FAKE drammies, do NOT engage :marseyking:

The Drammy Awards 2024 - Nominations Thread ($150,000 Marseybux and 9 badges up for grabs!) :!marseyking:

Nominations will stay up until January 12th, upon which the finalists for each category will be decided.

______________________________________________________

Happy New Year, strags and hags! Against all odds, we've survived another year, despite an absolutely shameful showing from our jannies this past year! You might be wondering, "why isn't @Marco making this post?" Well, when I DM'd @Aevann asking the same, he told me Marco was AWOL and to "make the darn post urself." (This includes the badges.) So I am!

2024 was a truly insane year for IRL drama, so it makes sense things on-site would be tame in comparison. In fact, it would be an insult to the utter mayhem of 2024 to pretend anything we did compares, so our on-site awards will be a little different than usual. Also I was told to not just directly rip off @Marco's thing.

Now, the structure will be as usual, but for those who are not familiar: this thread will stay up for a week. Beneath this thread proper, there will be sticked comments for each category of nomination. Reply to those comments with your nominations. In one week, on the 12th, nominations will close, and the top three most upmarseyed replies, plus a jannie's pick and a host's (my) pick, will move on to the finalist voting thread. If you don't nominate your favorite things, NO ONE ELSE WILL, so nominate them!

Without further ado, the categories!

Best Real-Life Dramatic Happening

The real shit. 2024 was an American election year and also some irrelevant countries did some things I think. :marseysaluteusa: I can't be bothered to keep up with the Third World.

Which dramatic happenings from meatspace did you find most compelling?

Best Off-Site Online Dramatic Happening

The fake shit. Politicians and celebrities have embraced the Internet to the point where they're having interviews with livestreamers. Kill me. What was the funniest farce to come off the World Wide Web this year? What event makes you regret the Industrial Revolution the most?

WORST Dramneurodivergent of the Year

Research indicates that the last good user to sign up for this website was in June of 2021. Our on-site performance in 2024 reflects that.

Which user did you hate the most this year? Which user do you think ruined the site experience more than anyone else? And which user do you want to see rewarded for that?

Shittiest Shitpost

Research indicates that the last good post made on this website was in... March 2015? Oh dear. Well, since there's nothing good worth writing home about, why don't we celebrate the biggest turd in this open-air sewage system?

In Memsorial

Soren was a beloved user, famed for being the best meta-troll to ever exist. No one has ever lived up to the example he set for proving dramneurodivergents are just as troll-able as the Redditors we hate. Soren stopped posting on the site to focus on his studies at the Georgetown University Law Center, and we wish him the best of luck. In Soren's memory, and to make up for the fact that there's no vote for the best off-site bait, we'll be having a vote for the best meta-troll of 2024. Which user was best at baiting other dramneurodivergents? Who trolled the most fellow trolls?

Best rDrama Activist

This is going to @Sphereserf3232 because he was grass awarded eight times this year. We know for a fact that there are users on this site ( @Spiderman ) who didn't even go outside eight times this year.

Eviction Notice

This one is new, and a little special. Our dear friend @BILLYBIGBOLLOCKS has long been complaining about the existence of House Edgy and saying that it should be removed. Aevann agrees that there should only be four. This award is for an entire rDrama House- whichever one showed the LEAST House spirit, the LEAST House activity, and the LEAST reason to exist. Whichever House wins this award will be removed from both rDrama and WatchPeopleDie, and all of its former members will receive this badge.

Ugliest Marseymon

Did you know that our Pokemon event is still on-going? Neither did I, because our jannies can't be bothered to keep site spirit events alive! See: the fact I'm doing this. Anyway, a lot of people made some really, really ugly excuses of emojis in order to get the badges from that event. Let's find and shame the ugliest of them all! All emojis tagged "pkmn" are eligible, whether they be a Marsey, Platy, Wolf, Carp, Capy, Donkey Kong, Taylor, or anything else, really. So long as the creator got one of the Marseydex badges from it.

The badge will be made from said emoji once it's voted on.

Lolcow of the Year (rDrama)

The opposite of In Memsorial, this user was the most hopelessly prey to other's bait attempts, the most mockable r-slur, the funniest freak, the hardest seriousposter. Who gave our community the most laughs at their own expense?

Lolcow of the Year (off-site)

People have been making real fools of themselves online for all of history, but this year was especially densely packed. Who was the most laughable internet citizen with NO rDrama affiliation?

Worst rDrama Janny

Last and least, which of our useless, lazy moderators do you think is the worst among the bunch? Who do you think is the biggest detriment to the site and its community? Former jannies who were demopped in 2024 are eligible for the election. If a sitting janny other than Aevann or Carp wins this category, they will be demopped!
