Suggestions - Forum Awards 2014

[quote=Meiyjhe]Greetings ladies and gentlemen, No fancy emblem, I am sorry. Anyway, people seemed to like this thing and I seemed to like this thing, so we're gonna do this again :P In this thread I basically announce that this is gonna happen again (which I just did) and give you the opportunity to give some serious feedback. Like seriously, go wild. I am alone in this organisation so any tips at all are welcome :P [b]First I will adress some things that will change from the Forum Awards 2013:[/b] * The nomination will be posted [i]earlier[/i] (maybe already in March) and I can probably get it [i]stickied[/i] as well. * After the nomination, I will give the nominees an opportunity to [i]cancel[/i] their own nomination by PM, before I post the votings. * All rewards will be different from last year. This means that the signatures will look different and that the future rewards may include actual [i]badges and titles[/i] in the future. Details about that are not yet known. * All categories will have a brief explanation in the nomination thread, so that people understand better what would make someone a fit for that certain category. * Funniest Guide Author category will be removed. A new category will replace this instead, yet unknown. * Presenting the rules of each stage more clearly. Do you yourself have any issues whatsoever, post them down below so I can use them. If you aren't sure yet but still want to help, here are some more specific questions: [h2][color=#ff8000][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/off-topic/forum-awards-2013-nomination-26025?page=1]Nomination 2013[/url][/color][/h2] [spoiler=nomination]Welcome to the nominations of the grand Forum Awards 2013. In this thread I will give you the opportunity to share some of the best experiences you had with mobafire, some of the best experiences you had with the community. This, dear reader, is by nominating the person, post, event or whatever for one of the following categories: * Most intellectual quote 2013 * Wittiest quote 2013 * Most intellectual poster 2013 * Most helpful member 2013 * Wittiest member 2013 * Peacekeeper 2013 * Best blogwriter 2013 * Best guidewriter 2013 * Best theory crafter 2013 * Best thread 2013 * Best signature 2013 * Best art shop 2013 * Best review shop 2013 * Best idea 2013 * Best forum game 2013 * Funniest guide author 2013 [color=#ff8000][b]Hey Meiyjhe! I found a category that fits perfectly with one of the experiences I had on mobafire during 2013![/b][/color] Great! Now you can nominate him/her/it. Of course, just posting down what you think was amazing is not enough for a nomination. For the nomination, there is some data necessary in order to let that person participate in the event. So for everyone that wants to nominate fill this in: [center][h2][color=#ffff00][b]My name:[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [center][h2][color=#ffff00][b]The nominated's name:[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [center][h2][color=#ffff00][b]Category:[/b][/color][/h2][/center] [center][h2][color=#ffff00][b]Link to activity:[/b][/color][/h2][/center] Once you filled everything, post it down below and it is considered nominated (if the nomination is sent by PM, if the nomination is about yourself or is the nomination posted without using the format as shown above, it will be ignored). You will see the nominated back during the votings. Are any questions, remarks or whatsoever? You can PM me about it or post it down below. :3 [rule] [color=#0080ff]Planning[/color] * 08-11-2013 Start of nomination * ~01-01-2014 End of nomination, start of voting * ~01-02-2014 End of voting * ~15-02-2014 Awards [i](where the date is in day-month-year)[/i][/spoiler]Questions: * Did you like the categories? Is there anything you would add or remove? * Did you think the rules were fair? Do you think an alternative to the scheme is necessary? * Do you think the planning was useful, or do you think I should be more specific? [h2][color=#ff8000][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/off-topic/forum-awards-2013-voting-26745]Votings 2013[/url][/color][/h2] [spoiler=voting]Welcome ladies and gentlemen, once more :D After many weeks of [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/off-topic/forum-awards-2013-nomination-26025?page=1]nominations[/url], the moment is finally there to vote on your favorite nominees. With a total of 16 categories and a total of 37 unique nominees, this should promise to be an interesting competition. Here, for you again, are all the categories listed, together with their nominees and examples of their work (click on the nominees name): LIST Now with all these categories we have seen many people that have nominated and many people that have been nominated. Since for this awards, an extern way of voting will be used, there is a set of things that should be taken in to account: [b]1. I cannot check who voted for what. Thus I trust that you do not vote on yourself.[/b] [b]2. People that have nominated someone, are not allowed to vote on your own nominee. Again, I have to trust you for this.[/b] [b]3. Due to the fact that having a 16 questions survey costs money, the survey has been split up in part (a) and (b). If you only wish to vote for 1 category, look first where you can find your spot of interest in the category list.[/b] [b]4. If you are interested in voting on multiple categories, you will have to finish your voting in one go (seperate for quiz a and b of course). The voting cannot be done over once you have finished it, so vote carefully.[/b] [b]5. Do not know what to vote for? Click on the links given in the category list. There you can find a sample that should help you to make a decision.[/b] The voting will end due the 1st of February, therefore it is recommended to vote before that time. Later, the results with all the rewards will be posted in a new thread. Only I myself can see the total results and I will only share the winners of each category, meaning that the total ranking will not be shared. Finally, each person can only win 1 category. If a person would in theory have the most votes in 2 categories, his biggest victory will be the award he will get. The other category reward will be given the the person in second place.[/spoiler]Questions: * Were the sample links useful, or didn't you use them at all? * Did you like how the voting went? Was the splitting up of categories a problem? Were the questions clear? Did it go smooth? * Did you think the rules were fair? Were they clear? [h2][color=#ff8000][url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/off-topic/forum-awards-2013-conclusion-27189]Results 2013[/url][/color][/h2] [spoiler=results]After months of nomination, weeks of voting, the moment is finally there! The moment where one of the people of mobafire get a spotlight, for being good at their categories and being completely awesome. So I have been looking at the results quite some time and I saw people jumping up and down in ranking, it was a true battle to see, a true exitement. Now in the end, the battle is over and all category has 1 winner. Yes, NO draws :D So how this works: Every category has one winner presented down below in the spoilers. That winner got the most votes in his/her category is free to take the content in the spoiler and put it in his/her signature. If that person would prefer not to take the signature, that person is also free to take the emblem above instead and do whatever (s)he wants with it. So go ahead! Open up the spoilers down below and see if you('re nominee) is in there! * [url=http://www.mobafire.com/league-of-legends/forum/off-topic/forum-awards-2013-conclusion-27189]Results[/url] Congratulations everyone! And for those we didn't find their names in the spoilers, do not worry, you were a great competition, and this event might come again next year! Thank you all for participating, it was a great experience for me to organise this whole thing, and if you want to I will organise this event again for 2014 :D Any opinions on the results, organisation, Forum Awards 2014 or anything else? Feel free to post it down below or PM me, so I can fix the problem asap or keep it in mind for the future.[/spoiler]Questions: * Did you like the way the results were presented? Would you want them to be more clear, or do you want them to be more exciting? * Did you like the rewards? Would you want them to be different? If so, in what way? Make sure that you post your ideas about the nomination asap so that I can throw the Forum Awards 2014 open at the beginning of March. Thank you all for your time and feel free to leave any suggestion :D Also; If anyone volunteers to help with the organisation, you are more then welcome to. Last time there was quite some work with the nomination collection and the voting thread making, so I always could use a pair of hands :3[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Do we really need to have another dick jerking concept on MOBAfail? These things are nothing more than popularity contests.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe][quote=Toshabi] Do we really need to have another dick jerking concept on MOBAfail? These things are nothing more than popularity contests. [/quote] Yep. So if you just keep being superTosh n stuff, ppl will like it, you will get more popular and you will win an award :3 People get popular for a reason. A lot of the winners weren't [i]that[/i] popular even. Voosha posts nothing except on his own guide and won his award (which I think he also deserves). Bludes, in comparison to his opponents, is overal less active and posts less, yet he won his award too (which he also deserves :P). Surely popularity influences the outcome, but quality just as much.[/quote]

[quote=Graypozo][quote=Meiyjhe] * Funniest Guide Author category will be removed. [/quote] Why? It seems like a good category to me :3[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe][quote=Graypozo] Why? It seems like a good category to me :3 [/quote] There aren't a lot of comedy guides and there is not a lot of interest in it. A lot of people voted "No opinion" in this category, which makes this category a bit out of place as I see it.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Imma bite. Best Ranked Journey Thread.[/quote]

[quote=Meiyjhe]Alright, since the feedback kinda stops going, I assume I know everything that I need to know. EXCEPT ONE THING! :OOOO I want one more category to replace the "Funniest author" category, so if you can think of anything; post it down below :D I'll pick the best one.[/quote]
