RE: [dq] Awards QueryI have to admit to being an attendee that leaves =

this is for one simple reason and that is that I personally object to =
the "Stupidest Adventurer" award all this does is encourage bad play =
from people who are too scared to do things incase someone tells stories =
that make them look bad at the DQ meeting. I play DQ to have fun and I =
don't find listening to ppl being belittled at all amusing.
I don't understand why we can't have one or two awards that are for best =
characterisation / funniest and keep the star of alusia=20

Seriously, I agree with Mandos that it is partially an effect of =

I have in the past made nominations not in the expectation that they =
would win, but because it's a good story to share. This format tends to =

I'll seriously consider any suggestions put forward. However I think a =

Of course not! Slow roasting is the scheduled punishment. ;-)=20
