READ POLL carefully first and then vote for ALL the award topics you like.
Its rapidly approaching BFG time and we have yet to decide what the catagories are going to be. Thus this poll.
Your mission, should you decide to be Tom Cruise, is to vote in the poll for as many catagories as you like -
however we will only end up including the top 10 or so.
So to keep it fun, ALL catagories are up for selection ...
except for...
* forum king and queen
because...its a good one, they get to do the first dance
after the awards and its a nice "ultimate award" for the
end
After a few weeks of this I'll lop off the least favourite
catagories and make a web page available for you all to
vote on. (After nominations for some obscure catagories -
see below) On the off chance you think of other catagories
not on the list put "I would like <this>" in your post to
get it counted.
So once we choose catagories what then....?
Then we vote for people. A few notes though.
What do you mean by "best"?
Like every voting situation you're likely to get into in
your life, the BEST person/catagory/inanimate object you
may vote for is a personal choice, so let's not quibble
over what BEST actually means. So, for example where "Best
Poll Dancer" to one person may mean "funniest poll" to
others it may mean "most useful dance poll" and where
"Forum King and Queen" may mean "my best mates" to one, it
may mean "couple I'd most like to see dance together" to
another. That choice, good citizens, is entirely yours,
it's a fun addition to the B.F.G.
You need to be in it, to win it
Obviously you cannot vote if you're not on the forum, but
please vote even if you are not coming to the B.F.G. The
results will be announced in little tiny faux neon pixels
on this very forum after the event.
Obscure Catagories
"But Mr.Smurf, I'm new and I don't know anyone!"
Fret not peeps, at Francks suggestion we need to narrow
down the fields a bit. Not everyone is here all the time to
get to know everyone and its quite possible you missed a
post of genius at some point. Its certainly not bleedin
likely, but it is possible. Of course some of the
catagories are confusing too so we need some nominations
for the more obscure awards. With this in mind, I will
request nominations for any obscure catagories AFTER we
have narrowed down the catagories a bit with this poll. All
this will be done by email or webpage, as doing it via the
forum will raise debate we dont need, cause people to feel
the need to justify their nominations and possibly lead to
bruises, eye gouging and death. Anonymous nominations, i
think, is the safe way to go.
And as I will also be a possible candidate, I'll only
collate the results, all emails will be kept as proof
against cries of "foul play" and "you stinker"
Fancy Dress Competition
Prizes for fancy dress as per last year and the theme is
avatars. But to avoid last years desperate situation where
some people changed their avatars to something they already
had (cough..chicklet..cough) the theme this year
is...
you have to dress AS SOMEONE ELSES avatar!
I've got my outfit sorted, have you ?
