We have our categories. Nominate up to five people per award, post your noms here, or email them to the address Nutmeg has set up if you prefer. Nutmeg, what was that address again?

Please nominate in the following format, nominations incorrectly formatted will not be counted.

Award Name
1. your nomination
2. your nomination
3. your nomination
4. your nomination
5. your nomination

You don't have to use bold or underline, those are for emphasis. But a nice neat numbered nomination list is not only necessary, but needed. To make the job of my helper-elves easier.

Get to it. Noms will close when we have three clear top contenders for each award.

    * The "Aim Better Next Time" Award for Most Missed PEELer
  
    * The "Moved to Yemen" Award for Most Missed PEELer

 

[Reply #3 on:]

Also, do we have to type out the whole name of the award, or can we just put what it's for?  (most missed, spammiest, etc...)

[Reply #4 on:]

Of course not, and as a counter I would appreciate if you didn't use the full name.

[Reply #5 on:]

As long as it's entirely clear what award you're referencing, that's fine.

[Reply #6 on:]

   
    * The "Aim Better Next Time" Award for Most Missed PEELer
   
    * The "Moved to Yemen" Award for Most Missed PEELer

 

Fixed. Sorry. Blame Xanfor. It's almost his fault. But if you're going to blame him, then thank him for naming the others first.

[Reply #7 on:]

And yes. To further elaborate on what Bend-err said:

The email located in my signature is the one for PEELies. Make use of it if you're not comfortable with everyone knowing who you think is annoying or PILF or whatever.

Only us helper-elves can read it. It's okay.

And yes, email format:

Subject: username.
Main text: includes nominations in correct format as highlighted in the first post


Please stick to this. I'm good with organisation but putting things in wrong places accidentally frustrates me. And I may throw my laptop if that occurs.

[Reply #8 on:]

[Reply #9 on:]

I'm new, so I'll only be nominating for two.

 The Nibbler's Shadow Award for N00b of the Year
1) Nutmeg
2) FHM

The BirthdayClown Memorial Award for Most Annoying PEELer
1) KingZoidy
   

[Reply #10 on:]

Only that category, Nibs ?

[Reply #11 on:]

Unfortunately KingZoidy wasn't around in 2010, so we can't count that vote, lemily, but I'm glad you recognise how annoying that particular user has been.

Nibbs: you can't nominate yourself, silly.

[Reply #12 on:]

6 Noms in so far (well, more or less) keep them coming!

[Reply #13 on:]

Haha. Darn...

You should nominate me for that award instead.

Gopher agrees with you!

Nah, I like you! You were the first person I remember talking to. You made me feel welcome.

[Reply #14 on:]

Nibs: it's nice that you added more, but edited posts can easily be lost in the shuffle. Better just make a new post or at least mention your edit in a new post

[Reply #15 on:]

Does it matter if when we send you the noms, the awards are in a different order than what is displayed at the top of the page (as long as they are clearly titled)?

[Reply #16 on:]

as long as they're clearly title it is fine

[Reply #17 on:]

All I care about is if the email is correctly marked with your username as a subject. makes it so much easier to tell who's nominated.

[Reply #18 on:]

By the Xanfor title, is n00b of the Year supposed to be a "negative" award? Or is "Spammiest" supposed to take that place? I was just wondering for clarifying purposes.

Also, love that mentioning Philip Seymour Hoffman has returned to PEEL.

[Reply #19 on:]

Noob of the year is positive. Spammiest is negative.

That's the way we're choosing to view it.

[Reply #20 on:]

I think it's kind of a tradition to have multiple noms. I'm counting them anyway, as long as they don't appear to make a massive difference (i.e. one person got five noms only from one person - another got four from different people) I don't see the harm, in including them.

[Reply #21 on:]

* The Nibbler's Shadow Award for N00b of the Year
Why, oh why... Can I not nominate myself.

No self-Nominations

[Reply #22 on:]

I've always viewed the mentioning of Nibbler's Shadow as an exasperating yet endearing action on the part of new posters, especially in earlier years. So the way I view it, it's naïve, but positive.

Also, I think I'll skip on nominating for the majority of the awards this time, seeing as how I was absent for most of the year. I'll just stick with my three Best N00b selections made here.

[Reply #23 on:]

Very interesting question... I was sure we had some art in at first.

[Reply #24 on:]

Oh, wait, we do.

OnTopic award covers everything from discussion to fanart/fanfic.

[Reply #25 on:]

Gee, how nice, that way everyone in on-topic can be appreciated with one single category..If these were real awards, you guys would be getting sued. Or, like...there'd be people picketing outside the place where the award ceremony was going to be held with signs like "Recognise our individual talents or we'll cut ya".  Not very creative, I know, but they didn't have much time to prepare.

There's no 'best picture/photo' category?

[Reply #26 on:]

I don't see any on-topic only posters complaining.

[Reply #27 on:]

Indeed, so once they take a more active roll on the board maybe they get acknowledged for it

When I started, I was a purely On-topic poster for a bit...then I asked around about getting more involved, was referenced to Off-topic, and then was converted to the dark side.  

I think it's kind of a tradition to have multiple noms. I'm counting them anyway, as long as they don't appear to make a massive difference (i.e. one person got five noms only from one person - another got four from different people) I don't see the harm, in including them.

I do think it makes a difference.  And while the nominating 1 person multiple times is a tradition, it also seems these "votes" are counted as one.  Countless times on the POTM nominations, someone will vote for a person 3 times...yet when it is all tallied, this still counts as a single nom from an individual.
Think about it, in this set-up, if someone has 2 friends nom them 5 times each for an award, that is 10 nominations.  Someone else could have 4 people nom them for an award a single time, yet they would still be behind by the considerable margin of 10-4 even though they have gotten nomed by more individuals 4-2.  When we get to the voting stage, you can't vote for someone 5 times; so if we are reducing each category down to just the top 3 nom getters, I think this style of noming plays a huge deal in the overall results for who/what is included.

[Reply #28 on:]

FHM: Hence I said I would be considering all of that when I'm tallying up the votes. If you have received a staggering number of votes for "Spammiest PEELer" from one person, but then someone else received the same number of nominations from several different people, I'm obviously going to take that into account.

Don't worry about how things are being tallied. Leave that to me and my spreadsheets.

[Reply #29 on:]

PEELerly Individual Looking Fetching?
No, that's clearly PILF.

It's a play on "MILF," which stands for "Matronly Individual Looking Fetching."

...

Yes it does.

Now I get it!

[Reply #30 on:]

How is that not considered n00bish??

Re:Ontopic category - The PEELies are an off-topic, not on-topic, idea

[Reply #31 on:]

Most of the noms have been done via email. Only me and the other three know how things stand at the minute.

[Reply #32 on:]

Ah. I thought I said I would help. Also, who in the hell gave tnuk Moderator powers?

[Reply #33 on:]

[-maRc-]

[Reply #34 on:]

Also, who in the hell gave tnuk Moderator powers?

Well, obviously 1 of the people who do the PEELies should have mod power over the section. And since tnuk mailed marc about opening this section he also got the Mod powers.

[Reply #35 on:]

Ah. I thought I said I would help. Also, who in the hell gave tnuk Moderator powers?

Yes, but tnuk chose us three.

[Reply #36 on:]

You're around for only half a year, so yes.

Sure, Nutty is only here for a year, but she actually went out to meet several peelers and is more active on peel and on irc.

[Reply #37 on:]

Don't give up hope, NL. After a few years of experience and getting to know your fellow PEELers, you may be able to land yourself a cushy consulting gig, like me.

[Reply #38 on:]

Spam cleaned up. Please try not to be pointless. It makes sorting through this thread to find actual information I must assimilate rather tiring.

[Reply #39 on:]

Awright, nominating will end on Sunday, so get nominations in before then, please.

The more people take the time to nominate, the better the voting will be.
