Unplugged! - "Tribe Flashback 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.

Tribe Flashback Award

"The Tribe" Season-2 was filled with flashbacks - what Martin was like when he was just Bray's younger brother, before he became Zoot; how Ebony played off one brother then the other, a game at which Trudy was pretty good too; what Lex endured in the military-style training camps, and how he & Ryan became friends; how Zoot rose to power & tried to train Ebony if she wanted to be "his woman"; how Joffa became the Guardian. The details & color these flashbacks added to the tapestry of Tribe-world was amazing.

TRISTAN has been using the art of the flashback to very good effect in our game. Bit by bit, we're learning about the past of the Harbingers, now called "The 100," and the heir who lost a kingdom because of one girl. We're also learning in incredible detail what made Tristan the man he is today. This is the kind of thought-provoking, disturbing & totally believable character development that really adds all kinds of shades of gray & depth to our game-world and our game. Very nicely done.
