Arc 1 Serena results!

[Anastasia]

Combat, Sailors only!

Best speech:

Kotono's bedwetting speech! Getting no competition of note, the blonde terror takes this one home! Um, maybe she can take Hot-chan out for ice cream to apologise, huh?

Worst speech:

Kotono's bedwetting speech and Mako's speeches are tied. With a few novotes in this category, the two remembered take home the gold. I don't have anything witty here, which fits the spirit of bad speeches?

Coolest person/most inventive in combat:

Hotaru and Makoto tie for the win with two votes each! Congratulations to both of you on good combat work. May you kick ass in the most stylish way possible, and hopefully not on your nice and kind GM!

Least inventive in combat:

Rei-chan takes this one in a sweep. This isn't a surprise, I admit I got lazy with her as the game went on. Fire's hard to use effectively, and her mindset is simply to burn away what offends her. While effective, it's dreadfully boring.

Best critical hit:

Usagi's first youma and Hotaru killing Misuki win this one cleanly. Considering how split this was in general opinion, this tie makes perfect sense. Both of you got lucky at the right time and used it to help redefine your PCs. Well played.

(Lucky.)

Worst failure of dicing:

Black Hole Buster, do you dig it? While I'm tempted to pass this one off onto Usagi entirely, Kotono gets to share this award as well. Horrible time for a botched roll. Um, just don't drink to forget it, huh? <_<

(Unlucky!)

Best in battle:

In a hotly contested category, Usagi wins!  While not the most stylish or inventive, she excelled at all aspects to take home the Queen of Combat award. Good show, rabbit.

Worst in battle:

Eh heh heh heh. Well? I'm not surprised - for all I play Kotono over the top RPwise, I tend to restrain her a bit in battle. This partly for sanity, partly to prevent her from coming off as favored unfairly, and partly just character balance. She's not too lucky withthe dice, either, but I don't mind.

Combat, NPCs/other!

Best in battle:

Nior takes this one home with minimal competition.  This is a no surprise one, and to quote Nior himself: "....good." Even the strong silent types like praise, right?

Worst in battle:

Janna and Mamoru get to split this one! I'll just let them say it all.

Janna: Duh. If I didn't get this I'd probably be dead. Hey, if I was still on Earth, do this little Usa-er, Serena statues sell for much?

Mamoru: ...

Actually, Mamoru has no comment. I guess I don't blame him, and we all know how he went down.

NPCs!

Best NPC:

Will anyone be surprised when I say Queen Serenity. I'll just take it as a compliment that I succeeded with her beyond my wildest dreams. I really redeemed the tarnished image of Queenie from Game 1, and this thrills me.

Worst NPC(For best and worst, who you objectively think was the best/worst developed and executed NPCs. Subjective is below.):

This was a battle royale! Lots of views here, but the winner is...Mamoru! Poor guy. At least he has shiny Usagi heads to cheer him up?

Favorite NPC:

Serenity! While this one was MUCH closer, she came out with a narrow plurality win in the end.

Least favorite NPC:

There is no clear winner here. No one got more than one vote, and there were several with 1 or 1/2 vote.  Feel free to check my vote notes after if you're curious, but I'll call this one a no contest without a clear winner.

Wanted to see more of NPC:

The Mothers and Chikako narrowly, barely win out. This one is a stretch since there is one vote for all of them and one for Chikako, but I'll take it. This is a given, though I'm going to try to work with each one noted. Thanks!

Wanted to see less of NPC(Be honest here, the feedback is good for Arc 2):

Just like Serenity, are we surprised Beck won here. I don't mind it - he was certainly well played for what he was. The problem is what he was. <_<

Villians!

Best Villian:

I'll admit. It's gratifying to see Jadeite win this. After all the work I put into him...but anyway, yeah. I'll send the award down to Hell for him.

Worst Villian:

Kensuke narrowly edges out Arieta for the win! Yeah, I fucked him up. I'll send this one to...huh. Not sure where he'd end up, but whatever. It'll get to him sooner or later, right? That's what Kotono says, and her big books of the planes has to be true, huh?

Most liked villian:

Nior! Huh. I thought Misuki would've stolen this one in a close competition or maybe a throwaway youma, but he came out of nowhere. Honestly, I associate him so strongly with his 'good' persona that I didn't even t hink he's place here. Well, congratulations anyway!

Most hated villian:

Jadeite! SECONDED on this end. Asshole, bastard and one that could've been so much better than his fate. At least he did kill Metallia in the end, a small consolation to so many his deeds touched.

Best in battle:

Hum. It appears a ninja dicebot has stolen this award. Oh well. Go Misuki? But anyway, I'm glad she got it. Her concept of a out of wack ACV/DCV worked better than I could've ever dreamed in every aspect.

Worst in battle:

Eleni, aka the T*A pusher! Yeah, she got oooowned something bad. I admit she was a bit of a throwaway agent, but damn you girls mulched her. That reminds me, I need to establish what she's doing on Earth now. Never got around to it.

Best fight overall:

The last battle with Jadeite. This isn't a surprise to me, at least. That was one of the most insanely epic, intense and heart stopping confrontations I've ever seen. Over a year of RPing cumulated in everything trying to strike him down.

PCs, general stuff!

Most defining PC moment, any:

Oi. This is a huge split. I think Usagi's opening critical narrowly wins, but it's too contested to really award it out. Instead, I'm going to award it to the entire PC cast and congratulate all of you. The fact that each of you has so many scenes that an be looked back on so well is a testament to how well you've RPed.

Most strange/OOC moment:

None! This is a good thing.

Luckiest with the dice PC:

Usagi hops off with this award. RABBITRABBITRABBITFOOT. Ahem. I don't thinks he was even lucky as much as was consistent. Hell, even with the worst dicing failure under her belt, she still nabbed this.

The Dice Bitch(TM):

Oh Mako-chan. Don't worry, it' sokay!  Really! So what if you had bad luck? You're still awesome. Really. Just...stay over ther ein case the dice luck is contagious, huh?! <_<

Favorite PC to RP with:

Mako-chan! Congratulations, girl, and just have this one on your mantle instead of Dice Bitch. This was another split category, as well as with an 'all' vote.

Least favorite PC to RP with(Be nice and say why. Again, feedback is good for all. I debated having this one in since I don't think it's needed for this game, but I'm curious on the answer. I think least is relative here.)

A three way tie between Kotono, Rei, and Hotaru. Each was with reasons on why and good feedback, so I consider the category a success. Heed the words given for better and worse.

Best PC overall:

Kotono-chan!

Okay, I'll cut the ditzy IC speech to just not. I admit this one got a few passes and a vote for Ami, but overall, this one is gratifying in it's way. Kotono's really close to me for various reasons, and it really feels -nice-.

Okay, ego sunning over. Sorry.

OOC!

Best player overall:

There were a lot of passes and hedges here. I don't think anyone wants to really name one since all are good and it's hard to play favorites in this sort of field. However, Hotaru did get a vote so she'll get it. Congratulations, Hot-chan!

I also take it as a good thing overall that this went this way.

Best RPer:

All! Seriously, the only noteworthy vote was for everyone, so I'll put it in the #mk as a nice testament to everyone RPing well. <_<

Omakes!

Best omake:

No clear winner. Everyone had favorites, but they tended to be pretty distinct. This makes sense - the reasont o really love an omake tends to be very personalised.

Worst omake:

Makoto and Hotaru die on Red Earth. This was a slightly generic omake on the fly that turned into a mess with a horrible dicing battle. One of the few likely omake deaths/wipes, it was the result of a few unlucky 2s and 12s. I kinda wanted to see if you two could dig out of it, but I don't blame you for calling it a loss. Fair enough.

Funniest omake:

Another inconclusive split. See best omake since all that applies to here.

Shittiest omake:

No clear winner again. A lot of passes and a few minor votes. Overall eh.

Biggest clusterfuck omake:

See above!

Other!

Favorite Misukibot incarnation, huh?!: No clear winner, but boy Misukibot isn't popular. She says you're all frigid bitches. Especially Rei-chan. Bitch. Lesbian whore. Stupid-you get the idea.

Favorite dicebot:

Rei-chan!  Ami and Reiko get the honorable mentions of dicebot hood. Good for those soulless...things? Yay? I'm sure Rei-chan can play with her award while she imagines if she was still a real girl, huh? <_<
