Best Metaphor

Who: UglyInbredGeorge
What: Best Metaphor
Why: "Consider this metaphor, Simon: You are a little German boy. Your belly is full of chocolate. You pat your belly and sing little German boy songs as you waddle up and down the street in your knee high socks. What's that noise? Who's that around the corner? It's an American soldier. He is liberating your town. Good luck, Simon. No more chocolate for you." source

Best Event

Who: TheDude

What: The Gutter Saints Invitational Bowling Tournament (link)

Why: It was fun, TheDude put in a lot of effort and it generated a good amount of engagement in the streets and lounge.  It could be this one or The Boxing event really, but I choose this one since its already concluded.

Best Concept

Who: Natasha (TonyTheTailor, milk, others)

What: The Gulag

Why: Not really sure how to go about this nomination. But I think the idea of The Gulag and the general mythos that has come from it is something special. I believe Natasha created it, but it has been expanded on by different people in different threads and everyone apart of it has contributed to its lore in some way. It's a unique idea, it's been fun to read, and has created an interesting bit of community culture. It's also been open to anyone who wants to participate.

Most high profile murder.

Who: Shane_Stetson and UglyInbredGeorge

What: A case of auditing gone awry. Shane Stetson shoots PeacefulGeorge.

Why?: A spriteful spark is snuffed out as a fearsome reputation is carved.

I think it would be cool to have winners for statistics players can't see. A few things come to mind: Most characters(who died the most), most time played, messages sent, messages received, Fastest credit claim on lounge (admin/non user generated credits only), most trivia questions answered in a row, most successfull player PP's (maybe not this one, might out stealth PP'ers)...thats all I got for now. Only things that wouldn't negatively effect anyone having everyone know about it. So gun stats and such are out, obviously. I think its possible there are loopholes I missed that might make some of this more sensitive than I realize so maybe this is just a bad idea...

I like that idea BigEasy.  Since there is already the raw data for all of these:  what (master account) was the most active in main would be interesting to see, call it the "chatter box award."  Most popular (based on number of replies) street thread of the year with a link to the thread.  Jail breaker of the year would also be a good one.  A more humorous one would be "Biggest Loser" based on total gambling losses.  The "Lucky Duck"  for the person who took home the biggest lottery win.  A community engagement award, for the person who made the most (quality) street posts based on engagement in their threads "Mafia Pulitzer".  

I like the subjective awards too but some objective awards would be cool to see as well.  

"You Wouldn't Believe it, Unless You Saw it" of the year:

Who: OdinProtsent (Peter, Pops)

What: Getting 1% by the FBN not once, but twice in a row. 

Why:  He entered the gulag as Peter, got a 1% and then comes back as Pops only to get 1% again after receiving $xxx million in donations from friends of his father's.  

Who: Shane_Stetson
What: The Boom Crew
Why: Running the best crew.

Who: Shane_Stetson

What: The Boom Crew

Why: Running the best crew.

My name is Shane Stetson, and I endorse this message.

Who: LadyFighter
What: Best New Grandma AND Dogmom of 2025
Why: Whats better than fresh baby pictures? Fresh Puppy pictures! And LF? She shares both. Plus her Son wore really cool socks at his wedding and theres no way he got that kinda style from anywhere else except his mother. 

But Seriously. Adorable Grandbabbies & Adorable Puppers. 

Who: Big_Jason
What: Most Improved RPer 
Why: Jason has really thrown himself into posting in the business district this year. And while sometimes his ducking in and out of various establishments can be hard to watch and questionable in regards to having any sort of robotoic help, you have to give it to the man... He does a lot of fucking drugs. In the threads, and possibly in real life. But hey, He's writing, its an improvement and he's now showing up a lot of people in the game. 

So in summary, 

I'll take the bag of money. I'm out of here.

So in summary, 

Who: TonyTheTailor

What: MVP

Why: It feels like recently game mechanics have been dominating the outside conversation space. I believe that regardless of any coding changes(cool or uncool) it would still be the Streets that make this game unique and special. I think there are a lot of different tastes and flavours when it comes to the Streets. Some like their deeply immersive Mafia RP, some like their Si’s and Georges. I think regardless of flavour(I quite like Tony’s), consistency and activity are their own paramount. With this in mind, I would like to nominate TonyTheTailor for the MVP award. Check him out. Threads / Posts: 26 / 148 . Out there day 3, still out there day 174. He probably does it because he enjoys it, but I think someone being out there consistently is very valuable to our way of life. He’s also done a decent a job at managing his districts job sponsorship coverage and I’m fairly certain I’ve seen him yapping in Lounge everyday that I’ve been alive. So much engagement. It it is for these reasons I am nominating TonyTheTailor for the MVP award.

Who: Katerina

What: The Great Rogue and Saviour

Why: Many people may remember a very dark time in this world of ours, people being killed for unknown bloodlines, or just generally being shot once they reach 30 days, it was a bad time for all. being held back at wise guy? questioned on your bloodline on the day of creating an account, talk to much in main? you'd be shot. thought you were safe if you got a hand position wrong, all while being thanked in your funeral with a note NoWS needed.

Well Katerina put an end to this, a small group of people, joined with another small group of people which in turn joined another small group of people to over turn this poor regime plaguing our streets.
