FIRST ANNUAL SCUMMIES (2003)

[Phoebus]

I might be the first in line for that Leo, you evil Oliphaunt!
But I don't wanna make a habit of it.

[Phoebus]

If it was good enough you wiil.

[Phoebus]

"It"
Really Cadmium...!

[/spam]
Sorry I tried not to.

[Phoebus]

Now if only you could spell my name right, you'd get more cool points!

Hmm. This is a surprise...?

In any case, I won't mind doing the next edition but we do have to wait till january regardless I should think...

[Phoebus]

Nominations - end november
Selection of Jury - mid december
Setting up of forums/threads - end december
Voting - January

If I am indeed to be the "host" would it be possible to get me access to the Scummie forums? We could probably use the same ones but I have a few ideas about procedure. Just wanna see if the something similar was used last year, and if not, set it up...

[Phoebus]

Emmies = ~ July. Who wants to wait that long?

This thread was posted in April. Do we want to stick the Jan-May schedule?
Personally, I think a nice new year can be celebrated by nice new awards in Jan.

[Phoebus]

With the return of quite a few old hands - any thoughts on "best returning performance"

Also - "best newbie"? This will probably have many winners. But still...
Or "best performance(s) by a newbie". I don't think Rome should be counted here...not many of them make it to the other lists. Performances implying consistency...

[Phoebus]

You'll definitely be in the "generic newbie" category, for not get the name right. I'm sure DP will vote for you.

[Phoebus]

April is a bit late. The original Oscars idea sounds much more comfortable.

[Phoebus]

The Oscars are on the 27th of February.
Nominations should begin around the 5th of December through the 5th of January to let in year ending games.

Then we can mooch around for a couple months with the voting and announce as per schedule.

I'd like to keep the announcement date same as the Oscars. If you want any changes in the nomination schedule, let me know.
Also, to bring a sort of structure to the process, I propose that nominations be seconded and submitted in a form like this:

Nominee:

name

Award:

category

Game:

thread link

Second:

name of seconder assuming the poster to be the original nominee.

I'll put up a nomination thread when nominations begin to be accepted.

Again, I'd like to ask for any new ideas for awards anyone may have.

Personally, the best newcomer(s) and strongest/best returning player are something I'd like to see. What do y'all think?
Also, possible names for the new awards (if/when) are also solicited.

[Phoebus]

Change in schedule.
Since a month was too long to be mooching around doing nothing.

I'll put up a thread accepting new award ideas in a week's time.

Nominations now begin January 2 - February 2
