Now, can someone remind me of all the rules? Shame the last Ciddie's thread has been lost =/ Ah well.
Now, here's what I recall - feel free to suggest adjustments and/or remind me of what I've missed.
Rule #1 - You can nominate yourself for no more than two awards.
Rule #2 - You can nominate any one member for no more than five awards.
Rule #3 - Do not post your nominations - PM them.
Rule #4 - PM nominations to Award Guy, not Loony BoB.
Rule #5 - PM your nominations by the closing date. (not yet known, of course)
Rule #6 - Do not spam up the Ciddies Thread with self-advertising.
Rule # 7 - You can not nominate more than one person per award. If you do, I'll take the first one you've nominated.
Rule #8 - You can't be nominated for avatar, custom rank and/or sig if you do not have an avatar, custom rank and/or sig.
Rule #9 - You can change your avatar, custom rank and/or sig during nominations and finals. This shouldn't cause any major issues, as you can only earn what awards you recieve, be the votes late or early, that's your problem.
Rule #10 - Changes can be made once, and additions can be made however often you like. Please title any PM's with Changes as 'Nomination Changes' or 'Vote Changes', and the same for additions (only 'Additions' should replace 'Changes' in the title. Duh).
Rule #11 - You can only be nominated/voted for one of the 'rank-categorized-awards'. Best Admin, Cid's Knight and Recognized Member have automatic entry for all of the obvious included members. All other people with custom ranks are considered veterans, and all other members are either regulars or newbies. Regular Members are those who have joined over 3 months ago, and Newbies have to have joined less than 3 months ago. Exactly 3 months? Ehhh... Newbie. And this goes from exactly 3 months from the time nominations opened, not when you decide to nominate.
*deep breath*
Also - You don't have to make nominations for every award.
Also - The Cutest Couple award does not count into the five nominations for another member of your choice, but it does count towards your two self-nominations.
Also - All nominations are strictly confidential - the only people with access to the Award Guy account are Daryl and Loony BoB, and Daryl will only use the account if instructed to do so (ie, if some disaster occurs and I need to send out dozens of PM's to all the members that have already nominated/voted, as the case was last time).
In addition to that - You can not post your nominations or votes until after the final voting has occurred - a thread will be made for them a bit after the results are shown.
Also - To be nominated into the second round for an award, a member must obtain two nominations in that award. However, should eight members all recieve three nominations, then the cut-off will be raised to three nominations, and the same for four members recieving four nominations each, and so on.
Also - Let's keep it fun
Final voting had different rules, and I'll get around to them when the time comes
id win that one!
