Watcher Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 It would be refreshing to see a new batch of winners this year as opposed to seeing the same names as last year. I propose a small twist to this year's, and every subsequent, ceremony: Any individual who has won an award the previous year is ineligible for nomination, in any category, for the year following. The thinking behind this is to see more people honored and awarded for their excellence or contributions in certain areas than to see the same people win yet another accolade, whether it be deserved or not. In my experience here, it is the same people lauded repeatedly when there are others who are just as deserving, if not more so, of such praise, but who go unrecognized. This is a chance to encourage those who do great things to continue doing so. However, with Magic Duel's low census, coupled with the popularity of certain people and their characters, I realize this might not be an option for all or any of the categories, or that it might meet with strong opposition by, or from specific entities within, the general population. It is still something to be considered. Tarquinus, Jubaris, Ivorak and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grido Posted November 29, 2009 Report Share Posted November 29, 2009 A compromise? How about they cant be given the same award twice, but are allowed to be nominated for other awards? Asterdai and Watcher 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Bored Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 (edited) that still looks less impressive than holding a running title, it also wouldn't show who really was the best, and that is what most of the awards are about aren't they?

Watcher Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 If the proposed idea does not merit inclusion in this or future tributes, then simply do not institute such a mechanism. It would be more interesting to see a wider range of people recognized for contributions than to see the same individuals celebrated repeatedly.

Root Admin Chewett Posted November 30, 2009 Root Admin Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Here is my opinion on each of the previous rewards Firstly i think these rewards should stay, as they seem Best Back Story Best Role Play Best Personal Papers Best Villain Best Techie Best LHO - seems an ok reward Outstanding Service to MD Rookie of the Year Best Protector Best Protector Best PWR - I think should be removed so we dont just have a best Pwr and we have more larger catagories that would fit into this, like Roleplay, Papers and Back story Best RPC - obviously should be removed Most Addicted, Best Quote- there have been few quotes added, so i feel this should also be removed Best Dojo Staff - There has been no real "SG" movement like the dojo was, it seems to have failed a bit more than the dojo did, due to Shadows lack of time, This is why i think the reward will only bring out people who want to try and win it And finally, Guess who will complain about these rewards Most Annoying, Least Convincing Alts - I do not see these are real rewards, it merely encourages something that i personally dont want to see, alts and annoying people. And also, these rewards are not likely to change over time, which means there will be continual rewards for these people. It was funny seeing people get them, but it seems pointless to have them again. They just seem to mock the other worthwhile rewards So please, Iab and Lib come to defend those "rewards" i can see from your posts you only want to keep them, and i dont think they are real rewards in comparision and therefore should be removed. Why create an award wherin you win all the time? It makes the entire rewards a laugh Tarquinus, Sparrhawk, Liberty4life and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Bored Posted November 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 That award i want kept because i want to see if i got it again, as i'm not that sure that i have been as annoying this year, and i was nominated and had no idea i was going to win that last year, and i wasn't even the one that suggested it, but i think that all catagories should stay, unless it is impossible for them to be judged, as with the rpc's, and to just add new catagories, as if there are more catagories, more people can win, and more can feel good about winning, and it allows the announcing of the winners of them to be grander, which is always a good thing, and there is always the chance another may have overtaken me, and that is my main interest in keeping the most annoying award.

Also, doesn't it make more sense to decide on the awards before nominating people?

Gargant Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 And once again, another case of akasha not getting all the facts before she publicly attacks my suggestions. DEDICATE! DEDICATED to calyx. She doesn't WIN the award. For example, every year someone wins the 'Ivan novello' award, he died years ago but somebody else wins it. It is still dedicated to Ivan novello.
