Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

I like it because it is all about who wants to [radio edit] the most.

Can you go through the rules again one more time, like how old can a thread be to be nominated, etc?

Putting in a last-minute request for "Post of the Year" as an award.

We did once have Best Post...

If we do, we should maybe make a thread where people can log suggestions for nominations throughout the year, because it's really tough to remember individual posts from the earlier part of twelve months.

I think the only one with an extra rule would be the Roleplay topics stipulating that they have to be active in 2015.
That could be another condition to add to the creative fields as well, "if the person is active in 2015." Buuut I'm leery of going overboard with that.

Apart from that, I'll post some of the more general rules during the nominations, but really it'll only be that people must receive say... three nominations to pass nomination stage (I'll look at the overall numbers and see how it looks), and that I reserve the right to disqualify nominations that don't apply (someone nominated for best writer who's never done any writing, for example, or joke nominations like Boyd/Boyd's Right Hand for awards that require two people).

Post of the Year sounds like a good idea, if you all can put together sufficient nominations! 8)

I know we were talking about vote/nomination spread, but I suggest instead of having "must have more than X nominations to be on the ballot" it should be "top X nominations in the category make the ballot".

EDIT: and allow people to nominate multiple things in a category (like, up to three)

Hmmm, you're right, top three-five in each category works best.
Multiple nominations is a good idea, but it sounds like it would be a bit of a pain to implement. Do you think, if nominations were three for each one, as many people would nominate if it meant filling out the whole thing? I know voting was a bit scarce last year, and I'm wondering if the extra work would weaken participation.
Or if we can just say they can nominate up to three, and leave it up to them whether they want to or not.

Or a max two nominations for each one could potentially help.

Nominate up to three. People can fill in anywhere between 0 and 3. I've not been involved in the Awards process except from the minor commentary we get in the Staff Chat so I don't have any experience with what the nominations/voting is like (though I imagine, like you said, there's less participation than is desirable), but 3 nominations would let people who are enthusiastic about the thing a chance to show off a range of ideas without having to pick a favourite at this stage (which is really what voting is for), plus people can get in their joke nominations as well as their serious nominations if they want.

Oh right, despite being bumped *just* before the board awards, can we disqualify "computer boom" from being nominated for best topic again? Like, we get it, it's a great topic, but it's in the past.
