Of course it is twice the awesome one one thread... we are both posting!  _________________ "You tell him that your dual sword wielding boyfriend will cut off his testicles and shove them so far up his crack that the doctors at the hospital will think they are ovaries"--Wall Creeper |

| Quite frankly, for all of you who are actively seeking criminals, or anyone in particular, I'd make the face less recognizable. Don't want questions to turn into answers. |

| I wear a simple bandanna around my mouth and nose, as well as wearing sunglasses. I guess this does obscure my identity, but my "mask" is really a matter of practicality. I'm often picking up stinky refuse and getting my face down in the dirt and dust and stuff. Since I suffer from asthma, it's better for me to not inhale that kind of thing and the bandanna helps with that. |

| @Samen. actually that is a practical way to do it. Any you can "lose" the "mask" in a big hurry that way. |

| Yeah, if it came down to it, having a bandanna and sunglasses is way less noticeable than an actual mask I guess. |

| I've gone with and without my mask depending on the situation... I typically wear my mask more so out of physical protection than to hide my identity... it has a totally different surface and offers about half a centimeter of padding, but its a bit hot on summer days... Also to me, the complete image of the mask with my suit in particular is more intimidating... I have been toying with the idea of redesigning a lacrosse mask so i can take advantage of the steel mesh, but we'll see lol, might have to talk to Z about the best way to do that |

| Polarman, I think your situation may be a little different as well though. Your town members all know you. Your community knows that you are a great guy who means no harm. I was in New York, and the group wanted to go into Grand Central Station to try to pass out supplies to the homeless and I was told I could not go in by Dark Guardian. The security guards gave me funny looks.
I have been toying with armor capabilities integrated into my mask, but I am worried about the bulk. If anyone has questions about masks, the guy to go to is definitely Z. He makes fine quality stuff and can get you what you need. You could also ask Victim, but I am not sure whether he does masks. _________________ "Some moistened bink tossing out swords is no basis for a system of Government." - Superhero "Reason alone does not justify an action." - !

| Protection is one thing, but from an identity standpoint, disguises are way underrated. Get some colored contacts, some rinse-out costume hair color. Make-up can be used to darken your skin tone, and even alter facial structure- and no, I don't mean prosthetics, more along the lines of "optical illusions"; by lightening or darkening certain areas to give the effect of highlights and shadows, you can make parts of your face appear more prominant. |

| I just explain what I am and what I'm doing and havent had any trouble yet even when doing my handouts to tht ehomelss. for some reason they seem to get the explanation I give and have taken to me because of it. in stores I just explain and shrug off the strange looks. no one has called the cops on me yet, in fact most of the police seem to try to ignore me. guess they figure I'm just one more nut job out there and dont want to do the paperwork on it. we went into a homeless camp during the olympics and while the salvation army, red cross and our police said they couldnt and wouldnt enter we had no problems. they all got who we were and we made a bunch of new friends. _________________ A live human body and a deceased human body have the same number of particles.

| Masks work both ways; If you don't want to let others see your face, they cant really know you except for by your actions and their perceptions of your actions. And it may very well be that they see your actions in a completely different way than you intended them.. |

Edit: Oh, do you mean why he got the award? I thought you were asking how he got it, and I was like "duh, the guy handed it to him"... but now I feel dumb.
