FCA

Overview
The FCA (Friend Choice Awards) is an annual event held in the Discord server, designed to reward those who have been active throughout the year, for better or for worse. Originally titled "Fan Choice Awards", these annual showings started in the middle of 2018, where many prizes were actually announced to be given to those who won, ultimately though the true FCA 2018 didn't end up happening until the start of 2019, and the prizes given out were virtually nothing. Every FCA so far has had great success, with the 2021 FCA being the highest in voters so far, with an estimated 69 votes casted amongst members. Always hosted by Cohen and inside of his basement, with the backdrop being the TV downstairs, the FCAs are a mostly satirical awards show, although with people actually getting to vote for real people.

FCAs are typically the biggest part of the year in the Discord, always being exciting once dropped, but almost always leading to criticism and alleged rigging of the votes, although this mostly if not always comes from those who lost and felt they should've won over other people. There are not any prizes for second or third place in any categories, which may be partially the cause for this. In addition, you can also win only a single award per year, as to make it more fair for others; so if you end up winning two, you can only choose one, and whoever placed second gets the award you didn't keep.

Categories
Categories in the FCA remain largely the same every year, although sometimes categories are brought in but later removed, these could be for a multitude of reasons; lack of interest, irrelevance, outdated material, etc. Every year of the FCA has included the main categories people come to expect however, most notably being the best and worst member awards respectively. The first couple of years have many categories that were deleted in the 2020 version, however were replaced with more fitting categories to most, even if they may not be all directly relevant to server members.

Winners
Both the years 2018 and 2019 had two different FCA's, both had one in June and another done in December, both reasons being the June results were either lost or outdated by that point. By 2020, doing FCAs at the end of the year would be established, but ultimately still missed by having the forms and results release in March 2021. 2018 and 2019 may have multiple people listed, this is due to the multiple FCAs done in those years; 2020 has multiple to refer to either whoever won the vote and who won the finalists, or in the case of Member Of The Year, a settlement had to be made. There is also the rule stating a member can only win a single award, even if they win in multiple categories, that way more people have a chance to win; though if multiple categories are won by the same person they do get a choice in which award they take and the one(s) they leave behind; names in bold signify a member who gave up the award(s) their name is listed on. For example, in 2019 the bold "Danielle" on Member of the Year means that she decided against the award and gave it to Huka instead. It should be noted as well that if a tie occurs and neither member listed has won an award otherwise, they both win the award; for example, Milk and SK tied for Worst Member in 2018 and had no other awards; therefore they both won.
