AFTER PARTY:
Okay, it’s time to get things going.
Just a quick note to say that you’re free to carry on with current event threads, no need to rush them just because we’re going into the after party. Please take as long as you need to wrap up everything. Just make sure that everything is tagged clearly so that everybody knows when they're taking place/if they're flashbacks.
Don't forget to vote for Best Dressed Man, Best Dressed Woman, and Best Dates. Same process as before, just send it into my inbox when you're ready. All the information can be found in the 2024mobawardsattire tag.
Do not tag any after party outfits with that tag.
If you have any questions, just ask!

RULES & GUIDELINES.
The Awards were one of the most wonderful, nonsensical parts of the original Mob Scene’s run. All of us are aware it’s impractical, and would never happen in any real-life city, especially one overrun by monsters. Nobody is going to willingly offer up a ‘Biggest Villain’ award to one of the mob bosses without fearing for their lives, and nobody is going to get ‘Biggest Drug Addict’ without the police going, ‘wait, hang on a fucking second…’ It’s simply an event that exists for the fun of the players, and we always had just that. It’s an excuse for characters to get a giggle out of voting their friends for stupid awards before we get to play them out attending what became the most beloved social event of the Launceston era. Nobody takes it seriously, and bragging rights are the only real prize.
To make sure things run smoothly, however, there are a few rules and guidelines that one should consider throughout the process.
Any and all voting should be cast in character. This means just because you, the player, happen to think a French bro is deserving of the ‘Best Sense of Humour’ award, doesn’t mean that your lovely, anti-St. Clair, Russian loyalist is going to feel the same way. It’s kind of pointless making it an in-character event if you’re just going to vote for what you want as the player.
Please don’t vote for yourself, you vain little bitches. This is especially applicable when you have multiple accounts. Don’t use them to bolster the vote count for your other roles. Do not use multiple characters to vote for your ship.
Please try to make sure you meet all of the voting deadlines. This is important for my sanity, most of all. This applies both to the preliminary round in which the finalists are picked, and then the final vote. If you can do it as quickly as possible so I can even get a bit ahead, I'll love you even more, because I'm running on an incredibly tight schedule this year as I've had to bring it forward a week.
Please pick one name for every category. If you fail to do so, your entire ballot will immediately become void. I won't chase you up for a replacement answer. If your character doesn’t happen to know anyone in the finals for ‘Biggest Heart’ then just pick someone at random. Never leave a blank space. It ruins overall totals, and makes me miscount things.
You are allowed to vote as multiple characters. As stated earlier, you are allowed to vote from multiple characters. In fact, it’s encouraged that you do so! The more votes there are, the happier an admin I become.
Keep an eye on the updates. Although it isn’t compulsory to track it, I will be posting updates under the tag ‘2024AwardsUpdate’. You will be able to find these updates on the page itself under the category of ‘news’. This will be where I post deadlines, and general information about the event itself, the after-parties, best-dressed requirements, and other things that you’ll need to know to get the most out of the occasion.
The most important thing of all, though?
Have fun!
Remember that this is only meant as a joke. If your character doesn’t make it into any of the final categories? Have them throw a tantrum, have them make snide remarks about how the awards are bullshit, or perhaps graciously applaud those who beat them out. How they react is entirely up to you! But please never take it personally on an out-of-character level. It’s not intended that way, and it is never an attack on you as a player if your character comes up short in the vote count. ♥

2024 CATEGORIES:
To celebrate our 12th Anniversary, the awards are returning this March!
That means it’s time to start casting your initial votes. Please make sure to read the rules page here before doing so. The top four scorers from each category will move forward to the final round, where you will be able to vote for an overall winner. You can cast a ballot once as every one of your characters, so get submitting! The closing date for initial voting will be announced via the updates tag (#2024awardsupdate)
The submission form is below. Whilst I think all the categories are pretty self explanatory, if you’re confused or need an example of who would be fitting, just send an ask to the main and I can help you make a decision.
Please only submit one name per category, otherwise the first will automatically be chosen and the second ignored. You must include one name for each category. No exceptions. If you have multiple characters, you can submit multiple ballots in one entry. You don't have to send a separate forms. Just make sure I know which choices belong to which character.
Most Handsome Man
Most Beautiful Woman
Most Respected
Most Intimidating
Biggest Villain
Biggest Dumbass
Biggest Ego
Biggest Sass Queen

Extra Note:
Much in the same way as all the years before, we are also going to have three awards that you can vote for on the night. It isn’t compulsory to post an outfit before the event, but if you do, you become eligible to be voted for:
Best Dressed Woman
Best Dressed Man
Best Dates
PLEASE DO NOT VOTE FOR OPEN CHARACTERS. Try to keep it to taken/played roles/temporary/returning characters.
Have fun.
