eGO Unsung heroes Awards 2010
Welcome, welcome to the eGO unsung Heroes Awards 2010, this is the main hub for all of the information on the eGO Unsung Heroes Awards. What are Unsung Heroes? I hear you cry, well, to quote a well established phrase site:
A person who makes a substantive yet unrecognized contribution; a person whose bravery is unknown or unacknowledged.
The eGO Unsung Heroes Awards are to identify the unknown people who make a heavy contribution to eGO and to show their example across the Organization. More information about the Awards themselves below.

The Awards
So what are the awards? Well, in reality they are graphics with accompanying text, but to those in eGO they are much more than that. To gain one of these awards you need to have shown an effort to eGO that has helped shape it today and you must have gone beyond your normal duties of your rank. The awards come in several "flavours":

Divisional Awards
Divisional Awards are what they sound like, they are Awards given within a division, these awards will be available for every division in eGO. There are 3 Divisional Awards for each division, meaning 3 people from each division will get an Award. These Awards are not gold, silver and bronze, each person who gets a Divisional Award will be equal as all the people who get the award and as such are not placed in a ranking which may make some feel inferior to others. Only one Divisional Award can be given to an Advisor or a Division Leader, the other two must go to members of the rank e, eG or eGO. Ranks of e, eG and eGO can take all 3 awards, leaving no leadership member with an award.

Council Awards
The Council Awards are similar, but are not split on division, the council Awards will be decided by judges, one from each division and they may not vote for the council member that runs their division. Judges will be requested at a later date but not at this moment in time. There are to be 3 Council awards and they can be given to the ranks of Technical Council, Divisional Council and Community Manager. If you would like to be a judge for the council awards, please do not PM me until a later date.

How the Awards are decided.
For the Divisional Awards nominations will be taken by me via PM on this website or by another member that I may choose to handle another division. You may not nominate yourself. The nominations which have sufficient descriptions as to why the member has been nominated will be placed forward onto a poll, which if the amount of nominations which follow these rules is 10 or less then 10 then the poll will be done on a thread. If it is greater than 10 then the poll will have to be done on an external source. These rules are subject to change.
The Council awards will enter all of the Council members and information on what the council members have done may be PM'd to me explaining why they deserve an award. The Judges will look over this information and then decide which 3 members deserve an award based on a vote. The Judges are not allowed to vote for the council member which runs their division in order to mix things up a bit. The person who gets the most, 2nd most and 3rd most votes will receive an award which will be announced on the same day as the Divisional Awards.

Small Print:
And that is the Awards that can be gained through the eGO Unsung Heroes Awards, nominations will open on the 1st of December 2010 for the Divisional Awards and a thread for the Divisional Awards will be posted in each division. Winners will be announced around christmas time, All nominations should be provided with a reason why to put in the thread so that people can understand what they are voting for, you may not nominate or vote for yourself. These awards do not grant you a medal or achievement on the website. The eGO Unsung Heroes Awards 2010 is unofficial and not affiliated with eGO leadership in any way.

I nominate the Sexy young box, "PloxBox" He's recruited many people, made signatures (and a website for one member) all for free of charge. He's donated just about 1 of every weapon to anyone thats new to TF2 or just plain needs it. He's a box. He also looks out for people who try to take advantage of these people, trading (for example) 1 reg hat for earbuds. He nicely warns the victim (before the trade goes down) of the real value of their items, preventing them from being taken advantage of.

Oh and did i mention HE'S A BOX!?
 
If you sing for the unsung heroes, are they still unsung heroes?

No there Sung heroes and then Eurocracy has to change the name of the thread.

And if you get one of the awards is it on the forums?
 
Well this seems quite interesting and I'll be sure to send in a recommendation for the player I think deserves it.
 
I like it I like it.

It'd need a lot more awards though. Divisional stuff. (Say, "Carebear of the year" for EVE [I could get that one easily]).
 
Well the whole awards system can be changed. But right now I'll keep it as it is and take nominations on the 1st December with a thread in each divison.
Dark, you don't get one on the forums, I'd have to go and talk to leadership for that and I think they wouldn't agree with it, so it's kinda unofficial, you'll get a graphic that I'll happily put in your sig though.
 
I applaud the energy you put into this and your commitment to eGO, but keep in mind that this is not an OFFICIAL EdgeGamers award. We have a system for that. We can take suggestions for additional awards.
 
I don't understand who will be the judges though... is this like a concept?

What are the awards going to look like? Is it like a drawing of a trophy on your page? :D

Anyway, Ill Legend should definitely be a nominee if you're doing this. Sole Division Leader of CS:S for a very long time. He goes absolutely beserk right after promotions, setting everything up by manning the mouse with one hand and holding his mountain dew bottle in the other. We all know what he does, but still isn't recognised enough I guess. Not to mention the Leadership team that he has to put up with :P
