Hello to everyone and welcome to CricketWorld awards that will be hosted by; Freddie, MP12 and me, Spin Wizard.  The categories that you will be voting for are below.
 
Best New Member (nominate 5 - Members Registered Since 1st September last year)***
Best Contributing Member
Most Knowledgeable Member
Most Controversial Member
Funniest Member
Most Improved Member (registered before 1 September 2006)
Best Cricket Forum Game
Best Cricket Sim
Best Cricket Computer Game
Member of the Year (nominate 5)***
Topic of the Year
Post of the year
Quote of the Year
 
*** There will be 5 member of the year award and best new member of the year award. That is, the 5 members who outruns everyone else on votes will get this award. Now after the votings have finished, the 5 member of the year award will have another vote and this time, the one member who receives the most vote, will be voted the #1 member of the year.
 
Voting starts from now and will run for a month which goes up until the 3 August 2007! There will be 2 extra days to count the votes so the winners will be announced on the 5 August 2007. You have to PM your votes to any of the hosts. Anyone who vote for themself will be automatically thrown into "most foolish member" award category and I don't care if you do it as a joke, it will be done unless the moderators have other thoughts!
 
The second phase for member and best new member of the year will run for a week! So that runs from the 5 - 12 August 2007 and the result will be announced on the 14 August 2007.
 
If there are any questions, feel free to ask; and if there are any queries about whether a category is good or not, we're glad to have your opinion and also, if there are other categories you want to be added, feel free to give your opinion. The more the merrier I say!!
 
Good luck to all and may the best man win......well, and woman too! Start your votes now and remember, PM them to one of the host. Remember, who you vote for will only be known by the host it is PMed to and you so don't be afraid. LOL

I have already received an award from someone for Post of the year and it goes something like this "Someones only post pretending to be someone." Please quote it and don't put it in your own words!
 
And one more thing, continue viewing the thread incase of further updates!

Good work Spin Wizard! Remember just PM one of us not all 3. Make sure you read Spin Wizard's post before submitting your votes. Let the voting begin!

Anyone who vote for themself will be automatically thrown into "most foolish member" award category and I don't care if you do it as a joke, it will be done unless the moderators have other thoughts!

By the way when voting MP12's Cricket World XI story is not a sim, so please don't vote for it, a sim is the kind of game when members take control of teams in a tournament/league.

That's a good point. The Cricket World Story is half a sim but half isn't. It involves a simulator but like Freddie said members don't control the teams. Maybe we should have two parts to that catergory. Best sim which members vote on and can include Cricket World Story and a most popular sim which has the most members participating in it.

Yes ... The most foolish member wasn't a catergory, Spin Wizard just made it up so that anyone who did vote for themself would be named as a most foolish member.

We could have gone with it but I didn't want anyone to feel embarrassed, so I decided against it.

With a title like best argument category for some reason my instict is saying that you should vote for a BEST ARGUMENT sorry bondy but the title best argument doesnt seem clear enough

I came up with the idea having seen and being involved in many arguments- something we've all done and subsequently can relate to.
 
For the voters, go through the threads, or use your memory to locate an argument that you find most memorable. It can either be a group argument, e.g. the continuing Murli v Warne debate, or an individual argument, both large or small.
 
For this category there should be a top three- though I think it should mainly be focused on members, not group arguments.
 
This could be a sub-category for the most controversial member, given that most arguments are surrounded by controversy.
Good one Graham!

The only argument on here that is focused on members are those who have a go at each other. LOL
 
So bondy, what you're trying to say is of all the argument in the thread/page, who made the best argumentative post in it is the post that the voters should vote for. Well, it seems a good idea - what do you posters out there say? Or do we need more elaboration?

Arguments are an essential part of any forum; often they bring out the best in people's opinions and aren't always negative.

An argument often consists of a series of posts, back and forth, between one or more members. I guess it comes down to what the posters remember most vividly as an argument; not necessarily the best but most memorable as finding the best would be near impossible. I also nominate a top three, instead of one winner.
Good one Graham!

You can still vote again, although only on the catergories you have not voted for or new ones.
The argument catergory does sound like a good idea, so I say why not!
