The Acceptance Speech

Not to be confused with The Dan Bryan Awards, which was held by Tom (creator of 1948Red).

The Acceptance Speech (or otherwise known as the Mod Awards or TAS for short) is the official annual TCT mod awards show established in 2023 by Decstar and is streamed by Astro on Twitch each year, giving mods released within the year a chance to win awards, which is decided by the TCT community via voting. Each mod that receives an award gets a special color on the mod loader. However, if a mod gets multiple awards, the award receiver may get to use the extra color(s) on the mod of their choice.
