Before we unveil the awards, we should make note of the fact that voting turnout in these Tallys has been exceedingly high with every house contributing at least 10 voters. That said, to the votes!
First up is Best Krath. This award will come as no surprise to those that know its recipient. A veritable rock in the Clan, this person has been there for vendettas and wars: more importantly, she has been there when there wasn't a major event going on. I am pleased to award the Best Krath Tally to Alanna Taldrya once again.
Next, we have Best Obelisk. This award, as the Krath award, seeks to honor the best member of a particular order. In this case, the powerful Obelisk order is represented by one of Tal's longest standing (erect) members. With his constant thrusting and his mastery of the Wang, the Best Obelisk award goes to Shadow Taldrya. Congrats, whore.
Last among the order awards comes the Best Sith. This award was essentially a no-brainer given the possible candidates: embodying the essence of the Sith order in his ability to pwn and his former Grand Mastery, Jac Cotelin wins the Best Sith Tally.
Best Dark Jedi is an award given to the best 'overall' member of the Clan all things considered. People who win this category generally excel at a multitude of activities. In this case, the award goes again to our awards-chick, Jac Cotelin. His Buffalo Hunting abilities during the Great Jedi War most definitely helped him secure this award. Yay Jac.
Skipping down to the Most Dedicated member of Taldryan since, as you'll see, this goes with those already noted. This award was a no-brainer. The man literally dominated - not only participated - in the Great Jedi War at the same time he was taking his bar exam while he was also continuously working on coding the dossier updates that were recently unveiled. Jac's dedication to a Taldryan victory and Tal's overall success as a Clan is unparalleled except maybe by the sheer sexual energy that swiper and Shad emanate. Congratulations, Jac.
The Best Leader Tally is given to one of the Summit members who the Clan feels has done an excellent job and serves as an example for other Summit members to emulate. While obviously we'd give this to Jac (as we'd give all Tallys to Jac if we could), Jac isn't a member of a Summit so he was ineligible. Instead, continuing a long-standing tradition of the Consul dominating this award, Duga wins! Congrats, Duga.
For the first time in Tally history, there is a tie for Best Newcomer. Generally given to the best new member in Taldryan, the votes came out in a dead tie for the first time in award history and it was determined that a joint award would be given. Congratulations go out to Vlad and Halc. Vlad's ability to be a complete and utter hardass and generally pwn idiots specifically qualified him for this award (such behavior is very Tal-like) while Halc's general domination of life as MAA and DGM was followed up by more domination when he came to Tal and took over as Combat Master. Halc is also dead sexy.
The next award is the Most Active award which is given to the member that has the strongest active presence in the Clan despite what else they may do. In this particular case, continuous IRC activity coupled by the obsessive desire to keep busy (and not game) accompanied by an incessant need to keep thrusting has earned Shadow the honor of the award. Congratulations again, whore.
Finally, the last award to be given out is the People's Choice award. Historically, there has been a battle between swiper and Shad over who would secure this award. In some ways, it has become a battle between two great sexual giants: and Shad has always emerged victorious (except in the case where neither of them was competing...but we don't care about that since it doesn't add to the drama of this story). So who won this year? Who emerged victorious in the battle for the People's Choice? I am pleased to announce that the victory goes to Swiper! Sorry, Shad, but the swipez has emerged on top (as he prefers it) this time around. Congratulations, swipez.
With that, all the Tallys have been awarded. Congratulations to all the winners! Thanks go out to everyone for participating and we look forward to the 6th Annual Tallys next year.
