It's that time of year again!
These award threads have been an ongoing annual trend over the years, so I thought I'd host it again to reflect on our community over the year. Due to a prolonged period of game downtime circa September-2010 to January-2011 (last year's awards thread was hosted during that time span), there was miniscule activity on the forums due to the absence of the game; thus there were a minimal amount of votes submitted, resulting in many group ties between different catogories. Given the betterment of the forums activity in recent months, compared to last year's situation, hopefully a more collective outcome will be produced by this year's nominations.
What to do: Copy/paste the following ballot form into a post form or a 3rd-party application (such as wordpad, per se), then fill out the corresponding categories where you deem best fit. You may submit your ballot by posting in this thread or by PMing me it.
Note: You are not required to fill out every category on the ballot - Not all of us may be caught up with all categories to have whismical insight for a candidate; and some staff member duties are more prominent behind the scenes, which can make it hard to form a well thought out reflection on their work. Feel free to leave categories blank and possibly modify them later.
This current ballot is substantially based off of last year's ballot, with some minor modifications, but I feel like it may be improved further, or I may have forgotten to include some standard categories. If you have any suggestions to edit the ballot, feel free to suggest it I may comply and amend it, if it's within reason.
Rules for nominations:
1. Do not vote for yourself in any category.
2. You may not vote for your own guild/guild leader in either respective category.
3. If a staff member has switched staff positions over the course of the year, you may only vote for them in one category. For example, if a :CG: was promoted to :GM:, you could only nominate them in one category; either :CG: or :GM:, but not in both categories.
4. Limit your nominations to one person per category. If you vote for multiple individuals in one category, I may choose to either divide up the vote credits between users, or choose to only accredit one user or none based off of arbitration.
The current voting deadline is scheduled on January 1st. After the deadline has passed, I will count up all votes casted prior to the deadline, and announce the winners for each respective category. Deadline is subject to change, and may be amended depending on circumstances.
If you have any questions or need any clarifications, feel free to post here or send your inquiry in a PM.
