How does one get there if one is a raving idiotic lunatic and somehow a judge?

I wear teal, blue & pink for Swith
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man’s fears, and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.

People often don't read through other nominations before submitting their own. Worse, they don't take the time to research. They rush to nominate their friends.
I believe the nominations should be "first, stands". If I'm the first to nominate Swith for Best Horror Post, this is the only entry that will be considered that quarter. Zark can come along and nominate her for Best Horror Post using a different post but it won't count.
This tackles several issues:
- It KOs flooding. People will need to be selective when weeding through their Nom list. If they slap up a shitty entry, they might screw that person's chances of winning with a better-written entry.
- It prevents crowing. Crowing is poor sportsmanship. "I got five nominations!" Yes, but you're judged on only the first.
- It pushes people to explore their threads for writers that might not be nominated normally because they're low on the group's pecking order. It expands the nomination pool.
Unfortunately, it also opens the system to gaming, by allowing people to play spoiler strategies to guarantee that other people win. It's not hard for me to nominate A for a weak post, knowing it will torpedo their chances. Then my bud B can nominate our mutual friend C for an excellent post, knowing that A is out of the running.
I also have serious problems turning the nominations into a clickfest. Nominating first or last should have no effect on the candidate's chances, only their post quality should. If somebody is nominated multiple times for different posts, fine. That may be a symptom of flooding by their friends/RP partners, or it may simply indicate that different people see different good posts they've made as the best. Wading through the multiple entries is why we have judges.
Perhaps we should specify that multiple nominations for a single person in a single category will lead the judges to first select what they collectively believe to be the nominee's best post for the category. The best posts for all nominees in a category will then be compared to determine the winner. This is more work, yes, but I think it's the most fair system.

Is military like the replacement of the old war category? If so, perhaps espionage would better belong in contemporary adventure? I mean, James Bond kind of thing is the very epitome of both, IMO.
Crime includes detective, mystery sort of thing, right? And quick check, fantasy still means high-fantasy sort of fantasy? (I mean technically sci-fi is fantasy, isn't it)

Yep, unless you'd rather not be a judge.
We have the initial tallies in for the RP/RPer/Character portion. We have several ties, and several one-nomination ties with three or more people (several categories). We'd like to have the judges look through things to determine placement. We also have a request for judges to review a tie for character nominations. This is why links were important.
We'll move on to judging posts during the week. There aren't many so it will go quickly.
We do need to know who is still available to judge.

Ah, ok. Yeah, the thing is that it doesn't represent what we do on NS so much, because different demographic and stuff.
Though, merging military and adventure... that's an idea, hm.
I volunteered as backup but wasn't added, but I don't really mind if I'm put in or not; if there's an active shortage though, I'll volunteer.

Yep, which is why it was based on it but the wiki list isn't used.
Cer's suggested change:Romance, Nation RP are missing.
Pft. Here's my suggestion:
Categories are for the contest only. It allows RP to compete fairly. If every player nominates the same RP in different categories, the votes are too widely scattered. An RP that might win one category actually wins none because it doesn't have enough votes in a specific category.
Quibbling point: Fantasy. "Does that include High Fantasy?"
Some believe Fantasy should only be magic, wizards, elves etc. Some group World of Darkness, WH40K and WFRP, Polandball, Hellsing, Pokemon, Superheros, etc under the genre. I honestly don't know how to best break down this category other than to give Superheros their own unique group.
Some suggestions that have been made during varied discussions: WH40K can easily fit into Scifi. Pollandball goes to Misc. Pokemon is Adventure. So too is World of Darkness and Hellsing, according to some fans, while others insist it's Horror (?!) because it involves vampires, werewolves and other supernatural creatures. Warhammer Fantasy and Tolkien-esque things belong in Fantasy. I dunno. It's a good topic for discussion here.
Turn-Based/Mechanic. My reasoning behind a unique category:
Though they could be grouped in other genres, these RP are unique in their design. Take a look at any of G-Tech's TB/M RP, or SaintB's War Journals for examples. I'd like the community at large to become more aware of Turn-Based/Mechanic RP. I'd like to see this RP style grow by allowing it to stand on its own, and to compete solely with others of its kind. However, the Master of TB/M, G-Tech, should have the final say in it.
None of this is set in stone, and all of it is open to discussion. We need everyone's input on this stuff.
