Hi all,
So in line with as has been the tradition in previous years, we need a new special award for this year's Darkies, so I thought I'd ask you all for suggestions. Bonus points if they relate to the history of 667's 20 years in some way.
Brainstorm/post suggestions here, and I will then create a poll where the category can be voted on.
-Bee
Edit: Most Compassionate will be renamed, 'The Hermes Award for Most Compassionate' in his honour, similar to The Linda Award, so we have taken care of that.

Best Artist should be renamed The Violent Bun Fortuna Award for Best Artist…Or do you have to die to have an award named after you?

We already have Best Pairing for positive relationships, how about Best Rivalry for the 667ers with the most beef?

Best Philosopher, in honor of the fact that last year we had a Lemony Snicket publication related to philosophy.

Great suggestions guys, keep them coming. Will make a poll middle of next week, so if you could aim to have them all by Wednesday or so that would be great.

It's a difficult concept. Rewarding the worst pairing includes acknowledging that pairing exists and that it doesn't work well... Why reward it? This doesn't add any value to the forum, and as a special award it's not a good thing, neither for the last year nor for the 20 years that have passed. Even rivalries and enmities add value to the forum, and the award for best pairing can be awarded to this type of relationship.

We already have best writer and best artist, so what about Best Theorist?

I really liked this idea. But I think the Best Volunteer award already covers a lot of the best theorist. After all, it is no wonder that Dante has won this award so many times. (And I already won too).

Are we supposed to film setting ourselves on fire? No?? I thought that something Snicketesque — dark, but also a little absurd — would be appropriate for an anniversary year such as this. Thus, my suggestion. (Also, I feel that it works best as two awards, so I'm leaving my suggestion the way it is.)
