Hey everyone!

As some of you may know I will be hosting the defender awards this year. While exact dates are still TBD because I need to work things around my IRL schedule, I figured I would get yall's thoughts on the awards for this year. They will almost certainly happen in July though. So far the one new addition I am thinking of is adding a live awards show at the end to announce the winners. A Discord server for that is currently in the making. I posted this earlier today in TRR and there seems to be a relative consensus that scrapping the Meltdown of the Year award due to its mean-spirited nature, potential blending of IC/OOC problems and glorifying of toxicity is a good idea. Any additional thoughts from 10ki?

The idea is "we should respect our enemies off the battlefield." Which I understand as someone whose moral objection to raiding does not extend to believing that raiders are bad people or bullies irl. Personally I see both sides of this. And the award was frequently used to troll TBR and co back in the day according to Karputsk.

As far as I can tell, the award is likely to stay due to the majority of folks I've talked to about this in public and private wanting it to stay. Though personally, I would like to see a troll nomination win. Kind of like the last time I hosted when Hakke nearly won with the justification that he was a "Personal Space Invader."

It was during update earlier this year I think. It seems like it was right after the last awards.

"We're now in the business of raiding and then libbing so that we can pat ourselves on our backs and tell the world what good defenders we are"

There. Now in copypaste-able form. I love it. Thanks for that Hakke
