Personally, I just don't like to see the Dissections become part of a "race" for awards. I'm referring only to the actual chapter summaries, not the replies. I have no problem with a "best reply" award.

These are just my own ramblings. I don't speak for anyone else, and I don't expect anyone else to agree with me.
Just wondering about your reasons is all. :D
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

He knew only that they had never striven to reject the boundaries of themselves.

I ditto the wonder.

From my point of view, which is as a participant, I think it's one of the few areas of the Watch that are "constructive", in the sense that people work hard on what they post, and try to give something to other readers. If having an political argumenbt in the Think Tank is more rewarded than this, then my view of how the universe works would be shattered.

Would searching for and suggesting yummy recipes be seen as a 'constructive' area of the Watch? ;)

Or maybe "most inactive member".

Alright, I'm going to wrap this thread up at the end of the day. If there are any other category ideas...
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Is it too late to add a category? I'd like one for Watcher you most want banned.
I am the self-fulfilling prophecy. Give love, and you WILL receive love. Let your every answer, your every action and reaction, your every desire, be rooted in love.

Where's the love in that?

But yeah... too late.
