eGO Unsung Heroes Awards

[Spitfire'd]

This is an organization with thousands of members. We have lots of people who do an untold amount of work to keep our servers clean and our community excellent.

So I hereby declare every member of the community should get this (unofficial) award. It is because of everyone that we are what we are, after all.

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?

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

All the council members are already nominated and judges will be selected next, one from each division for the first round, and if all 3 are not chosen then a next round of judges with one from each judges will take their place.

Unfortunately not every member can receive this reward, for there are some who have worked so hard for eGO that they need to receive this, and there are some who are just there. Awards are based on your work towards eGO, so that is how these will work and they are based on what the community feels of their grand efforts.

If you sing for the unsung heroes, are they still unsung heroes?

This. I think this is a massive hole in the logic of this thread.

Also, what if the judges are salty because they were picked as a judge and not nominated?

How are the judges picked without bias?

How do the judges pick the 3 winners without bias?

Is more emphasis placed on being unsung or being a hero?

What if a nominee is equal parts unsung and hero?

Judges are not picked, they are requested, one from each division.
The first 7 from each division to PM me will be judges. Judges can also be nominated, but judges only handle the COUNCIL awards, not the divisional awards if you have read.
Judges cannot vote for the council member that controls their division, so therefore bias will be avoided.
The emphasis is to identify members who have given a lot to the community and are not recognised as such.
That's a random question.
Now then, I hope we can all get along without any complex questions, this is a relatively simple competition.

"Don't question my methods, just go with it." ...are you secretly Leadership? :O

Here's my opinion on the whole thing, and I think a lot of people share the same opinion.

I like the concept of the award, and in my opinion it sounds like a less formal version on the 'Divisional Member Of The Year Award' or a all rank 'Spirit of eGO Award'. But everything behind it is extremely complicated and I don't think an average member would understand the criteria for all the voting, judges, ect.

Like I said though I really do like the idea of having the award around but I think the circumstances should be simpler. My idea being that that each leadership member with the ranks of Divisional Council, Technical Council, and Community Manager chose ONE player to get the award, making it all much more easy to understand.

In other words the big guns chose their favorite.

What do you guys think?

Favourtism.

Honestly, I think the Non-Leadership member of the year award for each division works and we're working on a leadership member of the year award as well. I don't know how this award would fit.

*totally isn't brown nosing*

lol j/k

Alright let's keep this simple guys, it's unofficial and we'll see how it goes.

 

[bleblablueble]

I nominate myself for this "Unofficial" Award

 

[Toytles]

uh mmk

 

[gingertonic]

I quite honestly do not understand this award. If these "heroes" are unsung, then how do we know about them? The council awards to not seem to make sense, especially the process to vote for them. I mean, they are on council, how can they possibly be unsung? I think this is trying too much to be a "Divisional Member of the Year" copy to make any sense/be feasible.

Completely, like I have said I really like the concept of the award. But there are awards just like it. I also want to note the work eurocracy put into the award and I appreciate that but I just dont think it's fitting for eGO seeing that there are already awards just like it. Again I appreciate the work you put into it eurocracy and I would really like to see more interesting things coming from you (Which I don't doubt will happen).

So... You want me to cancel this?

Like you said it's unofficial therefor it's completely up to you. I just think it's a bit complicated for most people to take part.

 

[eurocracy]

Alright I'll close this if it's too confusing, I don't want to drag along something people won't use, so alright. Well, this contest is closed, can a mod please lock the thread?
