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?

"Most buggy OXP"
"Strangest topic posted on Outworld"
"Starting topic which as most number of posts" (YAH can win this only once!)
"Smallest OXP which adds most new functionality to the game"
"Most outlandish request in the suggestion box"
The award should look like a Trumble on a stick ("Get 'em while they're hot" - CMOT Dibbler)

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...

@Frame - apologies that should be:
"Most buggy OXP"
i.e. a tongue-in-cheek joke.

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.
Don't panic: FSOneblin

Why not make the awards suited to the thing they're for?
Like, smallest oxp would be an ummm...oxp icon engraved in stone or somesuch.

How about a nifty graphic that people can slap on their web site. Say the oolite logo with the year? Saves on postage.

judging by the number of posts - no - perhaps it'll be reinvigorated?
