Okay, Mithadan (the EmCee) has just keeled over ONSTAGE from having bitten into a poisoned apple handed to him by three disgruntled mods. Murther most foul, most unnatural! (How he can be killed when he is already dead, nobody has yet addressed, but hey, it was their poisoned apple, not mine.)

So...what's next? Do we resuscitate him? Avenge his death? String up Piosenniel, Bethberry, and Cami? Set the wolves on them? Go to war?

Call in the Barrow-Wight to adjudicate?

We can't just not-notice.

Yes... what exactly is supposed to happen? Or has Mithadan suddenly been called away and used the apple as an excuse? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Another question- is this going to be a re-rendition of Sleeping Beauty? I mean... Snow White. Curse these fairy tales! [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I have no idea! I'm just as much in the dark as you. But I love these surprises. They make RPG'ing interesting and fun.

For anyone who may care, my post presenting Orual's award has been edited and now has her acceptance speech, and something very important I forgot..... her song!

Enjoy!

EDIT: mark12_30, I know exactly what we should do. Not tell Chief Inspector Slack or Chief Inspector Craddock that we're doing it, but quickly call in Miss Marple!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Question: Exactly what awards are being given? I was never quite sure on that...

Award idea: Fad award! For Boromir the Disco King, Balrog Wings, Alecake and the like.

The awards were kept secret...I like the element of surprise! Most of the speeches have been really funny. I laughed out loud at Helkahothion's "Yeah Whatever" song. Great stuff. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

What has happened to the Birthday Party thread.....has it gone for good?

It's probably too late, but I'll volunteer for presenting an award.

The Party thread is closed and has been moved to Elvenhome.

On the first day of the Awards Show we PMed a number of members asking them to present awards. About half have failed to respond, so we put further awards on hold, hoping that the AWOL members would catch up.

If you have been asked to present an award, please do so today. If you volunteered but were not contacted, we apologize. We may send out some final requests today.

Blah...I missed the party.

Not to sound rather stupid but oh my goodness! Thank you so much for the Downie! I had resigned myself, as I said, to sitting with Ransom, maybe cheering if he got an award, and just giving good old-fashioned cheers for everyone else.

I promise I'll be here for next year's party though: I'm not playing softball next year.

The names of the Award creators will remain anonymous to protect the not-so-innocent. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

The thread will be open for one more day for the final Awards.

Okay...I'm a bit confused. People are 'leaving' the awards show, does that mean it is really over? Just tell me, as of today, are there any awards left? I am confused.

Yes. It was cute [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] !
