Whats that? You missed that section of the website?
Anyways it will be a timed 7 day poll to vote for the best regiment of Renown and perhaps it might just appear in a certain ezine here on Chaos Dwarfs Online. So that means that voting will close on Sunday the 14th at 9:09 AM.
To vote download the PDF and then read through the choices. You may vote one time.
Thanks to all who entered and slaves will be coming your way once the contest is over.
With the Golden Hat well on the way it's time to roll out the community awards.
2009 was quite a good year I think. We had a lot of excitement with rumours about things, some really great fan lists and of course even more awesome Word of Hashuts to read.
Our membership base continued to increase at a fairly consistent level, helped in part with all the cool competitions we do.
I was saying to the staff the other day that I think we must be quite rare as a forum in that we have had an almost constant cycle of contests for so many years.
Anyhow, it's time to get your nominations in. REMEMBER: This is only for achievements in between the community awards in 2009 and now. Anything that has been achieved in years past other than 2009 cannot be counted.
Please remember everyone that even if you are not nominated for anything it doesn't mean that we as a community don't recognise your personal contributions to the site (and possibly the CDO cause). This is all just a bit of harmless fun really, so don't take it too seriously.
The categories are:
Best Attitude - A member should be nominated on their forum presence and behaviour toward other members, displaying exemplary attitudes of kindness and encouragement.
Best General - This member is always ready to give advice on army lists, has very good lists of his own, and perhaps has won a tournament or two using his Chaos Dwarf army.
Best Hobbyist - A nominee for this award has contributed an amazing model, or models that exemplifies what a Chaos Dwarf army should look like: flawless execution of conversion and painting while adhering to the Chaos Dwarf mythos.
Best Contributor - This award will go the member that has contributed most to the cause of the Chaos Dwarfs. He or she has done or made something that has profoundly benefited the presence of Chaos Dwarfs as a whole!
Best Overall Member - This member may not be the best hobbyist, might not ever win a tournament, but he or she has a great presence on the site, the forum, the wiki, the chat and whatever else! They are dedicated to the cause of the Chaos Dwarfs!
What to nominate for?
I encourage you to supply the reason for your nominations, as it will be interesting to put some of them in the Word of Hashut. If you can't think of who to nominate for a category, do some research. If you don't know who the best general should be for example, take a look at the Gaming section of the forum. Who's been posting battle reports, tactic and helping others with army lists? These should help you come up with a nominee.
How to Nominate
PM your nominations to Staff (a special user that all Staff have access to).
You can only nominate one person per category.
Nominations should include this:
Award Name
Member Name
The contribution that should be recognized.
In a change from previous years, the Nominations will be tallied and ranked. The top 3 members for each category will then be sent a pm asking them to accept or reject their nomination by a certain deadline. If they accept they will then become an official nominee.
If a member rejects the nomination it will be offered to the person with the 4th highest votes, and so on. This may mean that if a lot of people reject nominations, or there are not enough people nominated in a category there may only be 1 or 2 people to vote for (or potentially none).
If a person does not reply to the pm we will work on the assumption that they want it and it will automatically be accepted.
We will not tell people how many other nominees there are.
The final nominees' names will then be prepared in separate polls for all to vote on beginning 12th February. After this there will be a 2 week public poll to decide the winners.
Deadlines:
The deadline for sending in nominations is 11:59 EST (eastern standard time) 10th February 2010.
Exempt Members
Note that any members with warnings outstanding will not be given the opportunity to accept a nomination.
The Staff CAN be nominated, HOWEVER, they must not be nominated for their staff-related duties. For example, Willmark could be nominated for his work on the Webzine, but not for being excellent at moderating the forums. This way we are all on fair ground. We are dealing with what we offer the forum as members, not as staffers.
If you have any questions, just ask! Send your nominations in as soon as you can!
Since there are three entries this time around for Artisans we can run this as a timed poll. This poll will be open for 7 day timed poll.
I'd like to congratulate the entrants as the holiday contest is always a tough one as we all get caught up the festivities. So with that said I think congratulation on behalf of the forum are in order.
Welcome to the 11th Golden Hat competition of Chaos Dwarfs Online!
Subject Matter
Create an unmounted Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer. Unit Strength 1.
Basing
The model does not have to sit on a game-legal 20mm base, but it cannot be in a duel with anything. The base can be no larger than 40mm.
Particulars
Due Date: 11:59 PM February 28th 2010 EST (Eastern Standard Timezone)
Subject Matter: Create an unmounted 'Chaos Dwarf Sorcerer'
What is the deadline?
Once again same basic premise as previous Golden Hats; send all entries to the Golden Hat account no later 11:59 PM February 28th 2010 (Eastern Standard Timezone). Entries will not be accepted after that date and time regardless of how cool your submission is. (Around 6 weeks to complete your entry).
If for some reason you are having trouble with your submission, contact one of the Staff. in order to avoid problems. I "highly advise" that entrants do not wait until the very last minute to submit their entries...
How to Enter
Upload up to 4 photos of your entries to the internet. Next, send a PM to Golden Hat (a special user that all Staff have access to) containing the links where the pictures can be found. (Note: This is the same as previous Golden Hats).
If you win:
- Rightly take your place in the Golden Hat Hall of Fame, where your glory will be remembered for years to come.
- Receive the Golden Hat medal for your online persona *
- Everyone who enters gets a number of slaves equal to the number of entries. If 50 people enter we award 50 slaves to each person who entered.
*= As with previous Golden Hats; if there are more then 10 entrants the silver and bronze Golden Hat Medals will be awarded as well.
As usual once all entries are received a thread will be created for voting. And as always if there are any questions please PM me, another Staff member or post them here.
