EWI for 2008-Present for TCW and FWRFed

Welcome to the EWI 2008 awards! It's been a while since we've had this, but Lance gave me permission to go ahead and run this. Here's a crash course: EWI is an awards show for both e-feds, TCW and FWRFed. Simply put, you cast your votes on your favorite wrestlers/happenings/whatever in the categories below, I count 'em up, and then post the results in a nice and neat presentation.

The Rules: Send in ONE (1) voting form only. PM your forms to me, Kamaria, and I'll count them. Multiple entries are not accepted. And although you can technically vote for yourself, we STRONGLY discourage doing so. You will have exactly three weeks to send in your votes. Any questions and such, or if I've made a mistake somewhere, just PM me and I'll answer! Official Deadline is now April 8th, 2009.

Below are the categories for EWI 2008:

Category 2: Most Popular Feuder
This is an OOC award. Pick three members of the community (they don't necessarily have to be active feuders) who have contributed to the OOC environment in a positive manner, and whose non-feuding posts you enjoy reading.

Category 3: Most Improved
We all have to start somewhere, and it takes a while to get into this game. Some pick it up faster than others though, and this is the award that recognizes these individuals. Pick three feuders who you think have noticeably improved since the start of the year.

Category 4: Most Over Babyface
Wrestling is made from good guys and bad guys. For this award, pick your three top babyface characters from either fed. We know who is what alignment, so don't put any heels or tweeners here, or the vote won't count. This award is to recognize the characters who have stuck to their guns and done the right thing in their feuds and matches.

Category 5: Most Over Heel
The opposite of the above award. Pick three of the nastiest, most evil heel characters from either fed. Once again, any votes for faces or tweeners won't be counted.

Category 6: Most Over Tweener
Tweeners need love too! Pick three of your favorite 'shades of gray' wrestlers who are the best at being the best of both worlds.

Category 7: Funniest Feuder
Comedy feuding is an e-fedding tradition as old as calling Coren a girl. For this award, pick your three top feuders who make you laugh. They don't have to be comedy characters, just guys who bring the funnies in their feuding.

Category 8: Best Side Character/NPC
This award is to recognize the little guys. Pick your three favourite characters that are not main feuding characters. They can be NPCs, members of staff for either fed, or all those flunkies and sidekicks that show up in everyone's feuds.

Category 9: Rookie of the Year
This award is for the newbies. Pick your three favourite feuders (NOT characters) who joined either fed after January 1st 2008.

Category 10: Match of the Year
This award is for the unsung heroes who actually have to write the damn shows. Pick your three favourite match write-ups from any show in either fed (please specify the participants and the show on which it occurred).

Category 11: Feud of the Year
Perhaps the most prestigious award apart from Wrestler of the Year, this award is for the guys who got together and did something special in a feud. Pick your three best feuds (please specify the participants and the show on which it occurred) from either fed.

Category 12: Best Video
Pick your favorite entrance video, promo video, or whatever video made after January 1st! Pick your top three from the following:


-Kermit return promo


-The Hunter Tron


-Inferno Tron


-Shamrock Mystery Vignette 1


-Shamrock Mystery Vignette 2


-Shamrock Mystery Vignette 3


-Road to Glory Promo


-Mohawk Tron


-Endgame Teaser


-Endgame Full Promo


-Izumi 1st Tron


-Freya Tron


-Indigo Tron


-NHFC Tron


-DeSean Tron


-Red Barker 1st Tron


-William 'The Future' Shamrock Tron


-Red Barker 2nd Tron


-Izumi 2nd Tron

Category 13: Angle of the Year
Both feds are full of great storylines, but not all of them last long enough to count as an 'angle' - an angle is a storyline that spans a number of feuds; one which doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the people the writer is feuding with at the time (though it should incorporate them). What won't be counted as an angle is anything like "so and so wants the world title" - a character wanting to advance his career is considered a default motivation, and doesn't require any special skill to maintain over a period of time. Obviously not every story is an 'angle' by this definition, so below are included a list of storylines from both feds that lasted a number of sessions. This list is not exhaustive. It's very likely we left a few angles out, so feel free to add your own, but note that if we decide it doesn't fit the definition above, then the vote won't count.

-MacDonald elected President; Goes on an anti-TCW crusade
-Izumi searches for the Antichrist
-The second Masked Man
-The Hunter revealed
-NHFC Reunion/feud with Technical Perfection
-Plausible Deniability's return
-Commissioner Powers controls FWRFed
-FWRFed vs. TCW (including the Indigo saga)
-Who killed Crazy Hobo???
-Lord Abortion
-The Darklings
-Dante steals the Promethean Ring
-Jack Jackson returns to managing
-Malaki turns Mohawk into a monster
-Stern tries to drum the NHFC out of TCW

(The form will be on the next post!)

I'm voting; how about YOU?

Pat and the Mark of Silence are the same character, btw.

Fixed.

Am I allowed to vote in this, since I'm running it? <.<

Yes.

IMPORTANT: The Angle list has been updated.

Anybody who has voted already can change their vote for that category if they desire.

Updated main post again with the actual date of the deadline.

Is nobody else planning to vote? Time is running out.

I'll probably vote this weekend.

Please note that I can see who has not voted and can fuck with your accounts accordingly!

wow, I love the free will. I haven't had much time, but might tonight.

Free will is an illusion created by man to confuse you into believing in his gods!

Except Thor, right? Thor's real.

Duh.

Hey, how come you changed my title! I -DID- vote! x.x

Strikmore.

Abuse of power! Abuse of power!

I'll vote later tonight.
