    Roll out the red carpet, it's back and we will be holding our annual XoO Awards once again and we welcome everyone to participate!

    The 2011 Annual XoO Awards
    Every year we at XoO participate in a special event that every member in XoO can participate and receive special ribbons for various categories of excellence that will be voted on by you and the rest of the community.

    The Dates
    Submission Date: December 12th - 19th
    Calculations: December 20th- 31st
    Results: January 1st

    How It Works
    The awards system is simple enough. There will be several categories to which people will be allowed to vote for a member of their choice. These categories can either be specific or global.

    A specific category is one that is limited to a particular division that only people who have played in that division for 3+ months can receive and only those who have played in that division for 3+ months can submit members for review.

    Global categories are for guild-wide awards that allow anyone who has been a XoO member for 3+ months to submit another member who has been with the guild for 3+ months for the award.

    Submissions are simple as well. Simply list the members name you wish to be considered for the ribbon.

    Some categories will allow for multiple submissions where you may submit more than one member for consideration. You may not submit more members for consideration than the category will allow or all of your submissions will be negated. So if the category asks for 3 people, you may only list up to 3 people for consideration. This means you are allowed to only consider 1 or 2 people and will not be forced to make more selections than you are comfortable with. Naturally you may abstain from a category altogether and not submit anyone for consideration for any particular category.

    The categories will be announced on the 1st and you will be allowed to begin submission on that day. In order to submit you will need to reply to the thread that is posted on that day in the News/Announcements section.

    After submissions are sent and the winners selected the ribbons will automatically be handed out so there is no need to apply for any of the ribbons.

    Restrictions
    Only people who have registered join dates before 2012 and have played with the guild for 3+ months will be allowed to participate in both submission and as candidates for the awards. For division-specific awards you may only submit members for consideration if you have spent 3+ months in that division. This will be confirmed by either leadership for that division or the division tour of duty ribbon for that specific game. The person you are submitting must also have played that division-specific game for 3+ months as well.

    You cannot nominate yourself.

    Anyone who has had a warning in the past 4 months will also not be allowed for consideration and their votes will be negated.

    Examples
    Every category will have a main header for either global selections in which submissions are made for non-division specific awards or division specific awards where only members of that division may vote.

    Global
    Most contributive member of 2011 (list up to 4)

    Your response:
    To respond simply copy/paste the question then reply as such...

    Global
    Most contributive member of 2011 (list up to 4)
    - membername, membername, membername, membername

    Everyone is a winner!
    I would like to say that EVERYONE who participates, that is, EVERYONE who submits other members for consideration for an award will be given a 2011 XoO Awards ribbon just for participating. This is limited to only members of 2011 and that have been with XoO for 3+ months.

    Ideas
    We welcome any ideas for award be it global or specific and appreciate any feedback you may have.

    For further information on the process, dates, times, etc feel free to reply to this thread and I will clarify what I can.

    --------------------

    Clarification
    The award categories will be announced on the 12th and you will have a full week to review the categories and nominate people for an award.

    My suggestion, the Gunther award. Awarded to the person that most exemplifies what it is to be Gunther. :D

    The award nominations will begin on the submission date or the 12th to be more precise. A new thread will be posted with the categories.

    For now just think of award ideas or comment on how attractive I am IRL.
