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

Thanks to an anonymous enigmatic personality codenamed N, we've got another round of the Member Awards! It's time to dig your mind for the best faces of 2023 you remember and give them an award!

The categories have been adjusted once more to better reflect the state of things - try it out, this could be our last. Or a new beginning. Time will tell...


Member Award Rules

• You can propose up to 5 names per category.
• You cannot nominate yourself.
• Please nominate & vote based on what you are familiar with - you are welcome, indeed encouraged to abstain from a category if you just don't know.
• Show up to nominate and get 5 rep for your trouble!
• Any nominee must have been active at least during the second half of 2023 - this includes posting in the fora, adding content/art/other contributions relating to a category and so forth. The Award committee holds discretion if a member qualifies as active enough.
• Permanently banned members cannot be nominated; suspended members could be if it strikes your fancy and they're valid fits though.
• To reach polling a member must have 3 nominations. Less may be accepted by the Committee if participation in a category is lower than reasonable.
• You have two votes per category. You don't need to use both and cannot use them both on one candidate. Any more than two will nullify your vote entirely and when cast votes are binding, so please be careful.
• Two candidates may win for each category!

To nominate, simply copy and paste the following, and post in reply to this thread stating which members you want to nominate. It is not mandatory to nominate in each category, nor do you have to give 5 alternatives for each of them: just nominate the people that you think are deserving the award in that specific category.

Please keep this thread strictly for nominations only. If you have any questions or comments please post them in the Commentary Thread. Non-nomination posts will be deleted.


Finally, this is the medal awaiting the worthy ones! Thanks everyone for participating and good luck to all who have been nominated!
