For any category that says Top- or Best- anything, use your own criteria to base your decisions.

Nominations only for now. The actual polls will be posted up in exactly 2 weeks, please send your nominations before then. Results will be posted Dec. 31st or Jan. 1st, depending on your time zone (I’m in -5 GMT)

Simply copy and post this thread into a PM and put in your nominations (I’m trying to keep this as private as possible, to eliminate things like peer pressure and cheating). Yes, you may vote for yourself. If you don’t have a nomination for a category, leave it blank but try to give a nomination for each category. You may have a max of 3 noninations per catagory and you may nominate any member an unlimited number of times.

Also, if you have a suggestion for an additional category, contact me.

Thanks, this could be fun! :blush::D

(am I actually allowed to do this?... :D )

nice idea, although you'll have to round up like, everybody for it to work

i already nominated a few people for some things.

are we supposed to send the nominations in PM form?

I hope not, i already didn't.

I would make this pinned so it shows up on all forums.

kin'ell....so now you have to loving compete to be here?

ok...

1. What is kin'ell?

2. Who said you had to compete? It's just a fun little game.

i) kin'ell is short for f**king hell!

ii) it looks like that by default one does if one wants to stay.

huh? These are meant more for fun than anything else.

I was a little unsure though about making "top composer" catagories ect. but it's a way for people to express their opinions and someone will feel good about it.

If you're not comfortable with it, I understand but it is after all just for fun and just a game. If you don't like it, just don't play. ;)

Semiotics....

:unsure:

I just know the nominating and voting is going to be extremely cliquish...

No scraggy?????

but it will be fun none-the-less!

Well, if you can think of a way to make it non-clique-ish, please tell me :unsure:

it's in the first post :unsure:

I think I said 2 weeks tomorrow and that he results will be up on the last day of the year.

Gives people *lots* of time.

But I could push it up if enough people nominate in time

wow. this thread is awesome. give me a couple hours and ill send you some of my nominations. good thinking, hillary!! :D

I just know the nominating and voting is going to be extremely cliquish...

Does anyone ever understand Letehn? :D

Moving right along... for nomination, please use people's usernames and not their real names. It keeps things a little clearer in my mind when I'm updating the results at 2 am :P

eg. refer to Alex as Eddwin0072, not Alex.

Nominations close this sunday.

If you want a say, please PM me your nominations :sweat:
