Award for best humor in the module?

I was wondering if "Best humor/parody in a module" might ever become a possibility for an award.  I know you don't want to have a ton of awards, like "best trap in a module"  or little things that just make sure everyone gets an award, but I think that humor might be a legitimate award.

Not that I'm biased or anything, considering that's the primary content of my module, but you know.  .  .  ?   ;D

Anything is possible, but IMO, what we have now is a lot already.  I have to pack what would normally be months of mods, for me that is, to weeks already. 

With this being only the second cycle of awards, the first for NWN 2, the categories we have now pretty much cover a lot of territory already.  Not to say that's not a possibility for the future, but for now, I feel that we have our work cut out for us already.  Maybe next year.  We'll see.

With that aside, I think it's not a bad idea at all.  Comedy appeals to many in the community.  It's definately not a possibility for this cycle, but there's no ruling out it could happen in the future.   :)

Ahhhh, well.  It was worth a try.  I do think it would be good for next year.  However, I am impressed by the awards available and believe they cover the whole range of modules overall.  Thank you for the response Tybae.

You mean to tell me you do something other than play video games 24/7?   ;)

LOL!  Yeah, eat (if I remember), sleep an obligatory 2 hours a night, drink Red Bull and Mountain Dew Amp all day.....:D

In all seriousness, my job is very demanding.  I travel all over the western half of the US.  I work about 10 hours per day, on average, plus a 1 hour commute each way.  I get most of my playing time in on planes, in hotel rooms and on BART (That's the San Francisco Bay Area's subway system for those of you who don't kinow).  When I'm travelling for work, I actually get more done, since I don't have a wife around to pull me from the computer.   :P  Not to mention my work Blackberry going off all the time.  Hey Tyler, I can't do this, or hey, Tyler this person won't approve that.  It's like being a father to 10 children I never wanted.  :D  Ah, but such is life.  Sometimes moving up the corporate ladder sucks.   >:(  Oh, well.  I took the position, so I kinda dug my own grave.  No use in complaining now, but I can rant dammit!  :D

Lol,  ranting is good to do every once in a while!  The good news is that it sounds as though you are never too bored, right? 

I personally managed to get a job in middle management.  I work my M-F 8-4 and go home.  The strange thing is that I absolutely love it.  I get to spend most of my time with my wife and kids.  .  .  wait, what am I thinking?  I need a job that takes me away more often.   ;D

Yeah, I'm pretty brutal with those hours - making sure I don't do more than a 50 hour work week.

But then again, I often take up extra work at home. This, writing assignments for computer games, etc. On average I'd say that's another 25-40 hours a week, so maybe I just have the same work problem as everyone else, but disguise it better!
