Welcome to the 2010 Unown Awards!
First off, yes, you're in the Misc. forum, however, with PCG shifting its focus to all games, we've decided to move the Unown Awards here this year considering this is where the TPM Awards have been held in past years.
This is the nomination round, which will last for two weeks, putting the deadline for nominations at November 15, 2010.
So with that, let's get started!
For those of you who don't know how this works: In the nomination round we pick members who have something to do with a word or phrase that starts with the letter represented by each Unown. As you can see, we also have awards for the ! and ? Unowns. They're given out for things that end in an exclamation or question mark. The exclamation mark award is usually given out for something surprising, and the question mark award is usually given out for something strange/questionable/unusual/mysterious/etc. For each Unown, put the username of the member you're nominating along with what you're nominating them for.
To use last year's winners as examples, if you are impressed by mr_pikachu's grammar skills, then you would put
G: grammar - mr_pikachu
as your nomination, or if you found it really surprising that Lady Vulpix found our long-lost webmaster Kevin, you might put
!: She found Kevin! - Lady Vulpix
Don't feel obligated to put in a nomination for each Unown award, and you are allowed to go back and edit your nominations before the deadline. If you're still not sure how it all works, check out the threads for last year's Unown Awards in the Main Archive forum.
The next round will be the voting round, where we'll take everyone's nominations and vote for who is the most deserving of each award, followed by any tiebreaker rounds. Lastly, the winners will be announced.
