TJMitchell Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 Hey all, This is just a thread for people who wish to put their name forward to be on the award committee this year. I am doing away with the voting system this year (nominations will still be taken from the public) due to continued cheating and multi abuse. The number of people will be finalised after everyone who wants has put their names forward. The committee will be chosen by Aylib, Alfred and myself, who will also be on the committee obviously. Cheers, 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadDisney Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'd like to take part. And for the sake of transparency, I think each person's vote should be made public. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barney Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 How is it going to work if one of the nominees is a member of the ccoommiittee? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clydebankblitz Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I never won CEO of the year in 2015 or 2016 so the awards have been tarnished ever since. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornmma1 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 How is it going to work if one of the nominees is a member of the ccoommiittee?Then that committee member can't vote for that specific award. In case of a tie after voting for that award, Mike his vote would determine the winner. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I could volunteer but with Alfred already a part of it and Butcher also putting his name there I think there is too many naughty in that crew.Good luck with this year awards! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornmma1 Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I would like to be part of the committee, as I know a decent amount about all aspects of the game (fighting, companies, managers, forums,..), have been around long enough to know most people and the committee was in fact my idea. Also, I do not hold grudges, not even against those who have a grudge against me, and I vote unbiased. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

actionjackson Posted October 12, 2020 Report Share Posted October 12, 2020 I would like to be on the committee unless that precludes a more deserving alliance mate who in that case can serve in my place. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bwang Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Happy to be involved if you want me, could be fun. Action ^ would be a good selection too. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 How many people are going to be on this committee? I am up for it. Personally, i think the committee should be pretty large, a small committee (of lets say 10-20 members) pretty much makes the awards illegitimate because they are not a community vote. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJMitchell Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 So far we're getting 2's and 3's from the same alliance. It will likely be that not everyone from the same alliance will get in. 1-2 alliance members can get a general idea of what their alliance is thinking. And @Mentor, what made the awards illegitimate were all the 'new' accounts appearing out of nowhere to cast a vote on something they would clearly have no idea about. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 A committee larger than 20 is already all chat/forum active community anyway, not sure its feasible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the committee will decide which voters have "an idea" ? Oh hi Grumpy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyel Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Tbh, I don't see how alliances matter, since people here are both mature and reasonable enough not to vote for someone just because the person is in their alliance. Also, imo the committee should have a few of the absolutely top managers like AJ, Bwang, and thb; people from top org management, like Mentor and Butch; and some forum-content creators, like Bjorn and Camara (hate him or not, but arguing with Camara makes easily a quarter of all forum activity, which is a lot of entertaining content). How many people the committee has imo won't matter much, but it should ideally include people from all three named parts of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 And @Mentor, what made the awards illegitimate were all the 'new' accounts appearing out of nowhere to cast a vote on something they would clearly have no idea about. Why not simply make a rule that only VIP members who have been in the game for 3+ months have a vote? This will solve the issue and no committee will be necessary. Personally, i have no issue with a committee, however #1 it is way less fun for the community, #2 it is anti-democratic and #3 there is a bigger chance of it being bias (because there is fewer people involved). If i was to put out some names of active, unbias players who have a decent rapport in the forums, some names i would put out there are: Whymer Van Mastodon Marky Mark TJMitchell Power Shark Billy Arseworth Alika Webb Pablo Spezziale Randall McSweeny Mike Hunt Runt Bjorn O'Donnel Bwang Action jackson Laz Staz Bloody Gutz Carlos Castenada John Coffey Devin Skrumbellos Frank Abbot Bear Stevenson Alfred Winterbottom Note: I tried to avoid adding too many people from my own alliance or people who are known to be highly conflicting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJMitchell Posted October 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 So the committee will decide which voters have "an idea" ? Oh hi Grumpy No. The committee will decide on who wins the award. You should read things before answering. It will stop accounts made in the last month all voting for the same person. You may not agree with that sentiment but most will . A committee will also stop people from canvassing votes off site... Why not simply make a rule that only VIP members who have been in the game for 3+ months have a vote? This will solve the issue and no committee will be necessary. Personally, i have no issue with a committee, however #1 it is way less fun for the community, #2 it is anti-democratic and #3 there is a bigger chance of it being bias (because there is fewer people involved). Committee has been the general consensus for a year now. I'm pretty sure you even made a thread agreeing with the idea. This isn't a discussion thread, we had those 10 months ago, this is a put your name forward to be on the committee thread. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator001 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 great idea as long as its made up of decent and respected members of the community that have shown over time they are even handed (and there are plenty of them) this will work no problem No controversial characters or shit stirrers though as it will just turn into a shit fight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornmma1 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 lol Oh wouldn't that be nice sheesh... Mentor has a broad knowledge of the game, pretty much unmatched experience in the org business and has every right to nominate himself for the committee. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
