Default New MTS2 Creative Awards - Anybody for a LATTE or a MOCCA?
Dear MTS2 Members and Creators,

Some of you might remember the MooMoo awards, created in conjuction with LyricLee and Wintermutea1. They were awarded to creators and technical experts for contributions to the community.

Originally the MooMoo's were not intended as an "Uber-Feature", but that's ultimately what they turned into. Combined with Lyric moving onto other sites, early this year we decided to step back and stopped awarding new MooMoo's.

Still, we wanted to be able to honor folks who were deserving of some extra recognition. After many discussions well into the night, and the consumption of many double choc hold the cream half steam mocha lattes with extra rum, we proudly present to you:

The MTS2 (award for) Outstanding Continued Creative Achievement
aka MOCCA - This will be given to creators who have consistently produced excellent work, as well as those who have broken the boundaries of creative content.

and

The Lifetime Achievement for Tools/Technical Excellence
aka LATTE - This will be given to people who write tools for all to use, and those who generally help in various ways in the community. Without their tireless efforts, we wouldn't be here at all.



This month (Nov 2007), we are honoring the following members:

The LATTE Awards:

Karybdis - for his contributions in the Sims 2 decoding stone age
Wes_H - for the new animation breakthroughs
-Starbuck- - the wiki woman!

The MOCCA Awards:

Beosboxboy - for the hunky bodybuilders
Marvine - animation and bodybuilders, wow
Bruno - making our sims beautiful
Nouk - outstanding original hair

The award winners will get a custom trophy and a little cup o' caffeine icon by their names.

Time for a big cheer and thanks you's for these talented folks, some of the many people who make MTS2 great. We look forward to handing out more MOCCAs and LATTEs in the coming months.

Delphy and the MTS2 Staff

Story books are full of fairy tales, of Kings and Queens, and the bluest skies.

MOCCA and LATTE FAQ

Will MooMoo winners keep their cows?
Of course, we are not taking away the award from those who have it.

Can a MooMoo winner also get one of these awards?
Yes, over time. We've got a bit of catching up to do, we'd like to get some of the folks who don't have one yet first.

Can I get both a MOCCA and a LATTE?
Yes, but it'll cost you an extra $5.

Who made the cool trophies?
HystericalParoxysm and Echo.

Who made the cute little icons?
Tiggerypum

I'm an award winner but I haven't gotten my award yet!
