ANNOUNCEMENTS

[on:]

Award categories have been finalised and await naming. Once that's done, the list will be made available, and nominations will be opened.

[Reply #1 on:]

I know Xanfor is naming the awards and I am sure he will do a great job, but would it be possible for you to post what awards will be given out?  I'm curious to see what they are and how many we have (from the large list Bend-err posted in the Awards thread).


EDIT: CZ, you are not even in the ballpark of "spammer of the year".  Sorry, but you are too good of a poster.
Besides, nominations will only start once the awards have been named and presented for nominating.

[Reply #2 on:]

Keep calm, the categories will be made public soon. Then nominations can either be made publicly in the thread, or in private by sending a mail.


If you do go by mail make sure your Username is the Subject of it.

I nominate Free Hot Meal for the Captain Obvious Award of Obviousness.


And I'm very much looking forward to seeing what clever names Xanfor comes up with for the awards. I always hated when we had bland titles.

[Reply #4 on:]

Naming the awards?  Lame.

The MP3 Compression Artifact Award for Most LAME PEELer?

[Reply #5 on:]

Calm down people... I hope your eagerness is as big when it comes to actual nominations and votes.

[Reply #6 on:]

Spam removed. Don't make me lock this. Only cromulent posts, please.

[Reply #7 on:]

So how long will nomming be open, and then how long will voting be going on?

I ask, because bend-err, who is doing a really good job at advertising, keeps asking me to do my nominations, but I want a space of free time to do it, and it's debateable if I'm not going to be gone all weekend or not.... possibly 90% of that time on a plane, and 15 minutes with you "getting hammered drunk"....

[Reply #8 on:]

They'll be open for a while, we need to collect enough nominations to have a clear set of runners for the final vote. The way things stand at the minute, we need a fair few more.

[Reply #9 on:]

Perhaps if you give the deadline, then everyone wouldn't take their time providing the nominations.

[Reply #10 on:]

Deadline: Last week! You're all late! I say, 2 weeks detention.

[Reply #11 on:]

We haven't actually talked about that. Suffice it to say it'll be after the end of the month.

[Reply #12 on:]

Thank you for the info.  I have been so busy at work this past week (and will be extremely busy this weekend), that I wanted to make sure I had enough time to think out/make my noms.

Also, can we send the noms in via PM, or would you rather just have them sent to the e-mail given (I assume you all have access to it this way)?

[Reply #13 on:]

Email is easier since everyone can easily have access to them etc.

[Reply #14 on:]

I could have sworn I read the deadline being March 6th somewhere.  Then I read in the other thread that it was Sunday.... before Sunday came.  I'm assuming the 6th is a safe bet.  I probably would have made mine already, but as I said, I was possibly going to be gone for the weekend, and I was....... what a trip.........

[Reply #15 on:]

On last Sunday Tnuk said it's Sunday, so yes, March 6th.

[Reply #16 on:]

Just a note, FHM, only the four who are running this can see the emails. Suffice it to say that none of your personal info will be available, and after the awards that account will probably be closed, and all the info will disappear.

Just because you sounded a little bit paranoid there

[Reply #17 on:]

You could always set up another email address if you're really paranoid.

No...not paranoid, just lazy.  My computer has been acting really slow right now (ie when opening up new tabs/browsers) and I am in the middle of having to transfer all e-mail service to another account because my school account is being deleted since I graduated last May.  Deciding on my noms and then just cut-pasting into a PM just sounded lazier.  But I'm just going to e-mail them.

Sorry for the "spam" tnuk.  But I wanted to respond.

[Reply #19 on:]

you can also always post them here...

[Reply #20 on:]

Yea, but some of the categories are "negative" and I don't want to upset anyone.

[Reply #21 on:]

You mean PILF?

[Reply #22 on:]

not really...attention whore, spammist peeler (though I think the true spammers probably won't care about being nomed), most annoying.

[Reply #23 on:]

Hell I used my 2008 PILF Award as my Facebook profile pic.

[Reply #24 on:]

So conceited, but we love you really, Randi!

FHM: don't worry about offending people. Really. We're hard-headed.

[Reply #25 on:]

You have a hard time trying to offend anyone in my view, but then I came up with the Anti-PEELies all those years ago.

[Reply #26 on:]

Didn't we all get banned for that?  Or was it just me?

Things come full circle.

[Reply #27 on:]

Actually, they tend to come in full ellipses. Rarely do things in life have only one foci.

[Reply #28 on:]

Sometimes there are two, or three. What a day that was!

I'll get around to doing noms sometime... soon... ish...

[Reply #29 on:]

Didn't we all get banned for that?  Or was it just me?

I never got banned, however I did that, no idea.

[Reply #30 on:]

So, tomorrow will be the last day for nominating.

[Reply #31 on:]

ok...so I am work now for another 7ish hours.  I have my noms completed, but they are on my home computer.  I will sent them off tonight when I get home.

EDIT: From tnuk's post, it seems I have a bit more time to play with than I thought as I didn't know what clock you were using for the cutoff.

[Reply #32 on:]

My clock. Which currently says 9:25 pm, Saturday 5th March 2011.

[Reply #33 on:]

Is FHM a boy or a girl?  It doesn't matter, I hope he/she feels embarrassed for me throwing my PILF nomination at him/her.

[Reply #34 on:]

My clock. Which currently says 9:25 pm, Saturday 5th March 2011.

Back from work...PEEL noms sent out.

[Reply #35 on:]

So I was sifting through all my old posts and came across this topic. Did I unwittingly start the motion for the PEELies we have today? I find this very interesting indeed.

[Reply #36 on:]

Nominations closed. Voting will open soon.

[Reply #37 on:]

Nominations finalised. Voting will open very soon.

[Reply #38 on:]

Nominations finalised. Voting will open very soon.

Hey, thanks very much to you and the council for coordinating and collating all of this.

* Tachyon gets a head start for most suck-up sycophant PEELer for 2011

[Reply #39 on:]

Actually... I think the blind polls were actually a pretty decent way to go.  With the amount of awards, everybody can say what they think about each one and vote without knowing the results.  I don't think the blind poll option would have been applicapable in the past, but it's cool that you did decide to go with this method.  Kudos tnuk.
