deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 It's time to play the music It's time to light the lights It's time to get things started on the FMCU awards tonight! Hello and welcome everybody to the biggest night in the FMCU calendar! And for some reason, you guys let me return to host again The votes are in and all the the hard work over the past year comes down to this. We have a record 10 awards tonight and a lot of worthy contenders hoping to win them. So Claire, what's the news on the red carpet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Well deltablue, I've not known there to be quite so much buzz around the awards for some time. The Fountain of Youth and Best Poster awards are wide open for the first time in a few years. Dafuge won 2 awards last year, even if he doesn't remember it, so can he match or even beat that this time? Forameuss and Abulezz are also tipped to do well, but they face a lot of competition from Makoto Nakamura and Jupjamie among others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedese Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Good luck guys. I've bought my lucky suit, although it probably could have done with a dry clean first. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thank you Claire Indeed we have a strong list of contenders for each award tonight, so it's a good thing I have a co-host who can talk quickly. I decided a real world celebrity was too mainstream so from NCIS, here's Miss Abby Sciuto... Hi everyone. Um... I hope this won't take too long as I have to get back to my lab and you know Gibbs gets really strict about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 So we have quite a crowd gathering already. Any predictions for tonight guys? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Really looking forward to this. I am adamant that I am going to read some of the winning threads in their entirety. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriole01 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Smp20 will win.... awards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbokav1971 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 dafuge to not win everything for a change. Other than that there should be some good contests. Many of the awards are wide open in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 Well we'll see, as we kick off with the experimental Best FMCU Player award, which I believe was at least partly your idea Jimbo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oriole01 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 There was one player who got more than one vote? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 OK, here we go, it's all so exciting! From Abulezz's camp we have Daniel Friar, Shane Forde and John Robertson. From Dafuge's camp we have Konstantin Golubev and Jordi. Dexter Morgan has Steve Murray, Forameuss has Bobby Nicol, and Smp20 has Federico Terenzi! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 And the first award of the night goes to... Steve Murray! If that career had lasted a lot longer I reckon he'd have won by a landslide rather than right at the end. As it was the lack of a standout candidate was painfully obvious. so I'm glad we managed to get some sort of a winner in the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abulezz Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 On behalf of Friar, Forde, and Robertson, we would like to congratulate Murray and Dexter Morgan on winning the first award of the night! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season, a lot of the more popular threads had stand-out main characters that seemed to drive the save. This season, with the blossoming of the Youth saves, I think this sort of focus around one player has taken a back-seat in favour of behemoth saves that just went on through generation ofter generation of players.

deltablue Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 OK, the second award of the night will be Best Retro Career, for careers on older saves. What have you got Abs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbokav1971 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 I voted for the shortest name on the list. I loved it right from the off, but I'm not sure that many in this forum understood the background behind the term. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abby is still recovering and hitting the Caf-Pow hard so I'll take this one, which is just as well as there are a lot of names for this award as well, even if they are much shorter...
