OK, so here's the idea.
Last season jsut ended with quite the interesting (and satisfying) result from Worlds. This year has marked a huge change in the TCG, on that rivals the initial change over to PUI from WotC. That said, I think an Awards show is in order.
Here's a couple ground rules as we get started:
--------------
1. I'd like to take this seriously. Sure, we can joke around about nominations here and there, but I don't want this topic to end up like last year's end of year awards topic.
2. Feel free to voice any opinion you think is viable. Some people may challenge your choice, but you can stick to whatever guns you feel appropriate.
3. Don't take anything as a personal attack in here and don't MAKE personal attacks in here. Let's keep it civil in here, y'all.
---------------
OK, so there was, at one, an end of year Awards given out for POkemon players who made major acheivements over each season. They used to be proposed in October and results were posted in late Novemeber, after voting was over. There was no real prize awarded, jsut the knowledge that others in your own gaming area respected your contributions to the game.
I think it's high time we started this abck up again. The constant bickering on this board has gotten to an all-time high and I'd like to start a topic that focuses on teh acheivements of this year, not the ills of it.
I'd like to propose some catagories to nominate people in. People are welcome to propose new catagories and nominate people in those catagories as well. here's the general outline I had in mind for nominations.
-------------------------------------
1. OFFICIAL CATAGORIES
1a. Official catagories are headings that are listed in the main post (Post 1) and cover a wide range of topics in the Pokemon TCG World, from Top Player to News of the Year.
1b. Only official catagories will be voted on at the end of the nomination process.
1c. New catagories may be proposed and need at least 5 other people supporting that new catagory before it will be accepted.
1d. Catagories deemed offensive will NOT be accepted under any circumstances.
1e. Only the top 5 players in each catagroy will advance to the Voting process.
2. NOMINATIONS
2a. You may nominate up to two people in each catagory.
2b. You may only have one post dedicated to your nominations.
2c. You may edit your nomination post at any time to change your choices for nomination.
2d. You may NOT nominate yourself.
2e. When proposing a new catagory, you may nominate up to 3 people for that catagory.
2e(1). Only the person first proposing the catagory may nominate 3 people.
2e(2). People supporting the new catagory may nominate up to two people for that catagory.
2f. People may be nominated in more than one catagory.
3. POST-NOMINATION SPEECHES
3a. After the nomination period is over, those nominated will be given the chance to post why you should vote for them. Those not on the board will be emailed or contacted by me (or other players if I do not have their contact information) and their sppeches will be posted by me in a quote box, creditting that player.
3b. Posts by nominees will be no longer than 1000 words in MS Word.
4. VOTING
4a. After the nominees have posted their speeches, voting will open.
4b. Players will email their nominations to a special email address to be posted later.
4c. Only those nominated and members of PokeGym will be allowed to vote.
4d. Votes will be kept confidential and not be posted.
4e. If you post your votes anywhere on the 'Gym before the results are posted, your votes for all catagories will be nullified.
4f. When voting, please indicate your PokeGym SN or nominee name (if not a 'Gym member) and your vote for each catagory.
4g. You may only vote for one person in each catagory. Voting for more than one person in a catagory will result in your votes in that catagory being nulled.
5. PRIZES
5a. I'm working on an avatar design for winners. More to be posted on this later.
----------------------------------
BTW, the rules are subject to change if people protest to the wordings at all.
Well, now that the ground rules have been set, I'll be posting the catagories a bit later tonight. I won't post my personal nominations in these catagories; I'm only catering this Award event. Look for an update later tonight. Until then, Cheers!
