Before I announce the winners of the Soap Game's 2nd Awards, I would like to thank everyone who voted and nominated in this years awards, I wish I could thank all 74 voters individually, but I don't have the time! LOL
And a special thank you to those who voted in each and every round!!

And I would also like to thank all the people from Digital Spy, and those who play along from the Soap Game's website for being a part of the game.

And a bigger thank you to those who have been with the game since the first week, *Corrie~Babe*,
Mr Jaffa Cake, Kbramman, XxXPETEXxX, BluseyLou, pinky2006 and spikewoman, who all played in the first week, along with myself of course!
And a big thank you to all the new comers to the game!

Also once again, to celebrate our second year in the game, this last week will be DOUBLE points week!
If your character doesn't get you any points, I will give you HALF of whatever the lowest score is, which will be doubled also. And as an extra, everyone will get an additional 10 points, to celebrate my birthday on the 27th! But this will not count towards your (-/+) total at the end of the week!

Scores will be posted after I have announced all the Soap Game Soap Awards, which I will do in several posts so if people want to quote a reply, they can do so without quoting the entire thing lol

I will post a section in intervals, so please feel free to comment while you wait for the next section to be posted.
Also, it might help if you subscribe to the thread you can check in your subscriptions to see when I have updated the thread!

To join the Soap Game just send me a PM.
