**Skype call ringing**
: Heyy xof, sup?
: Dude, did you see the scummies ceremony thread yet?: Uh yeah? Why?: They forgot our Mish Mash awards! All 3 of them!: Ugh, seriously?: Yeah, they totally did. So fuck it, let's do our own ceremony. It's not like we actually have any idea what we're doing since it just got plopped in our laps like this, but I think we can make it up as we go.: Works for me! Can you handle doing the writing? I got a lot of school stuff and the Simvivor to write. I trust your judgement and abilities here. *sips soda near his computer*: Oh gosh youuu. But yeah, I can totally write everything up. I don't do anything. How hard can it be? It's not like I'm gonna get sick or anything, right? *coughs softly*
**Skype Call ringing**
: Sup, xof?: OKAY SO I CAN BREATHE AND SPEAK NORMALLY AGAIN: You were sick? Oh, soz. I didn't know.: How's your computer situation?: Haha, I'm not allowed to drink anything near it ever again.: Well fine then! I'm just gonna throw ideas at you and do everything myself. Gotta get shit done, son.: Haha, sure. I'm good to throw things at.
*xof walks out onto the shoddily constructed stage and stands in front of the second-hand podium*
"Uh, hi everyone.. It's really great to see you all here tonight. I know there was absolutely no notice or anything so it's okay if you're only going to see the recorded version of this later."
*camera pans across a collection of folding chairs and lawn chairs haphazardly strewn across the room. Very few are occupied*
"Um well okay, I guess I'm going to get this started by introducing the first presenter. Since it was such quick notice, I've asked my close personal friend animorpherv1 to present this first award."
*spotlight shines on Ani as he grumpily trudges towards the podium*
"I could be playing League right now, xof. I don't even remember what these awards are. We've never had more than one if that ever."
*in unison from the audience a group of hecklers all shout "LEAGUE SUCKS"*
*Ani glares at the audience before reading off his cue cards*
"Fine, whatever. Our first award is for the Best General Mish Mash Game. We had a lot of really strong competitors for this Mashtermind award. This award goes to....
Kublai Khan for Guess the Movie from the Screenshot
Judging Panel says wrote:KK's been running this game for about 3 years off and on. It's really simple, but everyone seems to have a good time with it. To actually get screencaps that are first good quality, but second don't immediately give the movie away is some real dedication. They're just a-door-able.
*xof takes the cue cards from Ani as he grumbles his way off the stage and back into the audience*
"Uh, hi again. Next we have the Best Large Social Game. And well, I was hoping to be able to get one of my co-mods come and present this, but I guess I don't have any! We had a few Survivor games run this year, and just want to thank the mods for their efforts in making these games run. And also thank Ceph for all of his tireless efforts in this job before me. Couldn't have done this without you forging the path to follow. But okay! Without further ado, our winners of this award... oh..
xofelf, Nicholas1024, and CuddlyCaucasian for Arkham City Survivor
Judging Panel says wrote:Out of the games nominated, this one was unafraid to take risks and broke the mold.
*xof stands there a little awestruck for a bit before picking up the cue cards again*
*Before she can continue, Xalxe runs up the stage stairs and takes the cards right out of her hands*
"I cannot believe that you would run a Mish Mash awards ceremony without including one of its former Janitors! You go sit down and I will present this last one."
*xof shrugs and goes and takes a seat*
*Xalxe tosses the cue cards across the stage and saunters to the center of the stage*
"A true Mish Mash Mod wouldn't need these, honestly. This last reward goes to the user who has made Mish Mash a much better place. They make every thread they enter a better place. People play games that they're running or playing in simply because they're there. They have greatly contributed to the community in some large way that deserves to be recognized. It is my great pleasure to present...
The Smash Mouth Award to StrangerCoug
Judging Panel says wrote:The onsite Mish Mash games wouldn't be the same if not for SC. He does a lot for this community, and took over as Janitor when no one else could. And he should be recognized for his contributions.
*Xalxe glides off the stage as xof steps back up to the podium*
"Well that's all we have for you tonight! Thank you again for coming out tonight. And I hope we have another great year in Mish Mash with lots of amazing games and memories made. I'm xofelf, and I bid you all a goodnight from the Mish Mods!"
**Skype call ringing**
: Oh my god CC, where the fuck were you? You were supposed to present with me tonight!: Oh shit, you were doing that tonight? I uh.. was distracted.: What could have possibly distracted you from this? This had better be good.: It is! You see.. I met this girl tonight..: There's always some girl.: No man, like. She was talking about how she was really into One Night Ultimate Werewolf. And she was really hot. So I just casually mentioned how I'm a moderator on a forum for games like that. And that's how I scored tonight.: ...Man I want to be mad at you, but I can't blame you for that at all. Nice dude. Next year though, you better be there.
And we also learned that apparently I remembered the album art to Astro Lounge entirely wrong. So backup idea didn't work either.
