User blog:Fedora Kid/Total Drama Wiki's Hall of Fame - Total Drama Island

Welcome back, one and all, to the new, the improved, the revamped Total Drama Wiki’s Hall of Fame!

That’s right! After the first version…erm…didn’t go so well, we’ve made numerous reforms to ensure a safe, clean, legit, and untampered nominating and voting process to guarantee that this will be a wonderful tribute to our favorite competitors in Total Drama!

Note: This is being done here on the FF Wiki due to some new rules that were passed on the Main Wiki, limiting the amount of voting competitions being held there.

As a basic recap for those who never caught the original, here’s how it will work.

From now, Sunday, December 8, 2013, until Wednesday, December, 11, users with 25 MainSpace edits or more will be allowed to nominate any character they choose. This character will be added to a poll where people with 50 MainSpace edits or more will then subsequently vote. The blog will briefly be closed to arrange the voting period. Then, from January 5 to Wednesday, January 8, 2014, on which characters they want to see inducted into the TD Wiki Hall of Fame for that respective season. The person who comes in first in the poll will also be declared “Player of the Season.”

IMPORTANT: KEEP IN MIND. This process is acknowledging the contestants as COMPETITORS, not CHARACTERS. We are NOT talking about who was the most developed, most focused, most dramatic person. We are talking about who played the game the best. Who made the best strategic moves, did well in challenges, made alliances, etc., etc. When nominating and voting for characters, choose who you think played the best game. This is acknowledging the main aspect of Total Drama: The competition. The game. The way it is played.

This is the first blog in the series, and thus, will focus on the first season: Total Drama Island. Thus, you can nominate/vote for any of the original 22. No Alejandro, no Sierra, no Blaineley, no TDR cast, and no TDPI cast. Period.

RULES: IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ

Rule #1: You must have 25 MainSpace edits or more in order to nominate a character. Go here to check your edit count.

Rule #2: You must have 50 MainSpace edits or more in order to vote for a character in the poll.

Rule #3: You can only nominate/vote for contestants who competed in Total Drama Island.

Rule #4: It is strongly recommended that, when nominating a character, you explain why you think they are worthy of being in the Hall of Fame. You must include an explanation of how they were a good player, and maybe cite some examples, if you want. BUT if you merely state, “he was a good player, lol,” or “she was so developed and smart and friendly and sweet, lol,” then your nomination will be DISREGARDED. Subsequently, you may also make your arguments in your vote for the character you choose.

Rule #5: You can nominate one character AND ONE CHARACTER ONLY, and you can vote for one character AND ONE CHARACTER ONLY.

Rule #6: NO TROLLING. If ANY trolling is detected in this blog, you will face severe punishment, including warnings and a possible blocking of your participation in this season’s blog and (possibly) future seasons’ blogs.

Rule #7: Check other comments first to see if someone already nominated the character of your choice. That way, instead of making a repeat nomination, you can instead nominate someone else.

Rule #8: KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN NOMINATING. There are NO multi-season inductees allowed in the TDA and TDWT blogs. So basically, if Duncan gets inducted for TDI, he can NOT be nominated again for TDA. If Courtney gets inducted for TDA, then she can’t be nominated for TDWT, etc., etc. Keep this in mind so that we can keep the Hall of Fame diverse and open, and so that characters will be inducted based on the seasons where they truly shined the most as competitors. NOTE: This rule WILL be forgotten in the TDAS blog, for obvious reasons.

The nominating process is OPEN.

Characters that have been nominated will be placed here, alongside the name of the person who first nominated them.

To set an example, and to make the first nomination, I will describe who I think should be the Hall of Famers for Total Drama Island, and who I think should be Player of the Season (as you are also encouraged to list who you think should be inducted, in addition to the Player of the Season)

I think the Hall of Fame inductees for Total Drama Island should be Gwen, Heather, and LeShawna. And I nominate the most obvious candidate for Player of the Season…Heather. Let’s face it. She played the best game by far. She created an alliance early on, she manipulated people from other teams, orchestrated numerous clever eliminations (from Eva to Justin), manipulated peoples’ romantic feelings (Gwen and Trent), and also did well in numerous challenges (such as That’s Off the Chain).
