Kodos walks up to the stage once more, and nervously fumbles around with the mike.
"So, anyone heard any good jokes recently?..." |

Not yet. I was just recalling his performance in the ill-fated Phoenix dynasty. Didn't it take him about four months to do the draft for his season, and then another two years to post the results? By then two newer versions of FOF had been released. |

(The crowd is quiet and has the latest entertainment being puzzle solving. Everyone has given up in the puzzle and it looks as everyone is sleeping. Suddenly, a radio somewhere in the back starts blaring some college fight song. GoldenEagle appears from the kitchen dressed like rock star. There is smoke and lights flashing everywhere.)
GoldenEagle: THIS AINT DONE YET!!!!!!!!! (GoldenEagle then goes to the bathroom leaving the audience to wonder if he is referring to the Award Show or to his bathroom rush.) |

Silence, you! And enjoy a refreshing O'Douls served up by the friendly women of Hooters. Remember party hard, but party responsibly!
There should be more presentations shortly. You know, when Jurassic Park opened, they experienced a few minor issues as well, but in the end, most would agree that things worked out for the best. And so it will be here.  |

Hello everyone and thanks for being here today. I’d like to say that first, I’m thankful for Mr. Bidwell giving me this opportunity to take this job, and second, I think we’ll be in the playoffs this season, and the Super Bowl won’t be too far away…..hmm…..wait a minute, this is the wrong notepad.
Here we go. #1. Ask Kodos about appearance fee. Okay, Mr. Kodos, when do I get my appearance fee for this? Can we talk later about it? Lets see….#2. Present nominees…..okay lets see….this is for that web site thingy I read here and there, this is the Golden Scribes right? On FOFC? Okay, who do we have for this. Oh yeah Okay I’m presenting the award for Best Professional Football dynasty. Here are the nominees: Kodos’s The Bill Gates Challenge Okay first off, I’m not sure of the ethics on this one…The organizer of these awards up for an award himself? Whatever I guess. I’ve been reading this one since my lurker days when I was still with the Vikings. Oh those Vikings. How is Mike Tice doing these days anyway? Okay where was I? Gatesville, right. This is a long running dynasty where Mr. Kodos here is trying to force the Cowboys to move from Dallas by having a successful team just to their south in Gatesville. So far, he’s been a flop at doing this and Mr. Gates is going to fire him if he doesn’t either get the Boys to move this season or doesn’t win the Super Bowl himself. Personally, I don’t see why anyone should be fired if they lead their team to the playoffs year in and year out. cuervo72’s The 1970 Frederick Tequilas I could use some Tequila right about now, thinking about my Viking days. Anyway, this dynasty is retro, bringing us back to the 70s. cuervo72 is all about presentation, and his helmets provide excellent color for this interesting if somewhat story dry dynasty. The presentation kept me coming back though, and it might be what puts it over the top for the voters. Quiksand and company’s Groupthink 3 – Sizing up the Kitty Hawk Flyers Another groupthink. Starting with a collection of house rules, this bunch tries to take the Kitty Hawk Flyers to the promised land (Mr. Bidwell, I did NOT PROMISE a Super Bowl) and keep them there. However, I think they were too successful too early, and interest waned. They did keep it going for 4 seasons though, so not a bad attempt. Groupthink has to rely on input from numerous sources, so they tend to die early. I really think their early success did them in, but its still a good read with Quiksand leading some great discussion. Anxiety’s Madden ’04 Empty Cupboard Ahhh….this one falls close to my heart. I much the same way I plan to gut the pathetic bunch of Cardinals I currently have, Anxiety axes his sorry lot and starts over with an “empty cupboard.” He wraps a fairly intriguing intro around a pretty good storytelling for a great dynasty filled with interviews, mystery emails, and press releases. Along the way he renames the team the Copperheads (I gotta make a note of that and tell Bidwell) and moves them to Las Vegas (another note there). Grid Iron’s Nebraska Blizzards I really don’t know what the hell to say about this one. A crazy, international spy story wrapped around an expansion team in Nebraska. This thing takes so many twists you might think it’s a Randy Moss story about meter cops. I honestly haven’t made it all the way through this one, but I cheated and read the end of it. Its good, really it is. I’m just not sure this really belongs in this category though. revrew's ZFL This crazy little dynasty is born from a card game revrew created. Its football by 2 decks of 52. Teams have come and gone and expansion has occurred, and the game has lasted into its seventh season even with some starts and stops. I honestly haven’t kept up with this one a whole lot as I don’t participate, but its got a big following from what I understand, so it should do well. Okay there are the nominees. One thing I need to put out there. Mr Bidwell, after going back over it, can I PLEASE do what Anxiety did? PLEAAAASSSE? Okay, now for the winners. The bronze scribe for Pro Football Dynasty goes to……  Grid Iron and his NEBRASKA BLIZZARDS dynasty!!!!!! There is no silver scribe, so we have a tie for GOLD!! And the Golden Scribe for Best Professional Football dynasty goes to…..  Kodos for The BILL GATES CHALLENGE and revrew for ZFL!!!!!!!!! I’ll toss this trophy out there and you guys can fight over it! Anyone have Robert Smith’s phone number? Maybe Fran Tarkington? |

Kodos takes the stage. "Thanks, Denny! Yes, there may be some questionable ethics involved here in being eligible in my own awards show, but let's keep in mind what's really important: Aren't these Hooters girls hot?!"?
"Anyhow, seriously, I would like to thank everyone who voted for my dynasty, or ever took the time out of their miserable workday to catch the latest update on Chuck Farley's never-ending geriatric skirt-chasing. I would also like to congratulate my fellow trophy winners, and as well as recognize the great dynasties of all my fellow finalists! The fact that I received this award amidst such stiff competition makes it even more special for me. Thanks!" Obviously drunk, Kodos accidentally trips as he exits the stage and falls headlong into one of the bustier waitresses. Some in the small crowd wonder to themselves if it was an accident at all...

Michael Buffer look-a-like: Now ladies and genetlemen...here to present the wards for the Best TCY Dyanasty...welcome one again...SABOTAI!!!
(Sabotai staggers onto the stage. He's obviously drunk off his ass. As he approaches the podium, he stops and stares out into the crowd. It is noticed that he's not staring just into the crowd, but at a particular Hooter girl with a very nice clevage. Sabotai smiles a drunk smile and continues to the podium) sabotai: ....What?! *Inaudible voice from offstage* sabotai: TC-who? *Inaudible voice* sabotai: TC-how? (sabotai breaks out into laughter) Little joke..HA! Get it...TCY...TC-Why..TC-Who...HAHA! (sabotai looks over the cards and has a confused look on his face.) sabotai: Didn't I do this one already? *Inaudible voice* sabotai: Speak louder damn it! Voice: You did the Best College Football dynasty...this one is exclusive to TCY dynasties. sabotai: But I did this...see, Eastern Michigan, Rutgers, Village Challenge...It's been done!! *Inaudbile voice* sabotai: What the hell did you say!? Voice: I said just read the fucking cards!! sabotai: Best calm down boy before I come over there and shove these here cards right up your ass!! (sabotai straightens his tie...actually makes it worse) sabotai: And now presenting the TCY (look offstage and then back to audience) Dyansty awards...the nominees are...Eastern Michigan, Rutgers, Village Challenge,One Down At a Time...hey, that's a new one. That dynasty was shown one down at a time (breaks out into hysterical laughter)....oh and the Top 10 Recruits dynasty... sabotai: AHEM!! And the bronze goes to.  It's a tie....oooohhhh! Haha. Ahem...Top Ten Recruits by thealmighty and Eastern Michigan by Anxiety. The silver....  Rutgers...The Birthplace of Sucking At College Football by cthomer5000. Hahah....oh man I own so much. And the gold goes to  What a fucking surprise....The Indiana Villiage Challenge by many many people with no lives. Now it's time to bag me one of them hottie waitresses! Yeah! (Sabotai takes a few steps forward and falls off of the stage into a table and proceeds to pass out.) Last edited by sabotai : 03-04-2004 at 12:47 AM. |

I'm curious to see who gets the Golden Scribe for Best Golden Scribe Presenter. I mean, if we're going to have Golden Scribes to honor great writing and contribution to FOFC, then shouldn't we have a Golden Scribe for the Golden Scribes?

Alrighty, in the interest of preserving whatever slight interest there might still be in the Golden Scribes at this point, I am going to present the remaining categories to get them done with. Unfortunately, this will be short-changing the guys in the remaining categories because I don't really want to do full writeups for 5 different categories by myself. So just know that even if you aren't getting the deluxe treatment, you still had loyal readers vote for you and your hard work. Without further ado...

Best Soccer Dynasty
In this category, we had two venerable dynasty posters competing for the Golden Scribe: Chief Rum for his "Poppies From The Terrace Dynasty", and QuikSand for his "Return to Lincoln City" dynasty. While both were wonderful examples of what you can do to make a boring sport like soccer interesting, only one could come home with the Golden Scribe. And the winner is QuikSand, for Return to Lincoln City. Congratulations, QuikSand! Time to clear some more space on your mantle. Having said that, how about a big round of applause for the worthy runner-up? Congratulations on your Silver Scribe, Chief Rum! Moving right along... Last edited by Kodos : 03-13-2004 at 02:08 PM. |

Our next category to present is
Poster of the Year Ladies and gentlemen, our next category recognizes the writers who added the most to the dynasty board in 2003. Each of them is to be applauded for their hard work in creating dynasties that are among the very best that are out there. The finalists are: Anxiety... cuervo72... Godzilla Blitz... QuikSand... revrew... and thealmighty. Before I announce the winners, I would just like folks to know that the voting in this category was extremely close, with all of the finalists within just a few votes of eachother. This reflects on how many quality dynasty posters we have here at FOFC. Thank you gentlemen. Here are the results: The Bronze Scribe goes to revrew! You're doing pretty well for a rookie dynasty poster, eh? Congratulations on a well-deserved trophy! The Silver Scribe goes to QuikSand, whose continuing contribution to the dynasties board is appreciated. That leaves the Golden Scribe, which goes to... Godzilla Blitz! Kodos slaps his forehead in mock surprise. Who would'a believed it? Congratulations Blitz, and thank you to all of our finalists!Last edited by Kodos : 03-13-2004 at 02:44 PM. |

Alright folks, we are getting down to the nitty-gritty here, with just 2 categories remaining. First I will present the Dynasty Hall of Fame award, and then we will get to the Lifetime Achievement award. Ahem... The Dynasty Hall of Fame was created to recognize the dynasties that have made the most enduring contribution to the board. Each year, the dynasty which receives the most votes will be removed from future votes in the Best Dynasty of All Time category, thereby allowing new dynasties to enjoy their own moment in the sun, instead of having old favorites win year after year, perhaps on their reputation alone. It is my great pleasure to announce that in this, the first year of the Dynasty Hall of Fame, we will have two inductees going in together. Yes, as has often been the case in this year's awards, we have had a tie. Please join me in congratulating Godzilla Blitz on the induction of his legendary X-Com II dynasty into the Hall of Fame. Also, it is my great honor to announce that my own Bill Gates Challenge will be going into the Hall side-by-side with my personal favorite dynasty, the venerable X-Com II. Come on up here, Blitz! We did it! Ohhh, and by the way, you might as well stay up here, GB... Over the years, we, the readers of the dynasties board here at FOFC, have been privileged enough to enjoy the fruits of this poster's prolific and always entertaining dynasties. His tales of marauding aliens, of football coaches bent on the destruction of their own team from the inside, of baseball teams playing with the fate of the Earth hanging in the balance, as well as his more "down to earth" dynasties about football and basketball, have inspired countless others to come forth and post their own stories. Almost single-handledly, this poster gave birth to the popular interactive dynasty phenomenon that has revolutionized the dynasty forum. Instead of allowing his readers to be idle spectators, he encouraged others to join in and tell a part of the story themselves. He helped show that a dynasty could be more than just the dry recounting of statistics from a text sim. He showed that with a little creativity and a lot of hard work, a compelling story could be created that would entice readers to check the board regularly in the hopes of finding that another installment of the story had been posted. While there is no way to really know for sure, I would hazard a guess that this poster's dynasties have inspired more lurkers to come out of the shadows and join in the fun than any other poster in the history of FOFC. And so, without further delay, let me be the first to extend my congratulations to Godzilla Blitz, the winner of the 2004 Lifetime Achievement award. I cannot think of a more deserving winner than you, my friend. Last edited by Kodos : 03-13-2004 at 03:35 PM. |
