J-Max Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 As a few of you may know, one of my Goals on YCM would be to run the Awards that used to run every 3 Months then increased to 6 Months to keep things fresh. Feburary marks the Month when the Awards are due to be run again and I would like your thoughts on it. No, this isn't a "I want to run the Awards thing" (Well I do but you get the idea lol) It's a General discussion regarding Timeframes. Feel free to talk about anything else to do with the Awards too. Wit the YMB now happening, is 6 Months too soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simping For Hina Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 This forum changes a lot in just 6 months, I have only been here more than a year and I realized so much change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If it was my choice i'd say do it yearly. 6 months is a good second choice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Zero Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 If we keep it evenly spaced between the YMB and the Awards, then 3 months between each event sounds right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death Metal Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I dunno about 3 months, just seems too short. IMO, it doesn't give (new and old) members enough time to prove their 'worth' enough to the point that they could beat the usual winners of these award-type competitions. It's not suppose to be a popularity contest, it's suppose to be about dedication to the forum. If not a yearly event, then 6 months is perfect but I strongly feel that 3 months is too short of a span for the YCMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I meant that there would be 3 months in between the Awards and the YMB, if done properly. Both are different events and are done bi-yearly, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Nu-13 Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Do we seriously need them that often? 3 month span between each event is NOT enough for new or aspiring members to get the recognition, That would lead to same old, boring, predictable winners.

J-Max Posted February 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 The YCM Awards represent your best Member for said section. As LZ said, the YMB is a straight up popularity contest. I have actually thought of a couple of Awards to add this year if I am nominated to Host. Your YCM Rival: Quite simply the person who you class as your Rival, wether it be in Card Making, Graphic Design and even Debates! Who encourages you to be your best and up your Determination? Person of Many Faces: Who do you believe changes their name or Profile or Signature a lot? What member do you think can't decide who they truly are.

CDDRodrigo Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Those sound interesting J-Max. To me the awards should begin now, we're kinda late. If the organization needs help, I would gladly be of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with that, I suggest changing the Friendship Award. It was previously dedicated to whichever friend you wanted to commemorate your friendship with, but now I think it should be made to A friendship. For example, if I were to vote for the new Friendship Award, I'd vote for something like the friendship between Atman and Roxas rather than my friendship with DL. Though that might spawn too many 1 votes too, I dunno. I'd say if it does turn out that way in these Awards, then take it out completely. I'd say every 6 months.

CinnamonStar Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think there should be some humorous Awards, like best fanservice or inofficial YCM couple, things like that. The loveyst friendship between people sounds fine too.;3 But person of many faces sounds a bit rude and could spark unnecessary arguments. I know who I'd nominate here, but ehehe.;3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
