Greetings ladies and gentlemen,

Some time ago, I started the banana-awards. It was an oscarlike event concerning art and signatures made by the Mobafire community. However, it was quite impopular and was mainly visited by people who only make signatures themselves, which resulted in an event which I believe a lot of people forgot of its existence quite quickly.

So, here is my plan:
Creating a forum awards!


Forum Awards
It will be bigger, better and more awesome than the banana awards! It will include all forums (instead of just the art forum), it will take place for a longer amount of time (more chance to participate and vote!) and last but not least, instead of just the best in a category, the worst will also be winning >:)
So basically, a lot more people can join now :D

It will still be the same idea as it was with the banana-awards, meaning that you will have to nominate people in the next thread concerning the forum awards (meaning that you can't nominate yet!), vote on your favorites later on and then the conclusion will come. I will try to get some more awesome prices this time (though it is hard, considering I can't give a lot via Mobafire :P). So what are the categories?


Categories
Since this is broader and nothing specific, here is in some lines what the categories will look like:
1. Best poster 2013
2. Worst poster 2013
3. Best quote 2013
4. Worst quote 2013
5. Best thread 2013
6. Worst thread 2013
7. Peacekeeper 2013
8. Troublemaker 2013
9. And much more!


Participation
If you wish to join the event as a contestant or nominee, you will have to be nominated (or nominate yourself if necessary). Right now however, I will also need some people that can help me with the orginasation of the event. People that have ideas about this forum awards are thus free to help. I want to change a quite few things from last time (the voting system, the nomination, the categories etc etc.), so if you could help me I would appreciate it a lot (and of course, your name will be mentioned somewhere :D).

So, if you have any ideas, feel free to PM me or post here or whatever suits you :3
Thank you!


Nominations
The nominations will start based on the results given in the poll above. Based on the results, I will decide whether I create this event or not. Since I want at least 15 participants, I will not start the nomination untill the 15 people have picked the first answer. Also, I will need a solution for each problem (nomination, voting and rewards) before I will start the event. The only reason I would not start this event at all, is if there is a mayority that does not like my idea.

Concerning the date of the start of the event, I have no clue. It could be in months, it could be in days, I have no idea at all. Not untill the problems are solved the event will not start, and when the problems are solved I will try to make a post about it asap so you can nominate. Other than the banana awards, you will now have plenty of time to nominate others or yourself for this event, to prevent the issue of time :3


Thats it, for now
If there is anything you wish to say (explaining your vote on the poll, giving tips and tricks or whetever), feel free to post down below.

And that is pretty much it :3
Thank you for reading :D
Change is gooooood

i think the way you handled the voting system last time is good(i have no better idea :D ).
for categorys i would say also best and worst guide(i totally don't want that worst guide award)
and i would say that all the categorys that involve "worst" should be creative bad, not just plain bad(because a thread with just aaaaaaaaa is not really hard to make)

I was thinking of using an extern poll or something, so only I can see the results, it will make the conclusion more exiting :3

For the categories, like I said, I could put in best guide and worst guide, but I am not convinced yet. I will keep thinking about it :D

And finally, the voters will decide what the worst or the best would be, not me :3

We've got Best poster and Troublemaker right here.


Seriously though, I'm not sure why we'd want to put the worst things in the spotlight. That's kinda silly..
Also, 2013 isn't over yet, so we'd have to do one for 2012.

And I'm pretty sure this will be kind of a waste of time if it's not an official thing. Why don't you try to get Matt to arrange something like this?
"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T

If nobody "official" wants to do it, it can be a just for fun thing. still, a good idea imo.

People are already praising the bad quotes in signatures, so why cant we spotlight them in an awards? :D

I dunno how long we have to wait before we get 15 participants :D

I didn't do that yet. Maybe I should PM him :3

I'll do it right now.

EDIT: Done
Also asked for rewards such as titles :3

There's this quote that often appears on Searz's signature and it always makes me laugh hard.

Something along the lines of "MY WHOLE LIFE IS A WANK".. Pure gold.

On a more serious note, I think there should be a Worst 'X' awards, just for the giggles.

And since the forum awards are a bit general, you could sneak in a Best Signature Award there. I mean not best signature "maker", but best signature "owner" if you get what I mean.

I got a reply from Mowen :3

Mowen was already planning on doing a weekly "user recognition".

It isn't really an event, but overal it is the same idea, only then it would be more regular :3
Of course, if this idea would be implemented, the Forum Awards would be canceled :O

I know what you mean :3
That aswell could be implemented :D
