2011 Dronies [POLL]

[aids]

I've made four more forms. I don't want you to sign up to vote if you're nominated or if you submitted your nominations already. Everyone will be able to vote once I get these four forms completed. The forms are below.

[*]Maps :: https://dronies.webform.com/form/1661
[*]Members :: https://dronies.webform.com/form/1663
[*]Mappacks :: https://dronies.webform.com/form/1664
[*]Runs :: https://dronies.webform.com/form/1666

FYI: JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOMINATED DOESN'T MEAN YOU'RE IN THE TOP FIVE. BUT CONGRATULATIONS ANYWAY. :3

What this is is my trying to fairly narrow down the nominations. PM me to get your validation code. (gloomp, don't vote. You're my tiebreaker. <3)

ONLY VOTE FOR THREE NOMINATIONS IN EACH CATEGORY. I'M NOT ABLE TO LIMIT THE VOTES TO THREE PER CATEGORY, AND IF YOU CHECK MORE THAN THREE I'LL HAVE TO IGNORE YOUR VOTES. :(

Who would care if I handpicked the finalists for The Dronies? (gloomp, I need your help for this.)

[aids]

I take this lack of anyone giving a shit as a sign that you guys have given up on the Dronies.

[乳头的早餐谷物]

To be fair, there are more than a hundred maps there. That is really a shitload of work to expect many people to do. Also you've said not to sign up to vote if you're nominated or if you have nominated already so I don't really understand what this? Also I'm boycotting the Dronies because I'm not on the best member list even though a bunch of guys who haven't even been in the community for the past year are so fuck you guys.

I thought I made this clear. These maps etc. listed are only about half of what I received. I only need like four or five dedicated people to fill it out, but I didn't wanna be biased and pick them myself.

[otters~1]

I don't even know who taursabwhatever is so I'm fairly sure he's not the most influential member of the year. And Sunset is not a new mapper. That's all.

EDIT: oh, I'm not on that list either, oughts. We can boycott together.

[zoasBE]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!

EddyMataGallos is not nominated to Best Player and lsudny and ENT are nominated for this category?
1211, Sunset and me we are nominated to New Mappers category?
flag and Aidiera are not nominated as Community Members category?

Is this a joke?

[999_Springs]

I don't even know who taursabwhatever is so I'm fairly sure he's not the most influential member of the year.

It's a spambot. I nominated it to symbolise the fact that 2011 was basically the year that spambots ruled metanet. They joined in large swathes and I'd guess that they were responsible for the majority of posts across the board. Perhaps the simultaneity of their rise with a steep drop in the activity of current members, making the nomination in this category more difficult, is not a coincidence.

The previous paragraph is a complete joke, except for the first six words. I did it for no reason at all.

zoasBE: Nice formatting. And ^.>.v<^ is trying to cut down on a long list of nominations; this isn't the finalised list. Perhaps he's throwing out the "more obvious" choices to make a decision on the borderline ones. And the worst joke nomination is Paradox-Dragon for community member of 2011.

edit: Nobody nominated any runs or anything else of mine. I hate you all. Joining the boycott.

edit 2: Birthday spambots.

[29403]

Not nominated, no vote. ;_;

[Paradox]

I know right, (i was almost as bad as kuri in 2011 from October 7th to Sometime in December, that's about half of the half year i was in the community almost), 2012 was when i did all my good stuff

I love how my nick looks spelled out.

Anything here is something that only got one vote.

I didn't throw anything out because I don't want to be biased to my own opinion.

:(

I should start deleting spambots again, yes?

[999_Springs]

Ok, now that makes a lot more sense. I was wondering where some of my nominations had gone to. (And why I didn't have any.)

You must really, really hate spambots. Possibly, as long as you don't murder somebody again. And we all know how good you are at murder.

Scum of the net, I says. The only reason I'm not is because I'm wanted for murder. :(

i'm not really interested on the dronies, but i'm still amazed by how you guys won't do it 'cause you don't have a site. do it manually or something.
just don't go all

"ortsz make us a site mkay"
ortsz doesn't really feel like it, since it's kind of a lot of work
"ortsz you suck come on man it's all your fault"
and then ortsz dies from depression - too much pressure, too much pressure


just do the 2012 dronies manually and pretend it's '11

Hey buttholefuy, I put a lot of work into making the nomination forms. A lot. I ask you guys for something small, and three people deliver. I'm tired of doing all this work with no payoff. If you guys paid me back somehow, I'll get them finished. But y'all are waiting for me, and I just want to be done with this.

Notice how drunkfuy didn't specifically target you. Also, don't insult drunkfuy - he gets depressed easily. He is no butthole*!

But yeah, summary of why the Dronies ain't workin' - not enough peepl interested on the results. I am one of those obviously, and I say this with all the respect in the world.


*Aidiera calls drunkfuy sexy a lot of times. If drunkfuy is a butthole, I guess Aidiera likes hairy anal? Cause I have a majestic beard.

I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. I'm sorry. I still love you, despite you hairy butt.

>mfw implying i was talking about my own butthole. I was just talking about the characteristics a possible butthole would have if it somehow impossibly inherited drunkfuy's characteristics.

Wait what, what the fuck has this got to do with me making a site? The nominations were never finalised.

~~~

I'm pretty sure no-one except Aidiera is actually clear on what the problem is and what needs to be done.

Nobody will help me choose. I will do it myself but only if everybody's okay with that.

[otters~1]

You are all really stupid. The problem is that only like 20 nominations came in. Naturally, everyone nominated different maps. There's no "choosing." Let's go home.

[Pheidippides]

What if the reviewers (or some other specially chosen panel) came together and chose the winners, similar to the way sports writers choose an MVP? We could call the awards something other than the Dronies if the idea of changing the format rubs people the wrong way. What's the difference between democracy and oligarchy when the community's this small?

Use the nominations people have submitted and let the panel pick from those. That way there's less hassle of voting and whatnot. Next year, we just ask people to nominate and do it again.

Or vice versa: have an expert panel choose the nominations and let the plebs other valued community members vote.

The problem with this is that sports writers aren't players. We don't have an elite group of players and members who people respect. At least, not anymore.
