For those of you who are unaware, the Accolades involve nominating (and later, voting for) those who have outdone themselves in a particular area each month. For variety's sake, the categories for each month may be different.
You have until May 10h to nominate your choices. After that, we will proceed to the voting phase where members will vote among the two individuals with the most nominations for each category. An exception to this is if someone manages to get 5+ more nominations than the runner-up, in which case that person becomes the winner by default.
If you wish to participate, think of who stood out the most in a particular category this month and post your choice, along with a 2-3 sentence long explanation, in this thread. You are not barred from nominating your own characters/threads, nor do you have to fill out all the categories.
The winners will become this month's "Community Stars". And what benefits does this bring? Here is an explanation, courtesy of Alex:
(07-26-2016, 11:34 AM)Alex Wrote: As part of being voted as a Community Star/User of the Month (I use the terms interchangeable mainly because Community Star is less formal-sounding than User of the Month), these members gain a color (you must select this in your User CP) and access to the Omni-World R&D forum. In the past this was my pseudo-private forum, but it's now a place for myself and others to discuss the Omniverse. This is also the meeting place/brainstorming area for Story Aides and Story Guides, so for all intents and purposes, winning an accolade lets you become a pseudo-Story Aide for the duration of your reign.
Forum access is for the month following a member's selection as a Community Star, and this is irregardless of which 'accolade' you were selected for.
And the categories are:
‘Best’ Character – Which character has you engaged the most?
‘Best’ Writer – Which writer wowed you the most?
Most Helpful – A staffer or a member who gave you amazing feedback on a story or was simply there to help you sort out some of your problems.
Rising Star – Which up-and-coming member stands at the crème of the crop? ( must have joined within the last month and a half OR have less than 8000 OM)
'Best' Story – What story did you find most riveting/entertaining?
'Best' NPC – What non-player character (can be a site, personal, or story NPC) entertained you the most (for whatever reason). Please note who the 'owner' of said NPC is, just in case I am not familiar with them.
Purple Ribbon - Consider this a bonus category for nominating someone who, while they may not be the best and have all the twitter followers, you believe deserves to be recognized for what they bring the the Omniverse. (The winner must be a DIFFERENT person than the last winner; the March winner was Luci)

Best NPC- The pocket pocket corporation (Erik)
Yuuka Kazami  es is like that one meme like... "How many levels of Omniverse are you on?"
Revan Noctis : Desman what are you currently doing in the omniverse?
Desman Black: I'm faking an engagement to a sex deamon to stop two samurai I accidently summoned whipping them in half, while also trying to stop them from doing the same thing to my best freind who is currently having relations with said deamon, and wh has now accidently summoned his previous girlfreind. So you know... normal stuff

‘Best’ Character – Undecided
‘Best’ Writer – Reece: I'm loving his work with Ahana. I could give to shits about his post size. Its content though is well enough to justify it all. The posts are fun to read in my honest opinion and felt engaged from it all. That's what really matters.
Most Helpful – Aaron (Kopaka/Tearen): Dane or Jade gets nominated in this section often enough. Maybe next month they might get my vote. Aaron's been quite the help on the NB team, whether its planning or help organizing idea or even as much as looking over people's writing to help them improve. He's the kind of guy anyone can go to for help here.
Rising Star – Eternity Larva- Honestly, haven't seen much of this guy's stuff, but I hear he has a rad Roster and the writing isn't too bad.
'Best' Story – undecided
'Best' NPC – Pocket Pocket corporation (Erik and EMPS [Guys, the meme lord worked on those guys to. Credit bra])
Purple Ribbon - Jeff(handsome-dile): You've put in work on your Roster man. Worked hard on it. Its clean, its easy to navigate,
"Mine eyes hath seen the glory of the presence of my Lord. He is sifting through the treasures in which his Gates of Wrath does store. He lets loose the righteous vengeance of his terrible swift swords. Gilgemesh has returned!"

‘Best’ Character – Victor, every post i rrad with this character in it brings a smile to my face. What more could i want from a character?
‘Best’ Writer – Reece (Ahana) been loving his stuff lately!
Most Helpful - Handsome Jeff, everytime someone posts a question he is usually around with a quick awnser. Gotta give the guy some props!
Rising star- t.b.d
'Best' Story – t.b.d
'Best' NPC – Pocket Pocket corporation (Erik)
Purple Ribbon - Dexter (Whirda) the amount of posts that were spammed the second Dexter got approved was insane. That takes some dedication to start pre writing as much as Whirda did. Goodluck!

‘Best’ Character – Serraph Quarrere - love reading their stuff and the character is an OC from one of my first big anime fandoms.

‘Best’ Character – Warren Zimmerman. Okay, let's be real, these stories of shenanigans wouldn't still be possible without this character's crazy reactions to them. Love this character, can't wait to see what crazy actions he takes next!
‘Best’ Writer – Strazio/Kuzuru. I've always been fond of their writing, but writing with them again has really reminded me of their badassery.
Most Helpful – Dane. I don't even need to say why. The dude's a work horse. No one responds to their staff duties faster.
Rising Star – Taloc - I've taken notice of him with my interaction with the Ashen Blades and also, what Gilgamesh said.
'Best' Story – Has to be The King and his merry men That thing is start studded.
'Best' NPC – Abstaining
Purple Ribbon - Whirda. He's back, and if you're not watching closely, it might be your ass he's kicking.

Alright, phase two!
Voting will last until May 17th. You may vote even if you hadn't made any nominations. If you have and a nominee you put forth is in the run-offs, you don't have to cast your vote for that specific category (unless you wish to cast your vote for the opponent instead); your nomination will automatically count as a vote for the nominee.
In cases where a member rather than a specific character wins a category, the winner can (if they so desire) post in the Accolades thread which account should get the colour. That way, those members who already have a nifty colour for their master account have the option to display their well-earned pink colour with a different account.
'Best' Character: Serraph Quarrere, Scratch-N-Dent, Victor Wolfe, Warren Zimmer
'Best' Writer: Viola, Reece, Strazio Rockwell
Most Helpful: Kopaka, Dane Regan, Jeff, Trixie
Rising Star: Eternity Larva, Scratch-N-Dent, Taloc
'Best' NPC: "Pocket Pocket Corporation" by Erik Vrell and the Emperor of Mankind, "Xx_Yandere_Lo♥er_xX" by Shantotto
Purple Ribbon: Gilgamesh, Jeff, Whirda, Trixie
Congratulations to the following for winning automatically (although why are there so many people):
'Best' Story: "The King and His Merry Men" by Victor Wolfe, Drake Oneir, Gilgamesh, feat. Marisa Kirisame, Erik Vrell, Serraph Quarrere, Yu Kanda, Jim Raynor, Shantotto, Warren Zimmer, the Emperor of Mankind, Shay Cormac, and Ahana Varma
