Due to my due date of joining, I feel I never had a fair chance at winning this award due to the arbitrary date you placed. I joined 31 days before your deadline, and as a result never really had a chance to participate for either the 2010 or the 2011 award, due to the arbitrary date line.
I would like to move for the time on the newbie award to be changed to a more inclusive "joined in 2010" time. Then it at the very least gives all players a chance at 1 year of play. Because my only chance at the newbie award would have been in 2010, where I had 4 months of play. Due to your ineligibility date, all my other time (while still being under a year on this site) is not even looked at.
Using the "joined in the previous year" idea works better to include all players, as it provides a minimum of 1 year experience (assuming a December join date).
Of course, there is also the option of only counting games played within the first year, so that it makes everyone equal. So for this scummies, eligability would work like this:
-Joined in 2010 or later
-Only first year of games are counted (from join date to 1 year later).
This gives all players equal time to prove themselves for the award, and also removes the arbitrary cut off where people like me who join just before the date get screwed.
Yes my Lord, but questions are dangerous, for they have answers.
