2. Please then send your forms of to Awards2009 via the PM option.

3. You’re not allowed to vote for yourself.

4. You’re not allowed to create a new member in order to fix the votes either.

5. It is not compulsory to vote for every section.

6. If you have any questions, send them via PM to the ‘Awards2009’ account, otherwise they may not be answered (it gets crazy at times)

7. Can you try and use user-names when voting :)

Note:
You can only vote once, you have 1 month to vote, so that will be plenty of time, please note if you voted in the first stage (in October), you can vote again from the short-lists!

[Crests]

How do you know who is nominated other than them having a thread?

[an angel]

I think you just vote for any random users, doesn't have to be someone who has a campaign thread...

[Awards2010]

Crests, you can vote for anybody, it doesn't matter if they have a campaign thread or not :)

But you don't have to vote for all the awards :)

At the end of October, the short-lists get announced and voting will restart with people voting for users on the lists :)

[Julie]

When can we start sending in our Voting Template?

[Crests]

That's cool :surprised:

I am even more excited now :dance:

[Lore]

why north north america and Usa ambassador are different categories?

it's like having one award for the US and another for Canada... if any big country deserve its own ambassador we'd have like 30 new categories :lol:

what about US & canada in 1 category?

[Kon]

When can we start sending in our Voting Template?

1st stage voting times are from the 27th September to 29th October :)

[Kon]

True dat:
1 - North America
2 - Central America
3 - South America
(4 - Chile :P)

Does that sound good Lore?

[MK]

what about US & canada in 1 category?

Yeah but there's a bunch of people from North America.

[Awards2010]

I have an idea, a 3-day poll :)

http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=62230

[Lore]

@David: sure, CHile deserve its own category, specially because there are LOTS of chileans here :P

@Milica but there's also a bunch of people from the UK, and there's no an UK's ambassador

[MK]

@David: sure, CHile deserve its own category, specially because there are LOTS of chileans here :P

@Milica but there's also a bunch of people from the UK, and there's no an UK's ambassador

Good point. :thinking:

[Awards2010]

I can see both sides of the argument, and can't decide :(

Hopefully the poll will give a good answer

[Crests]

This is pretty intense :surprised:

[Tnspieler1012]

damn slow computers

[Tnspieler1012]

So how do we know who has already been nominated?

[Crests]

The threads? :shrug:

[Lore]

in the first stage of the awards you can nominate anyone you want, and the nominees with more votes will enter to the shortlist which will be announced like a month before the awards I think

[Tnspieler1012]

in the first stage of the awards you can nominate anyone you want, and the nominees with more votes will enter to the shortlist which will be announced like a month before the awards I think
so to nominate someone is the same as voting for them in the first round?

[Lore]

during the first stage, yes

[The Escapist]

Thanks for the template davey. now to really start my campaign...:escaping3:

[Awards2010]

So how do we know who has already been nominated?

The results for the first stage voting will be announced at the end of October/Start of November with the names of people who got nominated for each award, and the top 5 (or so) people with the highest number of votes going into the short-list round.

[Awards2010]

so to nominate someone is the same as voting for them in the first round?

Yep :)

Voting, Nominating, Picking, selecting etc, it's all the same thing, as long as you send in a PM with a list of names you want to win the awards :D

[Awards2010]

OK

How about this for a plan about the ambassador awards, scrap them :P...

...only joking, how about these:

1 - Asian
2 - African
3 - Oceania
4 - South America
5 - Central America
6 - North America (mainly Greenland, USA & Canada, plus the tiny countries north of the USA)
7 - North & West Europe
8 - South & East Europe

How does that sound?

[Lore]

sounds good to me

[Awards2010]

Good :)

[Crests]

Okay :D

[Tnspieler1012]

someone here is from greenland? they get my vote!

[Strawberry Rain]

What is the deadline for sending in votes?

[Cobalt]

That's in the first post, Sea!Crests.

I was going to ask if I could send my vote in early since I'd be away this weekend when voting started, but scrap that.

[Awards2010]

What is the deadline for sending in votes?

Deadline for first stage voting is the 30th October, so once the floodgates open this Saturday night, you will have over a month to get those votes in for the 1st stage :D

[LiquidSky]

You will be able to start voting in a few days! Yikes!

[Awards2010]

Yikes indeed V

[Lore]

Dave, I think you need a list of the aliases accounts because some people might vote twice :uhoh:

[Awards2010]

That is a good point Lore.

I will go around and get some lists of the aliases in the last couple alias days and keep an eye on any people trying to be sneaky and double-vote

[Awards2010]

Right, I do believe I can set that award template into stone now :)

[Tonii]

How about category for Most popular and for Top gamer in the Arcade or something like that?

[Awards2010]

I think Top Gamer can be determined by viewing the leader-board, although a "favourite arcade game" category might be a good idea.

[Crests]

I think all the awards are pretty much :most popular" :P

[Tonii]

Sounds good to me :laugh3:

[Awards2010]

Off course they are Crests.

My plan at the moment is for all the categories is to get the Mods/Admin to have another vote for the shortlists so for each category will be 2 awards, 1 for staff choice and the 2nd for overall winner :)

If that makes sense

[Crests]

Sounds awesome! :dance:

[Awards2010]

Vote!

Good Luck to everybody :D

[Lore]

Okay, just wondering. :nice:

[an angel]

You know what, there should have been a Best Catchphrase category. I think we all know what would win that. :rolleyes:

[Tonii]

Hmmm, will have to think on these for awhile

[The Escapist]

You know what, there should have been a Best Catchphrase category. I think we all know what would win that. :rolleyes:

we should have that in next years

[LiquidSky]

so I can change my vote until october 29 right? or is it 29 of sept?

[Awards2010]

are the Philippines under Asia or Oceania?
because i've seen them categorized as both before...

Wikipedia says Asia

[Awards2010]

so I can change my vote until october 29 right? or is it 29 of sept?

Voting for the first stage closes on the 29th October, and you can only vote once :)

Just remember if you submitted your votes already but didn't vote for best social group, you can submit a 2nd vote with your pick for best social group :)

(Until the 2nd stage, when you can vote again)

[noonsun]

Can we change our votes before the deadline is here?

[Black Rose]

A good 50%+ of the awards have a runaway leader, some of the awards are pretty tight at the top, some are pretty tight overall, and there is one award out there which if nobody else is nominated will be dished out at the end of stage 1.

[BerrymanGirl1]

:uneasy:

[Black Rose]

Once you have submitted, sadly you can't change your votes.

It's because I do the spreadsheet on a daily basis, so if you change your votes it means having to try and find your first PM to deduct your original votes to add your new votes to the mix

[Lore]

how many people will be nominated in every category?

[Crests]

What is that award?

[Black Rose]

how many people will be nominated in every category?

I don't know :P

So far the most popular award is Friendliest user with 59 votes cast for 22 people, so basically you need at least 4 votes to make the shortlist in that award at the moment

[The Escapist]

What is that award?

i wondering the same thing

[Black Rose]

I'm not saying :P

[BerrymanGirl1]

please?!

[Black Rose]

Spammer Award :P

Or is it...

...da plot thickens

[Notion]

:D

[Crests]

The award for friendliest is pretty intense :wacky:

[Black Rose]

So is best thread
49 votes, spilt over 23 threads. Needing at least 4 votes to get into the short-list.

[Crests]

How many awards are obvious?

[Black Rose]

I would say 17 of the awards have a runaway leader, however at this point it's finishing in the top 5 (ish) which counts.

[an angel]

Eee I hope 4 people voted for teh kitteh thread. :uhoh:

I bet it's African Ambassador that only has one person nominated. :dozey:

[Crests]

I bet I win biggest spammer :dozey:

[Black Rose]

I can say how many people have voted overall, but can't say voted for what/whom *zips mouth*.

Remember Crests, you can vote for the best social group ;)

[Crests]

I can? :surprised:

[an angel]

Just wondering, how many people were voted for best siggy?

[Black Rose]

49 votes over 16 people

At the moment you need 2 votes to get onto the short-list

[Not An Alias]

I will have to vote for that then.

edit: oops, I accidently Not an Alias'd instead of Crest'd :wacky:

[Black Rose]

silly girl :P

[an angel]

Reallll smart.

[Crests]

Not An Alias should have best sig :P

[an angel]

It's much better than mine. :tongue:

[Crests]

I can't wait for the next alias day if there is one <3

[Black Rose]

If anybody wants to run the next alias day it's all theres.

[Crests]

Could I do it? :blush:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:surprised:that would be great!^

[Crests]

I want to do it :whip:

[BerrymanGirl1]

:lol:

[Crests]

Wow Amy, you are such a spammer. :dozey:

[RICK8]

Look whose talking..:P

[Cobalt]

I know I tried to change mine, but I sent a PM no more than 3 minutes after I sent my original vote PM with the one change. Was that done?

[Cobalt]

An awards by me would have much dedications and mudkipz. (also I'd have more time to do it next year)

[BerrymanGirl1]

Wow Amy, you are such a spammer. :dozey:

I wouldn't be talking!
:dozey:

[Black Rose]

I want to do it :whip:

You can have it Crests :)

[Black Rose]

Yep, only because I saw your changed vote before adding up the original choices

[Crests]

Oh yay! :dance:

You might have to tell me what to do though :D

[Awards2010]

PMs now being sent out, so if by tomorrow you have voted but haven't received a PM back, just poke me with a stick.

Damn it, having to wait 60 seconds between PMs :(

[TyM218]

Umm, Mexico is a part of North America. Who made this? Missed one too many geography classes I assume.

It's really easy to change permissions for the number of PMS sent out....just ask Ian to change it for you.

[Awards2010]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/MrDaveS1986/541px-Location_North_Americasvg-1.jpg

Umm, Mexico is a part of North America. Who made this? Missed one too many geography classes I assume.

Mexico is indeed a part of North America, and Central America doesn't technically exist in the 7 continents system, but it was decided that Mexico will be bolted onto Central America to allow the North American award to be pretty much Canada, USA & Greenland (plus the other tiny countries up north).

[Crests]

Isn't Greenland in Europe or Asia?

[Black Rose]

Greenland is in North America, however it's Danish, so you can claim it's European as well.

But for the ease of use, we shall call it North American.

Besides it's not like there is any Greenlanders around

[Black Rose]

Can someone help me, I have noticed some people have changed user-names in the past week or so, so they could be on my list twice (once under the old name, once under the new name), so could someone make a list of whom has changed names in the past couple weeks.

Ta :)

[Crests]

MyDearWatson = Stargirl
Colin Greenwood = Spoon.
Tagg = Bernard (I can't remember his previous username)

:thinking:

[Darlene_Ihnfsa]

MyDearWatson = Stargirl
Colin Greenwood = Spoon.

:thinking:
xlilmiss_deex = Dee
Keyla = Bernard

[Black Rose]

Ta :)

[Crests]

Ah, it was Keyla :nice:

[berrywoman]

surely I am a shoe in for the Missing in Action Award :wink3: lol :P

[RICK8]

Nope,cos your here now..:p

[Awards2010]

Right, if you have voted, but not had a PM back from this account, your votes haven't been counted, so could you resend your votes :)

[mc_squared]

Who are you??

:confused:

surely I am a shoe in for the Missing in Action Award :wink3: lol :P

It's been the awards account avatar for donkeys years now :)

[Ziggy]

Mexico is indeed a part of North America, and Central America doesn't technically exist in the 7 continents system, but it was decided that Mexico will be bolted onto Central America to allow the North American award to be pretty much Canada, USA & Greenland (plus the other tiny countries up north).


There are no "tiny countries up north". There's no country between the US and the North Pole except Canada, but I appreciate your attempt to be inclusive.;)

Hey david, just an idea. Could all the shortlists (or even just the links to the shortlists) be added to the first post of this thread so that everyone know what they are?

[Crests]

[yellowy eyes]

are all the shortlists somewhere in a one post? can't be bothered to go through all those threads..

edit: oh it's been asked

Voting
Now in order to nominate who you want to win an award(s).

1. Copy and paste the above template, and pick 1 forum member for each section, it is open so you can vote for anybody (in the 1st stage)

2. Please then send your forms of to Awards2009 via the PM option.

3. You’re not allowed to vote for yourself.

4. You’re not allowed to create a new member in order to fix the votes either.

5. It is not compulsory to vote for every section.

6. If you have any questions, send them via PM to the ‘Awards2009’ account, otherwise they may not be answered (it gets crazy at times)

7. Can you try and use user-names when voting :)

Note:
You can only vote once in both stages (1 vote in stage 1 & 1 vote in the 2nd stage), you have 1 month to vote, so that will be plenty of time, and when the short-lists get announced you can vote again!

The 2nd “shortlist” stage is going to be the same voting, but instead of an open award where you can vote for anybody, it will be from a shortlist of 5 (or so)

Anyone who votes twice in the same stage, the 2nd vote will be deleted!

[Crests]

Thanks man, I totally forgot how to vote for a while :lol: :facepalm:

[Awards2010]

I wanted to quote it for future reference ;)

How does the first post look like?

Any suggestions on improvements etc?

[Tnspieler1012]

Next year we should maybe consider an award for best thread maker. That is, the person who consistently makes great and interesting threads (i.e. mr. nick, ricardo) as opposed to spammers.

[Cobalt]

Agree. Also, best contributor to threads - someone who often makes good interesting posts.

[MK]

Good idea, Chris.

Looks pretty good to me.

Not overly confusing?

[Cobalt]

How would that be different than Most Interesting Poster?

Oh, right. Well it should be renamed then to match well with the best thread-maker award.

[noonsun]

We should have an award for Best Username Related to Celestial Objects, so that I could win :nice:

I still expect everyone to vote for Nathan as friendliest anyway.

That would make a total mockery of the award, but it won't happen in a million years anyway.:rolleyes:
What on earth is "friendly" about telling a pregnant rape victim she "got what she deserved"?:dozey:

[Crests]

Friendliest is going to be so hard to vote for, everyone is so great :bomb:

why do you make such a big deal? he's not nominated in that category so he can't win.

[mc_squared]

Friendliest is going to be so hard to vote for, everyone is so great :bomb:

I'm voting for you in some of the other categories, but in this one I'm voting for someone who has been very helpful (and supportive) to me over the past few weeks. Hope you don't mind.;)

[mc_squared]

why do you make such a big deal? he's not nominated in that category so he can't win.

Well it was rather a daft thing to say, whatever way you look at it.:dozey:

[Crests]

Of course I don't mind Mark, you obviously can't vote everyone in everything :wacko:

[mc_squared]

Of course I don't mind Mark, you obviously can't vote everyone in everything :wacko:

However, there's one person I definitely won't be voting for in that category, for good reason.:smug:

[mc_squared]

Did he really? That's just taking it too far Nathan...

Definitely.;)

[Josh42]

I'll give you that one Mark, but I'm still voting him as funniest.

[mc_squared]

I'll give you that one Mark, but I'm still voting him as funniest.

Well presumably he was trying to be "funny" at the time too, as I'm sure nobody could actually be "serious" about something like that............................. :dozey:

[Josh42]

Oh well. He can be a dick sometimes (ok a lot) but a good bit of his posts make me laugh.

[mc_squared]

Oh well. He can be a dick sometimes (ok a lot) but a good bit of his posts make me laugh.

But how and where can I vote?

Send a private message to Awards2009 using the template in the first post of this thread.

And mark the person you want to get your votes, or remove the others you don't want to vote for :)

Too right. Thanks for pointing that out!:D
