Replying to this: http://www.betleh.com/cgi-bin/b4/YaBB.pl?num=1141902237

Just to be clear, the award kentra (and others) got isn't a trophy. I guess I need to go back and make sure what is IC and what isn't.

The combat trophys are IC. And they are trophys. It is canon, we saw wor'Iv with one.

In year one I treated the RP award as IC even though it wasn't and went back to my ship and complained about getting a congeniality award... just because K'Hare getting that sounded funny. Even then, the RP award was in part to behavior that got others involded and posting and adding to the backdrop of the tourney, i.e. the "esprit de'tourney"

And it seems the judges awards could be IC but if they are, then the RP one needs to be and it gets problimatic... especially considering who K'Hare awarded.

However, I do like the idea that the tokens for fighting with honor are IC. That is, some committee of judges hands out little pins to the honorable fighters and some ferengi came up with an idea to sell the dishonor ones because some confused humans might actually buy them and wear them proudly.

So assume there is some comittee of old Klingon judges that give little things you can put on your baldrick if you fought with honor... just an extra thing to wear with honor. And some ferengi sells the dishonor ones and some people actually wear them.

Like other things for your baldrick, you aren't required to wear it but tourney goers will recognize it and the habit would be to wear it with your tourney pin. And yes, the attendance pin is something you have in character. Each fighter and the judges and the host are given the pins as part of sign up. Again, some ferengi is selling the attendee ones. That just makes the most sense IC.

So, what kentra would have IC is a small oval for being a fighter and the honor pin which you could wear with your service ribbons.

The honor award and the glory award I don't see as things that would be handed out IC. I have to think about that. The overall honor award maybe... a committee could award that just like the mentions. The glory is award is based on what people saw. That's the award there. People should remember roS' fights because they were so long and full of action even if no individual fight stood out, the NPC crowd would learn that his matches were the most fun to watch overall.

Does that make sense?

No, its not a bad thing, and I am not picking on you. It's what I intended to setup just didn't get a chance to write something up.

The idea of all the Klingon awards is that they are something you can wear on your baldrick. So that someone who knows the heraldry can look at your baldrick and say, "That person went to the betleH comp and fought twice... and with honor."

Note that all the awards look like coins. That's a theme I am going with. You have these things to put on your baldric and they are made so for the most part, they don't snag. Someone looking at your baldrick can know something about you. That's the design.

It's up to you and the viewer how much stock, IC and OOC you put into the awards. IC, many might not bother to wear them. K'Hare rarely wears the baldrick. But on a formal occasion or at the betleH comp he does wear the 4 betleH pins because it has great meaning to him.

If I could figure out an agreeable way, I'd make all the awards be IC and be baldrick pins.

And I also forget to say: for purposes of talking about awards, after betleH 2 Q'olavraH coined the nickname for the awards. At b2 she says, "I won 4 sharpies!"

Some might. Its not worse than wearing a cheng House badge. (:}

And kentra, you don't have to have a baldrick. Having one makes a statement I think... up to the viewer to decide what he thinks that statement is. But you have an SF uniform so you could wear them with your ribbons on your dress uniform.

It all makes a statement IC. (:}
