Title: The Fifth Annual Planeshift Community Awards

The Fifth Sort-Of-Annual Planeshift Community Awards



Four years after the fourth annual Community Awards, The Annual Planeshift Community Awards have returned! bloodedIrishman used to run these, but given his absence, I see no reason why we can't bring this good-natured and well-meaning contest back for the community of Planeshift to enjoy.  Please follow the rules and have fun!



Rules


The Awards process is split into two rounds. First round consists of the Nominations and the second consists of the Voting round. No one who has been banned from Planeshift can be nominated for any category. You can nominate ONCE and vote ONCE. You may NOT nominate yourself but you can vote for yourself if nominated by others for a particular category.  Try to vote for someone in every category, but if you don't have an opinion on a particular one, just leave it blank. For simplicity's sake, I've broken the categories up into two sections: Character Awards and Player Awards.

Please send your nominations and votes via PM to Caraick.   For simplicity's sake, just copy and paste the categories below with your nominations next to them.  If e-mail's more your thing, send your ballot in to caraickdastrid@gmail.com.   Remember, you can only nominate one person per category. 



Nominations Round

Nominations begin today, August 15th, and will be accepted for one week, until August 22nd.  I'll put up the nominations in a seperate thread, with the top three or four names per category, and then voting will be open for a week.


Got any questions? Post them below, or drop me a PM. Have fun!  :D

Yay ! Ahah well it's harder then i thought ....

1. Can we put names of char or players actually inactives ?
2. What do you mean by " Most likely to be Mugged " ? It sound like " the one you would send a mug to" award  ;D
Title: Re: The Fifth Annual Planeshift Community Awards
Post by: Caraick on August 16, 2014, 10:37:46 am
1: Sure, inactives are fine, but it's more fun to nominate active folks :)
2: Mugged means robbed :)

And another question that's been asking: You CAN nominate the same person for multiple categories, but only ONE person per category.


Have fun!  ;D

These aren't community awards. This is just friends voting for friends and everyone else being left out. Having "most liked" and "best" as awards is not how to run something like this.

@Volki : Yes intressting remark. Can you propose something else then ?
And obviously you will most likely RP with friends on a daily basis, even if trying to involve any people you see in your RP.

@Donari : No comments.  ???

Sent my noms, cheers!  It's a darling contest, and I like the npc noms, especially that Jefecra got creepiest.  I was thinking that was all wrong, but then after a moment thought it was true and a good choice...

Carry on darlings  :)

"You may NOT nominate yourself but you can vote for yourself if nominated by others for a particular category."

Mishka can't read/heed the rules. :woot:
Title: Re: The Fifth Annual Planeshift Community Awards
Post by: Caraick on August 17, 2014, 04:36:59 am
Please, please send your nominations as a PM or e-mail.  Makes it so much easier for me to keep track. 

And yes, cdmoreland's correct. Don't nominate yourself.  8)

But I don't know who else to put there! I'm the most obnoxious player ever!

Grow up.

Just because you call it good-natured and well-meaning does not make it so. I think your random insult proves my point.
Title: Re: The Fifth Annual Planeshift Community Awards
Post by: Pierre on August 17, 2014, 07:58:41 pm
Someone get the troll off the thread.  Volki, you need to grow up.  That was not random, nor an insult.
Title: Re: The Fifth Annual Planeshift Community Awards
Post by: Volki on August 18, 2014, 05:04:36 pm
I make a legitimate comment, am insulted for it, and I'm the troll? Okay.

@Volki : Yes intressting remark. Can you propose something else then ?

I have some ideas. The awards titled "Best ___" should be removed.

Least likely to be arrested
Most mysterious past
Craziest character
Most likely to be an avatar of a god
Most skeletons in the closet
Most literal skeletons in the closet
Possibly Talad's alt

The idea is to have legitimate votes. When you use "best" and "worst" you are inviting people to vote for their friends (and not-friends for "worst" awards), which they will, and it really isn't about the community anymore. The largest clique wins.

I like these category suggestions very much.  I would include them, except votes are already being sent in.

Thread necro of my own... The currently RP community is not yet active enough on the forums and I don't think it's quite large enough to fill all the categories, but I think I should remind people that this was a thing. Keep this in mind as something to work toward as these can be quite fun and can allow people to recognize their favorite characters for interesting quirks. :) Who knows, if the community gets active enough again, someone may organize a new one. It just requires people to interact with and know each other enough to make nominations. ;)

Post by: MishkaL1138 on October 16, 2016, 10:18:53 pm
I nominate myself to all categories, since Illysia was kind enough to necro this for me~ 

/me now has 9001 votes and wins in all categories with all her chars!

Okay you know what this looks like fun! I'll *attempt* to take over this send me a PM with your nominations and next Sunday I'll post the results (if you can't think of someone for each one leave it blank and for now I'll let you nominate someone 2...maybe 3 different places) Sound fair? Also should I make a whole new thread? or just keep going in this one?   Just copy/paste this in PM to me and I'll sort the rest out. :)

It would be better to make a a new thread for it to keep them straight. All the previous years had their own threads.
