    Default TWC 2023 Member Awards: Commentary Thread

    NOMINATIONS -- COMMENTARY -- VOTING -- RESULTS
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Member Awards Commentary, 2023

    Few very important highlights
    - Everyone can nominate up to 5 people in each category.
    - Everyone gets a maximum of 2 votes per category in the voting stage. If you vote for only 1 you cannot use your second vote later, if you vote for more than 2 your votes will be discounted.
    - Everyone participating in the nomination will get 5 rep.
    - Nominations will wrap up April 30th unless extended May 31st. Voting will last until June 16th with results posted shortly after.

    If you'd like to spread the word - feel free! Drop a link through Discord, whatever, pls avoid asking for nominations from people though, that's not so cool.



    Be sure to deposit oodles of rep on these fine figures who made the awards happen this year.

    Narf, without whom none of this would exist from categories to art to sheer grit to make it happen.
    Flinn, for additional encouragement and a senior eye.
    Dismounted Feudal Knight, for some discussion and admin stuff.

    Special credits (were involved in the channel and/or encouragement);
    Gigantus, for being the shoulder this event was perched on.
    Cookiegod, for serving cookies in the discussion process.
    Cope, for valiant encouragement.

    Voting time!

    Dismounted Feudal Knight,
    on behalf of the
    Member Awards Committee

    I reject any implicit and/or explicit accusation, conjecture or allusion about me being the one behind this category. It's this kind of things that destroy the trust of people into politics and politicians, and this needs to end now. Also, covfefe.

    Now if only I could find some time for casting my nominations... I don't seem to be able to remind any valid name.. *coff coff*

    fun fact there's a failsafe in the vBulletin code that deactivates this site once you finally give me my well deserved loincloth

    Necessarily nominations go out to May 10th, I doubt we'll be getting a requisite half dozen at least nominations needed to make this fruitful over the course of this evening...

    Another option is to leave it open until there are X "nominators".

    Haven't been well as of late and have not updated everything but this should be considered open for nomination until the 20th ish.

    I made joke comments earlier, so I forgot to say something more earnest: It's cool that this site still exists after all these years, and that we still have people who care enough to keep it going. At the end of the day, we've all spent a considerable part of our life here. Seeing Narf and DFK putting a lot of time and effort into organising this award was heart warming, and I find it great that, while so many people have been lost over the years, we still have many of the OG's still around. I think I've known of Gigantus for example since I think the German Total War Forum, and if not from there, then from my time at the StrategieZone at the latest.

    This site has aged obviously, and especially Total War is not what it used to be, having switched from a sandbox game full of immersion and interesting choices even in the vanilla versions to whatever it is today, but these member awards shows that at the end of the day, people are what matter.

    Also seeing the syphilitic and geriatric Flinn still alive surprises me year after year and keeps forcing me to delay my inevitable coup d'etat.

    Fine, I'll vote, Cookie. But only because of your post.

    Alright, current idea is to close out on the 30th and have voting up on or before the first of July, to cap off a couple weeks after.

    And voted I have.

    I just want to say again thank you to Narf for insisting on having these awards and to DFK for running them.. I was ready to drop them (I already dropped them in fact), but all in all running them was still the right thing to do.. once more unto the breach, dear friends!

    Also thanks as well to the other Committee members, all minus Cookie: as usual he did absolute jack .
