On this point we already have too many categories,
making even more will make this ridiculous.
Imo - Make a few positive awards (Not to many) and discard all negative ones
Imo - Make a few positive awards (Not to many) and discard all negative ones
gotta have a few
just make sure the ones aren't insulting
like biggest failure clan, that sounds a little harsh lol
generally the idea is good...
I see tendencies for a "hall of fame" and a "hall of shame".
Im not sure if a "hall of shame" would make sense... some ppl might like the idea of pointing out the shame. while the "idiots" themselves will simply be happy to be highlighted.
spamming, clanhopping, etc. shouldnt be rewarded with an award... even if it is an award of shame.
Anyways there shouldnt be too many categories. Imo maybe 1 or 2 categories for whole community, 4-5 categories for plus and e5... I would leave rail only out for this year... it is closely to plus and just too new.
categories like best player, clan, clan-leader, etc. seem very vague to me.
I like the rewards for e+/community support tho, seeing all the new guys who helped e+ to get back to activity. Awards should be for things you help everyone with... an improved player/clan does it for him/themselves and automatically get rewards in the arena.
cmon... loss of shape? failure clan? ppl suggesting this should get one of the shame awards

A tidy way to reinforce one's feeling of superiority. Although, obviously, if you have the "best", you must have the "worst". Highlights go both ways, it's just a matter of making it tasteful and not overtly offending, since this is a community wide project.
This is a good idea, if executed right. As some other people said, don't flood this with redundant categories, just pick the most prominent ones and stick with those.
I think Matt bulls-eyed the best jury nominees, maybe i'd add Mircwar, Secret, Mow, Skinnis, Achmed and Matt himself to the list, those seem to be the most level-headed people around, and least likely to follow some personal bias (there are more people but i don't really see them around lately).
Well i have to disagree . Just because you highlight the best does not mean you should highlight the worst. Imo doing all this' hall of shame' and the 'worst' player at something is stupid. I tend to not read half the flame on these forums. last thing i wanna do is hear of people getting awards for it , I still think sticking with the good side of q3 should be a better idea. Also as much as alot of people dont seem to give a fuck from what i can tell on the forums. and do like to see people humilated ect. Maybe take a minute to think about how the person recieving the award might feel. but then again its all for 'fun' isnt it as long as your happy at the end of it
It's not an award, it's a slap on the wrist. But yeah, maybe the really bad people don't need the additional attention. *shrug*

This is one great idea Hazo,if handled right of course. I would have to agree with Laktos in this matter,considering the fact that majority of people here don't understand the meaning of 'irony' in the first place. Nominating people for all sorts of more or less negative awards or whatnot will sure as hell beat up a shitstorm. Although,an award for 'Forum troll of 2009' would work imho,and perhaps an award for funniest post(lot of work to find it but wth ).
I would gladly take part in a 'jury' or w/e you want to call it. Thx for the trust Mad
My 2 cents
//skinnis
I think one of jury should be Firefox, she almost all the time on servers. She saw all of us in our good or bad shape. For me, most objective person for this.
