Unplugged! - "Good of the Tribe Award"

AWARDS UNPLUGGED: Where we take the Summer 2008 awards & break 'em down to "Tribe" references so you can see what each award refers to, then the defining moment that resulted in a character receiving this award.

"Good of the Tribe" Award

A lot of things happen for the good of the tribe. Taisan "realigned Lex's chakras" to keep peace among her tribemates (and keep him from outright attacking Zandra). Bray risked death to tell the Mallrats to fight on against the Guardian. It's a definite rephrasing of "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one."

ACE knew that particular lesson very well and illustrated it again & again. There've been many "Ace" personas since the Virus; each one has died for a cause, usually the continuation of his tribe the Death Seekers. Our most recent "Ace" was Alister, the love of Eris's life. For the good of the Death Seekers as well as the city, he took on a no-win fight with Tristan & died gloriously. It was a helluva fight. When the dust settled, a new Ace took up where the old one left off. For the good of the tribe...
