Thanks for that but this SOTY is an event apart from the Annual Award, isn't it?

Probably a week or so. Have to tally all the nominations and stuff. Didn't have as many nominations this year as in previous years, so it shouldn't take too long.

[Greenline]

@Ryan: Could you use some help?

[Ryan]

Between the staff who are helping, we'll be good, but thanks anyway.

Unrelated to Forum Awards, but it can be used to help you nominate someones' signature if you don't know who or how for that category, just linked it for that.

I believe, it's too late to carry out what I'd like to say. III and IV Era modifications cannot be compared, because much more people are certainly interested in the newest era modding. Plus, the gameplay environment is absolutely different.

After all, you've done a nice work so far. As regards the considerable delay of this voting, any issues may be comprehended.

Exactly, they are completely different games in many aspects. However, there are not many entries in the modding awards and probably that's why the categories are not separated.

Unfortunately though, I don't think those nominations will count since no one of them are GTA related. I remember Ryan posting about this here, answering to a question of Meta in the 2010 awards.

QUOTE (meta187 @  Wednesday, Jan 5 2011, 19:51) In the GTA Series Awards category for Best Contribution does that only apply to GTA modding or does that apply more broadly to the entire forum? Only GTA Related. So modding, save files, guides, ect. Nothing community related such as miromiros newbie guide.

Just saying, so you could use your nominations for something that can be nominated.

The Best Contribution Category is GTA related, so BnB's Modding Guide is fine, but your New Member Guide is not eligible since it's not GTA related.

[Wesser]

Why awarded stuff can be rewarded again? They shouldn't be eligible.

[NaidRaida]

How long does it take approximately to count all nominations?

[miromiro]

Considering that there are almost half of the nominations last week, and out of what I saw Ryan saying here, they shouldn't need more than 1 week to finish off the polls, and the voting can then start.

[NaidRaida]

Woops, I already thought it's over.
I thought they just add the nominations and the one with the most is the winner. So this is not the end! I didn't knew about upcoming polls. I see, there are more secrets about this awards. Thanks miro.

[miromiro]

The number of nominations for a member are not really something that tells who'll win and who'll lose. Either you get nominated one time or ten, you'll still be in the same poll with all the other opponents, having the same chances of winning like everybody else. The votes decide everything.

[SatournFan]

Just a quick question: if one nominated me or something mine, but one time, can it still be in voting?

[Wesser]

Yes, a nomination is enough to appear in each voting pool.

[Dr. John13]

Will this be also called vote:

Of course not. It has to be an individual nomination.
