The Fifth Annual Buffy-Boards Awards Ceremony Thread

[Black Eye Guy]

Unfortunetly Kean couldn't be here at the moment, she's afraid to come out of hiding after seeing Buffys shoe!

So I will accept this award on her behalf.

I think she would like to thank all the members here. And unfortunately I can't put it in a dignified manner like her, but I believe she'd like to say:

Suck it Spuffys!

 

[Kean]

I'm here, here! A little breathles but I'm here!

Ok I'll make this quick, thanks to whoever nominated me and equal thanks to those that voted for me! I hope I can continue to drive you all insane with my ramblings for years to come!

Cheers lads!

 

[Black Eye Guy]

Oops,

::Hands award to her::

See more dignified!

 

[Angelic Slayer]

A Bangel Fan won? Now that's what I like to see! 😉 Oh and just a note to whomever nicked the liquor bottles; the bar would like at least a *few* of them back for everyone else....

Moving on, it's time for another new category this year: the Lorne Award! This new category is for BB's Greenest Member! This person has taken a stand to raise awareness about our population of Green-Pylean Buffy Fans and promote equality between our Pylean and Earth-born members. Without them, Pyleans like Lorne may never have found their calling as Singers, Lawyers, IRS Agents and....

**Suddenly the inspirational background music comes to a screeching hault, and the handsome Alpha stumbles onto stage and quietly pulls Angelic Slayer aside. The crowd looks on in confusion as the two have some kind of heated argument and Black Eyed Guy shakes his head from the far side of the stage (muttering something about rehab?)

Finally Angelic Slayer, now a darker shade of red, sets down her martini and takes her place by the microphone once again**

Erm, sorry folks, there seems to have been a bit of a misunderstanding. Now presenting the Lorne Award for BB's Friendliest Member! This BB-er is always ready to welcome new members and does their best to give a pleasant greeting to anyone they come across. The nominees for this year's friendliest member are....

HisMrs
Tasha
Wishing Oceans
MinwaraYana
Joan the Vampire Slayer
ubi4soft
Aly Fan

 

[Angelic Slayer]

and the Buffie goes to...........

Congratulations HisMrs! I know you're somewhere out there in the audience, come on up and say a few words! 🙂

 

[BuffyElevated]

*blinks as her name is called* Whoa, really?? WOW!!
*stumbles up the stairs to the stage, grinning widely from ear to ear, and makes her way to the podium*
WOW, I am so flattered, you guys!! Thank you so much! I really don't know what to say... I've never been very good at speeches of any kind. In fact, if I had known for sure I was gonna win, I would have hired Joan the Vampire Slayer to write my speech 'cause whatever she writes always comes out sounding awesome.
Anyway, thank you all again so much... I am so excited and surprised, and I appreciate it more than you guys know. Being part of this board is amazing, and it's because of the staff and members who make it so awesome! I'm glad I come across as friendly and not bossy. *giggles*
I want to dedicate this award to all my peeps in VH, 'cause we all know we're the best house on the boards! WOOT WOOT!!! (sw)

 

[Flannen]

*applauds HisMrs* Congratulations, hun!

Our next top moment from past Buffies comes from the second awards ceremony and it involves an acceptance speech a Killerdwarf and a certain Mr Pointy"¦*smirks*

*the lights do down as the video starts to play*

*Pointy is shoved back onstage looking dazed*
Voice off - and 3 2 1, you're back in the room
...What? Huh? Oh right, awards...

Edit:

Welcome back all...now we're going to find out who is our favourite BB Storyteller.


The nominees are -

killerdwarf - here are some examples of his recent work -
From Tales of the Slayers, "Lindsay McCallum, 2005"
The house fanfic competition winner, "Boomerang" in this thread

NSM - some examples of her fics are -
"Sacrifice"
"Demonic Playthings"

VisionGuy - here's a link to one of his stories -
"The Potential of Welor Clemens"

Lyri - here are some her tales -
From Tales of the Slayers, "Neela Rashandi, 2 February 1926-14 September 1926"
Her ongoing epic, "Aly"

Wanabee-slayer - here are links to a couple of her stories -
"Surprises"
"New Beginnings"

eunsoma - some of his stories can be found -
"Destiny- The life of Dawn Summers"
In Tales of the Slayers, "Gina Perona, 1983-1987"


*Pointy glances nervously round at the onstage "security" personnel...two weedy looking nerds with pocket protectors, who thought it would be cool to share a stage with their Pointy hero (plus nobody else volunteered)...and thinks of the incident last year involving pissed dwarves, battle axes and the consumption of "Beserker" levels of Dom Perignon backstage*
Ahem...*fumbles with envelope, playing for time*...could Old Master and n4h please report to the stage area to help present this extra-large virtual Buffy statuette to our thoroughly deserving winner...*coughs*...
killerdwarf for...
*Old Master appears stage left, holding what appears to be a small stun gun; n4h shows stage right, brandishing a cattle prod. OM gives Pointy a thumbs-up and grins; they had been training for this moment for the last three weeks*

Edit:

...and the winner is...

KILLERDWARF! Well done mate! come on up and get your unusually large Buffy statue...

KD bounds onto the stage, grinning broadly, clearly not aware of the weaponry surrounding him. He's dressed as usual, in chainmail over boiled leather, gauntlets, and a half-helm. He puts his heavy battleaxe into his belt as he takes the rather large and bulky award from Mr. Pointy. Pointy immediately rushes off to the safety of the wings, behind a riser. Killerdwarf approaches the microphone.

I'd like to thank the members of Buffy-boards for giving me this award. It is deeply gratifying to know other people find your writing entertaining. I'd also like to congratulate my fellow nominees. There are really no winners or losers in this catagory. It takes talent to take an idea and put it into words. It takes courage to put those words on display for others. I'd like to encourage all of you to keep on writing. We love your stories, so share them!

Kd smiles wickedly, and looks over the audience.

By the way...I'm still funny. I may not have got nominated for the Xander Award, but I AM STILL FUNNY! Got it?!

From the back of the audience a male's voice floats up:

No shit dude, yer wearin' a skirt!

Kd frowns deeply, and his eyes glaze in warning.

WHO SAID THAT!? I'M WEARING CHAINMAIL! WAS THAT YOU, DZHUGASHVILI, YOU CHEEKY RABBIT?! WHO SAID THAT!?


The enraged dwarf steps out and pulls his axe from his belt. The security nerds move to intercept. In the blink of an eye, there is a red haze of blood spatter covering everything for three rows away from the stage. Nerd body parts litter the area. Pointy cringes in the wings, trying to figure out how he's ever going to get security for this event in the future. Just as the homicidal gnome is about to go into the audience, Old Master and nerd4hire hit him simultaneously with the taser and the cattle prod. The chainmail conducts the electricity well, and the dwarf crumples to the ground. Old Master and nerd4hire each grab an arm. As the dwarf is carried away, he mumbles:

Still funny...still....funny...

and slumps into unconsciousness.

*returns to podium from hidey-hole*

Thanks guys...can you take KD back to the cel...err, green room with extreme prejudice, please...oh, and give him some of that special champagne I got for him...you know next to the bottle of horse tranquiliser That's the last time I bring in nerds to do a mod's job

We'll take a short break now...CAN SOMEONE CLEAN UP THESE NERD BITS FOR WHEN I COME BACK...bloody amateurs!

Break time folks

 

[Angelic Slayer]

That was definitely a night to remember! Now for our #3 pick of Top 5 Moments, we're taking a trip down memory lane back to our Third Annual Awards ceremony. Back in the days before we had a seperate Audience Thread, the hosts had been experiencing some issues with members posting out of turn. It didn't last long though, once our beloved admins got things under control by using some good 'ole fashioned diplomacy.... well, sort of.... let's take a look:

Members Posting Out of Turn:

wiccanslayer: I'm holding angelus and spike's arms as we walk in and take our seats i am wearing my first outfit of this evening.
I smile at spike and angelus damn i'm lucky
The Chosen*steps in with Rose McGowan. Both of us are looking awesome and you're all completely jealous.
"HAHA!" Rose says*
I had actually promised myself I wouldn't do the whole cheesy RP thing but I did it anyway lol...

Mr. P: Shh! please - Could you only post during breaks please?
EDB: Ladies and gentlemen, a quick reminder to please wait till the breaks to post

.......otherwise I shall have to set my own Slayer Faith on you all!
Mr. P: You guys can post now but please remember...only in the breaks

wiccianslayer thinks it's too quiteso she uses her magicy powers to turn on the radio

goodbyew to you - michelle branch is playing

Mr.P: Mr. Pointy agrees: Shh! please

Faith:
'Guys don't make me come back here and do some damage for talking during the ceremony, the deepest circle of hell is reserved for those who talk during the threatre, movies and award ceremonies

VisionGuy: VisionGuy walks up and down the isles with legions of vampires scaring everybody into being silent during the ceremony.

Buffy Summers: Buffy strides out to the mike and taps it loudly.

"Oi! OI! The next person who posts during the presentations is going to become very intimate friends with the heel of my Jimmy Choos. Wait until Pointy POSTS that it's a break, and refresh before you post."

Buffy straightens her dress.

"Thank you."

She walks back the way she came.

BEG:I hear their going to ban people if they don't shut up during the awards, not sure how true it is just a rumour, but it would make for some excellent scandal.

Bangelxx[not during a break]
*drops everything and kills the vamp easily* take that VisionGuy! maybe i do have a secret slayer side!
*smiles sweetly* amazing job goldenboy! congrats!
Buffy Summers
Buffy glides across the stage to the microphone, heels clicking on the polished stage floor. Halfway to the mike, she stops and points at Bangelxx, then back at her own eyes.
"I have my eye on you, troublemaker."
Bangelxx[again not on a break]*cowers slightly under Buffy's gaze but then regains composure watching goldenboy on the podium*
VisionGuy: *Sets the dragon loose on Bangelxx*
Buffy Summers: Buffy glares down at the crowd as she joins the applause for goldenboy.
"Allright! That's IT!"
Buffy removes a shoe and proceeds to run after Bangelxx with it.
"Teach you...interrrupt...awards...cinnamon buns..."
Bangelxx*screams* AHHHHHHH! NO buffy stop!!! *cries* I'm sorry!!!never again! just-stop-hitting-me-with-ahck-that-yow-shoe!!!

BEG
Actually from what I've heard now their going to skip the banning and just stick their heads on a pike and leave them at the entrance to the hall, as a warning. Again just a rumour.
VisionGuy
VisionGuy overhears BEG and looks down at his Ban Note Pad, "Huh? I guess this is useless then." He throws the pad on the ground and takes out the slayer scythe. "Next person who talks during the show, will be my jack o lantern on Halloween."

Faith: :: storms the stage with a scowl replacing her cocky grin ::

“Seriously, folks the next time I’m forced to leave the bar and come and tell you guys off for talking someone is going to pay….and I’m not talking about the nice kind, we are talking pain…torture and eventually…death”
:: takes a sip of her drink ::
“Consider yourselves warned…oh and didn’t I mention I have the power to delete posts?”
:: Stalks off in the direction she came from casually flicking her whip ::

Now there's a couple ladies that you don't want to mess with! 😀 Please turn your attention to the side stage where Flannen will be presenting the next award, folks 🙂

 

[Flannen]

*walks back on to the stage*

Wow, I can't believe I've missed so many great moments from years past on BB, but here's to many more!

Anyway, our next award is the Giles Award and it's to celebrate our biggest clever clogs/know it all/expert of all things Buffy and Angel! Now sometimes we can find know-it-alls insufferable but on this occasion we want them to know that we appreciate all the little facts and observations that they share with us. So the insufferable"¦sorry I mean nominations *winks* are:

Kana
Kean
white avenger
AndrewCrossett
Joan the Vampire Slayer

 

[Flannen]

Annnnnd the winner is *opens envelope*

You're kidding me, a Spuffy wins this? They're Spuffies, what do they know about anything? "Buffy loved Spike", oh please, tell someone who gives a -- *stops self and clears throat* I do apologise. The winner is:

Congratulations, buddy!

It seems white avenger has stepped out but he had these words to pass on to his fellow BBers:

I've always been the one who counts the number of times that the cowboy shoots before reloading, who notices that the hero started out with a cut on his left cheek that mysteriously moved to his right cheek, or just disappeared altogether in the next scene. I've always been the one who isn't content to just know that something works, I have to know HOW it works, and WHY it works that way. And I've always been the one who loves to share his knowledge of the minute details of any subject with anyone willing to listen. Someone once asked me how I knew so much about so many diverse things, and I attributed my knowledge to a lifetime of spending my nose buried in one book or another. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I make up about 25% of the things that I claim to know, guess at another 25%, and only know the rest because someone told me once. Someone who probably made up 25% of the things that they claimed to know, guessed at another 25%...Well, you get the idea.

Thank You

 

[Angelic Slayer]

Congratulations again, white avenger!

We will now be taking a quick 10-minute intermission folks! So please feel free to stretch your legs and chat amongst yourselves for the time being. Servers will be coming around to take any refreshement orders that you have and the washrooms can be found just outside any of the side entrances to the arena. 🙂

For those of you who would prefer to stay in your seats, please direct your attention to the screen where we hear a word from our sponsors about an exciting new BB Event! Over to you, BEG.....

 

[Black Eye Guy]

[Angelic Slayer]

Welcome back everyone! Thank you all for returning to your seats so quickly.... erm, well thanks to *most* of you for returning to your seats...

(*casts a sideways glance at Anya Jenkins-Harris and HisMrs, who seem to be having some mishaps with their champagne glasses... violence, ladies!*)

We're starting again by presenting the award for the person with the most BB Spirit. Here to give out the award, is none other than the wonderful (and deadly!) admin, Buffy Summers 🙂

 

[Buffy Summers]

* Buffy's heels click as she glides across the stage to the podium. She pauses and flashes a radiant smile to the crowd, and winks at Sidney Crosby. *

"Good evening."

She pauses, and takes a deep breath, and coughs.

*cough*"Bangel rules"*cough*

*ahem*

"It is my distinct honor to present the Goldenboy Award this year. This award is presented annually to the member who - following the example of the award's namesake - most displayed Buffy-Boards spirit at its finest during 2009. I think you'll agree with me that all of this year's nominees exemplify BB spirit in their own way."

She pauses again and smiles.

"The nominees are:

Bluebird
Fake Shemp
Joan the Vampire Slayer
and
HisMrs ."

 

[Buffy Summers]

"Before I announce the winner I would just like to thank Angelic Slayer and all the rest of the staff and our special judges for all of their tireless hard work to make this night what it is. Thank you!"

* holds for applause *

"And now. I am pleased to announce that the winner of the Goldenboy Award is..."

"Congratulations!."

* Buffy hands HisMrs her award and leaves the stage. *

 

[BuffyElevated]

*feels her eyes bulge open and her jaw drop*
OMG you guys!! Wow!!!
*rushes up the stairs and up to accept her award*
This is really crazy, I totally wasn't looking for this. LOL Thank you guys, so much!! I don't know what else to say!
I really love this board. Even when my date gets stolen and I'm forced to resort to violence, I still love BB. *flashes a grin at AJH* You guys are amazing!! Thank you again!

*kisses her award and thrusts it up as she screams "VAHLA HA'NESH HERO SQUAD!!!!!"*

 

[Angelic Slayer]

**Angelic Slayer gives HisMrs a VH Handshake and quick "congrats" as she walks back on stage, another golden envelope in hand**

The Buffy-Boards Awards is one of our biggest events of the year, where we like to take the time and showcase some of the great stuff our members have been up to in the past 12 months. Members come far and wide to claim their dates, get dressed up and enjoy the festivities. But as much fun as we have around this time of the year getting ready for the ceremony, there's always a member who you "wish could be here". Someone who hasn't logged in for a while or hasn't been able to post in a few months, and even though they're probably not gone forever you can't help but feel a little void where their avatar should be.

That's when our Doyle Award comes in. This is given to our most Missed Member of the year and although the winners aren't always here to accept their awards, we like to put the spotlight on them all the same. Your nominees for this year are....

Blaze
Nabila
Jenny
Joyce Summers
Lindsey McDonald
Crazy Flakes
Bangelxx
The_Final_Cylon

 

[Angelic Slayer]

and the winner is....

Congratulations Joyce! 🙂 Unfortunately Miss Summers couldn't be here tonight, but here's a few things our judges had to say about him/her:

I voted for Joyce Summers, to me her absence can really be felt on the boards.

She was an active poster for quite some time and is the type of girl that wears her heart on her sleeve. I've definitely noticed her absense the past little while; she has really made a mark on BB and it seems just a little bit empty in here without her around!

And in light of the Doyle Award, the Awards Committee this year decided that it was only right to take a moment and remember a BB-er who sadly couldn't be with us here tonight. Handing things over now to Flannen, who has prepared a piece for us all.

 

[Flannen]

We'd like to take a few moments to remember The_Final_Cylon tonight. Her passing shocked us all and she is still a very much missed member of our community. But instead of mourning her, lets take the time to celebrate the time that she spent with us and to remember her endearing love for the character of Fred and for everything that she gave to BB. Fred, as she was known, was a member of Raiden and tonight, on behalf of all her fellow dorm mates we would like to share something with all of you; Fred's "˜Buffy Story':

The first episode of Buffy I ever saw was School Hard on it's first airing on BBC2 which would have made me 8 or 9 I believe.

After seeing this one episode I was obsessed, became a massive Spike fan very quickly and got hold of all the videos and books that I could. Buffy was pretty much my life until I reached the age of about 13, not that I stopped loving it, I just became a little less of a social recluse. At the age of 12 I developed the nickname of Fred, after the character from Angel because I became so obsessed with her that she was all I would speak about.

My favorite seasons of Buffy have changed a lot, orginally I was obsessed with seasons 2 & 3. I am now really getting into season 5. I like how it is a lot more of a plot filled season than the others.

My opinions of the show have changed a lot as I have aged, but I still love it as much as I did the first time I saw it.

And here's a little something to remind us of Fred's love for her favourite character:

Fred is the girl for me.
I think Fred is the most perfect character there is on TV. She was just given such a good introduction to the show with the pylea episodes and has had such a beautiful development in the show from crazy taco lady to the beautiful, smart young lady that she was before her unforgivable death.
I think I can just relate a lot to Fred, she's got that crazy/cute thing gong on which I think I've kinda got going on too.
I Love Fred

Fred, we miss you every day and you will always be in the hearts of everyone here at Buffy-Boards. This one's for you:

Rest in peace, Fred.

So say we all.

 

[Angelic Slayer]

Thanks everyone for taking a moment to remember TFC, she was a great girl who was taken from us far too soon. She is without a doubt, very much missed here.


On a bit of a lighter note, it's time for the artists of BB to shine, with our Sunnydale Art Gallery Award. This long-standing award goes to the artist who presented us with the best piece (or pieces!) of artwork for 2009. This member's beautiful designs have caught the eyes of BB-ers time and time again, and he/she never fails to deliver original and interesting pieces. We are very lucky at BB to have as many talented artists as we do, keeping us entertained with seemingly endless banners, videos and backgrounds based on the shows we love. Without further adue, the nominees for this year's Sunnydale Art Gallery Award are:

Evo for his work showcased in the "Evo's Return" and "Refresh" art threads:

HisMrs for her work as seen in the "My newer stuff... 😉" and "HisMrs Designs" threads:
