Most Dimwitted Homo Sapiens of the Year
From Adventure Gaming Society
This position does indeed have voting rights on the AGS committee. It is granted each year to the individual that is nominated, with anecdotal evidence, for having committed the most stupid and insane activities in a roleplay game. It is granted to the individual for the actions he drove a character to perform that could have been avoided completely should the player have thought things through a little differently. Instead, the player just continued with his course of action, most likely unaware of its stupidity.
Why would such an individual be granted power on our committee? Aside from the humour value, a short quote from the Evil Overlord List (see The Top 100 Things I'd Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord)...
12. One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any
flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before
implementation.
The task of the MDWHSotY is to play the role of the child for the rest of the committee. Should the MDWHSotY be able to see flaws in plans outlined at committee meetings, due to his or her unique way of thinking, the odds are the plans are fundamentally flawed and should be rethought.
This year's MDWHSotY is Adam Coleman. He doesn't check his email much, but dimwitted@adventuregaming.co.uk should head his direction at least.
