MD Awards 2012 - Nominations

[Grido]

Here will be the discussion for the various nominations for this year's awards.


- 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. These people are myself (Grido), dst, and Lightsage.
- You may not nominate those who belong to the same land as yourself (this not only means hard-coded, but also those people considered part of certain lands). [url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10995-md-awards-2011-24h-discussion/page__st__20#entry97297"]"[/url]This is an MD awards event, if a person deserves one of the awards, it is on the global level, not on local level, however capable the person is, which justifies the ban of the land nominations , possibly votes too[url="http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/10995-md-awards-2011-24h-discussion/page__st__20#entry97297"]"[/url]. [b]If you note nominations slipping through this, please let me know.[/b]
- There will be a minimum of 3, and a maximum of 5 players nominated for each category. Players are added/removed from the nominated by popular consensus. Organisers (and Mur) are allowed to add whoever they think appropriate to the lists prior to the nominations closing, if there are less than 5 names in the category at this point, we reserve the right to add appropriate names up to the total.
- Past winners will be allowed to be nominated again, however, if there are more than 5 names nominated when it closes, those will be the first removed.
- Mur cannot be nominated (sorry Mur), and Rendril cannot be nominated for Top Techy (or another award along the same lines).
- Previous Fossil (or a similar award if that does not exist this year) winners, cannot win again. (Chewett, Yrthilian...and I swear there were more, but can't find them)
- You may only nominate one person per category. If you nominate multiple people, none will be added.
- You may not nominate yourself, or another account you play.
- No editing posts in the nomination thread - purely because I'll potentially get confused.


As per the decisions of the category thread, the following is a list of categories for this year's awards, and below them a list of those nominated already.


Adventuring Award
For the person most dedicated, or who perseveres most at quests. Not necessarily for completing, or winning the most.
[color=#ff0000]- Nimrodel ([/color]Princ, Valldore Nal, DarkRaptor, [color=#ff0000])
- Darkraptor ([/color]Nimrodel,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Eagle Eye/Sky Army, Esmaralda, [color=#ff0000])
- Valldore Nal ([/color]DARK DEMON,[color=#ff0000] )
- Ignnus ([/color]nadrolski,[color=#ff0000] )
- AmberRune ([/color]Falronn,[color=#ff0000] )
- Dante Lionheart ([/color]Eara Meraia, [color=#ff0000])[/color]
[color=#ff0000]- Nadrolski ([/color]Menhir,[color=#ff0000] )[/color]

Best Beautification
For the person thought to be the most skilled at art in the realm. Generally speaking this refers to drawing/painting, rather than other forms of art.
For the player with the best presented papers. This is a purely objective vote, as every player finds different things nice looking. It also encompasses the player's backstory as presented in their papers. [[color=red]someone please "tidy" this description[/color]]
- Dante Lionheart (Burns, DARK DEMON, Plix Plox/Kellox, Falronn,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Valldore Nal, DarkRaptor, Xarr/shayanuser, )
- [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Neno Veliki [/font][/color](Princ, Nimrodel, )
- Lazarus (Rasiel, lashtal,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Eara Meraia, Merowinger, MRAlyon, )
- Gonzalocsdf (Eagle Eye/Sky Army, )
- Apocrypha Aquila (Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color])

Champion Fighter
For the person considered to be the best fighter in the realm, this does not necessarily have to be the strongest fighter in the realm, but the one that uses the combat system to the best effect.
[color=#ff0000]- Darkraptor ([/color]Burns, DARK DEMON, Nimrodel, [color=#ff0000])
- Manda ([/color]nadrolski, [color=#ff0000])
- MRAlyon ([/color]Peace, Eagle Eye/Sky Army, [color=#ff0000])
- Ignnus ([/color]DarkRaptor, Esmaralda, [color=#ff0000])[/color]
[color=#ff0000]- Tal ([/color]Eara Meraia, Merowinger, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color][color=#ff0000])[/color]
[color=#ff0000]- Nadrolski[/color] (Neno, )

Fossil of the year
For the player who has been around so long they have turned into a fossil. The player must be visibly active over the past year, and on the veterans list in game.
- Awiiya (Falronn,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Nimrodel, Maebius, MRAlyon, )
- Burns (lashtal,[color=#ff0000] [/color]DarkRaptor, Eagle Eye/Sky Army, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Esmaralda, )
[s]- Innocence (DARK DEMON, )[/s]
- Princ Rhaegar (Neno, )

The Golden Protector
For the player who is viewed as performing the best in the role of protector(MP6) during the past year. The player does not have to currently be a protector. The voter should take into account the actions of the other protectors in the realm, rather than automatically voting for their own. Best can mean how helpful the protector has been, to how effective they have been in recruiting worshippers, this is at the voters discretion.
- Peace (Burns, Nimrodel, Plix Plox/Kellox, Falronn,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Maebius, Valldore Nal, DarkRaptor, Merowinger, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Xarr/shayanuser, Esmaralda, MRAlyon, )
- Phantom Orchid (Peace, )
- Maebius (ZenTao, )

Helper of the Year
For the player deemed to have been the most helpful. This is open to any player, and is not restricted to LHOs. The area of helpfulness the player focusses on can vary, but due to the original focus of the award being to LHOs, it would be implied that the award is based on peoples helpfulness towards newer players. The voter should realise that even though they may not get on with, or have been helped by one of the nominees, this does not mean that the player is not indeed helpful.
[color=#ff0000]- Maebius ([/color]Nimrodel, Plix Plox/Kellox, lashtal,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Peace, Valldore Nal, Merowinger, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Esmaralda, [color=#ff0000] [/color][color=#ff0000])
- BFH Lightning ([/color]nadrolski, [color=#ff0000])
- Peace ([/color]Falronn,[color=#ff0000] [/color][color=#ff0000])
- Dark Demon ([/color]Maebius, DarkRaptor, [color=#ff0000])
- MRAlyon[/color] (ZenTao, )
[color=#ff0000]- Mya Celestia[/color] (Tom Pouce, MRAlyon, )

Most Addicted
For the player who just can't leave MD for more than a minute without needing a fix.
- Darkraptor (Burns, Nimrodel, Eagle Eye/Sky Army, MRAlyon, )
- Nadrolski (Princ, Neno, )
- Dark Demon (Maebius, )
- AmberRune (Peace, Valldore Nal, )
- Ignnus (DarkRaptor, )

Most Popular
[color=#ff0000][Description Needed][/color]
- Maebius (Burns, Nimrodel, Valldore Nal, )

- Maebius (Peace, )

Pre-eminent Role Player
For the player deemed to Role Play the best. The player does not have to stay in character all the time to win this award (though it may help), rather when they do role play it is to the highest standard - this does usually go in hand with remaining in character.
[color=#ff0000]- Azull [/color](Burns, Nimrodel, )
[color=#ff0000]- Phantom Orchid [/color](Princ, )
[color=#ff0000]- Fyrd Argentus ([/color]nadrolski, DarkRaptor, [color=#ff0000])
- Eara Meraia ([/color]lashtal,[color=#ff0000] [/color][color=#ff0000])
- Ackshan Bemunah ([/color]Maebius, [color=#ff0000])
- Lashtal[/color] (Eara Meraia, Merowinger, MRAlyon, )
[s][color=#ff0000]- Innocence[/color] (Falronn, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Neno, )[/s]

Prime Quest
For the player seen as creating the best quest over the past year. Just because a voter did not manage to complete the quest, does not mean it was a bad quest necessarily, the voter is asked to take this into account when voting.
- Lashtal [A day of fear, Look in the mirror] (DARK DEMON, Nimrodel, Plix Plox/Kellox, Falronn,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Valldore Nal, DarkRaptor, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color]MRAlyon, )
- Darkraptor [Halloween Cookies] (lashtal,[color=#ff0000] [/color])
- Awiiya [Bubble weaver] (Maebius, )
- Rumi [Community Garden Scarecrow] (Peace, Eagle Eye/Sky Army, )

Rookie of the year
For the player deemed to have made the most progress since they started their account. The player must have created their account since 1st November 2011 and have more than 20 AD at the time of voting. By progress it is meant a step towards a defined role or position (not necessarily official) within the realm, or integration within the community to a large degree.
- Dark Demon [04.07.2012, 21:02] (Burns, DarkRaptor, Eara Meraia, Xarr/shayanuser, )
- Valldore Nal [22.04.2012, 16:20] (Nimrodel, lashtal,[color=#ff0000] [/color]Eagle Eye/Sky Army, )

- Eara Meraia [23.07.2012, ] (Merowinger, MRAlyon, )
- Dante Lionheart [24.07.2012, 09:52] (Ackshan, Menhir,[color=#ff0000] [/color])

(edited for better spacing and format, no changes to actual nominations made)

Adventuring Award
- My nomination already listed.

Best Beautification
- My nomination already listed.

Champion Fighter
- My nomination already listed, argh!

Fossil of the year
- Awiiya definitely!

The Golden Protector
- Peace, without fail


Helper of the Year
- Dark Demon always offers to help, and my other choice is already listed.


Most Addicted
- Dark Demon is an obvious choice in my mind

Most Popular
- hmm.... Fang Archbane. Everyone knows him, and we are always talking about him.
(if Popular is re-defined as liked... I may have to change this, but I saw Eon there too, so figure it fits)

Outstanding Service to MD
- BFH Lightning, (because I can't nominate Chewy for his foruming)


Pre-eminent Role Player
- Ackshan Bemunah springs immediately to mind for me, as a not-yet-nominated-but-should-be.

Prime Quest
- Awiiya for his "get a bubble weaver after doing my quest" quests, which were varied and fun and are sorely missed.

Rookie of the year
- My nomination already listed.

Top Techie
- does Master of Ceremonies count, for Kake and all the other 'techie craftables?'
(probably falls under the mur/rendril/etc restriction, sadly)

Edited December 4, 2012 by Maebius

[Chewett]

i was under the impression you should nominate people twice so that if there is a tie and people need to removed then the number of nominations are influenced?

[lightsage]

Yes if there's more than 5 nominees the ones with the fewest nominations (= amount of people that nominated them) will be removed. So that there will be 5 (or less) nominees remaining in the category.

[Grido]

All above added.

Please note, Adventuring Award now has more than 5 nominees. So along with voting, please also suggest one of them to be removed (as well as for one you wish to stay in or added).

I need a name for the quest Darkraptor is being nominated for.

I need account creation dates for the rookies.

[lashtal]

Darkraptor's quest was Halloween Cookies:
http://magicduel.invisionzone.com/topic/13146-halloween-cookies/page__hl__cookies

If my memory doesn't fail me, Valldore Nal created his account on April.

[Grido]

For the rookies, preferably they post the dates, so that we know it's accurate, thanks though.

And thanks for the quest name.

[Peace]
