Every month in SOTF, ever since V2, there have been contests for the Best Kill of the Month, an IU competition where the winner recieves a shiny new weapon, and the Best Death of the Month, where a handler receives an award for writing that month's best death. Starting in at least V3 and continued until V5, handlers who won Best Death were awarded roll nulls, but in V5 this was changed to the dead character being featured on the board's scrolling quote, as nulls were found to have too severe an effect on the balance of the game.
