Poddington-on-Slossip: Roleplaying Awards Glamour! Glitz! Fashion! Woof-dogs! Yes, it's time for the Poddington-on-Slossip Roleplaying Awards! Our contestants have donned their best flapper's dresses and tuxedos, and have arrived in their Daimlers and Rolls for the event. Who will come away with that most prized of prizes, one of the gold-plated Wellies (cunningly shaped in the form of a boot)?  Will it be Alfred Monteth, fresh from baking a pie of doom? Will it be that garlicky Frenchman Antoine LaBete, still sticky from the great Tea House Brawl? Will it be Diva Stedman, fresh from her performance in "Cracked!" ? Or will it be stolen by juvenile actress Jackie Straw, star of "Lost Youth"? We invite the MUSH community to participate in selecting the winners from among our player-nominated logs in the following categories:     Favourite Male Character     Favourite Female Character     Favourite Comedic Scene     Favourite Dramatic Scene     Favourite Romantic Couple     Favourite Rivals     Favourite Flirt     Favourite Scene with that Damned Planchette     Most Appropriate Use of Local Landscape We'd like to thank the many players who took the time to RP and log scenes in Poddington's first period Roleplaying Awards.
