Popular Post Velyni Vas Posted January 12 Popular Post Share Posted January 12 (edited) Hey all! Come one, come all, the time has come in orbis for the annual PnW Academy Awards! For the uninitiated, the PnW awards are a community event, hosted and run by members of the community to have a memory of the previous year. This tradition has been running since 2016 in different forms, so I am happy to announce to you the 2023 awards! Again, this year we have had many new players join the game that might not be sure of how this process works, so below is a short explanation of how this process works. We highly recommend everyone reads this, to understand the full process: Spoiler The PnW Academy Awards work by combining traditional player voting with alliance representative voting to equalize the voting field between alliances of all sizes. There are three rounds to this process: Round 1: Nominations Nominations this year will begin on Friday, January 12 and will last until Thursday, January 18. All players, as well as alliance representatives, will be invited to participate in the nominations. Alliance representatives are not allowed to nominate their own alliance. Alex/Sheepy may not be nominated for alliance/player categories. The Academy Awards reserves the right to refuse incorrect (to the category) nominations (e.g. a player that did NOT start playing in 2023 being nominated for “Best New Player 2023” will be dismissed.) Round 2: Shortlisting The shortlisting process will take place with the alliance representatives and will start on Sunday, January 21 and will last until Wednesday, January 24. The goal of this round is to shortlist each category to 10 candidates. Alliance representatives will be allowed 3 votes per category. Alliance representatives are not allowed to vote for their own alliance. Round 3: Final Voting The final voting will take place from Sunday, January 28 and will last until Thursday, February 1 with both the players and the alliance representatives. This will be using the shortlist of 10 nominees for each category. Alliance representatives will be allowed 1 vote per category and are, once again, not allowed to vote for their own alliance. There are separate awards for the alliance representative vote, and the players vote.. All results from the entire process will be shared publicly for transparency. The Awards Ceremony The Awards Ceremony is estimated to take place on Sunday, January 29th and the winners will be posted on the OWF shortly thereafter. More details regarding the ceremony will be shared later on within the awards process with a confirmed date and hosts. Alliance Voting Component Rules Spoiler The top 60 alliances with the highest scores that are not an offshore, training alliance, or a sister alliance will qualify for a vote. If a war is still occurring when qualifying alliances are selected, the top 60 qualifying alliances from both before the war and during it will be included for the sake of fairness, which means more than 60 alliances may initially qualify to vote. Alliances outside of the top 60 highest scores and want to participate should DM a member of the organizing committee on discord for more information. Alliances cannot nominate nor vote for themselves. Alliance representatives do not have to be the leader of an alliance but they do have to belong to the alliance they represent. They may be any member of the alliance that the alliance deems an adequate representative. This member may also not be on the Organising Committee for the Academy Awards. Alliance representatives are encouraged to consult with the remainder of their alliance's gov (and/or membership) when nominating and/or voting. Alliance representatives will receive their own channel on the Awards discord, in which a passcode will be shared. This passcode serves as a safeguard against the document leaking and will need to be included on their ballot in order for their nominations/votes to count.

namukara Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Why is there no scope for new player-submitted categories? I feel (as part of) the current academy could handle them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
