Hey! Since BYM is going to be seeing it’s **FIRST NEW YEAR** pretty soon (WOOHOO!!), I thought I’d start a little awards ceremony for the end of the year and see if it catches on. And if it doesn’t, this never happened, of course. :P * * * ### There are 10 prestigious awards for anyone (or anything!) elected, which are: 1. Member of the Year 2. Alliance of the Year 3. Alliance Leader of the Year 4. Alliance Member of the Year 5. Thread of the Year 6. Everyone’s Favorite Forum Troll 7. Most Helpful Member 8. Most Likeable Member 9. Most Influential Member 10. Most Knowledgeable/Experienced Member * * * If you are interested in voting, make sure that you post that here or let me know via PM. #### If you do not verify that you completed some or all of the survey on the BYM forum or by PMing me, YOUR SUBMISSIONS WILL BE DELETED. * * * ## WE CAN HAZ CAMPAINZ? Yes!! Just for the fun of it (and yes, I do see this kind of research as “fun”), I’ll let a handful of members campaign in the next few posts. Just tell me what you want on the ad and I’ll post it up. It could be as simple as “Vote for \_\_\_\_ for \_\_\_\_\_\_” or you could do an all-out advertisement. But know this: _if you post your ad anywhere else on THIS thread, I will not double post it on my own post_. Of course, feel free to do your own ads if you feel so inclined. * * * So yeah, I was just thinking (I do that occasionally), it’s the end of the year, and we’ve all enjoyed the game and the drama, so why not top em off with a new annual tradition of handing out awards for all of our troubles. ^\_^ Note: This voting session will be for this era of players and alliances or those whose impact is still vividly felt. (Ex: Even though Dragonarcherz is not “active,” his Base Creation Thread has had a noticeable impact.) [Link to the Awards Survey!](http://kwiksurveys.com?u=BYM2011Awards) ##### The survey automatically redirects to the forums. ### The voting ends 12/23 at midnight.

Okay, I just voted.

I think NewBlimpy should get an award for starting this thread.

We’ll see what it comes to. You can vote, you know. But do the survey. :) > *Originally posted by **[wtfmidun](/forums/81/topics/226017?page=1#posts-4858687):*** > > I think NewBlimpy should get an award for starting this thread.

Wait, there’s no category for best player…

> *Originally posted by **[wtfmidun](/forums/81/topics/226017?page=1#posts-4858723):*** > > Wait, there’s no category for best player… I think that’s kind of implied in the whole “member of the year” deal. Besides, I don’t want to add too many categories in order to keep simplicity.

How long is the voting open for?

> *Originally posted by **[ihalfhand](/forums/81/topics/226017?page=1#posts-4858752):*** > > How long is the voting open for? Lol, I guess that’s sort of important. The voting ends 12/24 at midnight.

This is an amazing and exciting event. At least for me, as I actually hope to win one award. :D By the way, is the vote 100% secret, or can I tell who I voted on for one of the categories?
