Introducing WG Seasonal Awards

By Snowzak on 23/03/2008
After MANY suggestions and favourable opinions concerning clan awards, and many promises from the Leadership to input them, we're introducing in these first days of Spring, the WG Seasonal Awards, which would be voted by WG members once each season, i.e. every three months.

WG Awards wouldn't be WG Awards if the clan as a whole didn't participate entirely in their elaboration.

This'll be a collective, clan-wide project.

It'll be done in a few steps - the first one is getting your suggestions.

[b]My Suggestions/Ideas for the WG Awards System:[/b]


DZ and I discussed this a bit, and remains in our ideas quite a few blank spots.

Our Suggestions/Ideas for the WG Awards System:
-First choose categories/awards (Best PKer, Best Looking IRL, Most Horny and whatnot...)
-Find some way to limit the amount of awards possible per person (so that two people don't win all of the awards...)
-One or two awards maximum per person?

Personally, I'd like to see awards for:
-Best No-Lifer (Activity)
-Friendliest
-Power Trainer
-Rookie of the Season (joined under three months ago when nominations open)
-H-Core'st Tank
-Skills Master
-Best P2p BH'er
-Best F2p BH'er
-Funniest TS Accent
-Most Mature
-Forum beast
-Hottie IRL (Male or Female...)
-Most Dedicated
-Recruiting Machine

etc...

Don't forget that we need a way of allowing everyone to win one, and limiting the amount that people can win - suggest away!

By DZ on 23/03/2008
I'm really curious to hear of your ideas. We talked for a bit, but it's hard with only two people to come up with all of the categories, and rules for them.

What I think is most important is to limit the amount of awards people can win, but how? Feedback please.

More suggestions by DZ:
Best Sniper
Most Intimidating
Most Improved
Quietest
Most TS active
Most helpful
Throw some monster hunter award in there?

I'm tired, I'm low on ideas right now tongue.gif

I just added them together and I think that is a good list. In my eyes I think people should only be able to win a maximum of two!

You are still missing the whole point, it's not awards we need. It's a way of allowing everyone to win won, and limiting the amount that people can win that we need.

By Pseudomage0 on 23/03/2008

It should be a maximum of two for each person just to keep it fair and reasonable for everyone to get an award.

By Elyxiatic on 23/03/2008
Yay!
I'm happy for these to be introduced.
biggrin.gif
Does everybody have to win one though?
Like, that'd be a lot of awards.
I think 3 max per person would be good.

By Randy on 23/03/2008
Most Crippled. Har har.

By Snowzak on 23/03/2008
I think a Combat Competition every three months could designate the "Best Trainer" award.

By JC on 23/03/2008
I have one problem with this, how are we going to stop this becoming a popularity contest. I do realise that by allowing each person to only receive 2-3 awards this would reduce the risk, but some of the awards arent the kind of thing that can be recognised by a vote.

Just a few examples:

Best Tank-- Does a normal member really watch each fight to see who is the 'Best tank'? I'm going to guess not....

Best sniper-- Again.... if youre at a war and your attention is on finding who the best sniper is rather than figthing then you're not doing your job :/

I think a distinction should be made between which awards are given by a clan vote and which are nominated and then voted on by either the tertiary leaders/raid leaders and council.

In regard to rewards.... as we can no longer offer financial rewards what will people get for 'winning' one of these awards? I would love to suggest banners but since Wg only has a couple of sig-makers now it would put a huge demand on them to provide a huge amount of underbanners/sigs.

What else can we reward winners with?


By Karel Dude on 23/03/2008
Best f2p gear?

By Mager123789 on 23/03/2008

You also need to find the dates of the seasons so you can make them actual Seasonal awards!

Well the solution would be to limit the amount of awards one person can be nominated in, before voting starts.

But I'm not sure how we could do that. For the rest, well, we have to trust in WG's impartiality.

I'm not a fan of having only Tertiaries+ voting, as we don't really represent WG as a whole.

By Quikdrawjoe on 23/03/2008
But for certain categories raid leaders are the best qualified to judge that and it would mean a lot more if a person thought that the people who know about fighting really thought they deserved it. I don't know anything about skilling so leave me alone. sleep.gif

By Vert Night on 23/03/2008
Awards would be a great way to make people work harder to be good clan members. I personally think the best awards to have are:

Best Tank
Best Trainer
Best Recruiter
Most Active
Best Hybrid
Most Friendly
Most Mature
Best New Member
Best Old Member

My Suggestions/Ideas for the WG Awards System:

Yeah I'm with the idea of giving them to every person as possible, would give every member a special thing about himself to brag about hash.png

I read all the categories suggestions, liked them all except some few stupid ones. There isn't anything more to add to them wink.gif

By Back to Own on 23/03/2008

Most Fruity
Most Active
Most lucky
Most helpful
Most active monster slayer

Higher guardian of the season
etc
Best pker

Funniest

Annoying

Ill try to think of more

By Pyro Blade26 on 23/03/2008
Just make it so you can't get more than 1.
realistically 70+ awards is alot of different awards to make.
with the words "Best, most, and the -est ending" multiple people can't get the same award.


heres some more ideas

most likely to be muted (someone who swears alot XD)
Luckiest Monster Hunter
Best ranger (cough me cough)
Most helpful
Most cocky
Pc addict
Most addicted to wood
Most addicted to fish
Most addicted to etc.

By Me9alomaniac on 24/03/2008
My Suggestions/Ideas for the WG Awards System:
Best Binder
Best Sniper
Best F2P/P2P Tank

Most Active
Nicest Member -- Most Helpful/Friendliest
Funniest
Best Cheerleader (motivator, lol user posted image)
Most Improved user posted image
Best Forum Poster

I believe awards should primarily highlight the best member contributions but a few random ones would be cool too user posted image

Lmfao!
I so thought of Stoke when I read that tongue.gif

But anyways, I think that is a REALLY good idea since it would inspire people to work harder with whatever hash.png
