Well, the 2006 CY Awards have finally been held – a week later than expected – on the 1st of July (otherwise known as Maple Syrup and Mounties Day).

SW City and its assorted retinue of well-wishers and hangers-on managed to snag four of those coveted citrusy trophies, including a very special Lifetime Achievement Award (Best-Dressed Hotep), given to none other than our own Central District Governor SW Comit!

SW Chris snatched Best Building for his mind-blowing Back to the Future Recreation in East Ending, while Comit picked up Best Software for Alphaworld Enhanced, doing very well for someone attending a wedding (some complete twit accepted both of his awards for him – whoever gave that idiot a presenter job, anyway?)

And while Goober King vehemently denies being affiliated with SW City in any way, the fact that most of his regular guests just happen to SW’ian allows me to plant a green-and-blue-with-crosshairs flag on his Best Media Presentation award.

Other award recipients of special mention are the wacky crew of Off World who grabbed Best Town, Stacee getting Best Object Design (for her sterling work renovating Active Worlds’ biggest blocked drain- er, I mean AWGate ^_^;;) AND a third of the Best Leader statue (the head and right arm), Strike Rapier being awarded Best Bot Design for his weapons of mass surveillance, and of course who can forget Lensman, dreamer2 and tunablues’ Lifetime awards.

Looking forward to next year – hopefully it’ll get done without any false starts this time. *menaces Chrispeg*
