But you can't send them until it's time to send them, and for those times you should see the first post of the thread for the schedule. Second thing to know is what to title your PM. I would call it "Best Running Gag Nomination", or whatever nomination your sending, just so the person recieving the PM knows what the PM is for. Third, make sure to include the title of the comic and the person who makes it somewhere in your PM. A nomination is meaningless if it has no name or writer to go with it! I would include it near the top of the PM. Fourth, you must make sure to include examples from the comic you're nominating. To do this, you'll need to put in image links for an example update from that comic. Be sure to include a space, so the person accepting nominations can just copy and paste them into the voting thread, like so: http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/401Mas.jpg[/ IMG] [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/402Mas.jpg[/ IMG] You can put the space anywhere you want, just make sure there's A space somewhere. Hopefully this will help people make some nominations, and if anyone feels there's something that could or should be included, let me know and I'll add it in. Same rules RULES READ THEM VERY IMPORTANT!! 1. No self nominations- I think its fair to do this cause then everyone would be nominating themselves. In my opinon those who truly earned it don't need to vote themselves 2. NEVERMIND. Every nomination sumbitted will count if it follows the other rules!! 3. Nomination must be from 2011- Meaning the start date does not matter as long as it is from 2011 it can be nominated. With the exception of best new comic it obivously be from 2011. 4. Past winners CAN be nominated- I originally said past winners can't but I decided to chamge that they can be thrown in the ring. 5. Send in nominations via PM to the people listed above in the certain catergories they will be in charge of 6. The way the schedule work is two are done at the same time so if you see some without dates then simply look above them to find out when it is. [B][U]FOR PEOPLE IN CHARGE OF POLLS!!![/U][/B] (Name of Comic #1) - (Maker of Comic #1) (Include name of gag, character, etc. if necessary) [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/401Mas.jpg[/ IMG] [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/402Mas.jpg[/ IMG] (Name of Comic #2) - (Maker of Comic #2) (Include name of gag, character, etc. if necessary) [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/401Mas.jpg[/ IMG] [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/402Mas.jpg[/ IMG] (Name of Comic #3) - (Maker of Comic #3) (Include name of gag, character, etc. if necessary) [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/401Mas.jpg[/ IMG] [IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e26/defender2222/402Mas.jpg[/ IMG] ......................................................... So that's the basic layout of a voting thread. But the people making the threads will also have to check off the include poll. For 'Poll Question', just write the name of the category the thread is for. So 'Running Gag' if it's the running gag vote. In each option, include the name of the comic and the maker of the comic (and the gag, character, etc. if necessary. So for example: Comic #1 - Maker - gag Comic #2 - Maker - gag And finally, include how many days you want to keep the voting open. Be sure to check the schedule in the first post to see when your poll is supposed to close. So if your poll starts on the 20th and ends on the 22nd, you have to put '2' in the Close Poll box. Hope this helps everyone who's accepting nominations. So if anyone else has any ideas on what they want to see changed from last year just let me know. Also I will need to have people who can take charge of certain areas and handle the nominations so anyone interested let me know. Anyways I'm figuring out a schedule now peace
We'll actually I run the last ones which would be best serious and funny(and new as well) but if you like you can have those two and lighten up my load while I take care of new and best overall
You can have best running gag but I will handle best new comic you can have another of your choosing. BTW anyone interested will most likely have to take on two awards to run
You can't nominate your comic, other people have to nominate it. Basically how it goes is a schedule will be made for when each category will be done. For each category, whoever is in charge of it will mention here to send in nominations to them for that category. Then after enough nominations have been sent or enough time has passed for nominations to be sent in, another thread will be created with a poll for all the nominations for people to vote on. Here's a link to last year's thread, I'd say go through it for the best sense of how it goes. I can say that I'm looking forward to this year's awards.
Now, I'm not saying that you guys would accept bribes...but if you did... ...oh screw it...I'll just do this fairly* *If by fairly you mean kidnapping all the competition...
okay, I'll nominate the screamer life as best new comic, and smolder's credit card(out of the box) as best running gag
Yay, 2012 Funnies Awards time! I've already got a few nominations ready for at least three of the categories. Now, just got to wait for the nominations to open...
Looking forward to these all year! Let's get them started! Whoa hold on, you'll get your chance to nominate, but this here ain't it.
Nominations aren't open yet, and besides that, nominations are to be sent via PM. That way, none of the comic creators will know their comic's being nominated until it's voting time. Seriously, please read the rules and if you have any questions about the nomination and voting process, ask the people in charge of the awards.
Yes! I didn't produce any comics during the calendar year 2011, thereby exempting myself from this arduous fiasco!
