The time has come! All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to be moving a little quickly this year. We're behind and I'd like to get the nominating and voting done with before we're well into January.
We'll be using the same lovely system set up by Neo Necron a couple years ago. For those of you who are new, read the rules below.
The way it'll work is this:
(1) For each category, you may nominate 2 members.
You may not nominate the following:
- Yourself
- Non-members (that probably goes without say, but I wanted to make sure)
- Ex-members
- Members who haven't shown any activity for a while (This rule is laid back, though. You may use your own judgment here, but if we disagree with that judgment we'll say. Say about a month of inactivity)
(2) For each category, up to four members will be picked to move through to the voting round. However, 1 member can only make it through to voting for 3 categories only. This is to prevent one member getting a large amount of awards. Couple categories or club categories won't count towards your three.
In other words, if a member receives enough nominations to get into voting for categories W, X, Y and Z, we will remove them from the voting round for W,X,Y or Z (based on how many nominations they have in each) and should we pick, say, X, another nominee will take that place in voting for that category.
I know that's all confusing, but worry not. It will all be nice and fair and we'll all be very very very happy.
(3) We will then move through to the voting round. For each category, you may vote for 1 of the four nominees. Most votes wins. (that bit was easy, eh?)
(4) There will be prizes. On that note, keep reading.
I need a volunteer for making the little award tags we all love so much. Djinn made lovely ones last year, and Rocco AND LILY made some pretty fabulous ones for the Bogus awards. I'm looking for work of that quality. PM me if you're interested.
EDIT: I have been PM'd! Your award maker for 2008 will be Halie. I look forward to seeing them.
I'll give this... nine days, since we're running a little behind this year. So on December 24th, I'll be closing this thread, counting nominations, and opening the voting thread when I'm done. Ideally, anyway.
And now, what you've been waiting for, I'm sure: The categories. Same as last year.
