being the asshole bad guy that you either want to kill or do bad things with. (-Hellgodcoughyesplz)- Killian has threatened those she loves and plus he's working with Eric and Bill -- Nan is dead. I love to see original characters well written and he's one of my favorites.

My Nomination for Member of the Month is...
Kmy - My biggest thing about canons, and that's pretty much all she has, is that they need to be played correctly. I think Kmy goes above and beyond, she has her characters down. I am about to start stalking her threads [:

My Nomination for Most Improved of the Month is...
[i][/i] - Why

I can't answer this as I think everyone has been on their toes. I think it's due to how great everyone is at their characters and how excited everyone is for their threads. There is always at least 4-5 in character posts a day when I sign on. So, I can't answer that.

My Nomination For Female of the Month is...
Buffy Summers - I've always been a fan of Buffy, so when she was picked up and played, and played brilliently by Jenna, it was all kinds of awesome. The dynamic Buffy has with the Canon characters, as well as characters from other fandoms etc is just addictive, addictive as V.

My Nomination for Male of the Month is...
Lafayette Reynolds - I know Rabbit has only just returned and is getting back into the swing of things, but every time I read one of her Lala posts, I straight away hear Lala's voice in my head. The attiutde and the words, everything is just spot on with the character.

My Nomination for Member of the Month is...
Jenna - I know shes already been nominated, but I can't think of anyone else at the moment. Jenna is always a joy to thread with, and shes always up for talking over ideas and varies plots. Every thread I am in with Jenna is just brillient, especially the whole Faffy thread we have going at the moment!

My Nomination for Most Improved of the Month is...
Danika Pierce - Another character that I haven't seen about much just recently, which is a shame because I think the character was just starting to come into her own. When the player first joined she seemed shy, and maybe not as...wordy as most other players on the site. But her recent threads have been good reading, and I think the player has made a very good, hard effort to improve her skills.

If you haven't had a chance to nominate but still want to, do so now! I'm extending the deadline til tomorrow.
