User blog:SpaceWeather/2013 Wiki Awards Preliminary Voting: Superlatives

Foreword and Rules
Okay so it's been a while... (a month and a half you lazy jerk!) but I've finally tallied the nominations! So I thought we'd just chunk up the preliminary rounds into the subsections the catagories were under. So we'll start off with the Superlatives, seeing as these need to be the freshest!

Okay so here's how the preliminary rounds work. Any category with more than five nominations has to undergo voting as to which nominees will be the final ones for the actual awards. Now I split it up like this, anyone who recieved multiple nominations/more nominations than the others in their catagory automatically has a spot in that category for the awards. Then, however many spots are left for said category are the amount of people/items you have to vote for in that category for the awards. Now the reason I'm making everyone vote for multiple items is to avoid people simply casting a single vote for themselves in every category and trying to push the voting in their favor while I know plenty of other people'd give out multiple votes for others. I'm also not allowing single votes to prevent a category, with say three spots left and however many nominees, from only having one item soak up everyone's single vote. I'll try and keep voting periods to as little as four days, which I think is a fair length of time, but will extend them on request.

An Example of the Voting Procedure
Now I know that my simple worded explanation may get confusing, so here's an example:

There are six nominations for the "Best RP of 2013" category. They are as follows...

Best RP of 2013
Needs two more nominations to move on!
 * Epicvivor: Midway Island (3 Noms) (Already In)
 * Ovivor Allstars (2 Noms) (Already In)
 * Redvivor Panama (2 Noms) (Already In)
 * FiRedVivor aka the Firevivor/Redvivor Crossover
 * Ovivor Vietnam
 * Survivor IRC Island

Now since Ovivor Allstars, Epicvivor: Midway Island, and Redvivor Panama all have more nominations than their counterparts they automatically have spots in the actually awards. Now the other three nominations are fighting over the two spots that remain in that category. So the person voting would put in two votes for two seperate nominees. Like an example would be...

Best RP of 2013: I vote for FiRedVivor and Survivor IRC Island for

and so on and so forth down the list of items until that person's put in their two cents for every category. Now the same holds true for categories that need say four more nominees for the awards, you need to vote for four of those nominees. So on and so forth. Oh and that brings me to another thing...

One Long Voting Comment
Please don't split up your votes into a bunch of seperate comments down below. I'd appreciate it if you could simply give me one long comment with all of your votes in it. That way I don't have to go scolling through and thinking I've counted your vote only to find out you haven't voted on a certain category you wanted to. I also had another little thing I'd like to put forward.

You Don't Have to Vote for Every Category
Now exactly what it says, you don't have to vote for every category. However the ones you do choose to vote in you have to vote for as many nominees as that category needs.

The Already Complete Categories
Now I'd just like to show categories here that are at their five nominee quota.

PS: I had to do a bit of filling out so if someone on here wasn't in the blog I personally nominated them to fill the category.
