The Third Annual XETtie Awards Winners....

The XETties, or the XET Log Awards, are sort of like the Emmies, or the Oscars, or Golden Globes, but honoring the best and brightest appearing in our own logged RP here at XET.

The XETties statuette is made of what appears to be solid gold, depicting a mass of tentacles dragging down the winged woman of the 'Emmy' statuette, and the knight of the 'Oscar' statuette. The Oscar is attempting to use his sword to cut off his own leg to escape. The statue feels unnaturally cool to the touch. A link to the log of the award ceremony, held on Sunday May 25th, 2003, will be added when it is available.

This second installment covers logs from January 1st, 2002 to December 31st, 2002. We have tabulated the results and are listing winners in the following categories (if you have a quibble with the winners... well, did _you_ nominate/vote?):
