Congratulations to our winners in Tyrrhenia, and I hope to see you bring a strong game next year!
Welcome to the first 2011 RPers' Region for the Favourite RPers' Regional Competition, which will showcase and round down a group of RPing Regions through votership based on no actual major criteria save for preference. Of course, in understanding that, I have regardless of that fact decided to create the first of the International Incidents RPers' Region Region showdown, which will break down and pit the names of RPing Regions or regions consisting of RPers as its base to compete and vote on their favourites.
Considering the general variety, I have chosen 'Favourite' rather than 'Best' because it fosters some semblance of elitism in the word anyhow. Even though 'Favourite' may be contestable at certain points, I am assuming people of their own region would vote for their region anyhow.
So how is this done?
It'll be in single-elimination tournament bracket style, with a Left and Right division, leading down to a final pit to crown a region as International Incidents' Favourite RPing Region.
You know this may not be an accurate indicator of the sentiment, right?
It's mainly for fun, nothing too serious. Plus to pump some pride (hopefully) of individual RPers into their own regions.
Who may join?
Anyone who fits the criteria of an II or Nationstates-esque RPing Region, and considering the vagueness of that title, I will be the one who will have the final say as to whether they're in or not. Considering that I will be fairly flexible in what is or isn't an RPing region, please keep in mind that there isn't usually a problem unless you're being stupidly anti-RP and trying to join. If I'm steadfast in my opinion (I'll tell you by saying 'I'm steadfast in that 'no' '), then there's no point arguing.
How will the voting happen?
I'll host threads that'll be linked by this Nexus thread from voting threads in FN&I where the voting will occur. It'll generally go on for about 2 days and then taken off. Considering that I do have work and various other commitments, I will try to give an accurate timeframe of when I'll end a thread at the beginning to minimise accusations of lawlcarruption.
Voting threads will be linked in the main thread here.
Can I nominate or forward a region?
By all means.
