I think we should have some more award shows in the game. And a bit more often. Cuz I've been here for about 4 months now, and I've only seen one award show, and that was the Hot Topic one that happened not even a week ago. I'm just saying this cuz it will make the roleplay thread better, cuz it kinda sucks right now, and they should be some more certain genre awards like Best Rock Song or Best Pop Album.

The only award show I've ever seen DONE on here is the Hot Topic ones. But what I was asking is if there are more shows on here than Hot Topic. Cuz I've been on here fairly long enough to be a standard member, and now I know two shows, IMA and Hot Topic.

I'm not starting an award show, cuz a. I'd probably be a bit too biased on certain artists, b. it would take a while for the show to get respected, and c. well, I think that's it. Also, now I know 3 award shows, Hot Topic, IMA, and Birdies. But what I meant is that, well, it's kinda been a really long time, and roleplay has been dying out in the last 2 months, and I really think some big extravaganza could help things out.

ah, I remember seeing that a few weeks ago. So that's four shows.

ah, so there's only 3 then, and just recently seeing The Mother Fuckin' Rock Awards thread just now, it's kinda hard rock/metal centric.

The only shows from the HTC Awards that I would consider successful are the 1st and 2nd Ceremony. From there it went downhill in a sad way. The third one was going to be off the hook, I made cool videos and everything, but people didn't appreciate the hard work that went to that one and quickly lost interest. The same thing for the 4th one (Which in my opinion if it happened was going to be better than the Birdies) Since no one showed interest I gave up on them.

And It's not that the award shows are wack, is that People (Like Bikz) can't stand the fact that there is another award show running other than the Birdies (which I find stupid). The Birdies are great and all but the process of it has already bored me. Why? Well because The Birdies are the only award shows that run. (Even though I won three awards) the latest Birdies in my opinion are a great example why the Birdies are getting more boring every time.

The problem is the process of the nominations. No recognition whatsoever unless you "Shamelessly plug in (A lazy way to make nominations)" Something HTC Awards never did.

Anyway, I'm just giving my honest opinion of The Birdies and their reputation is the only that's saves the award show in my opinion.

Anyway,

The Real HTC Awards will be back in February 2010 (The good one not the Pop Honors). This will the 3rd and probably my last attempt. on saving the award show.

I would do loads to improve the nomination process. Instead of "Shamelessly pluggin in" have judges look into other people's thread and see who really deserves the nomination. Have the nominations feel like a surprise. It can get pretty predictable who is going to be nominated with the "Plug In Thread", which is the reason why It getting boring. I think people will appreciate nomination a little more if they found out they are nominated by surprise.

And if that's too hard.

Instead of people posting on which categories they should get nominated. Have people post on which artist they think "Judges should look into". Just the names and that's it. Have the judges do the research.


AND THEN, after the nominations are announced
have people say why they think they should win.

That would make the Birdies an awesome more respected award show. And not just respected for its reputation.

1. Not that difficult. I did it.....by myself. It's called team work. The search button up top is good tool, (Something I used). Just put down the name of the artist and look at the threads. Assign the artist and bands to each judge, You can divide the number to each.
2. Well obviously and someone you plugs in an artist that doesn't RP than they should not be nominated in the first place.

The Birdies have been great since I signed up, and were great long before that. I don't think, personally, that they need to be changed. I'm glad to be more involved with it recently, too, but Bikz will always be the star of the show.
