2015 Althies Information

[Lye]

Hello Althanas!

It is that time again. Time to award our members or excellence, expertise, and general silliness. Without further ado, I bring you the nomination categories for the 2015 Althanas Althy Awards!

Below is a list of categories. Starting later today, I will open a nomination thread where each player can nominate up to three people for each category. After a week, nominations will be closed. The top three nominees (as in the three players with the most nominations) will be eligible for the award. Actual voting will last another week. I'll make a poll, so all you need to do is select who you think should win. Everyone can vote, but only once! I'll be watching you sneaks with hundreds of accounts to make sure you're not voting more than once. Winners will receive 500 GP and an Althy Bage. You can most certainly win multiple Althies.
