~Welcome to the 2016/17 ZD-I Mafia Awards~
Hello everybody, and welcome to the 2016/17 Mafia Awards! If you are wondering what these might be, the Mafia Awards are designed to recognize members of the forums who have made substantial contributions to our sub forum in some way or another. I believe, with such a tight-knit community, that it is very important for great players to receive the recognition that they deserve.
These Mafia Awards were spawned from an idea that came into fruition way back in 2013, but nothing has ever really happened with them. I intend to change that. I want to see these awards finally get taken seriously and our great players get awarded for their efforts here. There were some amazing games here over the past year, and there have been many new players that have begun calling this sub forum their home, so there is lots of potential for nominations!
This thread is a nomination thread. There is a list of categories that people may be nominated for, all as seen below. After the nominations close, there will be a final voting round, in which the three most nominated players in each category will be voted upon by the mafia community to determine who will win each award. After that, the winners will be announced in a new thread. Winners will receive a small banner to include in their signature if they like, as well as the satisfaction of winning.
As with any award nominations, there are some rules that must be followed.
- Vote in-thread only
- Nominees, and nominators, must have participated in at least one of the listed games in order to be eligible for voting
- You may nominate up to two players for each category. If more than two people are nominated by a single person for any category, only the first two nominations will be counted
- You may nominate yourself for no more than one category
- You may edit your votes between the time of making your post and the time of this thread being locked
- Nominations will close on Sunday, July 30, at 6PM PDT
- If you would like to campaign for yourself to receive nominations, you may do so in the separate Campaigning thread, which has its own set of rules
