An idea for the new year - The Oolite Ooscars Awards.
Posted: Sun Jul 10, 2011 8:02 am
How would people feel about an annual Oolite Ooscars awards, to be held through January & February each year?
What I'm thinking is say6 7 10 Categories....
1) Best overall OXP to date. (must work with the current release of Oolite).
2) Best OXP eye (or ear) candy to date. (must work with the current release of Oolite).
3) Best new overall OXP of 2011.
4) Best new OXP eye (or ear) candy of 2011.
5) Best 'Tale from the Spacelane' of 2011 - (from the thread of the same name).
6) Best Screenshot of 2011 - (from the thread of the same name).
7) Best new Oolite fiction of 2011.
8.) Best Oolite fiction to date.
9) Best Your Ad. Here Advert (suggested by DaddyHoggy)
10) Unsung hero of the Coommunity 2011 (nominate any member for any reason, but could be extensive play testing and bug reporting , inspirational ideas for OXPers, plain helpfulness, cartographic services, wiki-wizarding, spam killing, humour etc etc you get the idea.)
Nominations would open throughout January and be via PM to the Ooscars president (whoever that may be...me I suppose as I've proposed the idea). Members can make up-to 3 nominations for each category. What constitutes 'Best' is entirely up-to those making the nominations. A little description of why that nomination is being made would be helpful to create some blurb for the next bit.
From 1/2/12 a shortlist of 3 to 5 entries for each Category would be made based on numbers of nominations and posted as a series of polls. Voting would close at the end of February and the winners announced on 1/3/12.
Prizes will be......well nothing.....except a dedicated wiki page to list current and previous shortlisted entries and winners. If the entry has it's own wiki page you can add that it was shortlisted or a winner to that page.
Winners can use a natty little graphic of the Ooscar (based on ADCK's Gold Plated Cobra) on their wiki page.
Thoughts, criticism etc. all welcome.
