The Sixth Sort-Of-Annual Planeshift Community Awards


I'm going to attempt to do this for everyone because it looks a ton of fun! However due to the smaller player base currently I'm going to allow you to nominate a player 2 times...maybe even 3 if we need to and see how this works and if you can't think of anyone for some of them just leave them blank.




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 is currently 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 Jessamine (me).   For simplicity's sake, just copy and paste the categories below with your nominations next to them.   

Nominations

Nominations begin today, October 16th and will be accepted for one week, until October 23rd  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 or comment.Have fun!  :D

No one who has been banned from Planeshift can be nominated for any category.

This is probably fine enough for newer players as things have been calm lately. However, if you don't mind older players being nominated, you'll probably want to relax that to no one who is currently banned. You'd be surprised how easy it was to get a ban at certain times in the past. :whistling:

*Tidebringer raises her hand, "Yes, I have questions..."

 :detective: What's the exact time when nominations close? (You should probably list it in GMT ;))

I need to know precisely how long I can procrastinate, you know...

Also, are we just nominating active players/characters? I'm fine either way with this, honestly.

I did not see it....uhh yeah I'd say we should stick to active or semi active.... it might bring too much confusion to nominate someone no one else knows? Well I guess you could nominate them...but then no one would probably vote for them? I don't know the official ruling on that I'm just hijacking this from someone else...what you do think on the question Illysia?

Not that I care, but why is a ban a factor in this?

It just struck me as odd, that's all. I think you're right though, that was probably around since they fist started doing these.

If you want to try to lure people back, open it up to anyone who's ever played. People love seeing their names on the forums. ;) Remember that you are going to put the 3 to four most nominated on the actual nomination results, so if only one person nominates an old player that's fine. On the off chance that older players get nominated a few times, they may get their name on the list and come out of lurking for a while.

*looks at your screen* Yeah, I know you still visit this site even if you don't log in. :P

As for newer players, there simply isn't a lot of newer players, but this is a chance for them to get exposure. Maybe this will encourage people to spread out and meet others more. Considering how empty it can feel in game, I have to wonder how well acquainted current players are with each other.

However, I think you will have problems with some people not knowing who is who either way, so just open it up and see what you get.

That was from Caraick's thread and was to prevent encouraging ban evasion as far as I understood it.... and I'm sure Caraick was one of the few people that didn't get banned in some form or fashion. ;D

I dunno... but I'm pretty sure even Caraick revised it later on in the thread. It might not have even been a requirement for the earlier ones as I know for a fact those had people who had been banned at some point on them. ;D

Okay taking the ban portion out of the rules. I'm totally winging this here so the input is great. I'm not sure I'd know who was banned anyways. 



By the way Illysia if this gets too complclated for me or I get like 300 messages in my PM and can't figure out how to tally all together I'm totally forcing you to help me figure it out...just say'n
