Well, the time has come. The nomination phase is over and time has come to have the final ballots passed. And I'm proud to announce that this year's Althies are going to have a special method of voting.
Because I've noticed that people seem to selectively vote in certain categories, and to add to excitement and tension (although we'll all be biting our nails on Oscar night), all votes will be PMed to me (http://www.althanas.com/world/private.php?do=newpm&u=2652) using a simple form seen below:
Mr/Mrs Althanas -
Most Prospective New Member -
Biggest Prick -
Most Helpful Mod or Admin -
Best Hero -
Best Villain -
Best Shade of Gray -
Real-Life Hangout -
Best Quest -
Best Thread -
Just copy and paste that into a PM, and fill in the name of the nominee you would like to vote for. I'd very much prefer it that no one abstained, but I can understand if you simply must. If that is the case, just put a large "Abstain" near the name.
And now, for what you've all been waiting for. The nominees are:
Mr/Mrs Althanas - (The only category with four)
Flames of Hyperion
Advent Wings
Dissinger
Christoph
Most Prospective New Member -
Inkfingers
Lord Saladin
Biggest Prick -
Godhand
Slayer of the Rot
Raelyse
Most Helpful Mod or Admin -
Christoph
Taskmienster
Serilliant
Best Hero -
Flames of Hyperion
Ranger
Letho
Best Villain -
Damion Shargath
Slayer of the Rot
Best Shade of Gray -
Godhand
Dissinger
Real-Life Hangout -
Mathias
Taskmienster
Letho
Best Quest -
Akashima Saga: Luxuria
Godhand's Necrosition Hit Series
Best Battle -
Samutth a Ranajira - Nyadir vs. Acyutani (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=16766)
Teric vs Godhand: Champions (http://www.althanas.com/world/showthread.php?t=14490)
Pick up the sword and fight the horde!

Now, you may notice some categories missing. Unfortunately, these received relatively little attention, or rather, little diverse attention. Thus, I must call a winner in these, for they all say just one person receive multiple nominations, with other people only receiving one. It wouldn't be fair to anyone if I moved these on to the next stage, because there were over three nominations half the time, and that would lead to a coin toss, instead of the will of the people.
These winners will be announced early, but will be posted again when the final votes are in.
Best ToL Profile - Shadowed
Ugliest Character - Garwocket
Cutest Character - Ratatosk
Most Attractive Character - Requiem for Insanity
Best OOC Poster - Caden Law
So please, send in your votes for the rest of the categories. See you on the 22nd!
***EDIT***
I'll edit in links to all threads and profiles soon, I just need a bit more time for that.
