This award was highly contested, which I found quite surprising, as it requires strength as a pair! However, the winner and runner-up are almost painfully obvious, being my personal favourite district and the one with the most success in the Games covered by the actual books.
Best District: (+1)
Runner Up: One - Jamilla Argentaria and Cartier Graff (Zelda2h2)
Twelve - Hester Irving and Orion Osmont (MagmaKepner, TheDarkHorse)Though this award often goes to a writer unestablished to my Games who takes me by surprise (like the runner-up), I felt the need to highlight the progress of somebody else. Previously, this author hadn't had much success in my Games (or many I'd seen around me) but they showed clear improvement throughout this competition and charmed me with their efforts, very nearly making their way to Quarterfinals!
Dark Horse: (+1)
Runner Up: Calder Sertori (totallynotgerardway)
Scorpio Ramsey (TheFactionless)This next award actually does go to somebody new to my Games - I believe that's why it's called the Newbie award. Not only did this author have the most success, but they also remained involved after their eventual elimination. I'm very glad they managed to find their way to these Games!
Best Newbie: (+2) (+1 for runner up)
Runner Up: Marley Boxman (ccaayy)
Calder Sertori (totallynotgerardway)One of my favourite things about the Games lately are how pretty the names are. So many of them just have such a nice ring to them, which I've never understood because it's literally just an arrangement of letters. However, one did manage to stand out as my favourite, and not even because it was particularly pretty, but because Pokémon.
Best Name: (+1)
Runner Up: Maiesta Portuns
Lennox Riolu (Clove_Thenardier)This award goes to a character who sadly didn't make it very far after their writer dropped out, though I would've liked to see more of them. What actually sold me on the character, however, was how interestingly the first task (and the events before it) affected her.
Best Character: (+2) (+1 for runner up)
Runner Up: Annalise Lutz (jujukingofearth)
Winslet Lucerne (EverydayAwkwardness)With the amount of people who handed in at the last minute, it was extremely difficult to select a winner - eventually I had to go on my emails and look at who had the worst average time on handing in (up to semifinals). Really, the only reason I'm giving a point for this is because I'm impressed by the level of last-minute this is.
The Jack Award for Procrastination (+1):
Runner Up: Orion Osmont (TheDarkHorse) - 26
Jamilla Argentaria (SilverAndGoldfish) - 4This entry was full of splendid entries; you don't need to look any further than the amount of twelves I gave during the Games! And let me tell you, that's definitely out of character for me. Nonetheless, despite your all wowing me, some entries managed to amaze me even more than others.
Best Entry: (+2) (+1 for runner up)
Runner Up: Jamilla Argentaria (Task Six: Begin Again /QF) ~ SilverAndGoldfish
Winner: Orion Osmont (Task Five: Moving Day) ~ TheDarkHorseSurprisingly, despite the ridiculously high amount of people handing in at the last minute, the two authors who took two tributes actually managed to never hand in on the last day. Therefore, I decided to reward them for it, in particular the one who almost always had them in by the time the weekend came.
Bless You/Early Bird: (+2) (+1 for runner up)
Runner Up: ElfOfResilience (Kimiko Zhen and Delta Emerson)
Clove_Thenardier (Yuna Alvarez and Lennox Riolu)Very few tributes actually managed to survive voting more than once, so this award was tricky to give out. However, the difference between these two people was that one managed to get through on a tiebreaker and was only awarded half a round of voting.
Fan Favourite: (+1)
Runner up: Jamilla Argentaria (SilverAndGoldfish) - 1.5
Annalise Lutz (jujukingofearth) - 2Make sure to tune in an hour to spot our victor!
