The OOC Awards
Best Newcomer: Stacy Jones (Stacy Jones)
Stacy Jones wins a very tight two-woman race with 47% of the vote. Stacy has been a great addition to the PCW Community, jumping right in and volunteering for mule duties, is often one of the first to post in RP Central, and has jumped right into socializing with the rest of the forum goers. Thanks Stacy, and we're glad to have you in PCW.
The runner-up, Gem, received 41% of the vote. Derek [Cosmos] and Eden received 5% of the vote each.
While technically a new category, I'm going to combine it's lineage with the old Rookie to PCW/Efedding Award.
Past winners include: Tom; Brittany
Best Wrestler Gimmick: Nathan Saniti (Dan)
With 43% of the vote, Dan, with his character Nathan Saniti, wins the award for Best Wrestler Gimmick; This is Dan's first-time winning this award. Nathan can only be described as the love child of every Johnny Depp character and every Mother Goose rhyme. Condolences to the runner-up, Mike (37%), and congratulations to you, Dan.
Past winners include: High Tide; Puro Power; Areas; Q; NCM
Handlers with Best "Ring Chemistry": Nate and Mike (Grimm & Mr. Showtime)
With 37% of the vote, Nate and Mike win the award for Best Ring Chemistry. These two are no strangers to this award, having won it in at the 8th Icey Awards. Kris and Dan were the runners-up with 31% of the vote.
Past winners include: Mike & Nate; Q & N. Saniti
Most Innovative Writer: Dan (Nathan Saniti)
in·no·va·tion; [noun]; \ˌi-nə-ˈvā-shən\:
1. a new idea, device, or method
2. the act or process of introducing new ideas, devices, or methods.
Kris may have said it best:
Dan quite simply IS the most innovative writer in PCW. Being as his writing tends to demand of its reader(s) a high level of interpretation owing to the metaphor, allegory, and masterful wordplay.
Dan wins this award with a very commanding 68% of the vote. The only two other vote-getters were Rick [Majors] and Kris, with 12% and 18% respectively. This is Dan's first-time winning this award.
Past winners include: Mike; Shannon; Q; Tyler Scott
Most Improved Roleplayer: Dan (Nathan Saniti)
With 43% of the vote, Dan wins his third award of the cycle, this time for Most Improved RPer. Dan has made huge strides in regards to his roleplaying, creating interesting and creative stories. Dan has become very fluid in the presentation of his story and weaves the PCW Realm with his own eclectic universe nearly-flawlessly. If you haven't read a Saniti rp, maybe you should read one today. As an aside: all other nominees received at least 6% of the vote, with Jesse, the runner-up, receiving 25%. This is Dan's first-time winning this award.
Past winners include: J. Hicken; Rick; AD; Roy; Daniel; Mike; Q; Jesse {2x}
Most Underrated: Dan (Nathan Saniti)
In perhaps the strongest showing in The Iceys history, Dan wins yet another award- this time the Most Underrated Award. While every nominee received at least 6% of the vote (the runner-up, Stacy Jones, received 25%), Dan won with 31%. This has truly been a breakout Icey cycle for Dan, and I am glad that he is getting the attention that he deserves. Congrats. I expect big things in his future. This is Dan's first-time winning this award.
Past winners include: Jimmy; Mike; Kris; AD; Rick Majors
Most Reliable Handler: AD (Andy D)
Last cycle's winner, Nate, received 33% of the vote, enough for second in the polls. However, it was AD, also known as Ace Dagger, Andy D, and 2Guys, who walked out with the award for Most Reliable with 44%. Andy has always been one of the most consistent handlers we've ever had, in terms of both rper and being active on the community forums. Heck, this is even his second-time winning this award. We are glad to have you, Mr. D, congrats! Three other nominees (Kris, Rick [Majors], and Gem) received at least 5% of the vote.
Past winners include: Shannon; Rick (NCM) {2x}; Drew; Alex; AD; Nate
Biggest Post-Whore: Simon (Alexa Black)
Simon posts so much on the forums that in only a matter of two months, and without having ANY matches, he was able to rank in the Top 20 Forum Posters of All-Time. If that doesn't scream post-whore, I don't know what does. Simon, also known as Pieman and Alexa Black, won this award with an OOC Icey high of 77% of the vote. The runner-up, Luis, received only 16% and third place, Jesse, received just 5% of the vote. This is Simon's first Post-Whore Award.
Past winners include: Gerrid; Chrissy; Justin; Luis; Drew; M. Park; Rick (NCM); Tom; Dustin {2x}; Kris
