Patting Ourselves on the Back!

Twice a year, our rpg - "Keep The Dream Alive" - has a unique highlight. We call it the "Tribe Awards."

These awards give a well-deserved pat on the back to the players, characters, significant moments & bright spots that keep us playing year after year.

They also give a shout out to the great tv show that inspired us to start this craziness! Honestly, you'd be hard pressed to find a show to equal The Tribe. It was unique & fun, had great actors in memorable roles, and it brought us players together from all corners of the globe.

We're coming up on 5 years since the game started. We have almost 100 members, probably a couple dozen active players. Hehe... it's great!

Anyway, "Tribe Awards" ... Usually awards are determined by the awesome Council of Tribes. But for some reason, this year the Council decided to take a sabbatical. (There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that a tall ice-blonde was seen harrassing Council members with the point of a very wicked-looking blade!) To fill the gap, we game moderators threw decisions about awards to the players/members. Polls were created. Everyone voted their favorites. It was a wild ride. The voting was hot & fast & kept changing right up until the polls closed on August 8. But in the end, we did it and the awards were...well, awarded!

Winners have been announced in the game. Now I get the fun part, here, in Chyna's Closet. I get to analyze, comment & tease unmercifully! In the posts still to come, I'm going to break down the awards as I've done in the past. I'll reference game-threads & posts and...other things *evil leer*...that probably led to the votes going they way they did.

And, as always, we'll parallel The Tribe and see just how much we have in common after all.

Stay tuned! Hehe...you don't want to miss it.
