Awards

Summary

The CSM Really Dumb End of Tier Awards (RDEOTs), pronounced 'AR-DOT', is a set of highly prestigious awards handed out to players in recognition of outstanding achievement during the Tier.

The RDEOTs are distributed by the Editor in charge typically at the end of the Tier, however, this is not a requirement. The Editor in charge is self-nominated. No other requirements exist for the position. Any talent for the position is actively discouraged.

Rules:

The RDEOTs follow a loose set of rules. They can be changed at any time and without notice.

1. RDEOTs are for fun.
2. Seriously, dont take them seriously.
3. The Editor in charge is whoever decides to run with it first. You don't need special permission.
4. The Editor in charge has the last say on all things.
5. Transparency is discouraged.
6. Nepotism and bribery are fair play.
7. Eligibility is determined by the Editor in charge, but probably should be someone who at least raids.

Over the Years

Here lists the anointed and the disappointed for each year.

2020 RDEOTS

The inaugural RDEOTS were held in the Fall of 2020 in conclusion to the last raid of BFA, [[Nyalo shortly after Shadowlands was delayed and Nzoth was killed N-1 times (where N is too many fucking times).

Editor in charge for 3Q2020 RDEOTS was sermo.

2. Best Companion for a 24 Hour Dominoes Stakeout (Shoots the shit)
   1. Samjay Heaton Sermo
   2. KendochDunbaron

2020 Award 'Ceremony'

Biggest Backpack

Everyone frown at @Heaton. He just put all us popular kids in Vancouver in a two-week quarantine. SMH. If only Shadowlands was out sooner, we could have avoided this whole thing...

Well enough of that. Heaton didn't make this list.

The race for the biggest CSM backpack was tighter than American sphincters during a presidential election. We had a few names rise to the top of this list. So without any pomp and circumstance (okay, maybe a little pomp).

Here we go:

Our second runner-up: This guy can multitask like a motherfucker. He'll shoot the shit, tell you how to play a key part in the fight, and still forget to stun the neuron at X. He can flex on his Rogue or DK without missing a beat - whatever suites the fight. I am willing to bet we could put him on a no-faction-herb-farmed-panda and still seem him near the top of the meters. Without a doubt a solid player, and deserving this slot:

Samjay

Half a point ahead - our runner-up: The CSM mystery man. With a legacy only matched by his ...uhhh... height. Seriously he's nearly as tall as Brando (who is outrageously tall). King of memes, shitty puns, and yelling on his brother's Twitch stream. Always the guy who does his job, Dippy's job, Mark's job, and still makes it near the top of the meter. Congratulations:

Shimmer

This last carry - our most voted for BFA - was a new face to the CSM roster. He shot to the top of the meter and never relinquished it. You could make an argument that his class was pretty OP, but you couldn't argue that he piloted it with the utmost skill. This player could be relied on to do his job, carry the DPS check, and provide good strategic points here and there. Really, the only thing you could take away was an obvious character flaw that CSM to accept from the outset. He's got a terrible taste in fonts.

Congratulations: ComicSans

Dominoes Stakeout

Read the Tooltips

Well. Here goes nothing.

This award is for the best of the worst. The cream of the yoghurt. The sand of the desert.

While superficially this looks like a good-un-chap-try-again-next-time-participation-award, its really not. I'd argue its the most important award we have to give out. For a team as shitty as we are, having someone start as fresh blood and grow into a solid, reliable mythic raider is how the rest of us get to play every week.

This player started by dying to everything that was thrown at him, literally. I can attest to it, I stopped trying to heal him. The fact that we can now send him solo into the abyss and expect him back with 8 other raiders, a 32 slot bag, CE, and a smile on his face is no small feat. Yah hes a bit of a shit, but we like him. @Dunbaron likes it even more when we dont need him to "offspec" Holy. (True story, he's been secretly off speccing since Legion).

CSM as a mythic raid team has been (in recent years) built on people growing into roles they wouldn't have had a second look at after a few bad fights in a different guild. We rely on these players to improve reset over reset to ultimately help the group get shit done.

I couldn't agree with the more with the votes on this one.

Congratulations Diablo. And thank you for being that guy. The guy who finally read the tooltips. Our, objectively, most improved player.

Just don't bring your disc priest, eh?

Killyn you had a solid shout out too. Thanks for rounding out our 20 so late in the exp. I think it was fitting you got your mount in the end, more than half of us wouldn't have had it without you stepping up.
