Heya guys,

Just FYI, I've brought on board Dumptruck and Ionous to help with the administration of the awards.

We've looked at the suggestions and comments and have made some changes, some of which will be announced soon.

We look to hold the awards in March this year, then probably in January each year thereafter. By that time we should have the system and process much more refined.

I'm looking foward to this years awards, they should be good :)

Cheers,

Snaut 

 

So both events (yours and OTP's) are called "accolades" now? I thought OTP was asked not to use the word "award" to avoid confusion... 

 

One of them can be "honors" 

Preferably not the one that relies on having an A in the name... 

yeah, that was shambs being shambs 

 

Guys, I need to apologise for dragging my feet on this one. I've done a bunch of work on the back-end of the site, have collated the list of maps to get judged and have engaged with most of the judges who will be shortlisting the maps.

Yesterday I posted an update to the site with the changes for this years awards, these have been primarily due to the feedback from last years awards, so thank you to everybody who gave feedback.

Over the next week or two I'll be briefing the judges and ramping up the social media before announcing the public vote.

Thanks everybody for your patience.

pentagram of perfection is a pretty great name. 

 

Maybe let somebody more motivated do the awards if getting them in a timely manner is out of the option. 

There are plenty of people working on this right now and have been for some time. There are many more categories and maps this year. So that's great new for the entire community. 

To anybody concerned.

While I could list the reasons why we're running behind this year, ultimately the buck stops with me. I realise that not being on a tight schedule only hurts the community, I did want to be further ahead than we currently are... but we aren't... and it sucks. If this troubles you, I apologise.

With regards to me stepping aside, I have every intention of doing so once the awards have a good formula that works for our community and are stable. We're still experimenting with the formula, and like last year I'll post a debrief thread on func so I can gauge people's opinions.

This years awards have taken on board some of the criticisms from last years debrief thread, and you should see some differences in the final product.

OTP, you're clearly passionate about the awards, if you're keen on helping out, shoot me a message and I can assign you some work that could help us out.

Regards,
Snaut.
