I need you guys to help me to think of some possible categories...
"Best space advertisement"
"OXP offering most punishment to a CPU"
"Finest abuse of the English language"
(My nomination would be Disembodied for "just a quick blip if I think he's looking a bit missiley". I'm still laughing at that one - and usually in crowded public places... )
Once we've got some nominations, we could run a poll. I'm not sure what the award statue would look like though.... Any ideas?
I do not think most buggy OXP should be an award... while people usually do sort out all bugs that they can, getting that award while you put in a great deal of effort would be quite bitter...
The award should look like a Trumble on a stick ("Get 'em while they're hot" - CMOT Dibbler)
I think it should look like a lightsaber in a stone. The stone should be labeled "the last space pocks sample" So if it brakes, you get space pocks. But there are few space pocks virus's left.
