Here ye, here ye, here ye! The 12th Annual Awards will start upon the 1st of November, Year of Our Lord 2011. Community, Roman, Medieval, Empire, Napoleon and Shogun award nominations will appear upon that date, open for a month, then close. Voting will follow in december, and finally the winners shall be announced in the new year.

Bearing in mind this'll be the last one we'll ever do if the mayans were right seeing as it's 2012 next year

The categories shall be of similar style as before. Any particularly funny or interesting campaigns for certain awards may be mentioned on here once in a while.

Candidates may bribe, cajole, persuade, hold a weapon of choice to voter's head, or plead (but not maim, that's not cool). Go.

Current Headlines
We require a presenter or seven, we're not quite sure yet. Please e-mail eojup(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk with an application of why you want to do it, and a short story of Terikel's day in the EXCO office that is no more than 100 words. You won't be judged on the short story, it's just for our amusement.
If you want to throw in any ideas you have for it, go ahead.
Those who have entered their name into the ring will be contacted by the end of Nominations Phase. Thank you for all who have put their name forward so far.

News Just In
Inside sources say that the nominations for Inky and Clyde are at unprecedented levels for "most likely to be promoted". We asked Terikel on if there were any truth in this, and he replied that either of them couldn't possibly do any less work around here than I do! Stay tuned.

We can now reveal the categories on which you shall be voting on.

Seeing as you spent most of this year wingless, I would argue against that.

I autocorrected that as signore, because, well, pretty much all words end in a vowel. My bad. You're right.

And well, one can hardly run for 'most likely to be made staff' when one has already become staff. It seems oddly self serving.

Draak, you can still be promoted; Angel, and then Seraph... who knows, you could be HG CEO one day...

Terikel's the only one here who as far as I know cannot possibly be promoted any further. Which is why I would like to see it happen.

I really have nothing to say at this point.

Will do.

I'll be placing my votes when I get home from work today, giving everyone else approximately six hours to offer your bribes.

Wasn't Edorix nominated (and consequently, won) best newbie the year of last or the year before? Sometimes, it's like that

I think it was Winter 2009 and Summer 2010 that I won best newbie, so at 18 and 24 months membership respectively... still, Awesome's been here about as long as I have, so it's hardly appropriate another eighteen months after that!

There's no logic to it, Eagle. Don't worry about it.
