Spoilers ;) This has been planned for years and half there. It will be interesting.

Or making the category a little more open (so those who have been here one or two months have chance at the next one, etc.

I would merge it into this new one IMO

There are two sets of creature stats, the natural creatures stats and a creature specific one. These stats could be trained up on an individual creature to make a super powerful one.

Typically in the past, in these cases, random people nominate that person just because. Similarly, when someone has been close to not being able to win a category due to too few people, random people have suddenly been nominated.

Some awards by giving the award away just demean the value of it. Its not really a reward. It needs to be decided case by case surely.

That's quite a nice way to change newest newb to make it fairer and more open, previously it was pretty biased towards people who have been around the whole year and this means more people have a chance and not just the first year. I like it!

Added the code tags, pmed you some suggestions.

Thank you Grido :) Im not convinced even three are needed. The system literally lists out who has voted where, I could probably spend 5 minutes to make it autocount if that helps? Its just one query. I always open discussions on points :P, makes it more interesting. You need someone to start fighting a rule generally before others will question it. Its just we are innately set out to obey them (generally). I think you need a combination of categories and the actual numbers. Some categories are quite specific but quite important. Hence why asking for the categories above.

Last year we had a week of very little comments with the rules then suddenly a load of discussion on categories and how the rules apply to them. It would probably make more sense to run them at the same time to not allow confusion and complaints later.

This was originally hidden as it was potentially abusive however after looking at the code the understanding is incorrect and the tool is working fine. Please remember if you think your bug is abusive to not report it publicly :) Thank you no one for reporting this potential bug.

Should all be rewritten now :)

>>- The previous categories will be listed in a thread, and players can then argue for different ones to be added/removed - if players agree, then it will be so. Where? I seem to have missed them. >>- Certain categories have relevant restrictions on them, these can be changed/created/removed, but only prior to nominations opening. I assume this is in the other thread? >>- There will be 3 people counting votes and organising this. These people will not be able to be nominated, however they are able to vote. Three? >>- There will be a minimum of 3 players nominated for each category, no maximum. Why 3 minimum? Surely it should be decided on a case by case basis. E.g. if someone is really deserving then they should get it, or if its not that great of a category, remove it.

MD has forgotten where it lives on the internet, The crons run fine but cant connect to MD to run some stuff. Im rewriting them to run them differently now :)

Congratulations to all participating. Jubba wins the highest points and therefore gets to choose between his silver share and a custom medium value reward, or something akin to a wishpoint, morph or similar by forgoing the silver. We will be running a second contest led by two leaders and will feature slightly different rules in a month or so. A major part of the scoring will be detailing how you gained high scores, how you we can reduce that and abusing these methods. The idea is to try and improve how the contest is run, and then run it with actual lands.

We are back online. Only a small amount of daily progress is likely to have been lost.

Upload still ongoing. Going well :)

It is him.

Im restoring the lost data. We shouldnt have lost any data :)

Progress so far: Im restoring MD onto my machine and running some checks. So far its all looking good. I have a backup a couple hours ago and from what I can see the problem was a dodgey backup causing some issues to one of our tables. --- The backup has just been restored while I was typing this. Im going to do some investigation.

Thanks all. Im working on trying to determine whats going on. I think we had a major database issue so im lookin at restoring some data but its slow going due to my slow upload speeds. We shouldnt lose too much data here.

Im looking into this. If anyone who is having issues can post their playername, and account ID please.
