So it's time for our annual TFF Awards. I figure two weeks for nominations, two weeks for voting, and we should have our results by the new year.
Thing 1: I need someone to make the award tags, and I need them to be done well and in a timely fashion. Djinn really set the bar with his tags last year, but you don't have to go crazy. PM me if you're interested and have something to show me as an example of why you should make the tags this year.
Thing 2: If there are any categories you think should be eliminated or added for next year... or hell, if I get enough suggestions for something by, let's say, December 4th, I'll add it in for this year. Anyway, let me know that in your post.
RULES:
This is the system we've been using for a few years, first implemented by Neo Necron. Give it a read so you're not confused by the next round.
(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*
(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.
Note:
*This year, I'll be taking activity more seriously than I have in the past. There have been reported problems with inactive members suddenly coming back to get nominations. There has also been a reported issue with people nominating inactive members for awards because they don't know who else to nominate (for example, someone getting nominated for Best RPer 2010 when they haven't RP'd all year). I'll be using my best judgment and the best judgment of those in the Shinra forum to decide if someone is active enough to be nominated.
Okay, wow, I think that's all for now.
