Breaking down the Summer 2009 "Tribe Awards" presented to KTDARPG players by the votes of their fellow players, with tributes to the show that continues to inspire us!
Category: Best WriterWinner: Chyna -and- Eris_the_beginner
Runner Up: Joseph Charles Smith
This is a hard category to gauge. Everyone who plays in our KTDARPG game-world is by definition a Great Writer. Their ideas & words build the landscape, create the characters and bring the game to life.
Such a life!
Our players have created loves, laughter, anger, rage! Fort River has experienced amazing highs like the Winter Solstice Celebration ... and amazing lows like the lynch-mob scene that was brutal and horrible and real. They don't shy away from the hard calls. Sometimes the words they put into their characters' mouths are equally harsh but very representative of what kids would say in these circumstances. The love scenes are romantic and warm and memorable. The death scenes are also memorable (and thank goodness they don't happen as often). Everything in between is LIFE.
That's what our players and their writing skills do best. Bring everything to LIFE.
So when the votes were in, I was very proud & humble to have been honored with first-place along with a partner of mine, Eris_the_beginner. Readers know Eris as the creator/author of "Tristan" (our Most Zoot-like Character). Readers know me mostly for the characters "Valentine," "Jade," and the ever-insane "Villa."Our runner up is relatively new to the game & a fast-riser. Jow's characters are noteworthy. The possibly psycho tribe leader of the Moths "Crux," the blind soldier among The 100 "Luz," the brave soul who tried to protect his sister then lost her and his life only to be resurrected as "Novus." There's more. I'm thinking, with Jow, there will always be more/better/stronger.
The truth of it is, every single player in KTDARPG earns the title "best writer" every time they post. You're all fantastic. Thank you!
