The Eighth Semi-Annually-Held Designer Awards

Discussion Thread

Send all comments/complaints/quotes to hades(at)heavengames(dot)com



We have had an unusual time in the past year in these halls. We have seen great legends leave and we have seen some return. The forges of these great halls have not seen as much action as last year... but they have seen some great pieces of work lifted and brought to the world. And yet we hold this competition once more, as it is another year and great fortunes be blessed upon these halls!

Let the rounds of nominating, voting, and disagreeing about the awards commence!

Thread Purpose and Agenda

As you might have guessed, this thread is essentially just a place where forumers can discuss, banter, brag, and generally chat it up about the Designer Awards. That said, I must insist that all such discourse be kept to this thread and this thread alone; sifting through too much clutter in the nomination and voting threads makes tabulating votes an even more painful process and really doesn't work wonders for my blood pressure.

Layout:

There will be six separate threads for the awards....

Due to my lack of internet, and it being so unpredictable, the dates which these threads are made cannot be determined, so I will have to give you rough times that these will be happening.

Discussion Thread
The thread where you share you opinions on the current system. Suggestions, complaints, comments, etc belong here to prevent clutter.
(This thread)

New Award Nominations
Nominate new awards you would like to see for this year's ceremony.

New Award Voting
You will vote for the best nominations for new awards. Only the ones with the highest votes will be included.

Nominations
After the discussion is over, it is time for the nominations. You nominate designers, scenarios, mods, etc in this thread.

Voting
After nominating the fun doesn't stop! This thread is used for voting, and ONLY voting. No comments please.

Presentation
The fun is still not over! The winners of the awards will be presented in this thread after being tallied up.



Now is where you come in. Discuss anything that has to do with the awards. What awards do you want? When should the nominating/voting take place? Do you like ice cream? Should the nominating happen in a different way? Everything is on the table for discussion. (Though is not guaranteed to change).

Important changes this year:

All new awards nominated last year that made it will be automatically added to the new award nominations. Feel free to nominate more, and then we'll do the voting.

All voting will take place through a thread located in the scenario design section here, which should help alot! Voting will take place by using a poll - This will all be done on a thread located in the Scenario Design Section, so it will save me alot of headaches. These polls will prevent sibling voting - so please let me know if this affects you and we'll work around it.

If anyone else would like to host one of the above threads, please let me know by email.



Thanks to Yeebaagooon, as I lovingly ripped off your format for these awards.
