Sidders Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Okay, so in the absence of previous years' forum compère, Holly, I've taken over hosting the TPM Annual Awards for 2011. The proceedings will be similar to last year, and after having spoken to a number of forum members about potential changes in order to make the awards both more enjoyable and more efficient, there's a few changes here and there.The Park AwardsFirst round comprises of the Park Awards. The Park with the most votes in each category wins. Below are the selected categories: Best UK Park Best International Park Best UK Coaster Best International Coaster Most Reliable UK Ride/Coaster Most Uncomfortable Ride* Best Inversion** Best-Landscaped Park* Cleanest Park* Best Flat Ride*^ Best Dark Ride* Best 2011 Addition*+ Best-Looking 2012 Project* Best Manufacturer (*) These categories pertain to all nominees worldwide.(**) This category concerns all standard and non-standard inversions in general and is not specific to a certain ride. For example, you would vote "Cobra roll" as opposed to "Colossus' cobra roll" or "Lie to Fly" as opposed to "AIR's Lie to Fly".(^) This category pertains only to fixed rides at established theme parks, amusement parks or otherwise. Travelling fairground rides will not be included.(+) Anyone caught voting for Storm Surge will have all their votes discounted.The Forum AwardsThe Second round comprises of the Forum Awards. As before, each Award is given to the member who receives the most votes for a corresponding category; an accolade they can choose to wear in their signature for the following year.Best Member Funniest Male Funniest Female Biggest Fanboy Biggest Fangirl Best Quality Posts Sexiest Male Sexiest Female Best New Member* Best Moderator Best Administrator Most Sarcastic Most Likely To Be Banned in 2012 Sexiest Voice Most Knowledgeable Member (*) This nominee needs to have signed up after January 1, 2011 to be considered eligible for this Award.There are fewer rules and regulations to Round 2, as it's meant to be a bit of a laugh, so let's not have people getting up in arms if they're not satisfied with some of the results. Some of the above categories are obviously tongue in cheek, so don't take it to heart.Important:Should you wish to vote, Copy & Paste the above lists and CLEARLY denote who/which park etc. you nominate for each category. Once I have your votes, I will PM you confirmation of receiving them. If there is a problem in understanding your votes, I'll PM you back saying so. You must rectify the problem and send them back to me, with any other changes in votes you wish to make. Please make sure your votes are final, as once they are received and there is no issue with them, I will only allow you to rectify your votes once. If you decide to change a vote(s) then you must PM me saying so, along with your new vote(s) for the categories you wish to change. Once your votes have been rectified, I will send you a confirmation PM. You will not be allowed to change your votes after this point. You do not need to vote for every category. Should you wish to withdraw yourself from voting in a certain category, simply say so in your PM vote. This topic will close at 20:00 (8pm) on December 18, 2011. This gives you 21 days to vote. Any votes received after this time on December 18, 2011 will not be included. The details set out at the bottom of each Round category list is final. All your votes must adhere to these rules. The categories listed above are not for further negotiation. They will stay as they are. Further Information:All votes will be kept confidential, even from the Senior Team. You are not allowed to vote for yourself in any of the Forum Awards categories. Each vote will count for one point for each nominee for each category. 3... 2... 1... OKAY GO. Send your PMs at your will to me. Liam T, Mer, Luke_A and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamY Posted November 27, 2011 Report Share Posted November 27, 2011 Oooh excellent! Ahem btw guys, I think a fair system to save Sidders some work would be to just specify votes that aren't for me rather than copying my username 20 times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidders Posted November 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Don't forget guys, the voting closes on December 18. Plenty of time to votes. So far I've received ten members' votes. If you've got a spare bit of time on your hands drop me a PM with your votes. I won't bite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Users Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I know it won't be changed this year but having a vote for reliability is odd because it isn't subjective really. A ride is working or not working. Ellie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
