The Giant Turnip, by Horiiiiii
The Introduction (and following series), by Hallm3
The Good, the Bad and the Sackboy series, by Wexfordian
Vagrant hero series, by GEK83

Congratulations to the winners. Several are good friends of mine. It's nice to see that MrsSpookyBuz will finally get a crown after all of her hard work. Nattura, too ... he's brilliant.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go beat my head off of a brick wall repeatedly until these awards are over.

Wex, forgive me, congrats to you too. You're going to be like FullGorr in the beta it seems. You can only wear one crown at time, though, remember that. 2009-12-17 16:35:00

Wow Wex!! congrats! ..and MrsSpookyBuz too?! Too cool!! Congrats as well as all the nominees!

Dang.. I am just surrounded by the ones with the shiny hats. Makes my nifty custom blue one even more special!! Actually, the kind of stuff I am creating now, I need the crash helmet. LOL!!

Personally, I'm quite surprised that it took this long for Wex, MrsSpookyBuz and Nattura to get those shiny hats. They are all just over-the-top creators and wonderful individuals. I can't think of many people who deserve this more!

(well, I can think of a few, but I'm sure they'll win shiny hats, too!!!!)

Congrats to all... My plan is beginning to unfold. Soon, yes soon, I will be the last sack standing... I will be the only crown-less sack in all the land. [long inhale] Bwahahahaharr!

Thats when Mm will introduce the saphire scepter and then, the crushed velvet impossibly blue, blue robe. My plan is unhinged it would seem.

A well deserved award, I must admit that when I first saw all 3 levels published at the same time I thought it was a pretty risky move but obviously paid off. 2009-12-17 20:49:00

That, KernelM my friend, is a very good question.

I've no doubt that the 'winners' of these awards are worthy. I mean that truly. I feel very proud (and a little puzzled) to be even nominated to be honest, but that's a long and different story.

BUT, for every person who experiences the joy of 'winning', there are dozens more who experience disappointment and the feeling of dejection, and must question what they have to do to get a mention.

I have no answer. I'll shurrup now

Torn By Darkness by Stampy83
Little Big Apocalypse series JonMartin
sackboy's inferno series by sighwhatever
Heart of Gold and Timmy's Dream by hexaghon
From Siberia With Love series by GruntosUK

...those are my underdog picks though.

Well, Mm did tweet that they were looking for levels with good stories a while ago.
http://twitter.com/Media_Molecule/status/6435645880

Looking for levels with excellent stories - maybe using LBP to tell a story in a clever way, or just with text. Send levels plx!

I know I sent them a tweet back mentioning wex's The Good, The Bad and The Sackboy series, as well as your levels.

Seems like the best way to get a sackie is to get mnimmo to mention you to Mm.

How about it mnimmo ? I'm sure you'd like to nominate my Sheriff Sack level for best 'Wild West' level or best 'Stagecoach' in a level. Go on you know you want to

Wait, what?

I were only mentioning that Mm looked for the 'story' levels that way. I mean they could have looked for them another way too, maybe Facebook?

They could have easily had other LBPC folk vote for him too via these channels. I just mentioned my votes as those were the ones I easily had access to.

p.s. Mr.V, in all honesty, I don't recall ever playing a level of yours
So, yeah... that would be a blind vote

Yeah I'm only messing with you mate.

I'm shocked you've not played my levels though, how remiss of you ( messing with you again ! )

In all seriousness though if you do fancy taking a look sometime the ones in my sig are my best ones. ( Oh and 'Arabian Adventure' which surely features the best 'sidewinder snake' in LBP !!
