Been stamped by JT and B4. ^_^

Nominations can be posted here or emailed to tpmsumrpgawards@yahoo.com, subject Nominations. VOTES, however, will ALL be emailed to tpmsumrpgawards@yahoo.com, subject Votes. If you have any problems with this, contact me via PM or IM.

[b]The Rules![b]

1) You cannot nominate or vote for yourself. The exception is if you nominate/vote for someone and/or their character that is in a RPG that you've started.
2) No multiple votes. If you submit something and want to change it before the deadline, resend/re-post it with a note at the top about corrections and bold the parts that you have changed.
3) Be fair. Don't PM all your little friends and ask them to vote for you, please. I know what you're doing behind my back...
4) Be punctual; deadlines are deadlines, and unless I give you clearance ahead of time, I won't accept anything past the cut-off dates. Believe it or not, I do have a life, and that life is on a schedule. I'm going to be very generous as far as timelines go here, so work with me, people!
5) When you send in nominations or votes via email, please include your username. Anyone who doesn't will have their submission disqualified and you'll have to do it over again.
6) There is NOOOOOOOO rule six.
7) Up to six nominations per category. The sooner your votes are in, the better chance you have to get your choices onto the ballot. If I have seven nominations, each with one backing, I will put the first six on the ballot. If, among those same seven, one has two backings, the last nomination in with one backing will be knocked off.

The Deadlines

Have all of your nominations in no later than September 26. This gives you two weeks, so there shouldn't be any excuses. I should have the voting ballot up by the following Friday (I'm too lazy at the moment to find the actual date), assuming that I get enough feedback to make it worth the effort. If not, I'll send my mafia grunts around to beat the hell out of random people, I guess...

*shrugs* Haffun.
