Juuuuuust kidding I know how much you all love the Codies!  Send me your nominations via PM, please.  Nominations close on 14 May around 6:00 PM NST.   I have some rules which you shall abide lest your nominations be in vain:

• Copy the below list and send it to me via PM with your nominations for each category.
• You may only nominate the same person for up to three different categories.
• You may only nominate one person per category except the Best Codex Couple category.
• You may skip as many categories as you want.
• Yes, I eliminated about half the categories.
• If you have time, please include comments on your choices when you send them to me.
• I reserve the right to completely disregard your nomination PM if I think it's bullshit.
• If you PM me about this competition more than once, please use the same PM to do so.  My inbox is a scary place and you don't want to get lost in there.
• The Next Mod and Next Ban categories are in fact predictive of the future.  Choose wisely.
• The Wooden Spoon award is for the person you feel most sorry for.
• The Golden Carrot is for someone who deserves a shiny golden trophy of a carrot.
• There will be awards - will post them when they are finished!
• Thank you @redlion and @Liesa for your help!
• I really want to eliminate the whole poll process and just use your PMs as your votes.  Please discuss in this thread.

You removed best looking which was the only thing I ever got votes for! Come on!

Also "Most Talented", a bit too broad? 

[Swar]

Wait, PM nominations... This means no more drama?

 

 

I'm glad the Codies are back

[Elindoril]

I love circlejerks.

That is not at all the case

This way the drama just happens when results are announced, not in the middle where it could affect peoples' votes.

You only say that because you know all your nominations were going to be bullshit.

And you're gunning for Wooden Spoon.

Fair enough   

 

Two questions, a) what difference does commenting on your votes make? and b) will we know only who won each category or all nominees?

Also an excellent choice.

I, however, will be refraining from nominating him for anything. Don't feed the wildlife.

I wouldn't dare to steal Frizzle's award.

He is, unfortunately, not around to claim his award.

Shall you accept it in his steed?

If you think someone really deserves a category, I suppose campaigning or commenting on them or that category could sway others to vote your way.

As for the latter, I think both with be available. Obviously the votes will not be tied to who voted for them. That would just be too dramarific.

[Elindoril]

Don't forget to vote me for Most Funny!

I could use the ego boost.

Well played.

Lee can still win his award btw. I think the last time I hosted a banned member won Next Banned Member.

Fine, nominating you for wooden spoon >

What a coincidence

 

(also you know i'm just busting your balls, right?)

Wait, I thought the PMs would count as our votes? Or is that just an idea Nymh wants us to discuss about?

[Keil]

Can I copy and paste my comments along with my nominations to here as well?

Too late for "busting balls", Wooden spoon winner.

You are the unspoken exception to that rule. I thought you would know that, so I didn't mention it.

It's meant to be broad. We have graphics and programming talent-related categories already.

Fair enough

A) It's for something I have planned. B) You don't know me very well, so I forgive you for not knowing this. I love data. Trust me, you will not want for data when this is over.

I would rather keep the votes private so that people can make their own decisions on who to vote for without just going for the popular decision. If you would like to discuss the merits of certain members that would be fine, but please don't post who you are voting for what.

Wait, I thought the PMs would count as our votes? Or is that just an idea Nymh wants us to discuss about?

I am leaning toward doing it this way but I would like to hear what you all think about it as well.

A) Oh, sweet! I'd comment no matter what, but it's good to know it's gonna be used

B) but I wanna know if I was nominated for something xD

I like this idea to avoid following the mass, but at the same time I think that we might forget about some people, and voting would fix that problem. I'm fine with either.

[Elindoril]

B) but I wanna know if I was nominated for something xD

I'm sure we'll know if we get nominated after everything is said and done.

Unless Nymh wants to horde all the data to herself.
