*** Roleplayers' Hall of Fame: Best stories
This section provides some informal rankings based on the
roleplaying prize nominations and voting. The rankings were
based on a point system.
Points were given out either for Best Actor or Best Picture for
a round, but not both. Each player got the higher of the two
scores for that round. Where the points were equal, only the
Best Actor nomination was noted.
Best Actor scoring:
* Earn a Nomination for Best Actor: 1 point
* Receive a Best Actor vote from any Prize Guru: 1 more point
* Earn "Best Actor Emeritus" status: same as getting a vote.
* Win Best Actor for a given Round: 1 more point (3 maximum)
Best Picture scoring:
* Earn a Nomination for Best Picture: 0 points
* Receive a vote for Best Picture from any Prize Guru: 1 point
* Win Best Picture for a given Round: 1 more point (2 maximum)
(The idea is that Best Picture is a group effort, and a Best Picture
winner is sharing in the glory of that group, whereas a Best Actor winner
is clearly gaining points for his own individual effort.)
The Hall of Fame is listed below, with the players sorted
by total points. Players with the same point total are
listed alphabetically by alias. Not only does this list
honor those who wrote great stories, but it also provides
a guide to the roleplays that were considered the most worthy
of being read by everyone. We hope you enjoy them as much
as we did!

*** Special Honors:
Since a number of players won awards both for being in the Top 16
and for roleplaying exploits, several players have offered to forego
their second prize in order to better honor others who have made special
efforts throughout the tournament.
* Special Award to Small Player (C02)
Small Player was the youngest player in the tournament, and it showed.
In a Tournament that had a goodly share of supposedly fearsome
so-called Warlords who dropped out as soon as the war went against them,
he always stood his ground and never gave up. Though his tactical skills
are still improving and his final ranking is not -- yet -- among
the highest, he nonetheless outranks many by virtue of his persistence
and fearlessness. Where others fled in terror, he has steadily learned
from his defeats. Though his armies were thrice defeated, Small Player's
dedication to the game will survive in legends forevermore!
* Special Award to Piglet:
Although technically he came in #17, Piglet's strategic brilliance
and usually-gentlemanly behavior (except perhaps for a certain
incident of debatable betrayal in Round B :) ) earned the respect
of friends and foes alike. In addition, his development of the WarBOT
deserves recognition by all Warlords of the World! But most of all,
Piglet wins a prize because (due to one other who chose not to play in
Round E) he is one of the sixteen Warlords fighting for the top spot,
and may yet be crowned the World's Greatest Warlord - especially given
the latest news from his game against Lord Isc!
* Special Roleplaying Awards:
Several players made consistently impressive roleplaying efforts,
and ranked very highly in the Roleplayers' Hall of Fame due to their
many nominations, yet somehow never quite earned either a roleplaying
or strategic (Top 16) prize. We want to honor them here.
Congratulations to:
Avenging Angel / Masked Avenger
Bottom Burp
Lord Lucky
Magnus
and Ythorm Carstik!!!!!!
